Lorgar:
I want to make it more resilient. What about a paralel virus based reproduction system? what defense should I put up first (as shell, poison, venom or slime are costly I may have to choose wich one to implement first, taking into account the energy and waste management system)

Panda:
I do not know what you mean by a "parallel virus based reproduction system", can you explain that? Viruses are also very expensive and difficult to spread without using a lot of energy. I remember making one and it killing my own bots off very quickly before it even spread.

I use poison mostly as defense as it is easy to control and can allow you to do many things to the other bot, for example, you can get their bot to fire energy at you while you have a chance to react. It can also be used to blind them or make them turn away(which isn't useful in all circumstances because some bots have eyes all the way around them). One limitation of the poison is that it degrades, which means that you need to work out a good way to create it while being attacked. Shell and slime are expensive and, to be honest, I hardly use them but I am sure that they are a good defense when used well. Slime also degrades and only protects from viruses, I think. Venom is an offense, by the way, it is just a bot controlled poison, being able to choose when to fire it, instead of it being a "reflex". It does not degrade like poison either.

To be honest I would go with poison as it can do so many more things than the others, however, you will need to have some sort of "detection" system to tell when it is being hit.

Lorgar:
A virus infected bot would use all his body and nrg to produce little poisoned bots that create ties and stay together, sharing slime (to protect them from another virus infection) they would react with poison and/or venom if attacked by a bot without a specific gene added to all my bots.
something like this (101 being the memory address and 13 the specific gene) I assume the presence of an aiming gene to aim at the attacker

cond
*.hit 0 !=
*.bodloss 0!=
*.ref101 13 !=
start
-3 .shoot store
stop

these little beings would be "stockbots" just fortifying themselves to protect whatever body and nrg point they have until some of my bots come around to eat them. What they would do without being hindered by poison (either using -6 shots or just not being seen as foes) or venom.

edit, where can I find a good MB tuto?

Panda:
There's only the one on the wiki. To be honest, multibots isn't the way to go.

Lorgar:
ok, panda, look at this one!
