    That is the next Step Thantium, a serious re tooling of the way troops are feed etc. Could be cool.. very limited farming needs.
    Large army's are another issue, there are a few great discussions on this over at feedback.evony.com. Basically if you reduce farming needs, some players will still farm at the same amount.

    Let me try to explain this, because of the way this would work it is a little wierd...

    Let say 10% fewer food needs.

    player 1 farms for 1 hour and would have a 10% larger army
    Player 2 farms for 2 hours and would have a 22% larger army
    Player 3 farms for 10 hours and has a 125% larger army

    Or something like that I forget the exact numbers off of the top of my head, but basically if we reduced food needs it actually favors players that spend more time in the game even more.

    No it pops up more for botters, so they say. So if you botted you won't be able to do much before it pops up.

    As you may have noticed, we've implemented a "Captcha" system that works to remove bots from the server. Most players will only see a Captcha once or twice per day, and it will ask them to enter a few letters on their keyboard to make sure they are a real person (and not a pesky bot).

    We are testing this on server ss57 and ss60 as a precursor to rolling it out on more servers. We have implemented this in a way to minimize the effect on legitimate players, and maximize the effect on cheaters. Here's wow it works:
    • During your gameplay experience you will have a Captcha screen pop up at random while you're playing.
    • You have 5 tries to answer the Captcha, if you don't get it, that is considered one incorrect answer.
    • If you get 4 incorrect answers or you close the Captcha window, you'll need to answer Captcha correctly to continue playing.
    • If you solve a Captcha, it will be longer before you are asked again. If you get it wrong, you'll get another one sooner.
    • Most players will only see a Captcha once every few hours.

    Our goal is for the Captcha system to help clear the server of bots, give real players the advantage, and reduce problems with latency. We've already seen the Captcha system improving performance on the test servers. Captchas are part of our commitment to keeping Evony fun and fair for everyone!

    Thanks for playing and we'll see you on the battlefield!

    Best regards,

    The Evony Team
    If I read the post correctly, if I log in Sat morning and play on and off all day (as I do) because I que troops and go do chores, come back and tend to more and so on. If I am not at my computer when this thing pops up, I get labeled as a bot?

    My point exactly, this system only catches them, so what, it is about time EVONY stood up and enforced it's own rules. NO CHEATING ALLOWED "this does not apply to people who spend money or bot"
    So do the right thing for once EVONY enforce the damn rules. PERMA BAN ALL BOTTERS, GET RID OF ALL OF THOSE CHEATERS!!!!!!!!!!!

    and what? get plummeted or beat down by those who farm longer cuz they have larger army?

    Come on guys you cant have the best of both worlds... 'fix the lag' and 'stop the botters' i have seen so many times its not funny... Evony implements something that actually works at reducing both and everyone goes crazy about it. Everyone going crazy about it probably does bot so is mad that their botting is being interrupted.

    I played 2 servers before i was merged ss57 and they were by far the best (essentially bot free) ss57 has been my least favorite server but now things might be fun again

    Come on and flame me for supporting anti-botting measures lol

    If you don't adress this issue I will NEVER start another NEW server or spend money again... You change the rules like queens n now this mid way through game after WE spent our money to cap queens (age2), or have huge armies only to loose millions while someone sends 200K cavs n ur bussy messing w/ dam Captcha... sorry EVONY u are losing ur appeal Desert Ops anyone ??? LOL

    if all your time and money put into this game, can be completely obliterated due to a 10sec pop up,

    you my friend are one of the most unluckiest player i shall ever know,

    either that, or havnt put enough time into it
    R.I.P Cheapskates and poorly Peasants alike, may our sh!tty heros lead our armies with great courage and valour in place of gear and attack points

    siggeh by the awesome krazykazza ty!!
