The "whole game" videos suggests the AI designs aren't robust and can get confused at times...... I wonder what kind of decision tree structure is being used...

Those new videos are sweet. It's pretty clear that the AI needs some major work though. For instance, the mine placement is horrendous. I kept expecting catastrophic tank explosions. SCVs seem to be pulled at the oddest times as well. Most of the attacks could have been held off without SCVs helping, and other times, they just kinda wander into the line of fire and do nothing.

I found the reliance on mnm kinda strange. Has mech just not been implemented yet, or does the AI really perform better with mnm?

Yeah, the only full game I've watched is the TvZ and it blew my mind. I can't imagine the final product of all these projects.

Is there anything in the AI that can establish an opponents tech path and build to counter it?

It seems so far that if they're being countered, they'll just keep going the same tech path.

Looks pretty awesome. Hope to be able to play vs a really good ai one day. Too bad I dont have any programming skills, otherwise I would make a basic hunters zerg and protoss ai. Mindless buildorder plays (normal bw ai) goes pretty far when it comes to practise there.

A normal (fastest) speed video versus a C ranked Zerg

I'm expecting the results of the competition to lead to commentary worthy VODs

+ Show Spoiler +

The bot loses, obviously. I was just impressed it lasted 11 minutes.

Right now the EISBot uses a fixed strategy, where certain tech buildings are built at specific supply timings. Also, the placing of mines if completely reactive, based on detecting an enemy. So once an enemy is in the range of a vulture, the vulture will plant mines and then flee. Tanks have a similar behavior and will siege as soon as an enemy is in range and unsiege once an enemy is no longer in range. So this explains why the bot is still predictable.

My long term plans are to have the bot learn from mining replays of professional players. The bot will select a standard build given the map and match up and then adapt to the opponent based on actions that professional players have taken. Right now this is completely theoretical (I'm a PhD student), but I expect to advance the field of game AI.

That explains why the bot fell apart to Mutalisks. If the C player didn't know it was a bot I would guess he was very suprised that a player that defended that well to his attack couldn't deal with Mutalisks.

I wish you luck. Developing an AI that plays like a skilled human is a much harder (and more interesting?) problem than simply producing a competitive AI.

Its seems like the bots have some serious flaws in their play from what I have seen...

They don't adapt at all, and they also have no concept of positioning either building or unitwise.

Otherwise the micro ones are incredible even though they also seem to have some problems in prioritizing.
Can you ever argue in favor of something without first proving it?

I'm not sure this is a good plan, since the capacities of a human and a computer is very different. Look at successful chess programs for example, the way a computer plays is very different from that of a human, with different kind of strength and weaknesses. I don't think trying to emulate a human would result in a strong opponent or really advance the field of research that is AI. (since it is probably end up as some decision tree sort type of thing with a lot handcrafting given resource and time constrains)

I think the best way to build a strong game AI in starcraft is to first divide the game up into sub problems (eg. muta vs marines), attempt to figure out which ones can be solved and design AI build orders in things that is good in while avoiding those that it can not cope with.

Build orders are often the major weakness of human players. However for a computer, even something as basic as getting units unjammed or coping with a lone guardian shooting at your CC will take work, let alone things like avoiding a flank. AI is very very stupid and the simplest things to a human is hard in an AI.

Not sure if this one was posted before, Elsbot vs a D- player (horrible D- player)

The comment at the end is just too hilarious.

You should make 2port wraith the standard build for TvZ, because it most likely is the most powerful in the hands of a good AI.

(and it will make for some sick sick replays.. imagine wraith micro at 5 differerent places at once)
