Iron is a StarCraft AI based on the BWEM library (same author).
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Iron can be seen as an extension of <a href="Stone.html">Stone</a>.
|
|
<P/>
|
|
Like Stone:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Iron is Terran bot.
|
|
<li>Iron is Agent Oriented.
|
|
<li>Focus has been on individual behaviors: Agents are highly autonomous and versatile.
|
|
<li>These behaviors have been carefully designed to avoid indecisiveness, one of the most common and frustrating issues of AIs.
|
|
<li>Iron aims at robustness and doesn't contain any code specific to a particular bot.
|
|
<li>SCVs play an important role.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<P/>
|
|
Unlike Stone:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Iron is a complete bot that can deal with most types of threats.
|
|
<li>Iron can expand.
|
|
<li>Iron is a hybrid system: alongside the Multi-Agent paradigm, it uses a bunch of global strategies and algorithms.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<P/>
|
|
Iron competed in the following tournaments:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>the <a target="_blank" href="http://sites.google.com/site/starcraftaic/result">IEEE CIG 2016 StarCraft AI Competition</a>.</li>
|
|
<li>the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cs.mun.ca/~dchurchill/starcraftaicomp/">AIIDE 2016 StarCraft AI Competition</a>.</li>
|
|
<li>the <a target="_blank" href="http://sscaitournament.com/index.php?action=2016">SSCAIT 2016 Tournament</a>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<P/>
|
|

|
|
Iron is still under developement.

<h2>Iron's FAQ</h2>
|
|
</center>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Why this name?</h3>
|

|
|
making it one of the strongest StarCraft bots.
|
|
|
|
<h3>What is Iron's style of play?</h3>
|
|
Like its father <a href="Stone.html">Stone</a>, Iron used to be a pure conservative bot. This comes from how each unit normally behave.
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Iron now uses a fight simulator which can make its units look like very agressive.
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Autonomy of Iron's units gives its play a general guerilla aspect.
|
|
<br/>
|
|
In general, Iron favours the army race, rather than the tech race or the economy race.
|
|
|
