      Alphastar mops the floor with pretty much anyone in SC2. I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t work in AoE2 too. It’s just not as popular. AFAIK they even limit the APM to human levels, otherwise the AI could micro with like 40.000 APM, and good luck beating that lol.

    This is super cool. If you’re allowed to upload another match, I’d love to see you do a similar video for the finals.
    One thing I’m curious about is what limitations, if any, these AI have. I remember there was a ML AI made for SC2 and I believe they placed a limit on how often it could move the viewport/camera. I wonder if these AI have limitations like that or if it is a case of whatever the scripting interface allows.

    • @ArawnOfAnnwn
      @ArawnOfAnnwn 3 роки тому +1

      The SC2 AI had to be limited because it was nothing like these AI's. These AI are basically just elaborate scripts. AlphaStar was a deep learning neural network made by Google for research purposes. It had APM limitations in order to ensure a fair playing field against human opponents, so it couldn't simply out-micro them. It still went on to best the pros in that game. Although AI's like that are very expensive, which is why they're never used for gaming. AI scripts like these are a whole bunch of instructions and conditions, whereas AlphaStar actually learned the game on its own through literally millions of iterations of trial and error.

    • @NivMizzet89
      @NivMizzet89 3 роки тому +2

      Pure guessing from someone with zero experience with this field:
      -The goal is to build the best AI, and building a generally good one seems more effective for that than one only focused on one weird strategy. 'Be the Viper, not the Hoang', or something like that.
      -Many of the AI blind spots are (probably) blind spots precisely because it's hard to script for those scenario's, so it might be tricky to build one that is effective in them. (And if you do find a script that knows how to handle those fights, others might do the same.

    IIRC the Barabarian Ai was even more powerful on the userpatch bc it allowed the Ai to micro single units which the DE engine(which is just a reskin of the original 1999 engine) doesnt allow.

    • @SpiritOfTheLaw
      @SpiritOfTheLaw  3 роки тому +10

      User patch features like direct unit control work on DE (it's a big part of why the AI jumped so much between HD and DE). The reason Barbarian, and other AI like Promi, may have seemed harder on Voobly was that it cheated when set to "hardest" difficulty by getting extra resources. In this tournament that obviously isn't allowed, so they may look a little weaker than you remember.

      Agreed. The ability to pick civs in the tournament were chosen to allow more ai's to particapate as only a few ai's play all civs. Even barbie does not play all civs as it cannot play with or against the 6 DE civs. Ideally you would have the scripters do a draft or let both scripters chose civs when one of the ai's cannot go random which is also on the cards for the next tournaments :)

      @@DCdabest AlphaStar was a Google Deepmind project. It's not like any of the AoE AI's, or indeed like any AI that're typically used in gaming (even in other genres). Rather than being pre-scripted, it's a deep learning neural network that LEARNED the game from literally millions of rounds. AI's like this aren't used in gaming because they're VERY expensive. Google themselves only made it play Starcraft as a research project, and it has since gone on to make some notable headway in solving the protein folding problem in biology. No one is gonna make an AI like this just for a game, they'll only do so if it serves some other purpose. Microsoft has suggested they might try implementing such an AI in AoE 4 at some point, likely only because Microsoft also has its own AI research projects.

      There's cheating AIs like "Beginner" that can be almost impossible to beat, even with 7 humans vs 1 AI. In terms of non-cheating ones, I haven't played against Rehoboam, but it looks pretty scary to micro against. With a bit more development, I think it could get to a point it's unbeatable, at least for me.

      Yeah, by "cheating" I mean extra resources. Theoretically AI can cheat with their micro in small ways too, like detecting when you target a specific unit in a group and have just that one unit start moving away even before you fire at it. That's more debatable as "cheating", but is certainly using information that wouldn't be available to a human player.
