<\/a>Diplomacy game board<\/p><\/div>\n
Diplomacy is a tactical board game in which 7 players compete in\u00a0<\/span>conquering early 20th century Europe. The game is played at two\u00a0<\/span>levels, one tactical and the other by negotiating between the 7\u00a0<\/span>players. This combination of tactics and negotiating makes the game\u00a0<\/span>extremely challenging, but the deterministic resolution of moves makes\u00a0<\/span>it extremely suitable to play with an artificial intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n We organize the Diplomacy Computer Challenge (DCC2015) to be held as part<\/span> Below are the guidelines for submitting a bot (as of 27-04-2015).<\/p>\n The source code will be made public after the Challenge via the\u00a0<\/span>conference website. The RandomBot<\/a>\u00a0may be used as a starting point for bots using DipGame. To learn more on how to test your bot, see the DipGame bot development page<\/a>. For DAIDE, see the wiki<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n The event will be held in Leiden, the Netherlands on 1 July<\/strong> during the ICGA Computer Olympiad 2015.
