Abstract :
Reinforcement learning is considered as one of the most suitable and prominent methods for solving game problems due to its capability to discover good strategies by extended se self-training and limited initial knowledge. In this paper we elaborate on using reinforcement learning for verifying game designs and playing strategies. Specifically, we examine a new strategy game that has been trained on self-playing games and analyze the game performance after human interaction. We demonstrate, through selected game instances, the impact of human interference to the learning process, and eventually the game design.
