European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) offered challenging Grid Wars competition during CERN Spring Campus in Riga. To manage complexity, the authors treated the game as a multiagent system where a team of agents tries to grow their army and fight against the opponent. The group of agents collaborated to follow the optimal collective strategy and maximize cooperative goal. Due to the growing size of the team after each step, possible cooperative action combinations dramatically increased. As a solution, this paper introduces an announcement based policy shaping method for decentralized multiagent system coordination. The method is validated by demonstrating experimental results and by winning the Grid Wars competition.
