Please send me your war2observe replays
« on: May 03, 2026, 12:27:38 PM »
I'm working on a AI system that will be able to beat any top player 1 on 1.

But I need training materials.

Please send me your war2 observe replays, from ANY LEVEL. from u8 and shotgun all the way down to bottom idk who that is maybe like TK or equinox or (IDK cant think of anyone who i want to throw shade at right now).

Thanks all!

Sounds interesting. Being AI would it make decisions based on what it discovers (by scouting etc)  or would it be like normal game where it knows where you are and what youre doing etc? It would also have a big advantage when it comes to lusting and pathing. Would not be hard to beat the best of us if you can make it. If it only makes decisions on what it discovers could be fun.

Hey Jordan, I knew you were a smart one. That sounds really cool; I'll see what replays I have and send them to you. Do you need the recording from Warvid, or will Insight work too?

Please build an AI that's identical to Shotgun.
Shotgun can team up with it, and I'm curious to see who he'll blame if they lose :D

Sorry, do you only need one video?
I would have thought you needed several videos. Or do you mean several videos of the same player? Because the AI needs to know how to play from every position.
Then it all comes down to tactics. Would I go power if my opponent is dualing? Probably not. In that case, you’d have to go for towers and/or two cats or counter the dual. Or be creative so the AI isn’t too easy to figure out.
And in 2v2, it’s probably even more complicated.
Do you think all of that can be implemented?

Hey All thank you for your support.

So i'm not sure exactly which replay type we need, its the one where you go into the game and replay it like you are in the game. So if warvid and or insight do that then either is good.

Perhaps the future will hold a system where you can 1v1 your favorite TOP players. Or where you can choose an AI Ally  comparable  to the skill level in the game.

It would not be a CHEATING AI.. it would have to discover the map like the rest of us.

Lusting and healing will definitely be OP since its an AI so we will have to control that mechanism so it slows down to an acceptable rate.

We want the videos or files that can be replayed in warcraft II that know ALL the moves made. This way we can ingest it into the system to train the model. We wont want to ingest actual videos, that would suck
.

So war2vid / observe replays only please. Doesn't matter skill level high or low we want as much data as possible.

We need as many war2 observe replays for as many players as possible.

We can DEFINITELY Train a shotgun model where he allies himself and they just argue with each other about how neither is ever at fault for anything  :rofl:

Multiplayer is definiutely doable.

Tactics will be challenging but as we get more data we can train better.

Appreciate your support and look forward to getting some replays!

We need Dopa replay so we can train it how not to play.

If me and my AI lose 2on2 it would be your fault for producing poor AI simulation.

I'm not sure your efforts will be worth it. Nobody plays anymore. Also, u8 would rather mass zeps vs people who have played for 3 months, than play on the regular server, which doesn't help.

just curious, but how is this AI actually working ?

an ai script ?

hardcoded to do specific actions in-game ?

there're very few people who i can think about doing something remotely close to make this task work
