Due to the continued popularity of games against bots, I present to you ‘Survival of the Fittest’!
This format is a survival contest lasting several weeks. You fight until only one of you is left.
So, who will struggle through to be the last survivor in the end?



The rules:
1. Every week, on Sunday, I will publish a new bot challenge online.
2. All participants will then have one week to complete it and post a replay in this thread. If a participant does not post their replay before I put the next challenge online, they are out... This is usually on Sunday mornings, but can sometimes be in the afternoon. I will keep a list of all active participants to keep track.
3. For each challenge, the specific rules for the challenge must be followed.
4. Replays that were not made during the week of the challenge may not be used.
5. No cheating
6. No speeding up or slowing down the game & no pause abuse!
7. No fixed start boxes

Personal Note: I'm absolutely thrilled that so many players have decided to take part in the challenge. Unfortunately, not many beginners have entered. That's why I'm definitely going to raise the difficulty level faster than planned.

Wow, what a close finish!
And what a time. In 17 minutes, that's really impressive.
Congratulations @Madez, for this great performance.


I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have helped me in any way to set up this challenge. There were some who gave me tips or helped me with testing.


I hope all participants enjoyed the event. I know it didn't all go smoothly, but I learned a lot and would like to organize it again sometime in a slightly different way.

In addition, I would like to open the door to any constructive criticism or suggestions as to what could be done differently. Then the next time will surely be even better.

Thanks to all participants :)

Challenge 01: Bots B1994998 1 on Bandit_Plains_v1 . I did this pretty easily the first time with Glaives, but on a local game so there wasn't a replay #. Then the next two games I had pretty bad experiences with cloakbots, getting frustrated by constant leakers and harass. So the spiders were a revenge choice.

Challenge 02: Bots B1999445 1 on Lowland Crossing Revised v2 . 3m20s, on my fourth try after two failed skirmish and one failed online. Big risks: accidentally giving the com an attack order, losing too many ducks to death explosions, running out time while hunting the last constructor. And maybe the AI picking a really bad factory for ducks. Reading the challenge it seemed like a huge jump in difficulty, but it also seemed like there was only one way it could possibly work, so it didn't feel bad to try it.

Challenge 03: Bots B2004456 1 on Great Divide V1 . Six tries. Cloakbots are the worst: on one try, Conjurers snuck behind me and started building up my side of the map.

Challenge 04: I got frustrated enough to play a few games of BAR and even ragequit a MM game where I was getting raided really effectively. Be alert to early warning signs like these! Know when to quit a challenge! I still think a Dirtbag walloff -> gunships transition -> Dirtbag ferry would be interesting, but I can't do it.

Please keep the number of conditions low because most of the times I forgot to destroy my comm at 3 minutes. I think it's preferable to add more ai opponents or increase the difficult level of ai rather than keeping more conditions.
