Return of the Aztecs - Arabia 2008
Posted Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 10:26am by ScottTagged: ai-scripting
The Arabia 2008 AI tournament (for Age of Empires II) has now come and gone again with perhaps the largest number of entries for quite some time :) I abandoned my Teuton script, opting to start from fresh with the Mayans. Although the main tourney has been finished for a few weeks now, an unofficial round-robin play-off has been going for the top 5 scripts - all of which finished within a few points of each other.
In the primary tournament, I finished equal 14th with one other scripter which was a little lower than I had hoped however I was a little hard done by with the draw by facing 3 primarily flushing AI's which is one area where my script was still a little weak, however I won the other 2 rounds (albeit against newer scripters than myself). One or two of the games that I lost were fairly close though whereby I eventually lost since I wasn't able to train units fast enough. At the end of the day I at least now know the weaknesses I need to work on between now and the end of the year.
As for the tourney winners, VNS_Caesar (Aztec) won the play-off so congrats to VNS_Caesar as well as all the other scripters for joining :)
