Sorry, but I can't stop the flow of brilliant ideas...
Since dtv is generally pretty exploitable, especially the old (yet way more awesome) maps, and the bots can be lured at will, I think it might be pretty nice to have an alternative version of dtv (there should be 2 servers anyway, given EU7 is always full atm), where bots are led by a couple of players, maybe 3 to 5 or something. Each has their squad and can give SP-like orders like follow, hold position, charge etc.
Bots could be directed straight to V, kept in a tight formation for melee, told to hold position and use ranged weapons or be led around the flanks to avoid getting stuck in one place and ending up in the meat grinder.
I know it's probably a huge amount of work, but I'm sure it'd be worth it.
Being a hobbyist programmer, I could even try and do it myself, if you give me a lead where to begin.

Why not! In Napoleonic wars there's a server (15th humans vs bots) that does exactly that.
It would be a cool addition, a new game mode.

I dont know much about mission templates but it should be possible by just copying the DTV template and changing the part that moves all players from the bot team to the player team to let it get 3-5 ppl in there.Shouldnt be "much more".

That was Commander game-mode, and it didn't last long. I liked it, but few people played it in the end.

Well, in WFaS there was captain-coop and captain-TDM. Every player had a handful of bots to command and the battles were huge. These modes were the only reason I played it at all and the servers were pretty popular.

And is there any way to get the crpg python files? Or to convert the txt files back to something editable? Been a long time since I modded M&B...
