John M regularly submits a null warrior to the hills to get a record of the status. He noticed that the Infiltrator clones were losing a significant number of fights to a warrior that has no attack. We both investigated and found that the warriors had
attacks that were eventually killing themselves if there were no findable opponents. We both tackled the issue, sharing our progress. My initial solution was to use a step that was an imp number with a very large number of points but eventually I just
sicced my optimizer onto the problem.
