I think this thread is actually decent. In all my years never thought of setting a SB up with a cav and transporter wave right behind it to clear resources wave. Add to it and I might rep.
When you are perfect, then feel free to come back and criticise me :P

The sb tactic with trans waves has been around a long time by the way as have any number of varying tactics designed to beat bots, and these evolve all the time, along with the bot tactics. There was one recently that had a glitch (now fixed unfortunately) that allowed you to send a scout trans wave in just the right combination that gates would remain shut for you to plunder away merrily. It took about 24 hours for a new release to overcome that one , more's the pity.

The OP seems to have lost sight of the fact that there are multitudes of bots and multitudes of settings a bot user can have and there is no "one size fits all" method. Whilst I welcome folks trying to find ways of beating these hideous autohelpers, the original post takes a far too simplistic view of the problem to come up with a solution which results in something that would defeat very very few bots, especially one where the user has configured it at least half decently.

The bots will shift resources around, shift troops around, build walls constantly etc etc.

If only the solution offered DID work for every bot, we would all be laughing and the bots would be no more :P
