AoE2 - AI vs AI Battle! 

those are no AI's. Just many little Koreans playing AoE 2 all the time.

Note to self, use mangonels against the new AI

two of the humans creations fighting for our amusement

AI's always make beautiful/semi-beautiful bases. Not like spamming tons of Barracks next to eachother.

1:15 dat dancing sheep :D

So now we're uploading videos of robots playing games

To a degree the AI is always going to be the superior player, like it or not. Because it can controll every one of it's own units individually, like it has a mind of it's own. No human player can come close to this, even the very best. There's a reason why monks are so incredibly effective when the cpu controls them. And why you almost dont see them in use in human matches. No human player can come close to that level of micromanagement. Oh and keep in mind that the computer can also keep playing forever, without feeling fatigue and losing focus over time

201 pop: i think it's a conversion

Zeroempire, can you do a little Ai tournament with all types of Ai? To see which is the king of Ai

Conversions can get you over the cap

I am wondering if you could make an AI become highest ranked player in AoE as it was done in chess (DeepBlue vs Kasparov). AoE though is a more compleciated game then chess, but also more micro intensive which gives the AI an advantage...

I'd actually love to see more of these. Mix up the AI, too. Barbarian+Juggernaut vs Barbarian+Juggernaut. Maybe an 8 person free-for-all. Maybe even a 1v1/2v2/3v3/4v4/free-for-all tournament. I think it'd be great, especially since everything is so easy to set up.

wouldn't it be awesome if there were some sort of AI tournament where really smart guys uploaded their AI routines and let the CPU duke it out?

The most impressive thing would be a human player who could delegate certain functions to AIs or to other players. (i.e. have an auto scout, AI farmers, AI monks and then, say one player managing one attack, one player managing a raid at the same time, one AI managing base defense, etc. and then a commander player doing grand strategy and giving orders). Best of both worlds and then some. That would be pretty much unbeatable.

Thanks for this video Zak! :) With Userpatch the AIs now also can detect flank/pocket positions and many of them uses this information to plan strategies/sling/flush/fc/fi etc. This alongside the boar and deer-lure is just a fraction of the new things the AI can do in Userpatch. :) As for the best one its without a doubt Barbarian still. But the community is quite active and theres quite a few great AIs out there - being updated frequently all wanting to beat the #1. :)

Very entertaining, Great Choice! Nice to see once in a while how the AI are developing. Keep peppering us with some of these among all the champion player games.

The standard AI is capable of playing on water. They just don't grush heavily and make use of transports a lot more.

There will be a new DLC with even better AI. I would love to see a second one of these. Nice work!

This was surprisingly VERY fun to watch! I hope you do another AI battle sometime :) As far as I can tell, the thing that is lacking the most from the AI is micromanaging

Why am I watching this? I think I'm getting to used to watch your commentaries, this just feels.. home. xD

awww i wish the ai said gg at the end, that would be awesome xD

it amuses me, the emotion in Zak's voice over the decisions of soulless lines of code

Heh, I remember when the AI used to send villagers setting up an early barracks in 5 minutes of scouting you, yet somehow had a pretty quick feudal age. It's kind of odd to see the AI being so chilled out in the early game. (One thing I have noticed though is that the old AOE2's allied AI was much quicker to respond to attacks on your base by the enemy, and units would always move together in formation.)

how can i spectate an customized AI battle?

So many comments with brilliant ideas I'd like to thumbs up.. you better read em all zero..

Wren't these the AIs that beat TheViper 3x1?

I'm very interested in setting up ai only battles myself, can anyone tell me how this is done?

Can't figure out how to install these things. Is there a clear step-by-step guide to installing this anywhere?

Awesome idea for a video ZeroEmpires, thank you!

Thing about AIs is that they can do 100s of things at one time, so eventually, AIs will be impossible to beat, given they get smart about micro manage-ment. One thing they'll never be able to do is adapt though. Random maps like migration and others will be hard to tackle by AIs.

The AI's also seem to have incredible micro, especially with monks. I was playing the other day and its archers were micro-ing out the way of 3 mangonels. Pretty impressive.

Fantastic to watch the AI battle . I know the AI doesn't give up quickly , but was looking forward to the game stats. anyway next time...thanks

I love how you commentate on a game that's purely AI. :3 We need battles based on programmers/scripters making AI and then have them fight against each other. ;p Although I don't remember AoE allows for that much differentiating in AI scripts itself.

How do I have an AI exclusive battle? I am playing on AOEHD and I can't figure out how to make a game not require a human player

please turn on captions for your videos, great job

Loved to watch this!! AIs always fascinated me. I tried most of them, and some are incredibly good, but for the hell of me I cant remember their name. There was an AI that was better than Barbarian and Juggenaut, iirc. I tried it when I purchased AoE HD.

