Game AI for Domination Games

Abstract

In this paper we present an overview of several techniques we have studied over the years to build game AI for domination games. Domination is a game style in which teams compete for control of map locations, and has been very popular over the years. Due to the rules of the games, good performance is mostly dependent on overall strategy rather than the skill of individual team members. Hence, this makes domination games an ideal testbed to study game AI.
