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.

Here's my submission for week 1

B1994886 1 on Bandit_Plains_v1. Played pretty sloppily, since I'm on a new computer and I currently can't copy over all my old configs, basically jumped straight into this. Hopefully I'll be doing much better by next week.

Challenge 01:

B1994998 1 on Bandit_Plains_v1 . I did this pretty easily the 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:

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.
