gg blender

good game, Gadzbot!

The dalek army fighting first match against Blender have failed. They were unworthy. That 1 single army in Africa prevented them from recognising a stalemate.

Edit: Second game Dalek army lost by bad luck. They fought till elimination as proud Daleks.

Edit2: The Daleks will execute their leaders and regroup in the shadows. Defeat is only a temporary state on the path to victory.

Huh, what are you talking about? Either way, it seems I will see you next. Good luck Dalek, much respect to your game!

About the failure of the Daleks against AdsRiskbot.... ah, I worte Blender instead

Edited 6/8/2014 20:07:03

It says Blender in that message :)?

GreenTea: I'm shocked at the stupidity of my bot, he got at winning positions but gave them away in round 1 and 2 :( The bugs were known though... Curious to round 3, but it doesn't really matter anymore... Of course, your bot always plays a good gam.... Kudos! Good luck against Ad :)

That AdsRiskbot is a very strong bot. If your bot knows how to play then South America + Africa is (if the opponent doesen't start in North Africa) stronger than Australia + Africa. This is because you can use the leftovers coming from taking South America.

Beautiful 3rd game against Ad, GreenTea. Ouch, I just realized he has the chance to run around in circles. I'm afraid you can't catch him :( Ah well, very nice game anyway.

yes :'(
It was happened once.. Nice running strategy implemented by AdsRiskbot..

Ads RiskBot broke down in that 100 draw game. For some reason GreenTea didn't go after him but just moved his stacks around.

This running away was well solved by AdsRiskbot. His bot hits territories that the opponent can't threaten next turn and he doesen't run into dead ends. Of course his bot also has to have a basic map understanding to know when a draw is the best he can get. I'm quite glad that AdsRiskbot has won this tournament since he had some funny and good ideas. The only game that he lost against GreenTea was mainly because of a terrible mistake round 4 where he ran into two bad fights.

Congrats to AdsRiskbot's maker! Thing was over before I even got on. Didn't know when or exactly how they were going to run it or show the games so I missed it all. Did they show all the games played in real-time or just spit out results like before? They're not very good at putting on a show. At least top few bots got their due.

Doushibag: No, there was a timer between each single game of 8 minutes, regardless of whether it ended earlier. Trust me, the games against Gadzbot were VERY suspenseful for me ;)

Ah, well I'm glad you guys got to watch it in such a manner. I missed out on that.

Well played by Ads.

A replay of the finals with 0% luck would still be an interesting thing though.

congrats to Ads, was somewhat unexpected by me atleast.

How about alongside the 1400 in prize money, the winner also gets the chance to have their bot batttle the official Warlight bot? If any challengers beat the true Warlight bot, they have the posssibility of being intigrated as the new AI system. give the humans a bigger challenge against the AI.
