Planet Wars AI @ IEEE WCCI 2026

[Simon Lucas]

Hi all,

The deadline for the WCCI edition of Planet Wars AI is midnight Sunday 21 June AoE:

https://simonlucas.github.io/planet-wars-rts/

AAMAS 2026 was won by TeamTitansV3 - a combination of

smart heuristics and using the forward model to evaluate future

consequences of proposed actions.

LLM-based evolutionary coding systems have achieved great results

in many domains, but not yet in Planet Wars (though LLaMEA-designed

Galactic Armada was 3rd in the IEE CoG run last september). 

Human ingenuity and RL have achieved the best results so far.

Here's a list of some popular LLM-Evo systems - would

be great to see more entries from these, and I they can

still benefit from some driver skill to get the best out of them:

• LLaMEA

• EASE

• LLM4AD-EoH

• Shinka-Evolve

• OpenEvolve

• CodeEvolve

• DeepEvolve

Cheers,

Simon
