Exploiting bots

[TheNamelessWonder]

As it stands, bots are just too easy to exploit. I send a handful of LETs, the bot runs its troops, easy land for me. Too easy. I've already stolen from bots something like 10 times today in 12 tries (triggered AR twice). Now I'm all for picking on bots, but shouldn't we at least have to kinda earn the land? At least have to flak our way through, or kill its troops, or something?

No, bots are specifically in the game to boost acres of others.

Think of them being the "pleasure model" all they're there for is to be used and abused by us cold-hearted players ;)

I understand that they're here to boost our acres, but if it's this easy to make them run their troops, why do they have troops in the first place? :shock:

Im not complaining, its been a quick easy way for me to fatten up. I would like to see some AI improvements though, such as them last ticking, buying up troops or retaliating. Also how about Bots being P-napped? One idea I'd love to see is Bots getting revenge on Bot farmers. Say once you have landed on 10-15 Bots, those Bots join forces and mass u! Improving AI would demonstrate more tactics to begginers, helping them learn quicker. Would be fun IMO

Not complaining really, people getting land from them, me getting land from people, everyone is happy.

I have no right to complain, I took 2k acres from bots just yesterday using this tactic. My point is that it's just too easy. Now I might be wrong, but I don't think Azzer meant for the land to be absolutely free if you send a handful of lethals. I'm all for easy land, but there's a difference between easy land and free land.

Well if you want to fight for the land go target a non bot player? Its that simple really :P

Bots are to inject land in to the game, and also to teach newbies how 'flakking' works. If you're new then landing on a Bot will still take a few attempts, don't make it more difficult :/
