If you want to play against AI bots, you can either create a solo AI game or use these settings to invite friends and play with friends VS. bots.

Set the time to join to 5 minutes, because once your friends are in, you have to wait until the timer runs out. At that point, the game will fill in bots for the remaining seats.

Set game messaging to None (Gunboat)

This will turn on a new Boolean checkbox to fill the game with Bots.

Bots are only available on the Classic Europe map. (Default)

You must set a password to the game.

 If you go to create a new game and select 'no messaging' as the messaging type, a box will appear that allows you to fill unfilled positions with bots. If only two human players are signed up for that game when it is scheduled to begin, bots will fill the remaining positions.
We could start a private no messaging game and have three friends play against bots?

Yup! I think the game will default to unranked.

 but there is no way to play full press with bots?
There is an existing experimental setup of a full press bot, but it takes significant processing power. There isn't available capacity for everyone to be able to freely use it. I believe it can only be accessed with a special request to kestasjk.

Is there a way to play with two humans in an AI/bot game?
