Find Peril Most Unit (00198b04)

Description: Scores allied units based on their missing HP, status, distance, etc., then formulates a score for them. Status Scores do not accumulate. The routine only checks for one. The unit with the highest score gets returned to the routine. Status Priority goes as: Dead > Dead w/ Reraise = Critical > Blood Suck > Petrify > Confuse > Frog > Low HP > Critical HP It has two formulas, one for statused units and a "non-critical" formula. This routine hard caps AI Range, or target acquisition, to 7. This is why the game ignores downed units across the map, for better or worse. It also has a peril minimum, which is some explanation of why the AI seems averse to status curing at times. Also note the AI will not even give the unit with the most usable abilities a peril score unless it has a status. This is actually good for the most part because statuses include Critical and Low HP (>50% HP). This routine also accounts for Ramza (0x03 in the ENTD) and gives him a bonus score

Ideas to improve this routine: Rearrange the status priorities, removing Dead w/ Reraise. Remove the distance cap (Ideal)Make it aware of the death countdown timer and prioritizing based on that.