Do the Hardest AI's feed themselves resources? I'd rather have it be able to do more complex strategies and not feed itself resources. Also, do the AI's on freeforall still focus on the score leader only?

i think this vid was rather fun, not especially in terms of beeing an "uberinteresting" game but because i think its a funny idea to let the pc fight and see what funny stuff he can do (and he did a lot(that stuff about not resigning at the end for example^^))... also i didnt expect it to last so long...

The outro is epic!

Dam that was exciting!

Barbarian red had 201 pop cuz he converted a unit when he had 200 pop xD love the new AI

With this you can make videos forever!

more of these please ! thanks ! cheers !

thats awesome! you should do naval and king of the hill in Ai vs Ai O.o

I love how he manipulates four Artificial Intelligence's to fight each other for OUR entertainment lmao

Could you do this for some of the HD AIs like resbot, brute force, logbot etc.? This is really fascinating!

i think the blue AI is actually Zero playing the game ._.

Does the AI cheat concerning scouting? Can it spot tactical things they haven't scouted yet?

8:10 Honestly, going for the unused mill here seems an bad move when it could try to harass the villagers instead. Those spears and skirmishers are going to take a long time to take it down, and not really inconveniencing Blue in the meantime.

These "ai"s that are doing the attacking first are the ai's that will not be improving themselves before doing tasks. The ones that improve economy are seeing that their current status requires improvement before moving to accomplish objective "destroy"

I want to see more of these!

finally an AI that can resemble MP. should make the transition between single to MP much easier

If You convert units with a monk and you have the max population. you can get more then max pop. or at least in the non HD Version you can do not knew if they fixed it. So you can get 201 pop / 200 pop

I would like to see theViper go 1v8 against this new AI. That would be nice to see!

lmao he built bombard cannons in his base at the end xD

Hello, ZeroEmpires! I have problem - PC don't attack me with default AI at any level of hardness. With OriginaL AI it attacks me with monks and bombards. I tryed ResonanceBot 5.0C, he is better, but still not perfect. What do you can reccomend for me? I don't want to play from my original disk, HD version from Steam in general better, but this AI issue pisses me off.

for some reason the AI i was fighting it went nuts with monks he had like 50-ish monks converting anything...along with his soldiers.... i end up winning because cannons but man...that was weird

maybe one day we will see ai tournaments like in chess, would be very exciting.

Sound is out of sync, it's very noticeable with the mangonels.

Why did you end the video before the end!? Green had the most powerfull unit there, that priest could Wololo blue player, and red would be ganged by Hussars.

Yeah, I've tried playing against the Barbarian AI in Forgotten Empires, but they're just outright impossible to beat. If you look at how they move their armies around, how they make their units, you can just see that their micro is just far beyond whatever a human could do, simply because a human has to move a mouse around to order his/her units. I heard this AI can even beat The Viper...

Viper vs AI? :)

Does somebody know, when they will implement those AIs in the HD version?

As interesting as this can be for some, I didnt personaly enjoy it since I like to be able to hope a certain player wins while here I was just watching AI bad micro, still amazing how good this AI is compare to the old one!

and its not working for me can i get a step by step help because i have 1.0

Names for them: Blue Basher, Red Ravager, Green Machine, Smello-Yello, Purple Punisher, Teal (cyan) Trasher, Grey Ground-Pounder, Orange Obliterator. I'll take my 'all the money on earth' now, please.

is this ai going to be on Age of Empires 2 HD?

The horde should beat barbarian every time ;) you should pair them up.

Can you do new AI vs Resonance bot? (assuming is not done already anyway)

whats the user patch and whats it do

Does this work on HD? How? I don't happen toi make it work

Does this work with the new steam update?

Plot twist: these players are human, but they just changed their usernames and tried to make their villagers look buggy

i love this video great game great times aswell!!!!

a bomb: intel vs amd, on a ai vs ai in aoe. >:D, is it posible to edit the ai behavior and or strategy? :D

Awh man, i wanted to see the death toll and units killed :(

That was intense

Is junarnt harder than brb

That sheep at 1:00

Lol, I saw a ram that had 0-3 melee armor xD

this is hallarious.

Amazing

Can you do barbarian vs hd ai?

If map had been Black Forest, those bots would have walled without gate and just used siege and archery = No ending

Do the AI's ever get housed?

over 200 is possible with the monks (:

More AI games please :)

Do an AI FFA

I always play with one nation only, always. I should go study economy cause one tribe just destroy all others.

this AI better than sc2 microbot!

TyRanT Legends vs. 4 AIs on hardes, am i the only one who wants to see that?

How does the AI cheat on hardest?

Bluebarian

I just tried this with african kingdouoms. In my game they look dumber then in your games.

what I read the viper lost against 3v1, so that mean I'm the true emperor. I v 4 and I won!!! six hr game

3 noobs vs 3 AIs :P

ai stealing sheps, lol

:o

of course the ai is pretty good....coz it's a fuckin cheater. and i hate it

Zeroempire, can you do a little Ai tournament with all types of Ai? To see which is the king of Ai
