Why my Roaming AI system and not others?
1) Performance friendly - Stability for all player-base servers... Small, medium and large.
2) Support - A commitment made by myself to support the system and release updates, patches and hopefully new features.
3) Highly configurable - Easy to use and modify configuration file, containing lots of settings with full commenting and external documentation.

OMG YES! 

Will you use factions to define enemy/friendly, west/east/etc? Or will you do it by other means. 

[InsertCoins 333]

how do they compare with other AI in difficulty?

800m 360noscope headshots or are they pants-on-head retarded?

@ka0s - At the moment, it is configured for all sides which can be changed in the config.

@InsertCoins - Skills can be set in the config. For now I am using the setSkill command although it may change in the future.

Haz anyone tried this and how is it?

[Haz 31]

It has not been released yet. It is in the works...

[wasti 96]

headless client compatibility?

[Haz 31]

Not at the moment, I may do it though but not promising... Is it really needed? The system is designed to be performance friendly by caching groups. I haven't really read much about HC but will do later, I will make a decision then and post back.

[wasti 96]

not really needed, but it's nice to have for larger population servers.

Just had a quick read through of this guide/tutorial and seems to be good. I'll add it to my to do list but am going to focus on the more important things for now but once I have made more progress, I'll see if I can implement it.
