Bots

Could we have a commander option to buy a group of 5 units (riflemen or grenadiers) who are directly controlled by the commander and do not move unless told to.

They could also follow a specific unit if ordered to and could enter a tank as well

I think this would really help the game become a bit more fast paced, and it would give people something to kill in almost empty maps

 

bots are planned
maybe even very soon

 

Mmm... but wouldn't bots just fill up a team if it were losing? Would be great in some cases, horrific in others...

 

Jeep bots ftw (Don't worry its an inside joke)

 

there are bots ingame atm

they just don't do mutch apart from randomly running forward

 

The plan, as far as I remember, was something like this. One of the devs said something on the old forums along the lines of

"Bots are planned, and will be implemented via people (commander?) purchasing them and ordering them around as if you were their squad leader."

I'm paraphrasing, of course. So bots are planned to be purchased by anyone... I can't remember how they would be purchased or what the unit of "currency" for purchasing might be. (probably resources, but only the comm should control that) At any rate, these, like airplanes, are very far off in the to-do list, I THINK. Far be it for me to predict a dev's actions.

 

Their wasa thrread in the old foumrs. It is planned, its just that balancing has tanken programing time away.... something like that.

 

yeah a small squad of soldiers would be cool, kinda like infanty units in Rise of Nations

 

The Buttery Lobster: You are quoting Krenzo himself. And I'm all for the idea.

 

Still planed or canceled? :D You know bots developing for nice mods has two stages of development:
1. planed
2. canceled
:D
...and say "It's not true" :D

 

Make them cyborg implanted people with MG or ML arms.

 

nah, just put them in exosuits

 

I say they should be like humanoid mobile MG and ML turrets. Since they are controlled.

 

the strog have returned.

cyborgs will replace players as they take over the map.

p.s.good idea
