In a multi-agent environment, where the outcomes of one's actions change dynamically because they are related to the behavior of other beings, it becomes difficult to make an optimal decision about how to act. Although game theory provides normative solutions for decision making in groups, how such decision-making strategies are altered by experience is poorly understood. These adaptive processes might resemble reinforcement learning algorithms, which provide a general framework for finding optimal strategies in a dynamic environment. Here we investigated the role of prefrontal cortex (PFC) in dynamic decision making in monkeys. As in reinforcement learning, the animal's choice during a competitive game was biased by its choice and reward history, as well as by the strategies of its opponent. Furthermore, neurons in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) encoded the animal's past decisions and payoffs, as well as the conjunction between the two, providing signals necessary to update the estimates of expected reward. Thus, PFC might have a key role in optimizing decision-making strategies.

Generating examples of protein folding can involve years of painstaking crystallography, so there are few data to learn from, and there are too many possible solutions to predict structures from amino-acid sequences using a brute-force search. The puzzle shares some key features with Go, however. Both involve well-known rules and have a well-described goal. In the longer term, such algorithms might be applied to similar tasks in quantum chemistry, materials design and robotics.
Strategy and tactics games by their very nature require deep thought and careful consideration, and many gamers these days often find it hard to embark on epic multi-hour campaigns in a single sitting. Planning a multi-turn offensive in a 4X game like Civilization or outfitting your party with optimal gear in a Strategy RPG like Fire Emblem: Three Houses can take much trial-and-error and many of us can only grab small windows of gaming time.
If you happen to love Norse mythology or epic fantasies full of consequence and deft storytelling, then look no further than The Banner Saga. The first game sets the scene beautifully with intriguing cast, gripping tale and absolutely stunning artwork and soundtrack to transport you to a world filled with plenty of danger and surprises. Subtle refinements in the sequel make it a series which just gets better with each entry, and the development of characters, gradual progression of the narrative and multiple choices presented throughout the trilogy lead to multiple satisfying endings with fitting outcomes in the third and final game.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a must have for Switch-owning fans of turn-based tactical games. More importantly, such is the style and depth on offer that it's also ideal for those that haven't played much of the genre, for whom 'XCOM' sounds like a silly acronym from a war movie. It introduces the concept in the best possible way, and then utilises its own ideas for what becomes a smart and - at times - deliciously challenging experience. Even if you don't actually like the Rabbids, this game - and its familiar Mario cast and setting - is so good that even Ubisoft's mascots become likeable. Well, almost.
I love civilisation on the switch. The only problem is I put it on with the intention of playing it for a couple of hours and before I know it, its the middle of the night and over 10 hours have passed.
To me Tiny Metal is the perfect strategy game, I guess it's because I have always been such a big fan of the Advance Wars series. I am typically not a big fan of turn based strategy but there is just something about that formula that really works for me.
The switch has an awesome library of strategy games. In addition to these there are several other quality titles such as OTTTD(dirt cheap tower defense on sale right now), Chroma Squad(Just came out, but has really good reviews), Hard West, Valkyria Chronicles, Worms WMD, Sleep Tight and Pixeljunk monsters. All the games I mentioned go on sale once in awhile and you can get them at a good price. Chroma Squad just came out, but it's one I'd assume if you're interested it'll be cheap in a few months if you wanna wait.
I am not the biggest fan of strategy games but I recently bought Dreamworld heist and oh boy how good is that game (and way bigger than I was expecting). From that list I also have kingdom battle and is a very good game. I would like to try into the breach but I know I will suck at it
Funnily enough i only know Fire Emblem from Advance Wars (both Intelligent Systems) and AW2 was the first and still one of the best games I had on my GBA.After playing out FE: Fates and Revelations on my 3DS I'll def be getting Three Houses but i have to say that Steamworld Heist is an amazing game and is definitely a must-buy!!
I just wish Nintendo would release Advance Wars, or any Wars game(like Famicom Wars, super Famicom Wars, or Gameboy wars) on Switch. Not in 1080p 3D with some choppy frame rate, but whatever combination of sprites or low resolution polygons can run at 60fps. I love all the old GBA and DS wars games, so just get M2 to emulate them on Switch. A new game would be incredible, but ports would be good enough!I still haven't tried Element yet. I want to play it though. If it goes on sale I'll buy it immediately.
@Mince Yeah I really enjoyed that one and they have a bit of a different feel, but if you were to buy just one I would probably say the newest one is the best as it feels like a more well rounded version of the original and it is easy to get into if you are new. I would say it's all on you, if you are a fan of Advance Wars and think you would buy both I would recommend starting with the original, but if you are unsure about it and doubt your continued interest just go for the new one.
@Roronoa11 Wargroove no question! Stellar game, better art style, way more replay value, much more like Advance Wars. I am baffled at how much NL liked either Tiny Metal game. The claim that is "beats Advance Wars at it's own game" that the reviewer made sounds like a drug induced illusion that made me disregard their entire review.
I have always differentiated strategy games like Civilisation and tactical games which are more RPG oriented.Also for some reason I have never seen Steamworld Heist as a strategy game, I would only sort it in the "pure awesomeness" category.
@Namelessd Im with ya on the first TM. Ibhave a buddy who felt the same, but took the plunge (it is cheap) on the sequel, and won't shut up about it now. Its apparently a lot better, and has reviewed quite well.
On my Switch, I have: Civilization VI, Tiny Metal, Tiny Metal: Full Metal Rumble, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, WarGroove, SteamWorld Heist, and others. I like them all. I'm currently playing Tiny Metal: Full Metal Rumble right now. I'm actually typing this during my opponents turn. I've 100% beaten the Story Campaign Mode, and unlocked everything. Now I'm in the middle of trying to 100% Skirmish Mode. But I still play the others. I'm a big Civilization fan. On PC too. In fact, I have part 2, 4, 5, and 6, all installed on my PC right now. Yes, I still play 2 all of these many years later. But I play the others too. I even had the DS version as well. But yeah, I like Strategy Games. I even had Chess on my Switch, and Phone, and PC, and actual board games.
Mutant Year Zero looks horrible on Switch. The absolute garbage visual fidelity actually effects your gameplay too, so buyer beware. NL will just ignore that kind of thing if there's an AMAZON LINK they can toss on it.
VC4 is gold. My one real issue with the original was the lack of incentive to use different soldiers in my squad once I found a nice balance, since the side missions in that one all seem to revolve around the core group of characters. But the Fire Emblem-esque Squad Stories constantly incentivize the player to change up squad composition to unlock new stories. I also love actually learning about these people. By the end, the entire giant cast of side characters in VC4 felt far more fully realized to me than most of the soldiers in the original game.
I didn't like Mario & Rabbids, although I'm normally a fan of this genre. Not gonna lie, mainly because I dislike the idea of Mario and Rabbids being in the same game. Rabbids are just dumb. But the pace of the game was also extremely slow and boring.
Why isn't south park fractured but whole on there? I never cared for the advance wars games growing up but the south park game made me a fan of the genre and opened doors for me to check out fire emblem and mario rabbids....been highly considering xcom for a minute
Great list and I saw a few here I'll have to check out. You guys 100% missed on not including Hard West on this list. Game has great X-Com style strategy with a western-devilish theme. Must play for strategy fans.
At some point I was going to have to do a raycast to locate obstacle volumes. Perhaps I could try raycasting radially around each point (pictured below)? Unfortunately it was prone to missing the obstacle entirely. The accuracy of this solution scaled directly with the number of raycasts I did per point on the path, and that felt terribly inefficient. 2ff7e9595c
