AI Tournament #1

Welcome to the first AI tournament at WC3Campaigns.

What is the idea? easy, just build an melee AI for one of the standard races using the AI editor, submit it here, and that's all. If you have doubts about how to develop an AI with the AI editor, you can post your questions in this thread. If you want to test a melee strategy, you can do it here.

Rules.

1. In order to qualify, you must define the AI race and the AI name in this thread.
2. The AI must be done only with the AI editor (only *.wai files are allowed)
3. Only one AI can be submitted.
4. Only standard races are allowed.
5. The AI must be for this event, you can't use old AIs posted in other sites.

Tournament development.

• The contestants will have 1 month since today (22/04/2007) to define and develop the AI.
• The wai file must be submitted in the pastebin putting as a thread name "[AI contest]Your name".
• The groups will be arranged in pairs randomly
• Each pair will play a 1v1 game in 5 different maps.
• The AI which win more games, will pass to the next round
• This will be done until we get the first, second and third best AI

I'll be pending of your submissions. Good luck :)


*: my AI won't enter to the contest if the number of contestants is even.

Below, Those are the maps that I'm going to use for testing, with a small modification in triggers so we can save replays without problems. You can use them for test.

First!

And I plan on participating if I have the time.

Ok im in as promised
How do we submit it?

-Av3n

I'm in!

I think i'll be in too, if i got enough time and don't forget it

Ohh yes...

They will be submitted in the pastebin putting as a thread name "[AI contest]Your name".

I'll add this to the first post.

AI Tournament #2 will be the AIs competing with eachother kk?

Oh nvm, didn't read. :p

According to the success of this contest, the next competition would be with two AIs, for battles 2v2.

Ok, this is my AI entry idea:

Race: Night Elf
Name race: Deadly Arrow

What can I say of this strategy: It's an AI adept to ranged attack.

I can't believe I actually blasted an hour this morning trying to make an AI.
Mine is night elf with a focus on isolating, surrounding, and conquering the foe.

We'll see how it goes, having to use this blasted editor makes me reminisce on my oh-so-hated days of GUI.
Notably, I named my AI after myself since I'm sure many people on these forums would enjoy the opportunity to kick my ass. :P

So these are do mid may eh? We cant jass it! *cries* but then how will my ai adapt base on my enemies race... certain strats are against certain races only...

I honest to God think a month is a retarded amount of time to wait.
Mine's almost done already and I've put maybe 3 hours time into it.

I say give it 2 weeks tops, but that's me.

It cant beat my ai...

ya this looks interesting and I've wanted to explore AI so this makes a good excuse, but a month is a bit long. I'd just end up waiting 2 weeks or forgetting about it.

So upload a WIP and I'll battle them out.
The more practice it gets the better.
