It's funny to me that people are suggesting usual build orders to take advantage of that unit control. The whole point is that having unit control like this completely redefines the dynamics of the game. Air units become a lot more powerful, or speedy units in general. The subsequent AIs after the first generation ones at the tournament will incorporate the new AI metagame dynamics and games will look nothing like pro matches. To reiterate a previous post, who is the AI team? I don't mind dying to find out. : ) | ||

If Muta in range, attack -else identify closest muta, walk toward closest muta. (this part is tricky, because if they're abusing -cliff, you may not be able to find a way to click past a muta for ideal pathing.) An optimized "groupthink" Ai, however would be much more difficult, as there would then have to be a fast weighting calculation between nearest muta and nearest archon... A preliminary algorithm using a simple "recentering" weighting algorithm using nearest neighbor would be something like: If muta in range, attack --else, ----identify closest friendly archon, weight of -Weight* vector difference. Ideal muta to pursue is the ----muta with the closest "weighted" distance after subtracting the vector difference of the friendly archon. ----I.e. Archon is at (5,3) from current location. A muta is at (2,2) from current location would have a ----new weight value of (2-W*5,2-W*3). In essence the "distance" is from a point W* 100% between the current archon and its nearest neighbor. ----Pursue said muta. EDIT: The "groupthink" algorithm is too heavy for 35000 APM performance.

If they come straight at you when you go back to attack they will meet you when your CD is not over, thus fucking you over because you gotta retreat and waste more time. Of course I could make it the worst everytime and ASSUME they will come straight at me, that will improve it by a very small margin though. So on that note, it appears that the units prioritize their own safety above dealing damage. Does that mean they can be cornered? If so, do they bother counterattacking or just continue fleeing? Do they find a default waypoint to escape to and just sustain minor damage? Great example videos, by the way. Looks like things are shaping up nicely. | ||

I know I've heard it alot and im sure its quite famous, but i just can't put my finger on it. If someone could tell me that would be really appreciated =P ty I think it was on Cowboy Bebop? | ||

Of course I could make it the worst everytime and ASSUME they will come straight at me, that will improve it by a very small margin though. Well... One way around this is not to assume they will come straight at you but to assume that they will continue moving the direction they are currently moving. (which, for now is pretty safe.) To do this, use: virtual double getAngle() const = 0; virtual double getVelocityX() const = 0; virtual double getVelocityY() const = 0; They're in the unit.h spec, but I don't know if it's implemented yet. | ||

From a programmers standpoint that would be really easy to make right? Compared to having 12 wraiths vs. 48 hydras it should be simple for these guys.  | ||
