This feature is already in place. You can use "Neutral inactivity behavior" to experience that effect in your games.

the problem with this is that if someone doesn't confirm and needs to be replaced by a bot, then they also behave like the inactive players

I also think this would be good for FFA, was playing a game recently where almost all players had botted out and it was like... this is stupid

[forest cipher]

I'm guessing you don't know how "Neutral inactivity behavior" works?
Someone not readying up is not replaced by an attacking bot but instead one that is simply adding troops to its territories.
Once all players remaining in the game have surrendered, the game ends instantly.

Remember that someone who is just MIA still has the chance to come back (that window is 3 minutes atm), and has every right to still do so and the game shouldn't end in that case.

neutral inactivity is all fun and good and a solution, however, most games are not with neutral bots on, and especially in a 1v1, the game should just end

[forest cipher]

Interesting. I'll have to change my vote to then.

[untold glacier]

maybe not end it automatically, but let the remaining human claim victory

after 3 minutes or so

not limited to 1v1, can apply to all games

I do, I used to use neutral in my game setup, but I found it super tiresome that people who were replaced by bots at game start (bc they didn't confirm) were not replaced by actual bots but just doing the neutral drafting thing

[untold glacier]

would love for them to just be not in the game
starting-neutral bots are just weird soft blizzards

[strong hull]

agreed, it makes the neutral mode less useful because of that. I think neutral mode would be greatly improved if non-readied players became actual bots and then people who just go inactive would actually go inactive

[untold glacier]

don't make them actual bots, just not have them in the game
you don't want active bots if you set bots to neutral
