A player could feel more satisfied if it plays against a computer with the same knowledge and resources as a human player, because then it would have to play more like a human. With such cheats, the player will feel annoyed that the computer always attack when he is the weakest, without real knowledge, or can attack with twise the units he know is the maximum at a given time.

Well it depends on what you call a rush. If you compare a game like starcraft to AoE2, a zergling rush would be like a drush and ignoring feudal. As far as I know this is easily countered. The more reasonable rush in AoE2 is feudal rush, and thats more like 10 min into the game, and will not kill of the player directly. He would rather die when rams come out in castle at 15-20 min. Compare this to a zergling rush where a player can be killed in the first few minutes.

Comment Restrictions? (Score 1) 200

I wonder if the bots will have any restrictions on apm and such. I could imagine the terror of trying to defend against 10 individually controlled mutalisks harrasing all my expansions at the same time, from all directions. And without any long-range trapping mechanism, or fast air-to-air unit, there is no way to catch them. And if I need cannons or turrets or units at all angles of attack, I will certainly lose the macro battle.

For a single person a CD-R sure could include all the songs he/she felt relevant at the moment. I was thinking more of having a disc with so much music of different types that it could be handed to pretty much anyone in the world, and most would think it would fill their music needs. At 5TB and about one million tracks, its at least aproaching this.

But is that specific to your cheap collective deal, or for all Bredbandsbolaget connections? I haven't had Bredbandsbolaget, but two of the other big providers, Telia and Comhem. If there was a cap, it was at least larger than the 500+ GB I've used per month, so I can't see why Bredbandsbolaget would have just a 100GB cap.

There are already alternatives like the one you mention, just buy a company type ADSL line. If you want a whole 3Mb/s garanteed however, it will cost you way more than you would like to pay for a home line. If the rates where unchanged, the garanteed speed would more likely be around 1% of peak speeds.
