Abstract
This research is focused on creation of a herding algorithm suitable for a large map area which will be used in an agent-based simulation of an ancient Celtic society development. Algorithm is designed in order to find suitable place for grazing of animals in a satisfactory time on a map composed of more than 700 000 cells. Parameters of the algorithm are adjusted due to the results of a statistical research. Simulation is created in the AnyLogic multimethod simulation modeling tool. Virtualized server is used for experiments because of a complexity of the simulation.
