    During laggy periods 20 seconds simply isn't enough. Bots don't move out res with anything but transports but they do move out rainbows.

    Also, if you're on at maintenance time you can grab the res when the bot goes to sleep. Save your attack until the last 10 seconds before the server shuts down. Beware, though, some bots are set to open gates at maintenance which you can tell by scouting of course

    Trust me, persistence pays
    That's how we do it on ss46. You have to coordinate lots of attacks in that small gap though.

    also scout all their valleys and see if they are hiding

    there is also a fairly substantial guide on this: http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=199984

    To get the rez 90k scouts 10 k trans , tricks the bot into thinking its a scout bomb and doesn't do hiding ,when you get all res , then its best to have 2-3 citys beside it and hit it every couple of seconds for hrs and hrs eventually you will get it

    For your case if you can cav spam the city from 1 mile (your attacks will be landing about every 20 secs) then you will eventually catch the hiding wave+res in the city. Could take a while though and sending manually for hours you are bound to have gaps in your waves... if you were to use a bot though it's easy to spam for days


    Edit:


    I don't doubt that you have capped botted cities and congrats on your persistence - it's not a quick or easy thing to do.

    For anyone who doesn't know the things you are working against when trying to take a botted city are:

    Hiding - user configured for how long before an attack lands the hiding wave (res/trans/balli) is sent as an attack at a low level NPC. Most people use this.
    Gate - user configured for (in general) what attacks the bot will open for and how long before landing it opens them. Most people use this.
    Buffs - user configured what buffs (war horn/corselet/penicillin) are applied when an attack is incoming.
    Rainbow - automatic. Will send the majority of layers and ponies out to the nearest valley.
    Healing - automatic unless disabled by user.
    Layer building - user configured. Bot will build layers between attacks, often one rack is reserved for this.
    Wall building - user configured. Bot will build tad's or AT's to set range inbetween attacks.
    Rescue City - automatic unless disabled by user. Will send gold/food from other cities by scout for comforting.
    Comforting - automatic unless disabled by user. Will comfort the city every 15 mins using food or gold if available.
    Speech text/truce - user configured at what loyalty they are applied.

    It's a lot of things to consider and try to work around and even if you do then you still have the possibility/likelihood of shared keys and an alliance member will log on to fight from the account (I didn't mention that the bot can be set to post details of incoming attacks in AC did I?). Taking a city run by a properly setup bot is virtually impossible.

    Bots are not good at fighting (they don't have much in the way of battle mechanics programmed in) so killing the troops and taking the majority of any res in the city is not overly difficult. The game has become more about counting a wiped city as a victory rather than capping them as it used to be.
    truely the highest spenders quit evony because of bots. thats why there are less players now than there was a year ago. when the bots are gone.... out comes my credit card again... untill then i troll.

    I'm fairly certain if banning all botters would increase Evony's cash flow, all the botters would be gone tommorrow.

    The fact they're not suggests their credit card limits are higher than yours is.

    short answer. evo do not care if its not about the $. they could have gone the honest route and enforced theyre rules from day one but they didnt. if they had gone this way they would have had an entirely dif client base for $.
    if i wanted to play age II i would be.

    Evony’s greed is matched only by its short-sightedness, the incompetence of its developers and its contempt for its players.

    I wonder how many genuine “new” players have joined in the last year? Would you continue playing a game if you found out after a number of weeks of playing that the only way to excel is to download third software forbidden by the game’s rules and set up a botted alt farming alliance?

    By turning a blind eye to botting to preserve its existing botter client base Evony has effectively cut off new revenue streams from genuine potential new players.

    Also when will Evony learn that you do not deal with customer dissatisfaction by censoring discussion of it?

    I’m surprised that acer5200 - the moderator so lacking in people skills that in comparison people with Asperger’s syndrome/autism appear socially skilled – hasn’t shut this thread down.

    I await banning.
