other changes to Overkill

Overkill AIIDE 2016 is not Overkill 2015 plus Q-learning. Overkill is extensively updated. Scanning quickly through the diffs, I spotted changes affecting:

pathfinding
influence mapping
handling of enemy cloaked units
reactions to enemy flying units
choke finding
scouting
assignment of squads to targets (I think)
behavior of irradiated units
behavior of overlords
prioritization of targets to attack
static defense, both ground and air
reactions to enemy bunkers and cannons

My list is not complete. I really want to see some games!

Next: Overkill wrapup.

Sijia Xu wrote to me that he/she plans to get into the discussion on the blog (yay), but is too busy to submit a version to SSCAIT (oh well).

That's a shame! I really wanted to see his new version playing on SSCAIT. How can one be that busy for a submit operation that only takes a minute? Couldn't we submit it for him? :P

Sure, anyone who can compile it could submit it. It would be polite to ask permission first. :-) I think Sijia Xu is unhappy with the AIIDE 2016 results and wants to make some progress on the to-do list first, and that’s what there is no time for.
