I am not going to sit here and openly accuse anyone or any alliance of botting, but everyone on the server knows who is doing it and who the obvious bot alt alliances are.

+1 for this thread.

SS58 is a hellzone. One thing I can say for ss33 is that there was next to no botting on the server and most of us were well versed in advanced archer tactics...also the lack of bots was the reason our server had the smallest heroes, even if we were the oldest of the three. Of course there were some doing it, you'll have that, but it was more fun to fight with real strategy than just watch a botter pound someone from 5 or 6 bot alts full of ill-gotten troops. No strategy involved. Just sheer numbers. Game stinks these days because all the cheaters seem to have flocked together into top alliances. (Not saying all those players in those particular alliances cheat... that would be unfair) A good player should not need to use so many troops against a medium sized city anyway.

+1 to Evony for finally putting Cerebus into operation. I hope to see some changes on 58 that will bring back some real gameplay rather than just honour wars. (yes, my alliance does have the most honour... so what, we earned it lol)
