Bots

Limited bot support

Darkest Hour: Europe '44-'45 has a Practice mode where you can load maps locally and spawn bots. However, official maps generally don't include "pathing" required for bots to navigate, and the bots are very limited in their capabilities. They're not suited for regular playing, and only good for target practice and testing/debugging.

NOTE: There are no plans to support fully-fledged "bot play" at the moment.

Spawning bots

In Practice mode, open console (` by default) and type these commands in order, replacing values in brackets (don't include brackets):

1. addbots <amount>.
2. spawnbots <team index> <amount> [distance].

Where:

• <team index> is the team for which you want to spawn the bots (0 — Axis, 1 — Allies);
• <amount> is the number of bots you want to add;
• [distance] is the distance from player in meters (optional).

If bots die and you want to spawn them again, you can skip the addbots command.

Example

Running these commands will spawn 32 bots for each team with Axis team spawning 100 meters away:

addbots 64
debugspawnbots 0 32 100
debugspawnbots 1 32
