Description
AI: Improve AI by implementing global attack/retreat decision
Page for the idea: SoC_Ideas_AI_Global_strategy
Wesnoth AI works by making local decisions about moves and attacks, teach it to determine if it's worth to fight offensively or defensively in a given situation
There are no submitted student proposals for this idea
Additional Information
Wesnoth has time of day cycles (...-day-day-dusk-night-night-morning-... ), with certain times of day heavily favoring units depending on their alignment. Moreover, new units are constantly trained - so, sometimes the best decision would be to defend and wait or fall back, sometimes the best decision would be to attack (e.g. with the aim of holding a strategic village until morning, and counter-attacking during morning and day, then falling back with dusk). AI should learn to adapt its strategy depending on the balance of forces and on current time of day.
