Bots

In the current game version (0.26.1) they are able to do the following:

• build & research
• colonize new planets, up to a total of 20
• collect asteroids and debris fields
• spy and survey enemies (bots and players)
• save fleets
• attack (bots and players)

The Idea

Bots are a simple addition to the basic gameplay and are added primarily to have enemies for beginners and casual players. They will mostly behave like regular casual players.

What they cannot and are not able do:

• message with users (in development)
• trade
• colonize planets larger than 380 fields

Aggression

Bots have an internal aggro counter and they will not attack Miners.

The internal aggro will increase on attack, depending on how much fleet has been destroyed and how many resources have been raided. The bots will also scan surrounding players. Once they find combat fleet, they will also add internal aggression points.

Once they have aggression, the points will decrease by 1% each week. Other than that, if they successfully destroy enemies, the aggression will be lowered based on the fleet they shredded and resources they raided.
