Bots are artificial intelligence software designed to play in the place of a human. They are programmed to analyse scenarios in the game and come up with the adequate response.

They are also programmed to choose paths in which they will attack. The way to do it is called WayPointing (Read more: here).


The bots files can be found in Soldat\bots. Each bot has a respective file. Those may be edited by right clicking and opening with notepad.
