FloPinguin f7da20ddfd Nation build order improvements + Nation structure upgrading 🏠 (#3152)
Resolves #2997

## Description:

### New stuff

- Nations can upgrade structures now. They do it if they have too many
structures compared to their territory size
- They prefer to upgrade stuff thats protected by SAMs (based on
difficulty)
- Updated the build order, it also depends a bit on the difficulty now
(easy nations build less SAMs)
- Nations can handle extreme amounts of gold now. 500M starting gold? no
problem. Previously they only built cities
- They stop saving up for MIRV if they can afford it (in some old Enzo
"impossible difficulty experiment" videos you could see nations with
like 300M gold...)
- The save-up-target changes when bombs / hydros / MIRVs are disabled
- Added many checks for disabled units. For example: Don't build SAMs
when missile silos are disabled, focus on factories when ports are
disabled
- Updated the `structureSpawnTileValue` method, SAM-placement depends a
bit on the difficulty now

### Refactor

- Moved all structure related nation code into
`NationStructureBehavior.ts`
- Split up the good old `structureSpawnTileValue` method to make it more
readable
- Cleaned up NationExecution a bit

### A screenshot

FloPinguin 8ab9cef65b Various little nation improvements 🤖 (#3082)
## Description:

- Maybe greet nearby players with a 👋 emoji in the earlygame (make
nations feel a little bit more lively)
- Destroying a transport ship / capturing a trade ship of a nation now
updates the relation (mainly on higher difficulties)
- On hard difficulty: Only lift embargos if we have a friendly relation.
On impossible difficulty: Don't lift embargos
- Improve totalPlayers calculation and return value of
`hasTooManyAlliances` in `NationAllianceBehavior`

FloPinguin f7d3c2e0bc Nations donate troops now 💀 (In team games) (#2984)
## Description:

For v29, balances the HvN winrate.

In team games, nations now donate troops to their weakest team members
(if they have no attack options available).
How often they donate depends on the difficulty.

This PR also has some other little fixes:
- For HvN games, always return true in `shouldAttack()` (make nations a
bit more aggressive).
- Early exit in `attackWithRandomBoat()` for performance
- Early exit in `findNearestIslandEnemy()` for performance AND to make
sure nations which are encircled by friends don't run into this method
(=> no donation happening!)

Arkadiusz Sygulski 0e3ced3bfa Pathfinding Refactor pt. 2 (#2866)
## Playtest

https://pf-pt-2.openfront.dev/

## Pathfinding Refactor pt. 2

<img width="1536" height="1024" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9477958e-54b7-4c83-b317-ba789e809e9e"
/>


This is a follow-up to a previous PR introducing pathfinding changes.
This time, it introduces a complete refactor of `pathfinding` directory
and breakdown into composable pieces.

### Unified PathFinder interface

`PathFinder<T>` and `SteppingPathFinder<T>` are introduced to unify
**all** pathfinding across the application. First one exposes complete
path, while stepping variant allows the callee to iterate over the path
by calling `.next`. All pathfinders share this one common interface,
which makes them easy to use in any scenario -
`PathFinding.Water(game).search(from, to)`.

`SteppingPathFinder<T>` extends `PathFinder<T>` with an ability to
iterate over the path. It handles caching, storing current index and
invalidation. This allows the units to not care about the inner workings
of the pathfinder and just call `pf.next(current, target)` and receive
instructions on what to do next.

### Common entry point

All pathfinders are now exposed from common `PathFinding` entrypoint:

- `PathFinding.Water`
- `PathFinding.Rail`
- `PathFinding.Stations`
- `PathFinding.Rail`

Additional entry point is introduced for pathfinders which need to work
both in the worker, but also on the frontend, which lacks `Game`
interface. Currently only `UniversalPathFinding.Parabola` is available.

### Spatial Query

New module has been introduced close to `pathfinding` - `SpatialQuery`.
It aims to resolve any questions game may have about finding tiles
meeting criteria. Currently `SpatialQuery.closestShore(player, target)`
and `SpatialQuery.closestShoreByWater(player, target)` are available -
they help answering questions about naval invasion: "What is the best
landing location from user's click?" and "Which our tile should be used
to launch the transport ship?". Under the hood they use very similar
mechanics to pathfinding, so it felt right to put them close by.

