For anybody who stumbles over this thread and is curious:

Ring Warrior Enhanced v9 has a Wilkies score of 34, and

Spiral Bomber Optimized v22 has a Wilkies score of 85.

At least that's what my quick and dirty check with exMars says :-)

34 is not that great. 85 is better, but I think some Core War evolvers can match it. For instance, the MEVO example at https://newton.freehostia.com/net/corewar/evol/ describes an evolved warrior with a score of 93.
