Hi admin,

I d like to suggest that you (or the server) runs some 200-500 untagged bot countries that work on some very transparent AI:

1. retal if possible
2. damage retal if not.
3. explore otherwise

It ll certainly make it more fun. plus, some of us might hid amongst the untagged, and get Huge retal :P

Hm; provide us with nicely commented pseudo code for such a bot, and I'm sure we can get something like this implemented quicker.

AI's are complicated you know.

This is on the to-do pile.

Finally did the signature thing.

Maybe RDs bot-code can be used.

Patience: Yep, I'm with ELK and Marshal.

ELKronos: Patty is more hairy.

Gallery: K at least I am to my expectations now.

LadyGrizz boobies is fine

few hundredtechers, few hundred farmers, few hundred cashers. all can be different govs

they all buy/sell from the market

they have a random factor of trying to retal if possible

Randomly fail/success with retals.

different military builds. aka all jetters, normal, all tanks

Random factor of whether it sucides on a country that hits it.

It can make Random LGs/Missile attacks on who ever it likes even if its not provoked.

The sky is the limit here.

IF something like this is implemented, I'd like the bots to have a far lower land return rate than player countries. This shouldn't turn into a game where everyone just hits bots.

It's a nice way to get more land into the game... but if I didn't want to interact with other people, I'd create a clone of this game myself and just play it against bots on my computer.

I think quite the opposite

ull have nubs that only farm the bots, and get crazy landfat

then it's PS time

Or the bots retal you back...and you won't know which one will retal back, or how much it will retal...or even if it will retal "properly"...

I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

Any bots we made should be able to retal.

They could all be put into an alliance called Bot!

Oh and I know a few people who were involved in the AI engine for UT and CS briefly. Maybe they could lend a hand (for free) with a quick and easy AI for this game!

In the mean time, the devs each have to run 10 countries on alliance with various build "personalities".

I suspect it will be fairly obvious which countries are bots. There's only going to be a limited amount of variation in play style and it's not like they'll be tagged in real alliances.
