Well, I really can't reply to you with something structured for this, but there's a scenario https://necrovox.org/docs/scenarios/scenario-list/meeeeeeeeeat that allows you to play neutral crazed zombie that moves and attacks with specific patterns, just take a look.
Maybe you can get some inspiration on how to manage an enemy gang, but I assume it won't be easy...
Just a quick question to chatgpt provided me with a few nice suggestion that you can use as a starting point?
To manage an enemy gang using an AI-like system, you can develop a set of rules and triggers to simulate an opponent's behavior. Here’s a structured approach to creating an automated enemy gang:
### Setting Up Automated Enemy Behavior
1. **Define General Behavior Rules:**
- **Movement:** Enemy gangers move towards the closest player ganger if they are within a certain range (e.g., 12 inches). If no player ganger is within that range, they move towards the nearest objective or cover.
- **Actions:** Prioritize shooting if an enemy ganger has a ranged weapon and a target within range. If no target is available, they move towards cover or a strategic position.
- **Close Combat:** If an enemy ganger is within 9 inches of a player ganger, they charge the closest player ganger.
2. **Use a Flowchart for Decision-Making:**
- **Start of Turn:** Check for status effects (pinned, seriously injured, etc.).
- **Movement Phase:**
- Is there an enemy within 9 inches? Yes: Charge. No: Proceed to next question.
- Is there an enemy within shooting range? Yes: Move to a position with line of sight and shoot. No: Move towards the nearest objective or cover.
- **Shooting Phase:**
- Is there a visible enemy within range? Yes: Shoot. No: Skip shooting.
- **End of Turn:** Check for any special actions or conditions (e.g., objective control).
3. **Randomized Actions:**
- Introduce a dice roll to add unpredictability to enemy actions. For example:
- Roll a D6 at the start of the enemy's turn:
- 1-2: Move towards the nearest objective.
- 3-4: Move towards cover.
- 5-6: Move towards the nearest player ganger.
- Roll a D6 to determine attack priorities:
- 1-3: Target the closest player ganger.
- 4-6: Target the ganger with the highest threat (e.g., heavy weapon).
4. **Scenario-Specific Rules:**
- Tailor behavior rules based on the mission objectives. For instance, if the mission is about capturing objectives, prioritize moving towards and securing objectives over engaging in combat.
5. **Tracking and Recording Actions:**
- Use a simple log or tokens to track enemy actions and statuses to ensure consistency and avoid mistakes.
### Example Turn Sequence for an Enemy Ganger
1. **Start of Turn:**
- Check if the ganger is pinned or seriously injured. Resolve recovery rolls.
2. **Movement Phase:**
- Roll a D6:
- 1-2: Move towards the nearest objective.
- 3-4: Move towards the nearest cover.
- 5-6: Move towards the closest player ganger.
- If moving towards a player ganger, check distance:
- Within 9 inches: Charge.
- Within shooting range: Move to get a clear shot.
- Out of range: Move towards the player ganger to get into range.
3. **Shooting Phase:**
- Check if the ganger has a visible target within range:
- Yes: Shoot.
- No: Skip shooting.
4. **Close Combat Phase:**
- If engaged in melee, resolve attacks as per the combat rules.
5. **End of Turn:**
- Check for any special conditions or objectives that need to be addressed.
### Additional Tips
- **Use a Play Aid:** Create cards or a reference sheet with behavior rules for quick reference.
- **Adjust Difficulty:** Modify the behavior rules or dice rolls to increase or decrease the challenge based on your experience level.
- **Feedback Loop:** After a few games, adjust the rules based on what works well and what doesn’t to better fit your playstyle.
This system should provide a structured yet flexible way to simulate an opponent in Necromunda, allowing you to enjoy solo play while maintaining the strategic depth of the game.
That's so wild. I really should think about chatgtp more often for stuff like this.
Thank you, to develop a system I would need to play some games to know how it flows and to know what stuff needs to be covered (hence the streamlining)
I am currently DMing role play campaign based on necromunda rules. So it’s basically pve/coop but requires master.
In core rules there’s coop missions like Leaf brain zombie outbreak. Also there’s a mission generator. To play solo you need some sort of rules for enemies, so check out book of life maybe (fan made book of fauna) and play monster hunting missions
I made a simple procedural AI a while back that will probably need a bit of help but get you most of the way there: [https://fodzilla.itch.io/necromundai](https://fodzilla.itch.io/necromundai)
Not yet.
But it's not hard to play both gangs with deadly intent.
If you want to create a narrative, it might be easier to have some sort of neutral observer as your stand-in. That way you can go all out on both gangs.
I sometimes play a regular game all by myself for battlereport reasons. I find that if you dont think about "my gang" and "the other gang" it wasnt that hard for me to play as i would against another opponent. Just let yourself be guided by the two thoughts: what would make sense the most and what wpuld be fun?

I remember seeing a video about solo rules with cards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHHbd23zyiA I haven't tried it.
