RCVIII - 4v4 - AI Tournament Suggestions/Chat

Fearghal

Hi All,
The "Rainbow Cup VIII" - 4v4 - AI Tournament
is scheduled for Feb 22/23 and Mar 1/2, 2025,

Each map will have either 2 or 4 AI.

Below are the 3 AI's that will be participating in RCVIII:

M28AI
M27AI
RNGAI

.

I would like for this post thread to be a place to discuss the
playability of the maps.

Please report any problems you detect on this thread, thanks

Fearghal

Post #2: Game Maps
Here are the maps that are now scheduled for the RCVII
Map Sheet.png

Would appreciate any play-testing feedback about
the AI's on any of these maps.
Check to see that they act properly, and very importantly....
expand equally outwards towards enemy teams,
eco similarly, and that the ACU's also perform well.

I'll enter DilliDalli and get it to support the nomads faction in the next update (in the next week or so).

What kind of players are you looking for? I played in the computer cup earlier this year and found it to be quite fun-if this is similar then I would love to play here as well

Lily Pads is a 3 team map. You can put the AIs on the smaller islands.

points for lots based on a teamgame tourney with ai lol

Fearghal

FtXCommando

LotS is a 1v1 tournament meant to pick out the best player of the year, this is a teamgame tournament that isn't even between just 2 teams. You might as well as give out LotS points for winning a 16 player Claustrophobia FFA, in fact that one would probably be more relevant to LotS since at least it's 1 person teams.

Fearghal

@ftxcommando Thanks FtX,
That makes sense, and rethinking it - doe's sounds silly, :)~
Scratch that request.

@Fearghal Please also get in contact with the Promotions team so we can see what we can do to promote it in the new year after LotS

Fearghal

@rowey Thanks Rowey,
It's early now, but it takes a lot of time to set up, and map balance.
Last year I rushed it, and want to do it better this year.
I will Definitely get in touch with the promotions team right after the Lots Tourny!

Rowey

@Fearghal with it beeing a few months out if you like we can post a Tournamet trailer to the faf YouTube as a mean of promotion if you know somone who or if somone is willing to put one together with your input

Femboy

@fearghal Yes please! I would be more than happy to create banners, stream overlays and possibly a trailer for the tournament! Just reach out to me (and the promotions team) after LoTS!
