Adding bots in Condition Zero

To add bots to a server in Condition Zero:

1. Start a new multiplayer game
2. Check the checkbox labeled Include CPU players (Bots) in this game
3. Add the number of bots you wish to include in the textbox labeled Number of CPU players

You can change other settings for your bots from the CPU Player Options tab.

By default, Condition Zero will not automatically balance the number of players on each team so one team cannot have more than two more players than the other. You can set this option in the Console by entering mp_autoteambalance 1 to enable automatic team balacing or mp_autoteambalance 0 to disable automatic team balancing.
