==Additional Information==

Wesnoth has time of day cycles (...-day-day-dusk-night-night-morning-... ), with certain times of day heavily favoring units depending on their alignment. Moreover, new units are constantly trained - so, sometimes the best decision would be to defend and wait or fall back, other times the best decision would be to attack (e.g. with the aim of holding a strategic village until morning, and counter-attacking during morning and day, then falling back with dusk). The AI should learn to adapt its strategy depending on the balance of forces and the current time of day.
