Otherwise it would require all 5 agents gathering there, expending their magical abilities and investing a lot before actually seeing a reward. (which is unlikely to happen) This is the key - if we had machine learning techniques that allowed it to reason at the level of "what happens if I kill this?", we could explore more of the interesting state space more quickly. Perhaps there are advances in intrinsic reward systems that allow this.
