StarCraft is a real-time strategy game that provides a complex environment for AI research. Macromanagement, i.e., selecting appropriate units to build depending on the current state, is one of the most important problems in this game. To reduce the requirements for expert knowledge and enhance the coordination of the systematic bot, we select reinforcement learning (RL) to tackle the problem of macromanagement. We propose a novel deep RL method, Mean Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic (MA3C), which computes the approximate expected policy gradient instead of the gradient of sampled action to reduce the variance of the gradient, and encode the history queue with recurrent neural network to tackle the problem of imperfect information. The experimental results show that MA3C achieves a very high rate of winning, approximately 90%, against the weaker opponents and it improves the win rate about 30% against the stronger opponents. We also propose a novel method to visualize and interpret the policy learned by MA3C. Combined with the visualized results and the snapshots of games, we find that the learned macromanagement not only adapts to the game rules and the policy of the opponent bot, but also cooperates well with the other modules of MA3C-Bot. |
