Hi everyone! BOID Update 4 (r4 for short) is now live. It adds significant improvements to the AI and now you can play against bots on any map - even a user map. There is a complex algorithm behind the AI, and we'd love to get some feedback on it.
Building upon the workshop integration, Mokus also added a thumbs up/down button after user-made map matches.
