# Bots — Casual Mode Fill
|
|
|
|
## Rules
|
|
|
|
- Each casual match picks **2 of the 3 races** at random
|
|
- Bots fill empty slots until the match reaches **7v7** (14 total)
|
|
- Once 7v7 is reached, **no more bots are added** — additional human players replace bots as they join
|
|
- Bots are removed when real players join their team slot
|
|
|
|
## Why 7v7 Minimum
|
|
|
|
- Ensures the match feels active even at low population
|
|
- Avoids the ghost-town feeling of a 25v25 map with 3 players
|
|
- Bots are not added beyond 7v7 so human players always dominate strategy
|
|
|
|
## Implementation Notes (not yet built)
|
|
|
|
- Bots use simplified AI: thrust toward nearest enemy, shoot when in range
|
|
- Bot difficulty: intentionally easy (this is casual — bots are filler, not challenge)
|
|
- Bot names: procedurally generated callsigns so they're not obviously bots in the HUD
|
|
- Server tracks human vs bot count per team and manages swap-in on player join
