Description

Phase 3 of the hydragon MVP (#615). Turn the slice into a match.

Tasks

  1. NPC bots for the other heroes, on behaviour trees. They stay third person, so the Paragon assets ship as they are.
  2. Bot movement follows the Phase 0 decision: node graph or free walking.
  3. Minions. One tower for each side. The core.
  4. Health, death, respawn, win condition, match timer.
  5. Target match length 8 minutes.
  6. Tune the node layout and the 10 second cooldown against real play. Both stay tunable.

Out of scope

Network multiplayer. Hero select. Progression, shop, items. A second hero. A second map.

Done when

A full match runs from start to a win by destroying the enemy core.
