By the way, here's another sample problem. I will name it "Abysia".

INPUT:

code:

---

resourcetypes=3

resource=gold quantity=245 value=-1

resource=res  quantity=158 value=0

resource=holy quantity=4   value=6

 



unittypes=5

unitname=humanbred   gold=15  res=11 holy=0 value=29

unitname=battleaxe   gold=20  res=27 holy=0 value=53

unitname=morningstar gold=20  res=30 holy=0 value=58

unitname=salamander  gold=70  res=1  holy=0 value=42

unitname=lavawarrior gold=55  res=30 holy=1 value=91

---

(oops! original input had unittypes=4.
And on second thought, I added more resources to make it more interesting... reflecting, say, turn 5, when you're draining resources from the adjacent mountains.)

And yes, the values are numbers I made up. Perhaps I'll put in the combat sim numbers...

It's interesting to note that for a problem like this - if the solver supports unlimited resource types - you can add another resource, "magic". Salamanders would have a magic cost of 1, and magic would have a resource value of -8, so that the cost of magic leadership would be factored into the equation. The -8 comes from the fact that a beast trainer costs 80 gold and has magic leadership of 10, and the quantity of magic would be 10, because you can only produce one beast trainer per turn (this makes the assumption that beast trainers are the best magical leader).
