Strategy Tips

  • Role assignment: With 4 bots, assign roles — 2 attackers (rush enemy flag), 1 defender (guard your flag), 1 support (mid-field control and flag returns).
  • Flag carrier escort: When a bot picks up the flag, other bots should escort it back. Track the flag status in game state.
  • Golden apples: Use them when your health is low during combat. They give absorption hearts — save them for critical moments.
  • Flag recovery: If your flag is dropped, returning it is higher priority than attacking. Walk within 2 blocks to instantly return it.

Multi-Bot Strategy

In 4v4 games, you can assign different strategies to each bot:

run-team.ts
// Assign roles by bot index
const strategies = [
  attackerStrategy,   // Bot 1: rush enemy flag
  attackerStrategy,   // Bot 2: rush enemy flag
  defenderStrategy,   // Bot 3: guard own flag
  supportStrategy,    // Bot 4: mid-field & flag returns
];
