i always add the bots with the 'realbot add' command

is there any way i can get better data to help you hunt down the bug? any other debugging output files?

i was also wondering if it could be caused by the bots who have me as a leader getting too far away. it looks like your leader code simply orders the bots under him to go to the node he is at or just left. if thats the case, then ordering bots to go to nodes that are no where near them might cause trouble, unless you already accounted for that and simply told the bots to find a path to that node instead of going to that node directly.

again, not sure why this would be the case only when more bots are added. perhaps it can crash when there are only a few bots running, but the chances of it happening just increase when more bots are added. but it crashes for me so very quickly when i have 19 bots, and i went several rounds with 5 bots.

anyway, i have to go to work now so i cant test any more. probably wont have time to test all weekend actually, but i can check this thread while at work and try to answer any other questions you might have.
