When mercs were first introduced, they were pretty much a cut-and-paste of bots.

They (mercs,) of course, we standardized a little more since they are a part of the live gaming experience.

Bots tend to be bastardized since they are exclusive to the server code..and then bastardized even more since they are not part of the standard server.


When I work on bots, I focus exclusively on them because:

1) There are no dedicated devs working on bots..

2) I don't know how mercs work on live and have no reference to make changes to them with.


I haven't played with mercs to see how their grouping works...

Do they have similar issues with grouping as well?
