Hopefully these will lead to better AIs in RTS games. I always thought Blizzard could make AIs better without having to resort to cheating.

Interesting. I've been toying with AIs in SC2 and I believe they do cheat. I'll ally an AI with me and create an opposing team of differing AI levels and observe. Kinda odd to basically watch the higher level AI characters churn out units so fast it makes your head spin.

Only the insane cheats, it gets extra resources per trip.

That's intense - the level of command over the mutalisks in the last video = :awe:

Here's a follow up by the team that won. An interesting read if you're into programming in general or Starcraft. They go through what the AI does and how it evolved.

Interesting. Has anyone tried playing that AI?

Don't think they released it to the public.
