+# 🤖 How to Run the OpenFront AI Bot
+
+The AI bot has been **fully integrated** and is ready to use! Here's how to run it:
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start (2 steps)
+
+### 1. Start OpenFrontIO
+
+```bash
+npm start
+```
+
+### 2. Start a Singleplayer Game
+
+- Go to "Single Player" in the main menu
+- Choose any map and settings
+- Start the game
+
+**The bot is now available!** 🎉
+
+## 🎮 Control the Bot
+
+### Option A: Visual UI (Easiest)
+
+1. **Look for the 🤖 icon** in the top-right corner of the game
+2. **Click the icon** to open the bot control panel
+3. **Click "Start Bot"** to activate AI assistance
+4. **Watch the bot play!** It will:
+   - Automatically select optimal spawn locations
+   - Manage resources and troops
+   - Make strategic decisions
+   - Show real-time analysis
+
+### Option B: Browser Console
+
+1. **Open browser developer tools** (F12)
+2. **Use these commands**:
+
+```javascript
+// Start the bot
+openFrontBot.start();
+
+// Check bot status
+openFrontBot.status();
+
+// Stop the bot
+openFrontBot.stop();
+
+// See detailed analysis
+openFrontBot.analysis();
+
+// Adjust difficulty
+openFrontBot.updateConfig({ aggressiveness: 80 });
+```
+
+## 🎯 What the Bot Does
+
+### ✅ Fully Working Features
+
+- **Smart Spawning**: Analyzes the entire map to pick the best starting location
+- **Resource Management**: Automatically adjusts troop/worker ratios
+- **Strategic Analysis**: Comprehensive territory, threat, and opportunity assessment
+- **Real-time Decisions**: Makes decisions every few seconds with explanations
+
+### 🔄 Basic Implementation
+
+- **Threat Detection**: Identifies incoming attacks and suggests responses
+- **Expansion Planning**: Finds opportunities for territory growth
+- **Diplomacy Analysis**: Evaluates alliance opportunities
+
+### 🚧 Future Enhancements (Not Yet Implemented)
+
+- Full attack execution
+- Unit construction
+- Naval operations
+- Nuclear weapons
+- Advanced diplomacy
+
+## 🔧 Configuration
+
+Customize bot behavior from the console:
+
+```javascript
+openFrontBot.updateConfig({
+  difficulty: "Hard", // Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert
+  aggressiveness: 75, // 0-100 (how often it attacks)
+  expansionRate: 80, // 0-100 (how fast it expands)
+  diplomaticStance: "Aggressive", // Peaceful, Neutral, Aggressive
+});
+```
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Bot Icon Not Showing?
+
+- Make sure you're in a **singleplayer game** (bot doesn't work in multiplayer)
+- Check browser console for "Initializing bot for singleplayer game" message
+
+### Bot Not Making Decisions?
+
+- Open console and run `openFrontBot.status()` to check if it's enabled
+- Try `openFrontBot.forceTick()` to force a decision
+- Check if the game is in spawn phase (bot waits for spawn to complete)
+
+### Want More Debug Info?
+
+```javascript
+// See what the bot is thinking
+openFrontBot.analysis();
+
+// Check detailed status
+openFrontBot.status();
+```
+
+## 🎭 Example Bot Session
+
+```
+1. Game starts → Bot icon (🤖) appears in top-right
+2. Click icon → Control panel opens
+3. Click "Start Bot" → Bot begins analysis
+4. Spawn phase → Bot automatically selects best spawn location
+5. Early game → Bot manages resources and looks for expansion
+6. Mid game → Bot makes strategic decisions based on threats/opportunities
+```
+
+## 🏆 Advanced Usage
+
+### Multiple Difficulty Levels
+
+- **Easy**: Peaceful, slow, high confidence threshold
+- **Medium**: Balanced approach (default)
+- **Hard**: Aggressive, fast decisions, nuclear weapons enabled
+- **Expert**: Very aggressive, risky plays, all features enabled
+
+### Watch Bot Decisions
+
+All bot actions are logged to the console with explanations:
+
+```
+PlayerBot: Spawning at (45, 32) with confidence 87%
+Spawn reasons: Large land area (167 tiles), Isolated position, Good water access
+```
+
+---
+
+**That's it!** The bot is ready to play OpenFrontIO. Start a singleplayer game and click the 🤖 icon to begin! 🎮
