This is what happens when you force 2 teams of bots on Duel to be Pyros and let them at each other. Instructions below:
1. With non-stock maps (ie. koth_harvest_final, dm_duel_v1, any other customs) and with any Valve maps that are NOT King of the Kill, there aren't any navigation files for the bots to use in order to know how to get around. When you first play with bots on a map, you'll need to do sv_cheats 1 and nav_generate before adding any bots. Nav_generate (the cheat command) will generate a nvaigation file so the bots know where to go. You only need to do this step once per map.
2. After that, set sv_cheats to 0 and reload the map. Now you can use the tf_bot_add command (which is not a cheat) to add bots. The tf_bot_force_class command can also be used to force the bots to switch to a specific class when they die. Usage is as follows: tf_bot_force_class "string", where "string" is the name of a class to use: HEAVY IS "HEAVYWEAPONS", NOT "HEAVY", rest of the classes are their usual names. Type tf_bot_force_class "" to clear the class forcing.
