Case-Based Reasoning and User-Generated AI for Real-Time Strategy Games

Creating AI for complex computer games requires a great deal of technical knowledge as well as engineering effort on the part of game developers. This paper focuses on techniques that enable end-users to create AI for games without requiring technical knowledge by using case-based reasoning techniques.

AI creation for computer games typically involves two steps: a) generating a first version of the AI, and b) debugging and adapting it via experimentation. We will use the domain of real-time strategy games to illustrate how case-based reasoning can address both steps.

    Traditionally, strategy games have been played either with miniatures, using physical models of detailed terrain and miniature representations of people and equipment to depict the game state; or on a board, which commonly uses cardboard counters on a hex map.
    Strategy video games are categorized based on whether they offer the continuous gameplay of real-time strategy (RTS), or the discrete phases of turn-based strategy (TBS).
    Often the computer is expected to emulate a strategically thinking “side” similar to that of a human player (such as directing armies and constructing buildings), or emulate the “instinctive” actions of individual units.
    Popular wargames include Warhammer_40,000 or its fantasy counterpart Warhammer Fantasy. Popular strategic board wargames include risk, Axis and Allies, Diplomacy, and Paths of Glory.
