A.I. Matches
Whether testing out a new unit or experimenting with army configurations, there are times when you want to start quickly jump into a battle. Alliance battles and custom matches are great options, if another player is around. Now, you have the option to play against an A.I. opponents.
This option has been added to the Custom Match screen. On the main screen, you will now see the option to “Create,” “Join,” or “Play Bots.” After tapping on “Play Bots” you will have the opportunity to select a map and change your army loadout. Tap “Create Match” to begin the battle.
I think the bots need more improvement, also can I watch the replays provided with a match against bots to see how it deals things. Right now, the only units it spits out are shockwave troopers, riflemen, harvester and strong-arm turrets. I'd probably suggest to give the bot unlimited credits and that it spits out cheap units first before mixing in more expensive ones. They would aim at random pads and occasionally harvesters. Right now, fighting a bot feels like I'm fighting a bronze player. Would like to stack up with a cheating gold league player, who would throw units here and there non-stop and has no focus on counters.

The bots are terribly weak. Both in levels, and in artificial intelligence. The way they are now I would honestly describe them as pretty much useless.

They're weak in levels, I just hope that they fix it, not by making it smarter, but faster. Like the time it takes you to pump out 2 units, it would pump out 3 or 4 units. Those units would be random and would aim at your units, the pads or your harvesters. Also the bot should not order harvesters so it can throw out tech after 3 minutes (its going to run out of tiberium spamming units). At this rate, it only brought out a sandstorm and spammed pit-bulls right after. Instead of it having a 6 random card deck, it should have every GDi/Nod unit it its deck. It would then throw out the cheaper ones then minutes later the more expensive ones. Sometimes, I act like a bot, sending the wrong units into their counters to try and destroy the enemy unit. Seen militants sacrifice themselves to a chem buggy? My opponent must have been rolling on the floor laughing for that.

I really hope you are joking, the last thing I want the AI do is cheat. I want it to represent a human player as much as possible so we can test strategies. You wouldn't learn anything if you have to play a different meta versus bots.
