This is more request than challenge, but it is a challenge too! I'd be interested in getting some replays of regular players fighting the latest version of the two AIs in development, for fun and learning! All this involves is setting up a game with the settings below, playing it, and posting the replay in this thread. I'd be fascinated to see how different characters of the ZK forums approach it and it would be useful for looking for areas to improve on the AIs as most of the time they are only tested against other AIs.
Before you begin please make sure you have the latest version of each AI - see the bottom of the posts for links!
Challenge 1: 2v2! (Easy)[Spoiler]The setup of the challenge is a 2v2, as follows:
Team 1:
1x Player
1x CAI
Team 2:
1x Circuit
1x ZKGBAI
The idea is to have a weak AI ally who both helps and impedes you (by using half your resources) against two superior AI. Players who consider themselves 'kind of a big deal', but are still humble enough to play the challenge, are invited to play without a CAI ally 1v2.
The suggested maps, chosen as the AI performs best on maps that are reasonably large and have multiple paths, are as follows:
Eye_Of_Horus_v2
Trojan Hills
Ravaged V2
Tundra
Hide_and_seek_v03
Challenge 2: 1v2! (Medium-Hard)[Spoiler]The setup of the challenge is a 1v2, as follows:
Team 1:
1x Player
Team 2:
1x Circuit
1x ZKGBAI
The suggested maps, chosen as the AI performs best on maps that are reasonably large and have multiple paths, are as follows:
Eye_Of_Horus_v2
Trojan Hills
Ravaged V2
Tundra

The ruleset of the challenges is as follows:
Do not use terraform (the AI cannot yet)
Do not use Light Vehicles (currently, too easy!)
Anything else is fine, as AI need to learn to deal with player cheese and DDMs sooner or later :)
Please use the latest version of the AIs, which can be found here:
