Server 149 - Big Joke
I have played a few servers, and I have to say that Server 149 is a joke. I dunno really what the other newer ones are like, but :duh:
Due to the bot issue getting out of hand, more and more bots have risen. Bot armies taking over entire states. Those of us who do not bot are being driven out of the game. (At least on the older servers, we got reasonably established and the problems didn't occur til the second super server merger really.) During the NPC wiping, botters have placed a city full of troops into our NPC fields and bot us dry. New players cannot even feed a -2m city because the bots are cleaning their areas. And if normal players cannot build up an army, they cannot fight back. I am not exaggerating, the situation IS that bad, at least in our state and I cannot name the alliances involved.
Having a bot seems to be the way to go nowadays.
If something isn't being done on even the new servers and players are allowed to start out using bots where does that leave the rest of us?
I am not trying to start a flame war here, but there is no point sending in complaints about it. The people doing it have not hid the fact that they are doing it. That is the most annoying part and I have been told by people in other alliances that if I don't bot, I am an idiot... grrrr!.
People who I have known now through a couple servers are quitting the game today because of this. The game has thousands to replace them, but it makes me sad that it has gone this far.
Point of this thread? I am appealing to you guys to at least put some stronger measures in place to prevent this BS on the new servers. People left older servers to escape this very thing and have some fun again. Instead of leaving it behind, they've ended up in a worse situation, and are now quitting completely. =(

Maybe it is time for an embedded evony staff member in the same fashion of server SS60

I agree with the OP here. There's no fun when ANY cheater is on the block, and when there is an entire state full of them, that only ruins the entire server for everyone involved--including the botters, who don't have any idea on the rush of conquering any challenge the RIGHT way, as opposed to the other way.
However, as for policing the server, I can't really say if any measure could be truly considered the right one...After all, the all-important question that comes to mind is this: When does a peaceful policing force become the Gestapo to everyone? Where do we draw the line on privacy-related issues when it comes to keeping track of such matters?
I do believe that is something to think long and hard about.

However, if you consider "Furstin" coiner vs "Botters" in new servers such as 151, which one is worst? ;)

Evony's made it pretty clear that you won't get banned for botting, or creating thousands of flat fillers, or account sharing, or multi-accounting. They also made it known that if you do get banned, you can just get a few friends to complain loudly enough with you and you'll be unbanned the next day.
So do like the rest of the world and give up playing fairly. Download a bot and join the crowd. It's so much easier to cheat, and when it's not only necessary for survival on 90% of the map and ALSO condoned by the administration, hey.. why the hell not?

It's not THAT bad
Just quick one re 149, I started two days after server started and ran into some bits myself well a few actually lol... But I don't comPlain for two reasons, firstly when i started I made sure that I had a great farming location for the future, may not be best on server but it's nice and I can hit 8 10's an hour with one hero... Second, I have found most people who have used bots rely on the scripts not game knowledge, this makes them predictable... A bit that will close gates on a scoutbomb auto will close on 100k trans with scoutbombs landing at the same time... In short I am a nine city furstin three if my cities were own by bots and have about 20bil food thanks tO them... Have the trooPs know the mech, no trouble...
On a semi related note too, don't hate coiners for two reasons again lol... Most rely on buffs to make a Player, everyone has weaknesses, I have been up there account wise without coins, it can be done... Now I spend on startup, it's like buying a new video game, $100 is going rate I don't mind paying that to start...
P.S. Sorry for the long tyrade of a post, and the many spelling mistakes on an iPhone here...

I quit 149 cuz of the botters. I agree its out of control. I only like to play 1 account with 8 cities, but theres speed freaks out there with 11 accounts all botting, sure it takes skill to take full advantage of it but who the heck cares. Its just simply ruined the game. Botters plain suk and hackers should create viruses to combat the bots cuz Evony seems to be incubating bots.

Botter $uks?
try saying that in a botter infest Super server,they will say the same to you..
i didnt bot untill abt a week ago,i used to think i shldnt cheat on a game,fair play is good...been playing this game almost 2 years,been called stupid for not botting.
I must admit,i am stupid back then for the 1 year 10 months of non-botting.
Oh,evony releases botters being caught after 3 days regardless they complain or not.Not like u need to appeal for months...i budget $300 a month on my account & my family's.Now...i cut that budget by 80%...save me lots when i bot.
It has become a game on who could bot & yet play the better now,not playing by sheer knowledge. Try going on the top 50 attack hero player of your server,u'll realise,u cant beat them unless they allow u to...;)
