Hacker News has set AI a lot of challenges over the years. Which ones has it met?

About which game AI should tackle next after AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol.

If they make a decent AI for Total War I'd be impressed. Or an AI in Civilization that doesn't cheat. But of course requiring a mini-datacenter in hardware and time to think (probably seconds) would make it unrealistic for both.

AI plays Total War decently, or plays Civilization well without cheating.
