I recently purchased NS2 (thanks to TB and his coverage) and the game really does look promising.

now my question as said in the title is, do you guys plan to add some AI into the game for offline/private games?
I dont know if it allready IS implimented yet since I havent downloaded the Beta yet.


I havent had the chance to Download the game yet (because I have a limmited DL a month and I plan to save it for the upcoming release for GW2, but I do plan to get this going asap)

I had a quick rummage though the forums and didnt see anything reguarding this yet. if there has been, sorry for putting it up again. I'm just curious

    There was some stuff done regarding bots by Onos_Ate_Me I think. Where he had simple bots that responded to orders, but I'm not sure what became of it. The main focus for the devs is shipping NS2 v1.0 and the multiplayer aspect of it, maybe it's something for after v1.0, but that isn't set in stone.

    Also welcome Fartbake hope you have fun playing the game :)

    I think hallucination can really benefit from some AI

    awesome thanks for the welcome and swift reply =D

    the focus on the Multiplayer side of thing is compleatly understandable. I hope you do consider adding some AI into the game further down the line. its always nice to just muck about with friends and AI (that and I am not THAT much of a constant PvP kind of player) and I'm sure I'm not the only person out here thats similar.


    I'm glad to see it has been thought of. looking forward to testing this game for you guys, and I hope something can come out of this sometime in the future =)

    if you turn on cheats you can add bots :) they are pretty basic though.

    pull down the console (~) tilde key.

    type in : cheats 1


    then type : addbot

    there is more info on the ns2 wiki.

    Even better, in case no one wants to be commander, make a basic commander AI that focuses on keeping the resources and upgrades up. Also if a commander is trolling and does nothing at all there needs to be a way to remove him.

    You can do this now by pressing "v" and then 1 to votekick.

    sadly, even using Cheats 1 and addbot does work. but they have 0 pathing ability and you literally have to micro them around every corner and down every hallway. They are not so much ai as they are running mannikins. The only purpose they honeslty serve right now is something to shoot at while playing by yourself :'( hopefully they get some real A.I. bots in release.
