Hello Utharnl,
Here's some more info and some correction on your list:

Shelter 1: Storage 5, Infantry barrack 5
Forge shop 10: City Hall 3
Posthouse 1: City Hall 2 (probably with the Union chamber 1)
Infantry Barrack 2: Forge shop 4
Infantry Barrack 3: Forge shop 6
Infantry Barrack 4: Forge shop 8
Infantry Barrack 5: Forge shop 10
Infantry Barrack 6: Forge shop 12

Also, mines are slightly different than your list:

Iron 6: City Hall 2
Quarry 6: City Hall 2
Sawmill 6: City Hall 2
Farm 6: City Hall 2

Iron/Quarry/Sawmill 10: City Hall 3
Farm 11: City Hall 3

There is certainly other conditions for higher level mines but I didn't write them down. Sorry...

Hope it could help complete the list. With some other who could help, I think we gonna have it good. I should try it to see if it works good. I have a little interrogation on mines, as long as there is now 4 'stages' of mines that could go to level 30 each (that was not the same in V1 of the game).

Thanks a lot.

New update:
I don't know if this info is founded but I heard that there won't be any other server of V2 because Hithere is not profitable with this version.

As a matter of fact, the new server S22 that opened 2 weeks ago (August 3rd, 2010) is a V1.9. So, the first bot should be working there.

Only a question about that matter: Could it be possible to see you develop the old bot again? This old bot works pretty good but I think the devil recognition for the heroes that are sent on hunting would be a really nice update to the bot, if this is possible to do. Like I said before, the soldiers losses would be greatly diminished and the ressources could serve for developping buildings instead of too many soldiers recruitment.

Thanks again.

P.S.: I'm gonna be taking a class on winter (January 2011), at the university, probably, to learn how to work on bots and maybe, I should be able to aid :-).

Hello,

i'm currently played empire in indonesia, in here they called them Empire Heroes (empire.gameweb.co.id). Do you have any bots for this server ? They only have 1 server (s1.empire.gameweb.co.id). Thanks before

No sorry don't have a bot for that version. And the university started again so I'll only be working on the Grepolis bot.

//edit
I'll put this project on hold for the time being, not sure when I'll continue.

it keeps getting stuck at "get hero IDs"

any tips?

It could be that the bot is broken by now, I don't work on it any more.
This is mostly because the developers of Empire Craft don't do much with Empire Craft II and that almost all new servers have Empire Craft I.

But the source code is available in the start post, so if somebody wants they can continue with the project.

Hey well idk maybe kinda late but i was wandering why the bot get bugged after i type the bildig queue ?
i got 2 citys is there a problems or smth ..
Bot 1 works perfectly but the problem is on the version 2 bot :S

@pipero
No sorry to get that working correctly will cost quite some time.

@XPulcinoX
I stopped working on EC II because most of the servers are running EC I.
When I stopped only the building queue was working fine. Not sure if it still works though.
I haven't any plans to continue but like I said in a previous post the source code is available if someone else want to continue with the bot.
