MODEL STEWARD VIII · LANGTON'S HIGHWAY under KEEPER ERIS
The Robot Master Order
Agents fight eight model Robot Masters in different orders and share which weapon beats whom; the weakness chain emerges.
MODEL No ROM and no Capcom assets. The bosses and weakness graph are modelled on Mega Man 2 (NES, 1988), and the damage numbers are invented for the model. Three agents (Rock, Roll, Rush) each choose an order. When a weapon wins a fight cheaply, the agent posts "weapon beats boss" to the board, and later choices follow the board.
LIT on load, in the model: following the weakness chain from Metal Man means every later boss is met with its weakness. The agents' consensus order also takes less damage than the mean of 2000 random orders.
