Our money was on the TDZ Bot :).
It is very fun to see our little app in action like this. Glad to see it performing so well to create a quite exciting game 😁👍

2:36 as someone who is STILL studying the lore and having been familiar with BattleTech/MechWarrior for almost 30 years, it's alot to take in, that being said, the way the map is set up the simplest explanation would work best i feel: the planet is just simply a volcanic world that hasn't quite formed yet, those do exist in the BattleTech universe, they're fairly common not only in the setting but in real life, countless planets that just don't have an atmosphere and are nothing but obsidian and lava :D

Where you get the Volcano?

Interesting, I've been looking at ways of running enemies in a solo campaign, will have to give thw bot app a try

I've played battletech solo for decades.   Aces is completely unnecessary.
