[My thoughts on bots and a plea to blanket ban all third party automation and develop the tools inhouse]

Gotta agree with Mars on this one. When I first joined the game there were no bots. I joined a micro and noticed straight from the off that the gov they had there were enthusiastic about the game and was happy to teach you everything you needed to know. You could also see them putting in multiple hours a day making sure the alliance ran properly. 

Then I decided to help out took a millcom role. Logging multiple times a day making sure we hadn't been declared on. Checking our members to see if they had enough mill, encouraging peeps to raid. Approving raids that fit our restrictions. It was time consuming yes but the game hasn't been that fun for a long time. 

And when irl got in the way a gov member would step down and be replaced by the dude he was training. Being gov actually meant something you were the few who were willing to put the time into the game. 

 

Then I started raiding and found the most fun part of the game. To be a good raider it was down to you to put in the time. I would then spend a few hours a day looking for targets or potential ones, save a certain link for next time. Check bank transactions and war activity of pretty much every nation in game. And felt a sense of achievement as I rose through the ranks as a early raider. The bots I feel have taken away the fun of the game plus the nerfs did't help, you succeeded on how much time you were willing to put in and you ahceived on your own merit. 

The bots have made the game lazy thats the real problem.

What are spies?

[Feedback from war: Soldiers - Tanks - Planes - Ships]

Tanks are op. Maybe up the cost. Or lower the amount of planes they can kill. 

[Feedback from war: Missiles/Nukes]

As a person who’s threw his fair share of both weapons. They are  absolutely fine. 
 

if anything iron dome is op. Nothing needs to be changed.

Alex said he will not gonna delete parts of our bank or refund what we lost when they got banned. We haven't gained anything from them since each penny went into building them up to city 15. We lost about $2.5b from them + $500m loan we gave to them when they created HA. So we lost about $3b. You can see everything here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mwZbAUrQND-_KuyoEIwtU55_3QiKP3l6qyedTSMcinw/edit?usp=sharing

Confirmation from Alex:

PS to all raiders, we don't store anything valuable in the alliance bank. 

Because we taxed them 100/100 and everyone had to be on one city build if they wanted to receive grants for new cities.

Ps to all raiders........sounds like a challenge
