Anti bot updates

Why not have the bank login thing you suggested, combined with a code to access the battlefield page - where a certain % of chance of when you change the battlefield page number (i.e. going from page 4 to page 5) you have to input a code to continue - maybe a 20 - 30% chance?

Not sure if this would work (i have absolutely zero knowledge of auto-bots or coding lol) ... but i d guess a auto-raid/ auto-farm bot would need to go through the battlefield rankings?

If a codes entered wrongly, or not entered - have it that for a certain amount of page changes from then onwards you have to enter a varying code (i.e. a wrong code entry, or failure to enter would then mean for the next 10 attempts to change battlefield pages, you d need to enter a code - after which it then drops back to a 3 in 10 chance)

In which case.... doing it by battlefield pages would hopefully catch/ lock bots out... but since it would be by pages, it shouldn't be too much of a hinderance to players - and especially if there's only a 3 in 10 chance of having to input a code when moving to a new battlefield page (which has 30 players on). - you could maybe have all failures to enter a correct code listed somewhere for you to review each day... which if there's repeated failures, should highlight it for yourself pretty easily for you to then investigate further.

You could probably then apply a similar policy to the alliance battlefield screen (30% chance of having to enter a code when moving from 1 page to another on the same alliance, or if going from one alliance to the next etc...) - which shouldn't interfere too much with wars etc... if its by battlefield pages.

As for training UU, and arming weapons etc... - if you cut off the bots means to gain kuwal (i.e. auto-farming, or saving up kuwal in the bank), then it wouldn't be able to train UU or arm weapons lol - so stop auto-banking, and auto-farming, the other problems might be reduced.

Not sure if this idea would work or not though... i ll leave that down to everyone else lol

If there is no autobank and no autotrain, there is no autofarming and no autoraiding.Just add some unbeatable captchas for banking and training and that`d be all. No bots. I don`t know how much that would cost you though.

LOL - good point. Guess my previous suggestion is useless then!

@ Admin - i d say just do what you suggested then - give 1 counter you can tick for banking without a caption. Regarding training i d say its not a issue having a caption - if someone see's a army with a lot of Kuwal out - they automatically go for it.. hence the need for quick banking (which the counter would enable once). For UU or units, you need to be spied to see that the enemy has a lot out. I d guess the odds of being caught with a lot of UU in the open would be very slim given this... so a captions perfectly fine i d say.

In regard to war situations - maybe simply have 1 "counter" for banking and training a day, which once activated gets rid of the captions for an hour after activation - so if your busy massing someone you won't have to worry about the captions during this time (which personally drive me crazy in war situations lol)

I think he was referring to the point that if you had a script auto-farm for you, but can't auto-bank, you d run a very high risk of loosing all gained kuwal from auto-farming, by being farmed yourself - which coupled with the fact you d actually be cheating (thus potentially caught and banned) - would potentially be enough of a lack of gains for people to not bother auto-farming.

Of course... they could still auto-farm, and if they timed their own activity right, get online briefly to bank the kuwal gained from auto-farming... so it wouldn't totally eliminate auto-farming. Nor would it potentially as the game develops, with defences outstripping strikes (meaning a larger player could cheat, and his auto-farmed kuwal would still be unfarmed for when he gets online).