### Modular architecture

Pathfinders now support transformers: `MiniMapTransformer`,
`ShoreCoercingTransformer`, `ComponentCheckTransformer`,
`SmoothingTransformer`. Transformers functions like a middleware in the
pathfinding chain. They wrap around the pathfinder and provide
additional functionality. This allows the pathfinder to focus on
actually finding the path instead of doing unrelated things.

Example chain for simple (A*) water pathfinding:
```ts
static WaterSimple(game: Game): SteppingPathFinder<TileRef> {
  const miniMap = game.miniMap();
  const pf = new AStarWater(miniMap);

  return PathFinderBuilder.create(pf)
    .wrap((pf) => new ShoreCoercingTransformer(pf, miniMap))
    .wrap((pf) => new MiniMapTransformer(pf, game.map(), miniMap))
    .buildWithStepper(tileStepperConfig(game));
}
```

The Pathfinder - here `AStarWater` - does not care about the conversion
between minimap and main map tiles. It also does not care if the source
or destination is a land tile. The transformers take care of that. The
pathfinder gets a set of valid coordinates and produces the path -
that's it.

Modular approach makes working on a particular set of utilities much
easier - for example map upscaling is handled consistently across all
pathfinders. Additionally, the pathfinders are not tied to the
particular map resolution used. Pass them a different map and they will
work the same.

### Algorithms

Algorithms used are neatly organized inside
`src/core/pathfinding/algorithms`. They are prefixed with the algorithm
name and suffixed with the use case. File without suffix exposes generic
version ready to traverse any graph with adapters. Specialized versions
either use an adapter or inline logic when performance is critical -
using adapters leads to 20-30% performance loss.

The directory includes `A*` and `BFS` but also other useful utils, such
as `AbstractGraph` used to generate... an abstract graph on top of the
tile map and `ConnectedComponents` helping to identify whether two tiles
are connected by a path without actually computing the path.

### Playground

The playground have been updated with new algorithms, including tweaked
very greedy `A*`.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1f833651-0024-4299-bf86-882f5368358c"
/>

### Tests

Yeah, there are some, a little too many if I say so myself. But there
are no useless tests. I had to ensure refactored code works somehow
reliably. This PR comes with trust me bro guarantee, but I would
appreciate someone confirming **naval invasions, nukes (esp. MIRV) and
warships**.

FloPinguin 240690c574 Yet another nation improvement PR 🤖 (#2841)
## Description:

### `NationAllianceBehavior`

- `isAlliancePartnerSimilarlyStrong()` now also checks for
`numTilesOwned`, should make it a bit easier to get alliances. The troop
calculation now also uses the players `outgoingAttacks` to make it feel
less random. OF-Discord-Humans complained.
- Rebalanced `checkAlreadyEnoughAlliances()` a bit

### `NationNukeBehavior`

- Don't save up for MIRV if they are disabled
- Don't try to throw atom bombs / hydros if they are disabled
- Hydro-Nations are allowed to throw atom bombs if they are under heavy
attack
- Rebalance `isUnderHeavyAttack()` a bit
- Increased perceived cost

### `NationEmojiBehavior`

- Fix multiple nations congratulated the winner instead of one
- Don't brag with our crown if the game is already over

### `DonateGoldExecution` & `DonateTroopExecution`

- Added `canSendEmoji` checks

FloPinguin 5955f89fe8 Nation build order improvements 🤖 (#2833)
## Description:

My first PR about the nation build order.
This one is a bit important for HumansVsNations.

- Nations build more SAMs in team games
- Nations build less factories if they have access to the ocean (instead
of focusing ports and factories with the same priority)
- Nations no longer place defense posts "without reason" - only when
they share a border with someone they haven't allied

I'm planning to make the build order a bit different based on
difficulty.

FloPinguin 96aa39a415 Improve nations 🤖 (#2817)
## Description:

### Refactor

- Moved `maybeSpawnWarship()` from `NationExecution` to
`NationWarshipBehavior`
- Moved `maybeAttack()` (and sub-methods) from `NationExecution` to
`AiAttackBehavior`

### Betrayal

- Added nice betrayal logic in `maybeBetray()`. Previously that method
was basically just a placeholder for a future implementation.

