The AI has been improved to use Wait and Defense.
However, we only use simple conditions for now, in case battles get too long.
We'll tweak this further as we get more feedback.

We tested the proposal to make enemy positions invisible during initial deployment, but surprisingly it had little effect on the difficulty of the game.
Not being able to see the enemy's location caused us to deploy troops conservatively, which only delayed the start of the full-scale conflict and led to a sharp increase in combat fatigue.
The source code remains, so I'll test it again later if I think of a way to make it better :)
We're currently making a number of balance adjustments to the game, but these updates are a mix of adjustments made for The World's Ceil update, so we haven't done a thorough calculation of what we're balancing.
