# AI Quest Completion Behavior

This document describes which quests the AI attempts to complete proactively to recruit unaffiliated heroes.

## Overview

The AI attempts to complete most quests via `FulfillQuestsCommandSelector`, which is invoked by `MidGameAIClient.chosenFulfillEasyQuestsCommand`.

Important scope limits:

- The selector only considers quests from unaffiliated heroes in provinces owned by the acting faction.
- It further filters to provinces ruled by that faction's leader.
- It only emits a command when the corresponding command is currently available.
- Handler order is fixed. The first handler that produces a valid command wins.

## Quests the AI Actively Completes

This section lists quests with direct `QuestCommandChooser` handlers in `FulfillQuestsCommandSelector`.

### Diplomacy Quests

| `BattalionDiversityQuest` | `BattalionDiversityQuestCommandChooser` | Hires one battalion of a missing type to reach 3+ distinct types. Only attempts if the province already has 2+ existing types, has sufficient development (`meetsRequirements`), and gold/food surplus. |
| `UpgradeBattalionQuest` | `UpgradeBattalionQuestCommandChooser` | Walks a priority tree per turn: arm-completes (with optional Visit Town and/or food sale setup) → train-completes → march in a pre-qualified neighbor battalion → organize/top-off of the target type → march in an unqualified neighbor battalion → develop Economy/Agriculture → train progress → develop Infrastructure → arm progress. Only chooses Visit Town when it directly enables an arm-completes finisher. |

## Quests the AI Handles Indirectly

These are not in `FulfillQuestsCommandSelector`, but other AI command-selection code can still bias toward completing them.

| Quest | Handler | Notes |
|-------|---------|-------|
| `SuppressRiotByForceQuest` | `CommandChoiceHelpers.handleRiotSelectedCommand` | When this quest exists and the faction has battalions, the AI prefers CrackDown over Give when handling riots. |

## Quests the AI Does Not Yet Attempt to Complete

The following quests have no handler and must be completed naturally through gameplay. They are listed in rough priority order for future implementation.

### Planned for Implementation

None currently planned.

### Not Planned

These quests are too situational, passive, or risky to actively pursue. They may be completed naturally through gameplay.

- `BorderSecurityQuest` - Have troops in a border province. Involves taking provinces; better left to organic expansion.
- `DefeatFactionQuest` - Defeat a specific faction. Too risky to pursue proactively.
- `SpecificExpansionQuest` - Conquer a specific province. Too risky.
- `ExpandToProvincesQuest` - Expand to control a certain number of provinces. Too risky.
- `WinBattleOutnumberedQuest` - Win a battle while outnumbered. Can't reliably engineer.
- `WinBattlesQuest` - Win a number of battles. Passive.
- `RescueImprisonedLeaderQuest` - Rescue an imprisoned leader. Complex multi-step.
- `WealthQuest` - Accumulate gold and food. Happens passively.
- `RepairDevastationQuest` - Repair devastation. Happens passively.

## Implementation Details

The quest completion logic is located in:
- `FulfillQuestsCommandSelector.scala` - Main entry point, iterates through choosers
- `quest_command_selectors/` - Individual quest handlers

Each chooser extends either:
- `QuestCommandChooser` - For quests requiring randomness
- `DeterministicQuestCommandChooser` - For quests with deterministic command selection

The AI prioritizes quests in the order they appear in `FulfillQuestsCommandSelector.choosers`:
1. TruceWithFaction
2. Improve (Agriculture/Economy/Infrastructure)
3. TotalDevelopment
4. AlmsToProvince
5. GiveToHeroesInProvince
6. AlmsAcrossRealm
7. GiveToHeroesAcrossRealm
8. TruceCount
9. DismissSpecificVassal
10. ReleasePrisoner
11. ExilePrisoner
12. ExecutePrisoner
13. ReturnPrisoner
14. ReleaseAllPrisoners
15. ApprehendOutlaw
16. SpendOnFeastsInProvince / SpendOnFeastsAcrossRealm
17. RestProvince
18. DevelopProvinces
19. MobilizeProvinces
20. SendSupplies
21. StartEpidemic
22. ControlWeather (StartBlizzard/StartDrought)
23. GrandArmy
24. FightBeastsAlone
25. BattalionDiversity
26. UpgradeBattalion
27. ReconSpecificProvinces
28. ReconProvinces
29. SwearBrotherhood
30. Alliance
31. BetrayAlly
