Tournament 3: Tech-Limited Game
The tech-limited game tournament evaluates bots in a simplified StarCraft environment. The tournament requires reasoning at strategic and tactical levels, but omits much of the complexity of the full version of StarCraft (e.g. cloaking, transports and air units).
Limitations
The tech-limited game is restricted to Protoss versus Protoss matches on a single map. The following buildings can be produced:
- Nexus
- Pylon
- Gateway
- Assimilator
- Cybernetics Core
- Forge
- Shield Battery
The following units can be produced:
- Probe
- Zealot
- Dragoon
The following upgrades can be researched:
- Singularity Charge (Dragoon range)
- Melee attack (Level 1)
- Range attack (Level 1)
- Shields (Level 1)
Also, the “fog of war” will not be enforced. Therefore, bots will have perfect information.
Tournament Details
The tournament will utilize a double-elimination bracket. Bots willed be paired up against other bots in 1 versus 1 matches, where a match consists of a “Best of 5” series of games. All 5 games will be played on the same map. After each game, the bots will swap starting positions. Initial positions will be randomly selected.
Objective: destroy all enemy structures.
Fog of war enforced: no
Map Pool
The tech-limited tournament will utilize a single map, a variation of “Space Madness”. To handle possible imbalances in the map, bots will swap positions after each game.
