Default Re: Bots & Bandwidth - 04-07-2006

bots still use bandwidth, upload bandwidth from the server to the clients. this naturally goes up some each bot. upload bandwidth is the limiting factor of hosting servers on most home connections, since it's typically much slower than your download bandwidth. fortunately if you're only playing with 1 friend or so you can probably run a decent number of bots, since it's only got 1 real client to send the gamestate to, instead of multiple clients that each get the same data.
