An Overview of Real-Time Strategy Game AI

Real-time strategy (RTS) games are war simulation video games in which the players perform several simultaneous tasks like gathering and spending resources, building a base, and controlling units in combat against an enemy force. RTS games have recently drawn the interest of the game AI research community, due to its interesting sub-problems and the availability of professional human players.

Large state and action space make standard adversarial search techniques impractical. Most current state-of-the-art agents divide the game into independent sub-problems, and tackle each one with different search, machine learning or scripted solutions. I will present an overview of these sub-problems and the techniques used to solve them, as well as some algorithms aimed at the full game. I will conclude with possible future avenues of research.
