Summary​

AI Counts can request gold from HoF more frequently than AI Dukes

Description​

According to game code, AI Counts and Dukes are discouraged from asking HoF for gold unless the latter has at least 3000 gold. However, there's a typo that prevents said feature from applying to Counts correctly. This is an issue I found through game code, so I'm going to refer to it below.

Steps to reproduce​

1. Find the code for Ask for Gold decision (hof_ask_for_gold_interaction).

2. Notice how "ai_potential" (the list of conditions for AI to begin considering using this decision at all) has the following text in it: "highest_held_title_tier > tier_barony". Meaning, only Counts, Dukes, Kings and Emperors can request gold, but not Barons.

3. Look at the following lines of code in "ai_will_do" (affects the odds of AI selecting this decision):

modifier = { # Counts get a bad 'exchange rate' due to their low income.
highest_held_title_tier < tier_county
scope:recipient.gold < 3000
add = -50
}
modifier = { # Dukes are also somewhat reluctant to request gold if not independent.
highest_held_title_tier = tier_duchy
is_independent_ruler = no
scope:recipient.gold < 3000
add = -25
}

As we can see, "highest_held_title_tier < tier_county" should be replaced with "highest_held_title_tier = tier_county" for the code to work correctly. The bug is clearly there as Barons are not allowed to request gold, so using "<" doesn't make sense at all.
