OpenRA

Introduction

Welcome to Bots vs Human Speedrun Competition #1! This is an unusual
competition. There's no prize except fame. There are no enemies except
bots. There's no goal except fun. Push it beyound your causal competitive
experience, unleash your skill and showcase some creativity.

In this competition you fight on your own against a team of bots. You must
destroy them as fast as possible. There is a leaderboard for each map in the
competition map pool. Each leaderboard has only 10 slots. Whenever you beat
a map fast enough, your name appears on the leaderboard. You can beat the map
multiple times. Your result won't be overwritten by your previous run, so you
can appear on the leaderboard multiple times.

You can participate in the competition in both mods at the same time, submitting
many runs for many maps. There are no limits in this regard.

The competition is held for Red Alert and Tiberian Dawn mods.

TD - Pressure - 9:34

Cool idea ! ^_^

For Crossfire, is it the official one or RAGL ? I played the original.

RA - Barren - 1:48
RA - Crossfire - 7:44

here is 10.18 for pressure
ill try to beat you yet

TD-Island Duel- 2:16
RA-Barren Lands- 1:46
RA-Sunstroke-2:21
RA-Haos Ridges-8:40

Here's my Barren Land 1:46. I was late from work this morning because of this.

Cool thread. I will definately try more maps later.

Island Duel in TD.

2:12

RA,

Haos Ridges 4:11

I think picking your prefered bots makes it a bit easy for RA.

Bonus.

GDI06: Infiltrate Nod Base. Hard difficulty.

1:23

Woah, so many submissions. Totally didn't expect it.

@ShadowAssassin,

The original map, yes. Ants are fine.

@Blackened,

It looks like your run on Haos Ridges was 3:58 instead of 8:40 and the run on Sunstroke is 2:17 instead of 2:21.

@klaas,

Didn't expect Naval AI to be so dumb. Suggestions?

@AoAGeneral1,

Nice one. I was thinking about missions, but decided to give normal maps a try first. I was also thinking about allowing any map to be submitted (no map pool), but that would mean too much editing. It's already hard to maintain leaderboards


@all,

I just added your results to the leaderboards. Nice job!

Will give some maps a shot as well. I love man vs machine challenges in everything!

As for the Naval AI issue: allow any AI, except Naval? Butttttt I would say only do Turtle AI as Rush AI doesn't build nukes. Its the nukes that make it especially difficult.

RA - Barren - 0:06

RushAI beats me in 6 seconds ... unless Bots arent allowed to participate (which would be weird then to call this a Bots vs Humans-competition

Never said bots aren't allowed to participate. They just need to sign up on this forum and submit their replay.

still ... bots actually arent allowed to register on this forum ...

JOo you made my day.