### Attacking

- Added `veryWeak()` attack strategy for hard and impossible difficulty
nations attack orders to target MIRVed players with higher priority
- Optimized the `weakest()` attack strategy so that nations don't attack
stronger players. This should make nation-attacks feel less random
(humans complained in discord)
- `findNearestIslandEnemy()` and `randomBoatTarget()` also no longer
returns stronger players
- `afk()` and `hated()` attack strategies no longer return MUCH stronger
players
- Several tiny refactorings, fixes and balance optimizations in
`AiAttackBehavior`

### Emojis

- Added some `canSendEmoji()` because I saw some "cannot send emoji"
warnings in the console

FloPinguin f73953c240 ☢️ Nations send much better nukes now (Part 2) ☢️ (#2779)
## Description:

### Refactor

- Moved `findBestNukeTarget()` (and child methods) from
`AiAttackBehavior` to `NationNukeBehavior` because it makes more sense.
- `NationNukeBehavior`: Renamed `mg` to `game` (So its similar to the
other nation .ts files)
- Moved the `removeOldNukeEvents()` method a bit

### New features

- Impossible difficulty nations are now optimized for SAM outranging!
- 1 of 3 nations is now a hydro-nation. They cannot send atom bombs.
They save up for hydros. This is to reduce atom-bomb-spam on the map.
- On impossible difficulty, the crown nukes the second place now (in
FFAs)
- On hard and impossible difficulty, nations now ignore the perceived
cost for nukes if they get heavily attacked. Reasoning: They should stop
saving for MIRV, they should defend with all their gold!
- On medium, hard and impossible difficulty, nations no longer throw
nukes at places where another team member already has a nuke "in the
flying process"
- Optimized `lastNukeSent` a bit (to respect nuke radius)
- Adjusted `maybeSendNuke()` to use 30 instead of 10 randomTiles on
impossible difficulty to improve chances of finding a perfect SAM
outranging spot
- On impossible difficulty, nations now ignore their "most hated enemy"
if the crown has 50%+ of the map (Very big danger). Instead they are
nuking the crown.
- Added `isFriendly` check to `findStrongestTeamTarget()`

### Media

## Description:

On the world map, if two teams of nations are fighting each other (left

battle involving nearly 200 warships could occur. This PR helps resolve

FloPinguin 23e4bf6725 ☢️ Nations send much better nukes now (Part 1) ☢️ (#2756)
This is a very important PR for HumansVsNations (But also for
singleplayer).
Humans will throw lots of nukes onto nations, but nations didn't do
that. Until now :)

## Refactor

- Moved all the nuking logic to the new file `NationNukeBehavior.ts`
- Moved `randTerritoryTileArray()` and `randTerritoryTile()` to the new
file `NationUtils.ts` because we need that method in multiple places now
- Because we already have an `NationUtils.ts` (It contains the method
`createNationsForGame` for HumansVsNations) I renamed the old one to
`NationCreation.ts` to avoid confusion

## Bug fixed

- `allRelationsSorted()` in `PlayerImpl` returned dead players all the
time... Which caused nations to not attack / send nukes in some cases...

