I am pleased. Can anyone go into further detail about what the tf_bot_quota actually does?

Well a quota implies a max bot count. I imagine this lets you add bots outside/on top of this quota. For what reason though, who knows. It sounds like a pretty specific request from the community, someone must have wanted it for some reason. I'm wondering whether it has something to do with MvM.

Ah, makes sense. I wonder if Valve would ever consider putting in more user-controlled bot AI functions, it's certainly help instead of using models + path_tracks to say, make a walking guard.
