Kejml Yeah, but the timing of resignation sometimes seems a bit random. In the previous tournament, I have had a similar situation. One player timed out, got replaced by a bot. Bot plays weakly, especially weak in military. Another player plays a war against him, putting the bot in a sure last place, winning 40 culture points. I played a war against the bot as well, and it resigned.
I have had several games with bots replacing timed-out players in the mean time. From my experience, at the moment a bot enters the game, the game dynamics really change. The game evolves more about who is the best in exploiting the stupidness of the bots. Feels a bit silly sometimes.
