News from the SSCAIT server.

New bot: GarmBot, by Aurélien Lermant. Welcome!
+ Show Spoiler +

[image loading]
Another day, another zvz. (notice the minimap)

[image loading]
22 drone 4 hatch 10 wtf ??? Good thing 1 hatch is gone...

[image loading]
and the main

[image loading]
99 yellow subzerlingballons (who saw the nest in the previous shot?)

[image loading]
One small village!

[image loading]
22 4hatch into 1base more queens?

[image loading]
Mattsson long distance mining op threatened.

[image loading]
New natural shut down.

[image loading]
How many queens do you spot? Tip: what are those green dots on the minimap? Oh and the BP Mattsson main got killed while his lings were away. GG!

After being uploaded only a couple of days ago, his winrate is about 50% already. This was a typical GarmBot game: expand all over the place on about 20 drones, then send lings and hydras (and as of today queens with broodling) from any expansion not taken by the enemy. Usually, the enemy army of about 150 supply is out in the middle, or killing off expansions 1 by one, with no-one at home. So the main gets killed. Naturally this is highly effective, as well as entertaining. A new zerg, which doesn't 5pool, but plays hide, seek and backstab. I'll be watching this one ^^


tscmoo vs odin2014
+ Show Spoiler +
Our friendly neighbourhood zerg vs a zealot all-inner.

[image loading]
Walling off at the 5 min mark, good or bad?

[image loading]
Rokuro-ga! (Lurkers)

[image loading]
Will they be in time?

[image loading]
Lurkers out in the open...

[image loading]
but none at home!

[image loading]
Finally, but the natural has to be rebuilt.

[image loading]
1 base lurker play, in 2015? Only at SSCAIT.

[image loading]
Is 5 lurkers enough to stop the zealot train?

[image loading]
Not if there is an observer (which you can't see (because it is cloaked)). Retreat!

[image loading]
Zealots at the natural! They're coming through!

[image loading]
Help!

[image loading]
Counter-poke at the 3rd

[image loading]
and the nat

[image loading]
and the 4th.

[image loading]
Look what's on top of the nexus!

[image loading]
And the defilers are marching in. GG!

Truth be told, Odin2014 isn't just zealots. Ok it makes a lot. But there were reavers, observers and templars (didn't manange to screenshot one storming a lurker ). Good fight, but in the end tscmoo was too good. No shame though, it's a monster.


GarmBot vs Rafal Poniatowski

After Rafal killed GarmBot's natural, he couldn't get his army up the main ramp because of all the harassment. Then it turned into 10 vs 2 base, with a rather unusual unit composition.

[image loading]
Count the queens!

[image loading]
Queens.

[image loading]
Queens!

More SCVs died to spawn broodling than to anything else.

interesting!

Just curious, are there like 8 rax bunker rush AIs or 9/9 gate protoss AI? If so, how can I play against them and practice my anti-cheeeese defense?

Interesting. I'd expect success against other Zerg AIs, as almost all of them seemed to have no coding beyond zergling rush at the last tournament, but 50% win rate including other match-ups too? Looks like proper scouting code is not yet common.

These battle reports are cool, and that is a pretty nice strategy. Looking forward to more

Maybe I get into this when we need to develop some software next semester.

That ling horde O.O

What did the queens do exactly? Also, how does it survive 5 pool/9/9 gate/BBS rush AI?

ninazerg/JieXian: here is a list of bots you can download. You need BWAPI to play against them. Bit of reading and fiddling, but well worth it. For terran cheese try LetaBot. 5pool bot here.

Hesmyrr: GarmBot does ok vs all matchups, but that is because, as you say, not all bots have proper scouting and/or acting on scouting info. To say good scouting isn't common would be a stretch, I'd say 50% of the bots have good scouting.

c3rberUs: Please do get into this, it's great fun (and good for your 1337 skillz). Lots of stuff here, it's a new website with all the links on the front page, but for a start you'll be set

The queens do spawn broodling, but it isn't really an effective strategy, as queens can't consume. Still, given time, queen/hydra/ling will kill stuff :p

LetaBot has several rush and 1 base timing push strategies. The version on SSCAI and the DLL on the AIIDE don't have all of them yet. These strategies are also mainly designed for use against other bots, so don't expect my bot to try and hide the fact that it is bunker rushing (not a problem if you only want to use it for practise against a rush ofc).
If you cannot win with 100 apm, win with 100 cpm.
