Thread: Guide to beating the bot

    What is everyone's obsession with attacking at maintenance? The fact is that without the bot losing it's connection you can't take a botted city.

    Alts usually have a 2 2 2 2 2 gate policy (i.e. gates closed all the time) so you can easily take any res in their cities but you won't get more than a few million res by attacking these. Ever wondered though why alts are all placed in an alliance where they can be easily identified as alts by attackers? It's so that every city from every alt account can feed their resources to a dump city near the owners main account.

    If you really want to hurt a botters troop production look for this dump city belonging to an alt near to one of their mains - often this will be just 1 square away. Hit that city and take all the res being dumped there by their alliance of alts.

    I totally agree. 95% of bot cities arent worth hitting, they will have no troops except farming teams, gates will stay shut, and will usually have less than 100m res, gold included, the rest is set to send straight to a well defended dumpcity right by the main account. These cities are the ones to target. They will usually be heavily defended and will rarely close gates. Most will be configured to automatically open during maint so you can forget about trying to raid them during maint lol.

    there is only one way to beat a bot....and even this method doesnt work for some of the newest versions of bots
    Step 1 join alliance of bot
    Step 2 put roughly 1mil transports in bots embassy and 250k archers ie 10 war ensigns
    Step 3 leave alliance and send at bot 500 scout 500 cavs which is hits where most bots close gates
    as this archers should knock out walls and transports should get all recources
    then start hitting with mech waves which a bot cant heal troops nor comfort
    i have tried this once and used 500k transports and it worked fine but if botter has tons of recources then your at risk of not being succesful
    EDIT: the newer versions of bots keep embassy closed and only open them when one is getting hit hard

    I just think you can't ENCOURAGE botting. However, how does this thread not encourage it, because its essentially saying how hard and painful beating a bot can be.

    My suggestion:

    Build a lot of troops, and keep hitting it. A bot can only work so fast.

    Step 1: Pile a bunch of 100k scoutbombs together.

    Step 2: Put a 100k trans in the middle.

    Step 3: Get Free resourcces.

    Step 4: Profit??/?

    My thoughts, wtf does it matter? Killing troops and taking res are all that's needed and you sure as h3ll don't need a guide for that. Just leave the empty city, I've never had a problem clearing a bot of anything but the city itself.

    Lol @evony. So now their stance on beating bots is "ignore them and they'll go away"

    On topic, this thread is helpful, but I can just imagine the bot developers sitting here reading every post and patching their bot to fix the loopholes this thread has pointed out. We just cant win....

    I think this thread is null now as maintenance freezes attacks at their destination for so long after maintenance to allow users time to log right after and do what they need to before the attacks land. Such as turtling with the resources and letting enemy troops bounce off their walls.
