[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.have enough energy to complete given quest 
2.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I think r856 should fix the quest thrashing. It was a side effect of r850/r851, 
but a stronger fix still for the future would be sorting by more keys when 
choosing the best quest, so that the storage order wouldn't have any impact on 
which quest was picked first.

r856 stopped the looping but didnt fix it completely. now it is doing quests 
but im  not sure which ones. definitely not the one shown on the dashboard 
which still shows 0% after quests were done.

Hmm, any indication as to what it is doing in the error logs or the Quest 
dashboard? I didn't change the picking logic, just the storage. At one point 
there was looping caused by two quests with similar names that would never 
complete properly. The switch to IDs allows quests to have the same name and 
not confuse Golem.

Crossing the Chasm - id 7 - Land of Earth (main quest)
Crossing the Chasm - id 243 - Kingdom of Heaven (2nd sub-quest of Power of 
Excalibur)

Prepare for Battle - id 108 - Demon Realm (1st sub-quest of The Belly of the 
Demon)
Prepare for Battle - id 143 - Demi Quests: Malekus (2nd sub-quest of Blood Wing 
King of the Dragons)

dashboard shows "Quest: Undead Realm: Equip Soldiers ( [Energy] 22 = [Exp] 30 + 
[Gold] $1.5 M @ [Influence] 0%)"

Ill have to wait for enough energy to see which quest it is actually choosing 
and possibly catch any errors that may occur...

ok so here's the log:

golem/Rycochet's Castle Age Golem: [r856] [12:22:51 AM] Quest: Navigating to 
http://apps.facebook.com/castle_age/quests.php?land=6
golem/Rycochet's Castle Age Golem: [r856] [12:22:57 AM] Quest: Performing - 
Equip Soldiers (energy: 22)
golem/Rycochet's Castle Age Golem: [r856] [12:23:02 AM] Quest: Performing - 
Equip Soldiers (energy: 22)
golem/Rycochet's Castle Age Golem: [r856] [12:23:04 AM] Quest: Wanting to 
perform - The Smouldering Pit in Land of Water (energy: 24, experience: 26, 
gold: $1.8 M)

so it must be doing The smouldering pit instead of equip soldiers, but I dont 
get influence on that one either because equip is a subquest so sano is chosen 
while smouldering requires elizabeth lione...

Is this still happening? Some of the recent changes may have helped resolve 
Quest thrashing and bad picks on quests that weren't able to be advanced due to 
missing requirements.

Its not happening anymore for me but not necessarily because of a fix, I have 
full influence on those quests now.
