Online Bot Teams ?

[Xavier]

While player vs player has always been a focus, Bots would be a nice option to have in basic schemes, Multiple Players vs Bots or Bots and Multiple Players in a free for all. we will have this in Worms W.M.D?

I would really like to know this as well. Quite often it was a feature included in local multiplayer, but somehow lacking in online multiplayer. A.I. is already in the game, so pleeeeease have this finally included for online play.

Hey guys,

At the moment, bot teams are only planned for the local multiplayer. If we see enough demand in the community it may be something that we can look into

[Sandling]

Thank you for the reply! I will send word out to friends too then, some have primarely been playing Hedgewars purely for the ability to have bots included in online multiplayer.

Bad news, the same was said for the Worms world party remastered and nothing was done, do not understand because they do not want to put something that can really help new players.
play with a friend against the bots much help friends who are learning. (Friends who live far away)

Online bot teams would be cool!

Ouch they did? :/ - I really enjoyed playing Worms wayback, local, on the Amiga adding a few bot teams to make the outcome of battles a bit more intense and random, giving them silly names and difficulty settings (as well as voices etc). I really really miss that.

I agree it would be better for teaching friends. I've played with 4 or 5 of my friends and it's quite difficult to teach them properly without completely annihilating them, haha.

I am 100% for npc teams/worms online, but I'd prefer to see "specialty" NPC worms with special powers rather than normal NPC worms. (vampire worms, zombie worms, terminator worms, etc... with different abilities and perks)

Yes, the Worms games were sadly lacking the ability to throw in AI worms in a multiplayer match. I may not even bother with this game if they don't make that an option. I'll be watching and waiting...

If the game has a nicely sized player-base/community, it won't necessarily need online AI for when you can't find a player. But then again, it will actually be a good thing if AI were implimented, because in 2v2 games it's a big problem when your teammate leaves and you are left with no one, it would be better to have your teammate's worms assigned to an AI to play with you.

Online CPU/AI teams is an absolute must!! so many people wanted this there were petitions that went up in the last 2 worms games in the series for this feature! not everyone wants to play against only players online, co-op online is such a wanted feature!!

just add the ability to add them in un-ranked online matches only!!!

I'd love to see a bot option added. Co-op against bots would be a huge selling feature for me.

I prefer to play with friends against bots. Games that allow it have friendlier communities.

I also agree that it would be better for teaching friends. please add bots in online mode.

I really don't understand how T17 do this every single game for the past 3 games now and 6 or so years every year? these same threads pop up every time a new worms game comes out and they say the same thing "well if there is enough demand for it" errrrr.... yes clearly there is... just add it in already..... Otherwise you'll have the same thing happen with this game that's happened to the other worms games, no one plays online....
