I put together a video of highlights from state of the art broodwar AI programs which competed in tournaments this fall. The footage in this video is taken from the 2011 AIIDE StarCraft Competition. I thought people might like to see some of the bigger battles and more interesting scenarios that took place.



I won't be talking about the tournament itself in this thread, moreso just the video and aspects of the AIs that people are interested in. For all tournament specific info (including results) go to the tournament thread

I have to admit that its very very interesting. Not only becouse of the Ai itslef, but also the fact they are doing it on the bw scene.
Its been forver my favorite game, so anything that is good for bw, is something i will enjoy.

Hmm, few things I guess.

The PvPs were fairly impressive with their dragoon micro, given that dragoon micro, I have to say I was pretty disappointed by the vulture micro of the terran AIs. They ran way 2 far after every hit on a zealot and got trapped and stuff.
I wasn't sure what the significance of the sunk break by zealots was?
The TvT towards the end with teal slowpushing was quite impressive, classic TvT really.

The zerglings always running back to kill that pylon being built, was this a flaw in the yellow AI, or was the protoss AI actually abusing this flaw to keep the zerglings busy?

While there was some sweet micro being showed, I do have to say that the best unit in BW, the probe, took the crown. Beat a 4 pool by killing 3/4 drones with the scout probe, I don't think you can be any more baller than that.

Going to have to agree with that. Although I think I would just quit BW forever if that happened to me. >.<

I think what the thing thing with the zerglings going after the pylon was that zerglings were programmed to prioritize pylons>undefended nexii>whatever else. Of course, the protoss AI is programmed to keep buildings powered, so that happens.

Haha, I was surprised to see my University was in this (University of Alberta) because I didn't know.

Then I was disappointed by constant 4 pools, haha. :p

suspicious lack of Zerg AI O_o

Also why no Reavers for Protoss AI? Protoss AI was still very impressive w/ Goon/Zealot only tho

And I felt Terran was rather lacking lol ..

It didn't get shown on the video, but the zealots essentially 'remembered' where the sunkens were and how many of them they had. The zealots arrived one-by-one outside the base and waited until it thought it had enough to break the contain, which it did. This sort of calculation is non-trivial to do mathematically.

Skynet used reavers to great effect in the late game. Terran was indeed under represented
