I wasn't able to play the game much in alpha when I take it this was doable, but now that I have time I'd like to explore the game a little more than a random match will allow me to do. That being said, is it even possible to run a match with just you vs. AI? If so, I haven't figure out how. Please inform me what sorcery is required.
Definitely tried the search tool and google, and have tried this already. It just gives me the blue bar saying "waiting for other players to ready" and sits there.
You've done it right, now you've just got to wait until it decides to start. Unfortunately it can take a while to decide to start, and sometimes people will even be able to jump into your game before it decides to load. For these reasons hopefully we'll get the option to specify AI opponents soon, but for now that's what ya gotta do.
Can confirm, simply am not patient enough. Finally got around to making it behave properly and discovered a few other interesting bugs, so I'm glad I did.