## Nuke-sending features / improvements

- On hard and impossible difficulty, nations no longer make sure that
nukes will only hit inside of their targets border. This logic very
often stopped nations from throwing nukes. Now their nukes are allowed
to hit TerraNullius (=> ocean!). And in team games, it's even allowed
that their nukes hit other non-friendly players as well! This is very
important for HumansVsNations.
- The basic check for SAMs now gets skipped if we are on easy difficulty
(easy nations are not smart enough to do that)
- I improved the basic check for SAMs (medium difficulty) a bit (nations
send less nukes into SAMs)
- On hard and impossible difficulty, we now use the new method
`isTrajectoryInterceptableBySam()` to avoid SAMs completely. It's
mirroring `NukeTrajectoryPreviewLayer.ts` logic a bit.
- I added "perceived cost" to simulate nations saving up for a MIRV
(Otherwise most hard/impossible nations will spend all their gold on
nukes). But if we are in a team game (MIRVs are not relevant) or if we
already saved up for a MIRV, the "perceived cost" gets ignored.
- Updated the "most hated player" selection in `findBestNukeTarget()` to
ignore very weak players. We don't need to throw nukes at players which
we can easily steamroll by land.
- Added `findFFACrownTarget()` to nuke the crown (based on difficulty).
- Added `findStrongestTeamTarget()` to nuke the strongest team.
- Updated `randTerritoryTile()` so that it has a higher chance of
returning the tiles of a
"leftover-nuked-to-death-player-with-some-tiles-left": `if
(p.numTilesOwned() <= 100) {return
random.randElement(Array.from(p.tiles()));}`.
- Changed `const range = nukeType === UnitType.HydrogenBomb ? 60 : 15`
to `config().nukeMagnitudes(nukeType).inner`. Should make more sense.
- Adjusted `nukeTileScore()` to search for units in
`this.mg.config().nukeMagnitudes(nukeType).inner` instead of fixed 25
- Adjusted `nukeTileScore()` to account for unit levels (levels got
ignored previously). Also increased score for ports from 10_000 to
15_000.
- I made sure that nations can nuke EVERY SINGLE TILE from an enemy,
even if the enemy has no structures ("Prefer tiles that are closer to a
silo" can no longer make the `nukeTileScore()` drop too much,
`bestValue` in `maybeSendNuke()` starts at -1 now)
- In the entire nuking logic, factories were missing. Now they are
added.

## Media

Nation team vs. nation team: They are nuking the very last pixels of
red, just like humans would do it 😀

FloPinguin d321c08d92 Nations now gang up on players and prioritize traitors/AFK players 🤖 (+ other improvements) (#2730)
## Description:

- **Nations now specifically target AFK players, traitors, and players
who are already being attacked (they gang up on them).** Depends on the
difficulty.
- Added ally assistance directly to the attack order (instead of calling
it separately beforehand).
- Added ally assistance to `findBestNukeTarget`.
- Removed some checks from `findBestNukeTarget` (not necessary; better
checks will follow in a dedicated nuking PR).
- Relation updates on attack now depend on difficulty (makes Easy &
Medium nations a bit easier).
- On betrayal, every nation in the game previously received a –40
relation penalty toward the betrayer. That was too extreme, so now this
only applies only to neighbors.
- Nations send fewer alliance requests now; it felt like too many
before.
- In team games, nations may now reject alliance requests more often
(depending on difficulty).
- To ensure there are enough non-friendly players to stop the crown with
nukes, nations may now reject alliance requests if the other player has
too many alliances (on Hard and Impossible difficulty).
- Rebalanced nation emoji usage a bit.
- Nations may now send an emoji when they get MIRVed.

## Description:

Previously, nations just spammed these two rather toxic emojis: 🤡😡

They now send fewer emojis while attacking, and the clown emoji is
reserved for special cases.

They got the ability to send emojis in much more cases:

- Human did donate an ok amount
- Human did donate a lot
- Responding to emojis that they get sent from a human
- Nuke sent
- MIRV sent
- Retaliation warship sent
- Traitor tries to ally
- Threat asks for / accepts an alliance request
- Disliked human tries to ally
- Friendly human tries to ally
- They are getting attacked by very much troops
- They are getting attacked by very little troops
- Congratulating the winner
- Bragging with their crown

FloPinguin 86d1ac6c62 Nations now counter warship infestations 🚢 (#2658)
## Description:

Relevant for singleplayer and HumansVsNations: 
Humans sometimes try to flood the entire ocean with warships. The goal
is to dominate the trade and to block transport ships.

The already existing `trackTransportShipsAndRetaliate` and
`trackTradeShipsAndRetaliate` methods can't stop these large scale
infestations, the nations are completely helpless.

The new `counterWarshipInfestation` method checks if a nation is one of
the top 3 richest players (Enough money for warships) and if any enemy
(or enemy team) has accumulated more than 10 (for teams total 15)
warships, then builds a counter-warship targeting that threat.

This feature only activates on Hard or Impossible difficulty.

