There are no Age 2 bots.
Multiaccounting is a problem on all Evony servers, just not Age 2 servers.

Keyboard/mouse macro scripts, such as AutoIt, while arguably are against the rules, are not "bots" in the common vernacular.
There are no Age 2 bots*. All someone has to do is spend 5 minutes on Google to see for themselves.
It is far more likely that virtually all activity people attribute to "botting" is simply multiaccounting activities. I have played, to various degrees, on almost a dozen servers over the past two years (though now I'm down to a single Age 1 and Age 2 server) and on virtually every server in every alliance I've been in, you were expected (or, at least, highly 'encouraged') to either supply your login details to the alliance management, or have a 'team buddy' in a different area of the world who could watch your account for you while you were offline.
(*=Of course, it's always possible that someone with sufficient knowledge of actionscript or layered service provider programming may have put something together for their own personal use, such as that kid in PA a year or so ago... but such incidents would be highly isolated and the exception to the rule, and certainly would not qualify as any type of "botting problem" on Age 2.)
Cupcake, when players tell others they were suspended or banned because evony caught them using a bot, who cares if it meets the cupcake definition of what a bot is. The players say they were using bots; evony said they were using bots and punished them accordingly, but because CUPCAKE says it is not a bot without knowing the players or what they were using, then by all means, there must not be any bots in Age2. :duh:
And if cupcake did not have too much icing in his eyes, he would know that people have been selling bot programs for age2 for well more than a year, but because they keep them low key and by word of mouth and he cannot find them for sale on google by searching "bot", he prefers to spout nonsense on these forums. Cupcake appears to have an agenda to try and keep evony from looking at the bots on Age2. Now why could that be? Anyone have any ideas why cupcake would not want evony to be aware of bots on Age2?
When you are talking about regular cities, that is absolutely true. But, when you are talking about the Historical Cities on Age 2 which allow you to send larger waves of troops and to draft population, food, and troops from other players within your draft range, it is definitely worth it to take a noob HC city, demo it and rebuild it.
Just the other day, a player in my alliance capped a level 14 Historical City built with TEN level 10 WAREHOUSES, and 40 level 14 FARMS!!! Everyone but cupcake knows why the city was built that way, but to a nonbotting, non-noob player, it required 50 dynomites to demo the garbage and rebuild it properly, but it was worth it to draft troops from players in approximately 1/9th of the state.
Yeah, every botter I've run across on Age 1 has always fessed right up and said "yeah, I was using a bot" when they finally get off holiday, just like all those "falsely accused" posters in these forums whenever Evony does a bot-sweep! :rofl:
So you are an Age1 player, and yet you deem to consider yourself an expert on what players are or are not using on Age2 so much so that because you can't find it on google, you declare as if a fact that no bots exist on Age2---a game you do not play????
Go back to your sandbox.
And as others have posted on these forums, the use of bots is openly discussed in alliance chats and world chats on where to get them and how to use them, so yes, players do admit to it because so many other players are doing the same thing and their "victory" in the game is feeling like they have pulled one over on evony.
No one can speech for ever, they always give up in the end. On NA31 I watched and talked to Carebear as they camped outside VERDICTS 16 for i think it 17 days? 2-3 weeks anyways...they eventually gave up....Yes people may have speeched for ever but there other things you can do. Like pick of other players in the alliance..draft...keep them under pressure constantly...keep them flashing.... you eventually win....if some ones constantly under attack and they close gates...they struggle to farm..to queue ....just keep attacking...take shifts :D
t takes a little skill to raise loyalty using comforting, judging time to load resources from either packs or get alliance members to transport it in using scouts. That I have respect for and shows signs of a player who is using a reasonable level of skill to defend at all cost.
BUT.... just clicking speech text after you've lost everything in the city I have to say is lame and shows no skill what so ever. In theory you could hold Atlantis with no troops, gates closed and just pickup 20 speech texts a day from Facebook and stay alive in Atlantis for ever and a day... you don't need an alliance either, just loads of Evony facebook friends.
Thats my gripe on Speech texts - it's no skill and makes a mockery of defending anything. For those supporters of it, please read where I respect those who use comforting and how they use it and where they use it.
