Neutral game training >| Kaiser

I don't know how this could really work, but players who are interested in actually getting better in this game should be able to fight against bot players? ones that have different ranks of difficulty so that players could train themselves without facing the embarrassment of losing every fight they have.

This idea, if assembled, could train new players where they could learn to beat high leveled bots to then use that information in game.

This idea would also be a good pass-time to people as if bored they could attempt to beat higher ranked bot players.

Like I said, I don't know how this could really work with coding and shit (I'm clueless) but it would be a good game feature and improved content if added.

But SP rewards must be disabled or very little in these games.

Why? In the days before computers, when you played games it was with other people. If you wanted to get better, you kept playing, and most likely you lost, alot, but.... if you watched how the other player beat you, and learned their strategies then you became a better player. The problem with Bots, is they have to be programmed to do a certain strategy, or strategies and they will do the same thing every time, a pattern, like you find in shooter games or any game with Bots. With playing against real people, there is always a certain amount of unpredictability of what they will do. This keeps the game fun, never boring. There are players who have a typical pattern they will run, because it works, ie: they typically win that way, and sometimes the strategy they pick will determine how they play. Such as whether they are primarily offensive or defensive, or primarily focused on expansion. The right mix of all three is what wins you games, and I don't see how Bots could help someone learn that. Part of becoming a winner is losing, but if you learn something from your loss, then you didn't truly lose, you were educated.
