Ridiculous bots
Posted: Fri Sep 16, 2022 5:32 pm
Hey guys, I'm just writing this post to ask the devs to soften the aggressiveness of the bots a little. I played Red Alert as a kid and the bots weren't that aggressive. Now I come back to OpenRA every two years or so just to delete it after several days because it feels like I was racing without really putting any thought to what I was doing (the thing that you usually do in a strategy game). I set two bots, a large map, and after several minutes I've got like 600 kills while the bots have around 300, because they are busy sending waves of whatever they produce on me. Speaking of which, humans are unable to deploy buildings as fast as bots. And are unable to operate units as fast as bots.We need movement, we need to press a key, we need to move the map, the bots do it all at the same time. How are we supposed to compete with that? Sure, you can beat bots if you are some hardcore OpenRA gamer but most people don't want to get to that level. That level isn't fun. Remember that word?