Thats how it can look, nations send out a warship every couple of
seconds, until the infestation threat is gone:

FloPinguin 6afaf932a5 Make easy and medium nations less aggressive 📊 (#2671)
## Description:

1. Players complained that they have problems allying with nations in
the earlygame. So I added an `isEarlygame()` check to
`AllianceBehavior`. This should make the easier difficulties much easier
:)

2. The attack order of nations now depends on the difficulty. Easy and
medium nations got dumbed down, they now take nuked territory before
retaliating against attacks again.

3. The attack rate now depends on the difficulty. Easy nations are
reacting slower than impossible nations (to make sure the number of sent
alliance requests stays the same I removed the difficulty check in
`maybeSendAllianceRequests()`).

4. On easy and medium difficulty nations will sometimes just skip an
attack if the enemy is a human (`shouldAttack()`). But this did not
apply for the nuking logic. Now it does, which makes the easier
difficulties a bit easier.

5. I tuned the `getBotAttackMaxParallelism()` method a bit. The nations
are doing a bit less parallel bot attacks now, which makes the easier
difficulties a bit easier.

6. The settings in MIRVBehavior now depend on the difficulty. On easy
difficulty, nations will only send MIRVs very rarely.

7. Unrelated MIRVBehavior Cleanup: There was a 2 second cooldown and
cache logic. But it was completely useless because `considerMIRV()` is
only called every 4-8 seconds by NationExecution. So I removed it.

8. Unrelated little cleanup: I made a couple of methods `private`

FloPinguin af1e05961c Cleanup nations (Part 2) 🧹 (#2647)
## Description:

1. Moved the currently very small betrayal logic from `AiAttackBehavior`
to `NationAllianceBehavior` because it makes more sense to have it
there.

3. Very small bugfix in `AiAttackBehavior::shouldAttack()`: the numbers
in the two `random.chance` calls were the wrong way round.

4. `NationExecution` was quite big and a lot of it was about MIRVs. So I
moved all the MIRV logic to the new `NationMIRVBehavior`.

5. `emoji()` and `maybeSendEmoji()` did not really fit in
`AiAttackBehavior`. So I moved it to the new `NationEmojiBehavior` (and
did some renaming for clarity). I'm planning to extend that class in a
future PR.

2. Reordered methods in `AiAttackBehavior` to easily find related
methods.
6. Reordered methods in `NationExecution` to easily find related
methods.

FloPinguin 4d5bb7a835 Cleanup nations (Part 1) 🧹 (#2637)
## Description:

1. Using the wording `"Nation"`, `"FakeHuman"` and `"NPC"` at the same
time is confusing.
So I renamed every mention of `"FakeHuman"` and `"NPC"` in the entire
project to `"Nation"`. Just like they are called ingame.

2. `BotBehavior.ts` was originally intended for sharing the logic
between nations and bots.
But at the moment, the logic there isn't really shared and it's
basically just about attacking.
So I renamed `BotBehavior.ts` to `AiAttackBehavior.ts`. I use "Ai" to
indicate that this file is used by bots AND nations.

3. Moved `execuction/utils/AllianceBehavior.ts` to
`execuction/nation/NationAllianceBehavior.ts` to make sure everybody
understands that this file is not about alliances in general. It's just
about nations and how they handle alliances.

4. Removed `difficultyModifier` from `DefaultConfig`. It's unused and I
think we usually want to finetune the difficulty instead of using that
method.

5. Added `assertNever` in all `switch (difficulty)` default cases.

evanpelle 136cfa1316 improve nation ai (#2172)
## Description:

1. Create forceSendAttack function so nations expand faster at the start
(their reserve troop ratio was too low, causing them to skip the first
attack
2. modify the perceived cost modifier to reduce the number of defense
posts built.
3. Updated how random land is selected to avoid player.tiles() since
that can be millions of entries.
4. Improve performance of valueFunction by using closestTile and
reducing the number of tiles checked.
5. Nations now launch hydros if they have enough gold.
6. used boundBox instead of bfs because doing a large bfs for h-bombs
can get expensive.
7. Modified perceived multiplayer to remove cap and scale super-linearly
to discourage nations from spamming too many building. Instead they are
more likely to spend that money on nukes.
