No game is "un cheatable" Well according to most popular rules. The way this game is made it is well I won't say unhackable, due to everything is hackable but the only way to hack evony is to do it server side not client side. The risk vs reward for the hackers is very minute in this aspect so I will say it is hack resistant. I mean who will want to hack the evony server to get a kick ass city/hero or whatever. Yeah I want to risk jail time for that. Hacking a client = no big deal hardly ever prosecuted. Hacking a server is much much more severe.. Can it be done? Yes but if it ever is done it won't be for a kick ass account. It will be for account info like credit card numbers and the like.
Back to my original point.. Every game there is a way to "break the rules" However, There are ways to make it so annoying to do so that you push the people that do it out in droves. How to stop bots? well not stop but hinder severely. Setup an hourly or bi-hourly or so many action specific random code. The code pops up and you have to enter whatever characters in that box then hit enter or click ok. If the code is not entered or entered incorrectly 3 times in a row then you will be signed out. Will this stop bots? No.. It will however make it impossible to keep an account online for 24 hours and do whatever it is you have the bots do. Why don't they implement this simple feature? because it will drive away a few non bot users due to the inconvenience. You have to figure out what can you deal with more. Bots?.. or a minor inconvenience? There will have to be some kind of compromise along the way if you want to deal with the problem. Other ideas would make it like another game that would allow you to be logged in for only 4 hours per day. but this will give rise to tons of multi accounts. Every one will have 3 or 4 well a lot more than they are right now. I don't like this approach but It would stop the mass farming / huge armies.
There is however one other way that they can but if they do it they will be faced with tons of lawsuits for breach of privacy. That is if they made you install a program onto your computer akin to spyware. That will scan your desktop and your browsers to look for any suspicious behavior.
There is one other thing that they could do which I am sure they won't do is take the game from browser based to binary based, and have you install the game and use some kind of hackshield type program. Again these are not hack / cheat proof but hackshield will stop most of the novice wanna be cheaters. The more advanced cheaters will always find a way around the rules.
Another minor annoyance that can help slow down bots and cheaters. Is to change up the templates / commands in which to operate the features. The program and or cheater will have to constantly change the way in which they cheat to stay current.
