# Iron

Iron is a StarCraft AI based on the BWEM library (same author).
Iron can be seen as an extension of Stone.

Like Stone:

- Iron is Terran bot.
- Iron is Agent Oriented.
- Focus has been on individual behaviors: Agents are highly autonomous and versatile.
- These behaviors have been carefully designed to avoid indecisiveness, one of the most common and frustrating issues of AIs.
- Iron aims at robustness and doesn't contain any code specific to a particular bot.
- SCVs play an important role.

Unlike Stone:

- Iron is a complete bot that can deal with most types of threats.
- Iron can expand.
- Iron uses a mix of supervised and unsupervised algorithms.

Iron is still under developement.
To see its progress, go to SSCAIT Tournament.
