Add maps for playing against bots.

• World 2.0
• Egypt
• etc

Specifics/Details:

• Someone should make it so you can play more maps with the bots.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• more fun
• member retention
• help people learn more maps
• They could archive this thread as "implemented."

What do you think about "Road to Singapore"?

[2dimes]

I don't see any maps that start with R as an option.

i never really gave much thought to using bots for learning maps but now that 2dimes brought it up, it seems like a pretty good idea. i think CC needs to expand the number of maps you can play bot games on.

My comment was completely irrelevant. Happens in the best families.

Hug?

Hug?

My cardiologist says I need more of those.

Meet me at the gas station in Walsh, AB. I don't think I can go further east this year.

Before you hop in your truck, could you check to see about adding World 2.0 and a couple of Egypt maps to bot play?

Is it even possible to add additional maps to bot games? mad777 says it's too difficult to make simple changes here, for reasons too difficult for anyone to understand.

Sorry Duke. I was not trying to chase you around. I'll try to remind you on the weekend.

The weekend is getting close.

Also I might go to Winnipeg soonish for a memorial service. Closer than Walsh if you want to collect that hug.

Shameless quadpostbump.

Does anyone know why some maps are not available for bot games?

It seems almost as weird as expecting they are reading this forum.

The AI that controls the bots is really primitive. It can't handle the more complicated maps. Can't understand one-way portals, or collection bonuses, or bombardment, or any of a long list of other flourishes that the fancy maps use. So, it's restricted to a curated list of simple maps.

That being said, there are simple maps that people have proposed should be added to the list. Last time I tried to get them approved I got nowhere, but it's been a year, maybe I'll give it another shot. Thanks for reminding me.

Several more years, Doodle earth those nifty Egypt maps and World 2.0 have remained simple enough for the bits to maneuver.
