Sample 3 GA-Bred Tactics

There are 70 agents on each side and the blue force is stationed in a semi-circle 25 units away from its flag in the upper right corner of the battlefield. Red s tactic -which derives solely from the personality found by the GA to be best suited for this mission-is to exploit a few red agents at the front of the advancing red force, using them to split apart blue s forces in order to temporarily weaken the center region of blue s defense. 

What is most surprising about many of the runs using GA-derived personalities is that the red force appears to task different agents with different missions, despite the fact that each red agent is endowed with exactly the same personality Thus, a higher-level tactic - such as use the two forward positioned agents to weaken the enemy s center - emerges out of the collective interactions of the same low-level decision rules i.e., an apparently centralized order induced by decentralized local dynamics.
