Hi, guys! I'm kind of new here =)
Did I understand the problem right? I understood the problem as "Build an algorithm which finds the best distribution of 13 dwarves in order to get maximum expected fort value"
I looked through the solutions of others and saw mostly insights from the data. Was I right to apply ML/optimization? I mean, no one else did anything similar and maybe I understood the problem wrong... (maybe the problem is to understand and explain how the game works or smth else)
Used gradient boosting as a surrogate model + genetic search
Miners sent 6
