AI tournament 2... strikes back

As promised, AI tournament #2 has started again.

For the newcomers, the idea is to build a 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 done for this event, you can't use old AIs posted in other sites.

Tournament development.

• The contestants will have 15 days since today (19/12/2007) to define and develop the AI.
• The wai file must be submitted in the pastebin putting as a thread name "[AI contest2]Your name".
• We'll use the game scores to define the winner.
• Only ONE game will be played.
• We'll select the map that we'll use for this tournament.
• We'll modify the selected map in such way that it can store the AIs, a script that controls the score and will detect iff the game has a winner so it can automatically end the game. This script could be done in GUI so any people can see how is it and ensure contest transparency.

Who will win?? The three AI with more score.

About the table:

• This table will be used to define the games, save the scores and define who will make the replay.
  
• Obviously, the diagonal is not allowed, so we won't have me vs me.
  
• The Tournament would start with emeraldemon vs me, the winner of the game will be inserted in the upper half of the table with the game score and the loser will be put in the lower half of the table. As an example, let's say emeraldemon wins, so the table will be filled in this way:

• Who will do the replay?? the next to the right, in this case, TheSecretarts. And if Emeraldemon is playing against Rising_Dusk, then I will do the replay.
  
• It doesn't matter if you win or lose, the scores will be added to the total.

Awards.

• 30 rep for the first place
• 20 rep for the second place
• 10 rep for the third place.

Deadline: January 7th 2008


So let's start doing AIs!!!

Im participating

-Av3n

Same As Above

-The_Elite (i only wrote -The_Elite to mock Av3n, stop bloody signing your posts!!!)

I'm in too, was already waiting long enough for a 2nd AI Contest.

Race: Uhm ..., well i think human last time i got undead ^^
Name: No idea atm

Does this mean that AIs based off of a previously made AI can't be used?

you can base it on other AIs made by you, and /or can be an improvement of any AI made by you, but you can't use any pre made AI, that's the idea.

what if i made it for the last Ai tourny but never submitted it, can i use that?

We require an AI made by you in the timeframe indicated.

Ai Name: Brute Force
Ai Race: Orc

-Av3n

You can count me in-- I just need to get my old and improved AI over to my new and improved computer.

What happened to the whole 2v2 idea by any chance?

It got chucked into the bin because WE in built AI editor is crappy na dhad to be built with JASS

-Av3n

I managed to make a working AI for 2v2s. It was the same AI and the whole thing was that it didnt work with the other one, unless of course, by coincidence. Moyack, if you would like to take a look, I suppose for the next contest, it will be my submission once I retrieve it off of my old computer.

I presume you avoid completely the "Common Alliance target" target priority in both AIs.

If you want, you can PM those AIs so I can check how they play. If it works properly.... then I'll think about it.

Ok, I've been thinking if we have to extend the deadline, because this contest started when WC3C was a little bit inactive. I'll expect your opinions.

I couldn't access this site until 3 days ago, and I would very much like to participate.
