Soooo there's actually one really cool thing you can do: run additional copies of Bolo with "brains" like aIndy, Brainwave or so on which act as actual players (sometimes a lot better than actual players haha) ... This was another really fascinating feature of Bolo that many other multiplayer games never had. So you can have simulated multiplayer! Worth a try!

I know... but it's not the same as hearing the screams of despair as your arch-tank-enemy gets destroyed by your cleverly laid mine from across the office floor! :-)
Oh yeah, very true indeed! First time I played was at a course at a university. Was amazing energy having ~8-person Bolo matches. Unforgettable experience tbh :)
