What are cheating bots?

Is it possible to have rebuilding as an option?

Level 9 bots; they spawn in as armored sydney & mutant ravashaw & are heroic. And they're more aggressive.

How do you mean? In AOW (timed matches/All Out War) buildings automatically rebuild after a set time during the round.

Maybe it's because I only play single player? I see no way to turn it off no matter what settings I change?

Hey, just trying it out and it looks like the snowball shooter might be missing an asset, it's just showing out a square image that says, "SNOWBALL" on it.

[kennethmurphy]

I also can't see the penguin, but not sure if that's just me missing any assets or if it's shooting so fast that I can't see it. It just looks like a regular rocket to me.

That is the joke.
