Table 1

Parameter space.

Parameter	Value	Description
𝑊	800	Static distance threshold to differentiate between a player in battle or out of battle
𝑘	0.4	Coefficient used in (14) to determine how much smaller we scale the strength of the friendly team
𝑢	200	Maximum distance a player will aim to run towards or away from the friend epicenter depending on how strong each team is
𝑙	0.1	Coefficient used to modify 𝑚 (introduced below and defined in Nomenclature) so that it is in the correct range
𝑅	60	Upper bound on 𝑚 that ensures that there is always some transition that occurs from the old velocity 𝑉^→0 to the new velocity
𝑞	0.5	Sets how much of each follow and bravery velocity is used to create the resultant movement velocity if in battle
𝑟	0.6	Sets how much of each follow and alignment velocity is used to create the resultant movement velocity if out of battle
ℎ	40	Threshold angle used to determine the angle above which the change in velocity needs to be before a change in direction is registered
𝑥	350	Minimum threshold of lag below which the EKB method is always used
