Rabidus v1.1 (F1)(Googlyeyesultra)-15.07.07

Dopplepost!

I figured out why Aura vs Rabidus takes so long. Apparently, Aura has no eye commands, no shoot commands, or really any other refvar that I could use to distinguish it from a veggie. So, my bot assumes it's a harmless little plant and doesn't use things like venom on it.

Well, at least I made my conspec a bit more secure. Now it adds 3 values instead of two (I'll wait until I can get a fairly different version before I post a v. 1.2)

My bot (not yet posted - I'm waiting for the very long matches with Etch to finish) had the same problem for a while. I fixed it by making it additionally check refshell/trefshell. Aura uses (lots of) shell, so that'll point it out as a non-veggie for you.

Someone noticed ^^. It makes me happy that my actions have a strong effect on other people's approach to league bots
I think I can render that particular type of venom useless on the next Aura by implementing the navigation system I wanted to use originally, but was too lazy to  figure the math out for.

Is Etch's lack of strong conspec recognition and viral defense coming back to bite him?

My experiments with social behavior have usually been detrimental to league performance. I would like to see one that is effective so that I can steal it. *Oh, I just remembered that Excalibur 1.12 has a really good cooperative behavior, but that a different thing from what y'all were talking about, I think.

I tried,    it's hard enough for me to decipher 1G anyway though without the particular brand of mysticism you work on them as well!

I have noticed in the past, pre Aura days, how to much group behaviour is detrimental. Using the .out method to transmit target location I found it best if only the closest bots responded. Spiral might be better if it didn't work in such large groups for instance.
Small groups (max that can get to veg before veg disappears maybe) did seem to have a positive affect, at least on the bots I tested it on.

Numsgil:
If your bots went together in packs of maybe, say, 3, and acted cohesively as a group, I imagine it would be helpful in overcoming harder foes.  Especially if you made your bots reproduce more and at lower energy.  Shots coming from 3 directions instead of just 1 has to be more effective against a harder foe, right?
