Overkill’s CIG 2017 replays
Well, I looked at Overkill’s replays from CIG 2017 as I said I would, but I was disappointed. Not only was the CIG 2017 Overkill carried over from the previous year (which I forgot), but the CIG 2016 was also carried over from the year before (which I also forgot). Overkill from CIG 2017 is the same as Overkill from AIIDE 2015, from before the big learning feature was added. It plays the same as the Overkill version on SSCAIT.
Nothing to see here. :-(
Of the tournaments in yesterday’s table, AIIDE 2016 has the least-old version of Overkill. Last year’s version is the first version with unit choice learning, not only opening learning. The other tournaments all played the AIIDE 2015 version which has only simple opening learning like many bots. The AIIDE 2016 result is not far out of line with the other results, so we can guess that the new learning feature worked adequately but not great.
