I will try to code the AI on this although no promise due to part time gig. I am aware like 2/3 of the tribe has CS background so if I do make one, please code review it.

Too late, the sitouts had to be submitted before the end of TC because they can't discuss the rules/strategy of the challenge. I already took Regi and you as the sitouts.

Apparently somebody has created an AI for Santorini before. I have downloaded and going to try it first.

Well, looks like I'll be near-useless for this challenge due to the time.

I have been play testing the AI and it seems pretty-pretty good. Link : mrraow.com/index.php/aiai-home/aiai/Click the underlined Ai Ai for the AI. Download it. Make sure you have downloaded Java 8 or Java 8 SDK. Run the AiAi.jar. A weird prompt will appear. Just click default configuration. On the top menu row, select Game > Start Santorini Game (2 player) During the role selection, select Man for both players. You will see the game grid. On the bottom left row, you will notice buttons that shows the configuration. If the other tribe moves first, select 1st button. If you select the 1st button, the 2nd player will be AI. obviously, we will be duplicating what the AI says. The same is also valid for the other way around. The AI should start automatically. If the AI is not doing its job, press the light bulb button on the bottom right corner to start the AI. Moving the pieces is by click and drop Important Go to Settings > Set Thinking Time. Drag the timer to 60 seconds. What it means is that the AI will find the best play in 60 seconds. However, since in this game, you take two turns at once, the AI will spend 2 minutes in total. I haven't won even once against the 60 seconds AI. Important If two players is running the AI at the same time, both AI does not necessarily make the same move. Do not be afraid, it is not the bug. If you want to synchronize the game board, to the current state of the game, restart the game. Select No AI on the bottom left corner. Move the pieces so it matches the game board. Once it has been synced, change the game mode to the right game mode. If it's our turn but the AI is not doing its job of finding the right move, press the light bulb button on the bottom right corner.

No promise I will be online for the game start so people who is online by then should be already downloading the AI by now.
I suspect the challenge will last up to 3 hours.

Guys, I’m just about finishing my break from work and I won’t be back until the challenge has at least started
Can someone please check out the AI and have a play around with it before the challenge starts so they know how to use it and post in here if you’re all good with using it

Be careful about training against the bot. When I played against it, I found myself unable to build diagonally. This might be a bug I got at an odd time, or it could be something bigger.
I'm not sure exactly how much it changes the game, but I'm certain the bot's endgame analysis will be wrong.

I won't be home/able to test against the bot at all before the challenge starts. Any tips?

Body blocking is critical to the endgame. If you combine your two pawns with a lvl 2 building, you can frequently stop then from getting close, while threatening to win the game with a build behind it.
If we start second, we are on the defensive and we need to stop them from getting a strong wall. Vice versa for going first.

Quick message to explain why I left during the challenge before anyone says anything
My girlfriend started texting me due to her depression issues and so I had to focus on her to keep her safe, she’s starting to feel a bit better now but I’m still lookin after her so won’t be talking major game until she falls asleep
So I’m not ignoring anyone haha
