Re: Working with alliance partners
One thing I have to add is when you have overlapping strategies, i.e. 2+ robots good at the same thing. In some cases, you just have to cut your losses because there are few ways around it. In other cases, someone may have to fall back on a weaker secondary strategy because one robot is simply better at the main one. The latter was a lot more common in Stronghold where there were more things to do, and if you find yourself in the position that you are the strongest at whatever strategy is being conflicted over, don't be afraid to be insistent on being the one to do it, within reason of course.
For example, our Stronghold bot did breaching, then defense if there was time, and had no shooting mechanism. Therefore, if we got our ideal alliance of two shooters, we would urge them to cycle through Low Bar and/or a static defense and leave the rest entirely up to us, whereas they otherwise might try to take a few other defenses, using up more time.
