Are bots not working this round?

Good

Too many hits too early. Bots don't have ability to grow. Buy turrets.

Was this the new method to get humans to hit each other?? /s

One of the big reasons behind the bots, at least in express, was to avoid the retals and eoss from players who were raped during the early build/ grab cycle. Everyone got hit 2-3 times by like 5 different countries. Your set never had a chance, so......

We also have 2x the human players this round. A combination of Alliance battles and bored vets checking in.

Good time to farm players

This is your set to win, right?

I’ve missed turns already logged into 360(360). Too bad I didn’t know about the lack of bots earlier to give it an honest effort

We have a couple fewer humans so far than last set. Its pretty easy to check if you look at top players and go back a set, compare number of countries. The bots all started this set, so we have 60, they are just not taking turns for a while. :)

That was interesting. According to my last ops they stopped at ~750 turns
Any ideas?

Edit: When they went active again most had (360) reserve

eestats and earthgraph is down too, not sure if related.

Earthgraphs is down more than its up, I pay it no attention normally. But Eestats is usually only down for a few hours before bore fixes some protocols or does some other technical stuff.

Anyone know if bots crashed in other servers as well?

Ah ok, I never use earthgraphs, as for eestats it's been down for days now, it's looking like it might not get fixed.



FFA players reported they're down there as well.

Are they still down? Express ones kick-started towards the end.

Dunno 🤷
