Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to investigate online evolution of military unit combination strategies for winning an offensive rush in a real-time strategy (RTS) game. A modified version of Evolutionary Programming (EP) is used as the evolutionary optimizer while WARGUS is used as the RTS gaming environment. Evolution of the military unit combinations is conducted online, which means that optimization is taking place while a particular round of the RTS game is still in progress. Empirical tests show that the online evolution of military unit combination strategies is possible using EP and was able to mount successful offensive campaigns on a reliable basis against three respective built-in, human-crafted AI strategies provided in WARGUS.
