I guess I don't know my game theory well enough. I can't quite figure out when it is best for both sides not to fight each other (other than hordes). Do you...
... I think we can only reliable balance stuff if we play alot, till it get obvious the problems.. (I see your point now =])so i agree we shouldnt change much...
/****************** A better way to create noncombatants is not to make them hard to kill, but to make other sides not want to kill them. We can do that...
... Well, wars are very costly endeavors, unless you are much better than the other side (or if you are the elite class of yours :) or both) you wont profit...
An idea just pop up. Instead of artifical damage, cooling cost can be used. It increases mass and also uses energy by modifing all energy excees (weapons,...

... I don't understand what you mean about distributed sides being more effective. In combat this is definitely *not* true - concentrated force is much better...
... I'd rather not complicate energy expenditure; it makes it hard to predict how much things cost. But also this doesn't balance The point of the cooling...
... I don't mean that sides wouldn't defend themselves when attacked - but they could reasonably avoid shooting first. Fighting is expensive (you lose cells)...

... What is the default we're using again? 8 per match? And, have you considered raising the time limit? Lets see.. i guess raising would only be a good thing ...
... 10. ... A longer time limit has the problem that rounds would take longer to run, especially if there are any runaway algae. ... A torus would be fine,...
Has the 'rules' box been disabled as an oversight or a feature? I have generally felt that games were too crowded at the start. The robowar group round in...
... In a many-sided game, a fight between two sides is not a zero-sum game. Normally both sides involved lose, so it's better to avoid fights unless you will...

Someone sent us some new sides, so it's time for another Newbie Tournament. I'll hold it in about two weeks, on Saturday August 10, so you have time to dust...
I just encountered Grobots, and playing with it it seems quite fun, but I'm curious if there's any actual activity going on anymore anywhere for it, and if...

Starting with a seed, and syphoners to feed it, it produces a seed which randomly moves away to a space at least 5, at max 10 away from any other established...
I have been spending some time upgrading sides. Devon and Warren, what are the latest versions of my sides that you have. I had a hard drive crash and lost...
I'm trying to set one bot up to follow another, at first i had no problem, but as the number of bots increase I see something strange happening. Whenever the...
at first glance, I would say that when you reach the end of the loop, you invert the test for the while.. so it will break as soon as the master isnt the first...
Yeah, that did seem to be the problem. I moved next-robot to the top, stored its value in a variable, and checked it against 1 instead of 0 and everything...
