A nice bot mix to use in this map is:
Cluster
Angry
Reaper
Evilpixie
Tactobot....

Well, it's rated just a tad better than the George Bush map....

C'mon guys, this stinks. Rate the map, not the bots....

In a case like this where the bots have such a large effect on the playability of the map, the bots sort of become a part of the map.

I just conclude that the botmakers can do better....

And yes I want the last word on this....

You people clearly don't like this map as much as me. To me it's one of the most enjoyable maps (Without prejudice ;-) ). I had to tweak the preferences though quite intensively before this map made any sense. The map is so large that two problems occur: the bot's don't understand it and play foolishly (especially in the beginning) and human players are just outrun by the bots in the end game. I fiddled around a bit and found the following settings (preferences) and bots the most entertaining:

Prefs: -Computer player speed: fastest
-Country border width: thinnest
Game options: -Use cards
-Transfer cards to conquering player
-card sequence: 5, 10, 15...
-Continent bonuses go up 20% every round
-Turn time limit 50 seconds (with touchpad, 40 secs for mouse)
Use this bot mix: Cluster, Angry, Reaper, EvilPixie and Tactobot


I win about every second game now, which is okay for botgames....
Every games takes about 30 minutes
Reaper generally uses the full 50 seconds and sometimes even a lot more! Be patient with this bot... The other bots require 10 secs or less, so the time you have to wait is okay...
