CIG 2017 bots x maps

How well did each bot do on each map? This table is nice and compact and easy to read conclusions out of. Hitchhiker is a 2 player map and a complex one. Alchemist and Tau Cross are 3 players. Andromeda and Python are 4 players.

If one bot loses on a given map, then another bot has to win. The BWEM blowouts on Hitchhiker lift the other numbers in that column about equally. It’s striking that the top 3 finishers all liked Hitchhiker above the other maps. Maybe it’s a sign that map smarts make a difference? Well, ZZZKBot presumably liked Hitchhiker because the map has a short rush distance, and PurpleWave may have gotten a similar effect if it used its probe rush on the map. But UAlbertaBot got no boost from the map, although it plays rushes.

I noted earlier that PurpleWave struggled surprisingly on Tau Cross and Andromeda, and that MegaBot did not like Hitchhiker. It’s also notable that LetaBot did not like Alchemist and McRave did not like Python.

LetaBot on :

Alchemist has two openings to your base, and LetaBot only builds a wall for one of them. So because of that it is vulnerable to zealot rushes.

PurpleWaveJadien on :

Interestingly, Sling appears to use BWEM as well but appears to have survived Hitchhiker. I didn't look too closely but I imagine the author detected the problem in testing and found a workaround.

Marian on :

I assume the map picks for CIG been revealed beforehand.
I guess then it just comes down to bad preparation.

Jay Scott on :

In the case of Alchemist, it may have been a choice not to spend effort to play better on a nonstandard map. Well, the authors know and I can only guess.

MicroDK on :

I am thinking about making a bot / map table like the one Jay did for CIG 2017. ;)
