Utility AI is one approach to help solve it, by calculating how useful that action is based on the current context. We look at how it works, some simple calculations and how games ranging from @Electronic Arts's 'The Sims', all the way to @Creative Assembly's 'Total War' series, adopt Utility AI in their games.
