+        self.population_size = population_size
+        self.max_iter = max_iter

The ArtificialGorillaTroopsOptimizer doesn't properly call the parent init with all required parameters. The parent AbstractOptimizer.init signature includes max_iter, but it's being assigned directly to self.max_iter instead of being passed through super().init(). This is inconsistent with other optimizer implementations in the codebase.
