OpenRA

A new Botchallenge for the brave. Use this map: downloadlink

Rules:
- You start south, the bots start north.
- Survive and destroy the bots.
- You may add any AI on any spot that you want, but they all have to be of equal AI.
- You can be any faction

Setting a record:
The number of bots determine the Level. In a Level there are 4 shades of grey: Naval < Rush < Normal < Turtle. If you manage to finish a level with only Turtle AI no one can take away your spot.

Extra info: all bots own 3 oil derricks but they cant build nukes. Also there is alot of money on the map, but few mines for the bots. At the start of the map you own 6 oil derricks, a nuke, large powerplant and an AA-gun.

Recordholders:

6 bots: GoldenHippo (Turtle)
7 bots: abcdefg30 (Naval)
8 bots: NoobMapMaker (Turtle)
9 bots:
10 bots:
11 bots:
12 bots: Hotze (Turtle)
13 bots:
14 bots:
15 bots:
16 bots:
17 bots: 1st: SoScared (Turtle) - 2nd: Hotze (Turtle) - 3rd: Five Aces (Turtle)

Well, you didn't state that I'm not allowed to play against Naval AIs only...
I know it's cheap, but I didn't had that much time, was somehow fun though.

It's allowed to do Naval AI only But I just decided that Naval < Rush < Normal < Turtle. So if someone finishes the game against 7 Rush AI then he takes your spot. If you finish a level with only Turtle AI no one can take away the spot from you.

Vs 7 Bots, 4 Rush and 3 Normal.

I did notice a design flaw! I'll have to fix this map a little

Sorry SoScared, no mix of AI

Booooo

Against 12 turtles.
Explored map was enabled, crates disabled, rest standard in case that disqualifies it.

What design flaw?

Also, I can't watch your replay Noobmapmaker. Apparently it has a different hash than the map you've linked to on the resource center.

Kinda new to the forum, played OpenRA for about a year now and this looked fun!

Against 6 Turtle Bots

Well done

The flaw is that units can cross the water where they shouldn't. But I'll leave it like it is. Part of the challenge. Your settings are fine with me.

vs 17 Turtles, standard settings

Took a while to break out of the choke.

Well done!!

Also I've discovered another flaw that made it extra difficult: the goldmines that I've placed where owned by a multi#. So in many cases they wouldn't show if that particular Multi# wasn't filled in by a bot. In your case all bots where present and as I can see on your screenshot the goldmines where there resulting in a bit more cash for the AI's.

I'll watch the replay when I'm home from my nightshift.

Successfully beat 7 Rush AI.

Congrats SoScared.

This is way more watchable compared to what I posted. Good idea to engi cap those MCV's, 1) Faster production right from the start 2) Access to Russia/Ukraine/Allied tech, 3) 4-5 AI's taken out immediately

Wonderful.
