Any news or maybe a test version for today ? :)
"..Time will tell.."

A proper release would not be proper without a few delays, would it? ;)

I've been working really hard to get Fransbot ready for the new OpenRA playtest release, but that mission failed... Oh well!

Fransbot is already fully playable, but I'm running it in my own development environment with all my testing, debugging and logging tools, so it's not quite ready for a simple download-and-install yet.

Right now I'm hunting down some annoying performance spikes and lag.

The project is not really a secret. If you want, just send me a PM and I'll give you access to the GitHub repository, or I can send you the bot files if you're comfortable installing the bots yourself.

Feel free to add me on Discord (hanging out at openra server) for a chat. :)

Hello, Go ahead and include them.

The Rearm-bot that ís under development cannot be included in a maps however. It is/will be a standalone mod to RA.

Yes, fransbot will never claim to be the "best bot" and it can sometimes be rather easy to beat, -especially odd personalities/doctrines. Its about having nice experience and play against something else than the normal bots but under same fair conditions.

I made a fork "Fransbot Fusion" which includes the best tactics of all of the fransbots (except civilian,zombies etc) and is optimised for toxic play.you can check it at my maps site.

Hello, Cool project! While the rule changes are not my cup of tea I think (after one game) its worth have a look at for others and a nice change from my normal boring, vanilla games. :)
