I mean it only makes sense itd count AI heroes only, otherwise itd be some inverse difficulty scaling that limits the AI more when the player is doing better (approximately). Its clearly a way to contain the AI. Btw, you dont happen to know the addresses of these limits in the code?
Edit: Found it. The limit of heroes per AI player (5 difficulties) starts at 260518, followed immediately by limits for total between all AI players (also 5) at 26052C.
Also, you mention mistranslation, I am curious, is fizmig sourced from other languages as well?

So, this -
Quote:
AI player does not hire new heroes if there are 9 or more heroes on the map (including the heroes of other players)
should be -

I believe, yes.
As for AI choices you asked, look at 524B70h. You may notice some 'magic numbers' in instructions (like mov eax, 66666667h or mov eax, 51EB851Fh). They are for optimized division.

I mean both empirically and common sense, yes.

Well these are hard to comprehend, Im gonna need some time to study them more.
In another thread you indicate another memory location: "sub_52C0B0", what is that about?
Also, I am sure this must have popped up before but I cant seem to find an answer to this: is there an easy way to disable a creature upgrade (both the unit and the building)? I am toying with the idea of removing skeleton warriors.

It's the function AI_choose_secondary_skill() which calls the mentioned earlier get_skill_value().

You can alter gTownEligibleBuildMask at 697740h. But it is filled in runtime, so it will be impossible in hex (at least, directy). And try to remove Skeleton's upgrade in the function GetMonsterUpgrade() at 47AAD0h.

No, switch jmp at 524C12h, and the cases for each skill start at 525184h (4 bytes for each, ending with First Aid at 52515Bh).

Is that last address correct? It seems to be before the one for start? Or am I reading it wrong?

The table itself is at 525184h and it contains addresses for the switch jmp. So, the address containing the code for First Aid is at 52515Bh.

I am struggling to read this, so up until 125184 it sets up by calculating all the coefficients etc then this section just puts the relevant ones together for each skill? But there dont seem to be enough formulas here? And I was expecting some of them to repeat themselves?
