Tribal Wars 2 farm bot | FarmManager

[myego]

Hi there, first of all many thanks for this tool, generally its amazing!

Now, i would like to list some issues:

1. The tool stops when there are not enough units to re-execute an attack. This is not a huge issue and can be overcome by always having enough units in the villages

2. The tool typically executes the first full cycle of attacks completely and well (reads all unread reports and sends all attacks). However, in the second cycle it leaves out villages / attacks in a seemingly random fashion. I wasn't able to determine the cause of this. I tried to get the farming on only in one of my villages to see if multiple villages cause the issue. It wasn't the case attacks still get omitted. The last thing i haven't tried is to farm with one type of unit only. But not sure if this would fix it.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Why do you think that?

It is not random, the bot does not send an attack to the village if this village is already being attacked.
To be more precise: if there was an outgoing movement to the target village when the bot read the movements (it does this after every break).

The answer to point #1 is: i came to this conclusion by observing what the tool does.

The second point: there is something wrong with the algorithm. Its not that the tool does not send an attack when there is already an outgoing command. It would be a rare situation unless one sends multiple attacks to the same target, which I don't. Based on observation the algorithm is rather not sending attacks when there is no command outstanding to the particular target - i.e. there was an attack and a report, but the units have returned home during the break.

I would need to spend more time testing what happens, but as a matter of fact the tools slowly dies out and at one point of time stops sending any attacks. Reads the reports and does nothing.

I have the same issue with the bot as mentioned above.

Any news boss?

I would propose the algorithm as follows:

1. Read unread report
2. Jump to town
3. Send attack
4. Move to next

There are no checks necessary if there is an outgoing command or not. Just always send. Stop when there is no unread report and take a variable break.

Yes, I will add some reporting to the bot. This will enable us to take a closer look at what happens for specific reports and why.

I have no time to implement a variant which is only useful for one player. I don't expect many users want to attack again a village with defence where they loose their troops every time.

Why do you think that your tool prevents attacking villages were I loose units? I think if one needs to choose between correct farming and paying attention to set it up rightly at the start, I would set it up correctly and ensure that I do not attack defended villages. If so, there could be a check that if the report is not green then no attack is sent. As such I am not sure what do you mean.

Currently, it takes me more time to supervise the bot, correct the attacks or just restart it than to attack myself. I do not know if you noted, but the bot behaves differently when it attacks the first time after you run it and after the breaks..... If it did run the same way after the breaks as during the first run, i would not bother to change it - would work OK.

Because it does not attack villages where casualties where reported for the last attack on this village.

Nope, never saw something like this happen. I will add some reporting to the bot. This will enable us to take a closer look at what happens for specific reports and why.
