1 year ago Note: the problem with the existing (live) solution is if the combat list is empty, the first combatant added to the list is then excluded from subsequent re-ordering, to include when their opponent is added to the list. This means they will get to act before their opponent, regardless of their opponent's initiative.
This solution to the problem of arbitrary time until next global initiative reroll uses a limiting int, initiative_until_global_reroll. Its value is set by the initiative of the first combatant added to an empty combat_list, or by the highest initiative of a global init reroll. It is then reduced by 10 at the completion of each pass, and causes a global init reroll when <= 0.
