Testing with the Stargate map
Wow, I installed this map last night and played a bunch of games with it. It's near perfect for a test bench for what I want my bot to be able to do well. It's balanced, it has lots of strategic points, and Reaper absolutely crushes on it. In fact, watching Reaper cut through the AI compeitition game after game (I used BotOfDoom, Nefarious, Sparrow, Brainiac, and Killbot for opposition) gave me an entirely new level of respect for how well it plays. Time and again I would think it was going to get overrun due to a lack of taking and holding a continent when it was early and easilly defendable but then it would just sneak in from behind and assassinate the other players one by one. It was fascinating.
Anyway, if you haven't looked at that map I highly reccomend it.

Re: Testing with the Stargate map
Thanks for the praise everyone. This thread made my day.
Deciding between going for the kill or going for continents is one of the most critical decisions an AI has to take. Choosing to take over continents will make you a less efficient killer, and vice-versa. It all depends on the settings (card progression, continent bonus increase, map size), the phase of the game (begin, middle, end), and how the AI is doing against the other players.varoadstter wrote:Time and again I would think it was going to get overrun due to a lack of taking and holding a continent when it was early and easilly defendable but then it would just sneak in from behind and assassinate the other players one by one.
