NERO is a game of training and battle. These movies are recorded from both parts of the game. The behavior in these movies was discovered by rtNEAT evolution in real time; none was scripted. Novel strategies and behaviors emerge on their own to fit the requirements of each task.

A 5-minute introduction to NERO 2.0 and the Territory Mode

This video shows a team which has been trained to run to the flag while navigating around the trees and not getting distracted by the opponent. This is a good addition to your Territory Mode platoon.
This video shows a team which has been trained to attack the enemy preferrentially when they are next to a flag. Such a team can be used as part of a strong defensive strategy in Territory Mode.
