Enum Class CombatPosture

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<CombatPosture>

megamek.client.bot.princess.CombatPosture

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<CombatPosture>, Constable

public enum CombatPosture
extends Enum<CombatPosture>

Whether the bot's force is attacking or defending.

Terrain obstacles - deep water above all - mean opposite things to the two postures, and no single cost tuning produces both behaviors. An attacker treats a river as a cost on the way to the objective: it picks a crossing, pays the risk, and seizes the far bank. A defender treats the same river as its best weapon: it never crosses, holds positions covering the crossing points, and takes the fight to the enemy while the enemy is slowed, split up, and half-disarmed in the water. A bot that prices water one way plays one of those roles well and the other one badly.

AUTO leaves the call to the bot, which reads it from what it already knows each round - whether it has somewhere to go, and whether the enemy is coming to it. See PostureResolver.
