| binary solo said: What's the reason for having bots? To make it easier for everyone to get at least some kills? What's the actual max number of combat units in a game? If you get 1-14 AI units per "team" then up to 20v20 seems pretty good. I can see advantages to having a mix of live players and bots and having a relatively low number of live players per match. However the AI needs to be on par with the skill of the players, and at least visually it needs to be impossible for players to know whether the character they're aiming at is a live player or a bot. |
The bots are not meant to replace players. They are there to help with the flow of the combat and direct people to objectives. They are not going to be anywhere near the skill of even low skilled human players.
It's a nice blend of FPS and MOBA elements and I can't wait to see how it turns out. The majority of the action is not even going to be with the bots, it will be the 12 players on the map bouncing and wall running and double jumping around, plus their Titans. What will be interesting is the skill level of the AI Titans. You can have them patrol an area or defend an objective.
