Effective Team Strategies using Dynamic Scripting

Forming effective team strategies using heterogeneous agents to accomplish a task can be a challenging problem. The number of combinations of actions to look through can be enormous, and having an agent that is really good at a particular sub-task is no guarantee that agent will perform well on a team with members with different abilities. Dynamic Scripting has been shown to be an effective way of improving behaviours with adaptive game AI. We present an approach that modifies the scripting process to account for the other agents in a game. By analyzing an agent\u27s allies and opponents we can create better starting scripts for the agents to use. Creating better starting points for the Dynamic Scripting process and will minimize the number of iterations needed to learn effective strategies, creating a better overall gaming experience

Team Formation with Heterogeneous Agents in Computer Games

Forming teams using heterogeneous agents that perform well together to accomplish a task in a game can be a challenging problem. There can often be an enormous amount of combinations to look through, and having an agent that is really good at a particular task is no guarantee that agent will perform well on a team with members with different abilities. Picking a good team is important, as changing teams is often not allowed midway through a task
