Bots for OpenRA Red Alert!


In addition to the standard ”Rush AI, Normal, Turtle AI and Navy AI” you get 5 more bots to fight against.

Battle bots that use engineers, thieves, medics and technicians and even Tanya! They have all distinct attack forces with a broader selection of units and smarter use of atomic bomb… All of them expand which makes them much more resiliant on larger maps and late games.

The bots beat the default AIs on regular basis. There are no ”bonus” for these bots -only tweaked base building, unit building and economic handling for maximum skirmish fun!

Install by replace the ”AI.yaml” located in ”C:\Program Files\OpenRA\mods\ra\rules” (or similiar folder). Dont forget to copy and save the original file!

Thanks abc..

I understand it might be some fibbling with files as you cannot play online while have the bots installed.

How to add these bots to a specific map?
