Hello. Several of my friends and I are disappointed that it is not possible to battle against the AI in multiplayer outside of a coop campaign, which allows only 2 players.

I was thinking that it may be possible to add AI players in multiplayer by, in essence, copying the code from the singleplayer custom battle interface and putting it in the multiplayer battle interface. In my mind, instead of clicking to add a slot for a human in multiplayer, you would click and the AI would appear instead, like in a singleplayer custom battle. Using a pack editor, I opened up the data.pack, and I believe that the necessary code is in sp_battle_setup and mp_battle_setup. Using Notepad++ I see that there are lines in the sp_battle_setup file that mention the AI.

However, I am unsure of how to proceed, as I have no modding experience. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you!
