I'm uploading a video on Strategy 0.13 VS. Humanik V1.0.0, it should be available on youtube in 2 hours or so XD.

xie860621,thanks for recommending  , I'll look into it when I have time, will reply you a.s.a.p XD

opps  , I've uploaded the wrong video -_-, I'll upload the V0.31 and Starcrack 7.0 by this week  :cheers: .

You should really play against 0.31 to improve your AI..

Great work AKA! I loved your commentary during the videos, can't wait to try it out!

Strategy 0.31 (non-cheating) is doing the same thing as 0.13, tested and the results are the same, no scouting and expanding while having too much assumptions, I'll post the replays anyhow  .

Has some variations of strategy over the past, yet still doing the same mistake of not scouting and expanding too fast.

I don't really believe that this test can be considered very valid.  Strategy AI is completely based on having full vision. There is nothing  coded to let it scout. Putting yours up against it without its vision  was kind-of like fighting a blind guy.

B_w_S, there is a version (non-cheating) where it indeed does not have map vision as checked by me  , it only scouts during mid/late game. As shown in the MeleeAI.galaxy below:

   // AISetDifficulty(player, c_diffNormalVision, false);
    AISetDifficulty(player, c_diffLimitAPM, false);
    AISetDifficulty(player, c_diffAutoLoadBunkers, true);
    AISetDifficulty(player, c_diffEarlyGameRepair, true);
    AISetDifficulty(player, c_diffEnableDangerMap, true);
    AISetDifficulty(player, c_diffWaveAvoidDanger, true);
    AISetDifficulty(player, c_diffNormalTargetPrio, true);
    AISetDifficulty(player, c_diffEarlyDefenseScout, false);
   // AISetDifficulty(player, c_diffNormalVision, false);

He did blank out the vision and when i did a test count on global units with FOW enabled, it indeed shows that Strategy 0.31 (Non-cheating) does not have vision.

The purpose of us benchmarking against other AIs is to make a better one out of the many for the many SC2 fans  :cheers: .

Thanks Artanis for replying , as said in the short description of the video, Humanik is still under development and the path it takes to retreat is not perfect yet  . As for attacks on selective units, it is up to the AI to determine whether it wants to attack the roaches with immortal, imagine this situation:

4 zerglings and 2 roaches when faced by 1 immortal and 1 zealot, should it (immortal) kill the 4 zerglings first when they are not in range to attack and while having a zealot in the frontline? Note that the hardened shield reduces high damage to 10 and per attack of the roach will be reduced to 10 instead of its full damage. When the zerglings reaches a specific range to attack it, it will deal more damage per seconds and it only takes 2 shots to kill 1, instead of 3 shots to kill one roach, what I'm trying to say is, the ability to analyze in a battle is complex and is still under major revision, decisions making is subject to comments and ideas given by most of the SC2 players

Thanks alot for your observation  :thumbsup: !.

 itsarabbit, thanks for commenting .First of all, to correct some minor assumptions from you, a zealot is not able to clear 4 zerglings by itself + when there's 2 roaches firing at it, that would be more of an issue (And how would you know that the roaches ain't micro manage to avoid your focus fire? That would be a waste of time trying to shoot it while at the meantime having your zealot getting killed). Anyhow, the simulation of such a situation is not done by me but by my other team members and I'm only giving you an easy example compared to a more complex one.
