BAFTA Games Livestream: Analysing AI Behaviour in Total War

Monday, 2 December 2019 - 7:00pm

Are you a student, professional, programmer, designer or AI developer interested in strategy game AI?

Hear from Creative Assembly's Duygu Cakmak, Senior AI Programmer and Csaba Toth, Senior Game Designer give insight into the challenges presented and techniques used when analysing and balancing AI behaviour in the turn-based mode of Total War games, focusing on the most recent release, record-breaking title; Total War: Three Kingdoms.

The complexity and depth of this grand strategy game makes it difficult to have a clear picture on how well the AI is performing, how smart it is, where it’s failing or whether the latest balancing changes have moved its behaviour in the right direction.

With potentially 50 individual AI factions making decisions about every aspect of empire management, warfare and diplomacy, over hundreds of game rounds in a sandbox environment, this is not a small task.
