    Three things I've noticed about your AI. First and foremost - load outs! Just played a match with an AI fixer that had no repair item equipped. That's inexcusable evend for a paid beta. Second - they don't path around objects without running into them. A small method that gauges a CPA from obstructions could fix this, happy to help with the code block. Lastly, the names should be from a list rather than randomized. Current system allows for 2 issues: 1) people can guess which are the bots and save them for last or exploit the pathing issue. 2) people can choose names that @ lower levels mimic the AI further exploiting the flaws since players may mistakenly place them lower on the priority list.
    Other than that the game is great. Will be perfect if you change the infamy gain\loss system to merit based rather than fixed win\loss

    bots have names like this: <action><animal><random number>
    and they also suck at the game.

    And the devs say that after First Flood, the bots never come back.

    "The devs say?" Is there a reason for us to believe otherwise?

    The actual rule is that you get gradually less bots until you reach 250 infamy and then you don't have them as cannonfodder anymore, unless you drop below 250 again. They are there to help you learn the game.

    So we can say for certain that when I get matched with a LoveableMonkey2359 with 1520 Infamy he/she is a real person?

    Yes. There is not a single bot over 250 infamy. Ever.

    This is off topic, take it to the appropriate thread.

    That's actually quite realistic, believe it or not, you'll meet fixers with no remote repairing ability :)
