Playing solo versus bots

Post by XavierFRA » Wed Jan 05, 2011 6:39 am

Hi all,

I'm new to Lux and think it's a fantastic game! So far I've only been playing versus bots (ie. not online) and figured I should first get good at that before I try to play with other humans. For example let's say I'm playing versus 5 Reapers. I always get killed quite quickly in such games and never managed to win a single game (can anyone?) So my question is: do they behave towards each other in exactly the same way as they do towards me? In other words, are they aware that I'm a human player and attacking me more often as a result? I've read somewhere that Reapers can form alliances or something like that, what does that actually mean? Can I form an alliance with one of them or do they only do so with each other? Sorry these are probably all newbies questions but I could not find the answer anywhere...

Thanks!
XavierFRA

Reapers team on humans. Occasionally 1 will ask for an alliance.

Thanks, that's what I was suspecting. Is there a way to stop Reapers (or BotOfDoom) forming alliances? If not, what do you think is the hardest way to play versus 5 bots while still being fair (ie. not treating the human differently from the bots)

Select allow other players to join and
uncheck advertise game internet wide
then type "reaper alone" into the chat (w/o quotation marks) and post it.
this should stop reaper teaming

For bot of doom doc the same, but type
bod team off instead.
