I don't know if my rnd generator is perfect or not, but you can have a look at it, as it's in my usual include files.

If it's not 16x16 i use PPaint to resize to 16x16 and that's all. If after that the gfx looks terrible then i alter it or i simply don't take it.

In reality all units are somewhat stupid, or they wouldn't be military units

Get backup ? Monsters can't escape a group of adventurers, so better have it.

You're not supposed to know HP of units, especially if these are adventurers (as should be in my game).

You take out what you can take ! When a wizard summons something, he's in the rear ranks, not in the front (or the player is stupid), so adding anything in ai code for that isn't useful.
