Right now its only two with league-modes, one qualify och one ranked.
What about a "Conquest Victory"-hostbot? I love that mode, but i can never play it. If i host a btank self, no body joins at all. (I have open port)
And maybe a hostbot with the noob-modes, like royal flush or/and 5k start.
Then you'll just get more bots and less games. I'm in on the idea of hosting more modes, but the problem right now is, that WC3, and the BTanks map especially, aren't played as much as they used to be anymore, and thus it wouldn't do any good to have more bots where people need to wait even longer to get a game started. About hosting yourself: Problem with that is the refresh. Your game won't show up in the list anymore after the first time, if you don't close all remaining slots and reopen one over and over again. This way your WC3 sends announce messages again to bnet, which a hosting bot does automatically every N seconds (don't actually know how often it is right now, as this has been adjusted a couple of times already).

Getting used to the Sand everywhere. At least it brings us map updates.
