- Modified AI to not need to buy wool if it has more sheep than the abandon amount instead of allowing for any amount of sheep.
- Fixed AI buying iron from merchant thinking it was wool.
- Fixed AI not eating wheat when it didn't have enough to plant, but still needed to harvest.
- Added AI to edit big armies that are just sitting around in some cases.
- Fixed unknown army strengths not getting set when AI establishes if it should edit an army.
- Fixed AI bailing flooded fields that had nothing of value to be saved while still bailing empty fields if there is only one clear field.
- Reduced max percentage of peasants in AI armies
known issues for the next patch:
- sandbox AI treaties sometimes not rejected correctly
- a few remaining display issues with chinese font
- automatic battles happening in rare cases where regions are oddly shaped or too small
