A review of computational intelligence in RTS games

Real-time strategy games offer a wide variety of fundamental AI research challenges. Most of these challenges have applications outside the game domain. This paper provides a review on computational intelligence in real-time strategy games (RTS). It starts with challenges in real-time strategy games, then it reviews different tasks to overcome this challenges. Later, it describes the techniques used to solve this challenges and it makes a relationship between techniques and tasks. Finally, it presents a set of different frameworks used as test-beds for the techniques employed. This paper is intended to be a starting point for future researchers on this topic.
