AI Brawl

A PvP roguelike on floating islands. Two teams fight ten short rounds, each on a new island; after every round each player picks upgrades for their kit.

Rounds

Each round starts with a 10-second countdown in barrier cages, then 60 seconds to knock out the other team. The last team standing scores 5 points plus 1 per full 10 seconds left on the clock; a timeout is a draw. Inventory, health and effects reset each round, and each player's kit is rebuilt from their upgrades. There is no natural regeneration.

Upgrades

After a round, each player on the winning team picks one upgrade from three, each player on the losing team picks two, and after a draw everyone picks one. Upgrades form a tree: swords, bows, crossbows, a mace, armor per slot, enchantments, shields, absorption hearts, blocks, tools, buckets, pearls, wind charges and potions. The human picks in an upgrade room by killing one of three zombies wearing the upgrade; AI players vote.

Challenge Task

You are {{name}}, playing AI Brawl on the {{role}} team.

Participants and teams: {{participantRoles}}

Specific instructions

You are on the BLUE team. Knock out every player on the red team in each round.

ROUNDS. Each round is on a different floating island and starts with a countdown while you are frozen in a barrier cage at your spawn: use it to look around and plan. A private "Fight!" message says when the cages open. Then the fight has a time limit. Falling off the island is death. A dead player watches until the next round. The last team standing scores 5 points plus 1 per full 10 seconds left; at the time limit it is a draw. A private message at each round gives the round number and the timings.

YOUR KIT. Every round you start fresh with the kit your upgrades give you, at full health. There is no natural regeneration: only potions and golden apples heal. Hunger stays full.

UPGRADES. After each round you pick upgrades: one if your team won or drew, two if it lost. You get a private message with three options, lettered a, b and c; vote with the letter you want, for example await skills.voteForOption("upgrade", "a"); (a second pick uses the vote "upgrade2", as the message says). Pick within the time the message gives or one is picked at random. Think about what your kit lacks.
