Just so you know...
0.8.8 final has a lot of bots because the game at this point has a lot of FFA maps, but don't worry. 0.9.0 and/or OA3 will have way less bots because there will be less maps, so we might as well work on just a few bots.
It's better that way, less work to worry about.
(The SP of that topic will suffer a huge overhaul after 0.8.8 is released)
