Reason of forgotten can be vary, as lack of maintenance, no specialty, or simply hard to download
But for merged one, there is always maintenance, and exists with the game

Merged AI have one common: they are best of the time.
Maybe it's the only way to be merged...

Having an interest in the progress, I made a few tests on Sk-FishNets map with this bot.

The build order when using no bases, strongly advise changing this. This factor is causing it to lose the game. Other bots first make 2 facs, lab, then CC after but dumb24 makes lab, gen and CC first before any facs. As per this screenshot.
This delays trucks way too long or any other kind of unit production.
It lost against my arty-hackbot ( almost same as Cobra ) on Hard vs Hard.

On body weapon pairing, I saw Heavy Cannons being used on a Leopard body which is another thing to look at adjusting.
You'd want to match weight to body ratio is more appropriate.

With those tweaks it'll do much better on no base games.

I see this though - "Maximum filesize per attachment: 10 MiB." - Maybe that message is out of date now?

It only tested on full base, where already have 2 factories
For it's truck code, only structure count and power involved, other is ignored
I will fix it at next version

I had a thought as well that, while droid order == move || retreat, to perform some terrain analysis as it moves to prefer moving over roads if seen and to avoid steep inclines where possible.

Also, consider factory orientation to face direction of produced units to local map gateway or enemy, relevant to position.

dumb24a: no-base & rocket bugfix

Normal dumb24a-1 beat Hard dumb24-1 at 50% chance
Normal dumb24a-2 beat Hard dumb24-2 at 65% chance

(new code have bugs at low oil map)

(below enabled at >= 24 oils or no base)
better 40 oils, no base truck code

(below enabled at >= 24 oils)
better rocket hit-run function, droid will not rush into enemy when patroling
better rocket Anti Tank / Artillery ratio, calculated from enemy Tank / Cyborg ratio
rocket attack earlier when against flamer
cannon will hit-run when against cannon
reduce movement at defense state

remove unused functions
add comment for legacy truck code

Normal dumb25-2 beat Insane dumb24a-2, dumb24a-1
It weak against MG rush from side

Fixed many zero-division error, it will make full AT rocket when enemy build 0 cyborgs
Won't change target position when attacked
Use 50% mortar and 50% rocket array to anti cyborg
Replace Heavy Rocket Array with Pepper Pot
Mortars will firesupport first sensor, if it have target.
Research and use Tracks if event of attacked by artillery > 50
