Love them or hate them, but bots are important when server population is low. We all know their AI is far from optimal. But they also differ substantially in their performance. Compare for example the Reavers Acca and Horta, or the Shadowblades Dispater and Consus.
Thus its a matter of chance if the bots on your team are good or poor. Playing supportchars with many bots on your team is impossible, when Horta the Reaver bot that you are healing has the following stats: TelekineticHold 4, TelekineticPush 2, Sprint 1, BoneArmor 1 and her only attribute is Wisdom 1...
Glim of BH then showed me how to edit the bots (thanks!), and I did so extensively to try to get:
1. Evenly skilled bots to prevent imbalancing.
2. Bots with as many points as human players (50 skill points + 10 attribute points) to reduce the imbalance after teamswitching players.
I tried to balance them, and still make them unique, taking into account that Bots don´t handle certain skills very well (for example Taunt and Soultrap). Also they can´t handle any of the 10th skills either (Cure, PP, BC, Gash and Gate).
Now... I´ve tested them quite a lot and done some tweaking the last days, and now I´m looking for YOUR opinion. I´ll have the server up for most of the weekend, please log on and have a go. If you think that any bot stands out as being substantially better or worse than the rest, I´d appreciate your feedback.

"It is easier for a man to destroy the light inside of him, then the darkness all around him." - Which would you pick? - Some would pick light, others darkness... Can an imbalance be made?

I always like playing against your bots as they offer a tougher challenge. If bots can offer a tougher challenge. I give 2 thumbs up to your bots and wish they could be downloadable so we can all but them into our servers. failing that It would be good to no how to edit the rascals

Tokuranda must be Ulfur yes  And I agree with Hullu, those names are awesome. I'm very happy to see the Shadowblade Ellerina and the Witch Hyps along with the other. |
