Abstract

Diplomacy is a 7-player game that requires coordination between players in order to achieve victory. Its huge search space makes existing search algorithms useless. In this paper we present Darkblade, a player designed as a Multi-Agent System that uses potential fields to calculate moves and evaluate board positions. We tested our player against other recent players. Although there are some limitations, the results are promising.
