Research on game balance maintenance by cooperative game theory

Abstract

In multiplayer games, some players have a great advantage, and one-sided development by that player may occur, making the game uninteresting. To prevent this situation, inferior players may form a cooperative relationship when playing with each other. This keeps the balance between players. However, it is difficult to identify situations that deserve a partnership between computer-operated players. Therefore, it is unlikely that the game will be balanced by cooperative relationships. In this research, we propose a method to judge the situation that deserves a cooperative relationship by using the solution of the core of cooperative game theory.
