The question I pose myself is:
Do Warlighters dominate the competition because we have more experience and know every possible situation by heart, or is it because we spend more time watching games and coding than the others?
I for one hardly play WL anymore since the competition, it has replaced WL for now and takes up those idle hours where I used to play.
A real interesting warlight AI challenge should involve many different maps and random wastelands.
Yes that would be awesome. Maybe the guys from theaigames are up for hosting another one at some point in the future (not right away though, I need a break :D ), else we can probably set something up ourselves. The engine is there.
By the way, the total number of map-specific routines in my bot, including starting picks: 0
