Smarter ai

[MaxDorob]

Additions

Describe new functionality added by your code, e.g.

• Keep distance jobGiver. Behaviour can be changed by:
• By enemy weapon tag (weaponTagsOfDanger)
• By owner weapon tag (weaponTags)
• By race (humanlike\mech)
• By speed of enemy (doNotFleeIfFaster)
• By owner armor (doNotFleeIfCantPenetrate)
• By weapon type of enemy (meleeOnly)

Reasoning

Why did you choose to implement things this way, e.g.

• Make AI smarter

Alternatives

Describe alternative implementations you have considered, e.g.

• Snipers will fight in melee
