BATTLE FOR WESNOTH NEUTRAL UNITS UPGRADE

The chance of a player being confronted with missions, if any, where and when the units who will dole out missions would be placed, what the missions are, and the rewards of the mission would all be decided by the Map Designer. It would also add an interesting strategy to the game in that you would have to choose between devoting units to accomplish your mission, or accomplishing the overarching objective of defeating your opponents. What you choose would remain a secret in both fog and no-fog maps to add some degree of secrecy in no-fog maps where, currently, everything you could want to know, you know (known as perfect information in further detail at ).

In my mind, it would be interesting if there were, on some select maps, a random chance that a unit confront you with a mission or a choice of misisons that could be performed for a reward such as gold, the chance to recruit a type of unit, an item, a gift of units, a second leader, a free upgrade for a unit, the gift of an ability to a unit of choice (such as give teleport to a unit of your choice) etc.

So, if one were to code an AI to instruct these neutral hostile units as to how to act, how do you think it should be coded? Do you think that these units should protect items to give even more incentive to attack them, or that they should guard areas with many villages? So, neutral units, although they can exist, don't function well currently. Yes, some neutral units can be placed on maps, however they aren't commonplace, putting them into play requires the slots of at least 1 player, and they don't behave in a manner that makes sense: they either move not at all or make attacks like a normal AI would. What neutral units, if any, do you think map designers should be able to be put into the game? Would they be hostile or passive? How would they function? How would they add to gameplay? Some proposals might be merchants who trade items for gold, or some other types that provide you with a quest (with a dialogue box similar to those found in campaigns such as in Heir to the Throne when you must decide whether to have the thieves help) and will give you a reward upon completion. Some may have (although I have searched the forums and no results were yielded) proposed neutral passive units that play a role in gameplay that doesn't entail attacking or defending. Some have proposed that these neutral hostiles carry special items as an incentive to attack these beasts (similar to Warcraft) or that they guard areas with multiple villages as an incentive or that they simply exist and the incentive is the XP that can be gained. Some have proposed neutral units that are hostile, but passive in that they attack opponents only when provoked. Some have proposed neutral units that are hostile and aggresive in that they actively attack opponents. There has been discussion in the past regarding neutral units on maps in Battle for Wesnoth.
