AIIDE 2023 - map tables by bot

The first table is the same as yesterday’s, for reference. Except I didn’t mark old/new maps.

One table for each bot, showing results on each map against each opponent. With 10 maps and 290 rounds, each cell shows the results for 29 games (some slightly fewer). It’s not a large number, there is plenty of statistical noise.

#5 McRave’s comparatively good results versus #1 BananaBrain are due to only a few maps. Interesting! For the most part, BananaBrain is consistent. It seems to have few weaknesses that other bots are able to exploit.

#2 Stardust is very inconsistent against its fellow top protoss. These are the results of a brittle bot, strong but not resilient. On Destination, I expect it’s because the twin bridges to the natural bases are easy to defend, so that Stardust’s attack fails. But Empire of the Sun and the other troublesome maps aren’t like that. I can’t guess the reason there.

And #3 PurpleWave is inconsistent against all opponents other than #8 UAlbertaBot—even the tail-ender #9 InfestedArtosis. Which is curious, because UAlbertaBot plays random and is hard to be consistent against!

This year’s improvements to #4 Steamhammer are particularly helpful against #8 UAlbertaBot, because of Steamhammer’s turtle strategy for surviving whichever rush UAlbertaBot ends up playing. The consistently excellent results against UAlbertaBot were key to squeaking past #5 McRave for the #4 spot.

Wow, look at #5 McRave vs #6 Microwave! Nearly all wins, except on Polaris Rhapsody where it was nearly all losses. The reason for it must be very specific.

The overall results make it look like #6 Microwave somehow has #3 PurpleWave’s number, but here we see it depends on the map. It is presumably part of PurpleWave’s general inconsistency, but we’ll have to look at the replays to see the specific reasons.

I like it that even the tail-end bot has an upset against the strong #3 PurpleWave on one map.
