N2 - This work explores the evolution of a population of generalised tit-for-tat (TFT) strategies playing an N-player prisoner's dilemma on a regular lattice. We show that the generalised TFT can be robust to invasion by defectors in most cases. However, interestingly, the TFT strategies which are highly tolerant perform worse than totally cooperative strategies. Furthermore, although, the TFT strategies can-not guarantee the promotion of cooperation, the less tolerant TFT strategies obtain a stable and higher level of cooperation against defectors and populations containing both defectors and cooperators.
