Overall league thoughts
Moonfisher:
I think 0 repop could have some interesting outcomes... if 2 oponents both hamster and breed alge, then a clever bot would be able to tell when to gather alge and when to kill them in case they're in enemy teritory.
And not sure about poison costs...
And I'm realy tired and need some sleep... so didn't have time to read or think about everything here...

Veggies:
Threshold of 0
-or-
repop of 1
Delay of 500
---
50 as the pop cap
population@20-25
10x poison/shell costs
---
Btw, what about slime?

Repop 1 and threshold 1.

No, no, a high pop cap. I'm more thinking of around 500.

And why 10x, why not 2x or 5x.

Just allow it as it is right now.

What are you suggesting? What rules would you keep?

Any rule that has a meaning. I didn't test any spectaculair ant ants in the settings. It could be an idea to test some ant-bots with some settings and look if they can survive instead of random guesing what rules could be good or bad.

"Why should it (the veggy population) be reasonably low?"
Uhh...
Wasn't the main point of this league to have a low veggy population?

No, it was to have interesting behaviour. I don't feel like putting pop caps to the veggies. I want to give them as much freedom as possible. I don't know how a low pop cap could turn interesting behaviour on. I put farming veggies out too, a pop of 50 could be held pretty fast.
jknilinux:
50 is a high pop cap when your bots can survive with 20.
If we want the population to be 20-25, and the bots are too stupid to control the veggies on their own, then we should make the threshold 20.
10x because it's a big advantage, and making it cheap is not going to encourage intelligence.
I think all these rules have meaning, and the main point of this league was to encourage interesting behavior through having few veggies. Farming is one example of interesting behavior.
