A large-scale team battle. Here there are two types of agents on each team, ranged units which can attack farther and move faster but have less HP, and melee units which can only attack close units and move more slowly but have more HP. Unlike battle and battlefield, agents can attack units on their own team (they just are not rewarded for doing so). Agents slowly regain HP over time, so it is best to kill an opposing agent quickly. Specifically, agents have 10 HP, are damaged 2 HP by each attack, and recover 0.1 HP every turn.

Arguments#

combined_arms_v6.env(map_size=45, minimap_mode=False, step_reward=-0.005,
dead_penalty=-0.1, attack_penalty=-0.1, attack_opponent_reward=0.2, max_cycles=1000,
extra_features=False)

map_size: Sets dimensions of the (square) map. Increasing the size increases the number of agents. Minimum size is 16.

minimap_mode: Turns on global minimap observations. These observations include your and your opponents piece densities binned over the 2d grid of the observation space. Also includes your agent_position, the absolute position on the map (rescaled from 0 to 1).

step_reward: reward after every step

dead_penalty: reward when killed

attack_penalty: reward when attacking anything

attack_opponent_reward: reward added for attacking an opponent

max_cycles: number of cycles (a step for each agent) until game terminates

extra_features: Adds additional features to observation (see table). Default False

Action Space#

Key: move_N means N separate actions, one to move to each of the N nearest squares on the grid.

Melee action options: [do_nothing, move_4, attack_4]

Ranged action options: [do_nothing, move_12, attack_12]

Reward#

Reward is given as:

  • 5 reward for killing an opponent

  • -0.005 reward every step (step_reward option)

  • -0.1 reward for attacking (attack_penalty option)

  • 0.2 reward for attacking an opponent (attack_opponent_reward option)

  • -0.1 reward for dying (dead_penalty option)

If multiple options apply, rewards are added.
