Abstract
With the rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs), LLM-based autonomous agents have shown the potential to function as digital employees, such as digital analysts, teachers, and programmers. In this paper, we develop an application-level testbed based on the open-source strategy game "Unciv", which has millions of active players, to enable researchers to build a "data flywheel" for studying human-like agents in the "digital players" task. This "Civilization"-like game features expansive decision-making spaces along with rich linguistic interactions such as diplomatic negotiations and acts of deception, posing significant challenges for LLM-based agents in terms of numerical reasoning and long-term planning. Another challenge for "digital players" is to generate human-like responses for social interaction, collaboration, and negotiation with human players.
