Description

Preliminary checks

Describe the problem requiring a solution

At map marooned AI has a lot of strong neutral monsters surrounding him, and have town+marketplace. When I found him at 6 month, he had starting army and only 2 heroes. AI had enough gold to buy a lot of heroes, but he got only 2. He could buy and use starting army.

Describe the possible solution

Teach AI to hire heroes just for stronger army.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the AI hero hiring logic in source files under src/fheroes2/ai/ and identify where the decision to hire heroes is made. Look for conditions related to gold and army strength. Consider adding a heuristic to hire heroes when the AI has sufficient gold and a weak army relative to surrounding neutrals.
