They may be out of cash. The bots are still depending on real players to stimulate the market. If you don't buy their goods, they can't buy yours. My guess is indy bots might be put of cash. They are programmed not to kill themselves by destroying their PCI

I messaged the commie bots and we are going to starve the military market to keep prices high and demand high.

based on avg price last 48 hrs tmbr would get 10 bucks profit on troops, 31 bucks profit on jets, 16 bucks per turret and 161 bucks profit on tanks.

doubt bots are out of cash but those aren't getting much profit on sales either so growing up is slow.

When the bots go down it tends to be an issue on several or all servers, which is not the case here. Not having enough cash is the logical explanation.

If most of you run explorers or lower-land techers without as much grabbing, it makes even more sense that indy bots would struggle.

indy bots would have more cash if they'd sell their goodies at higher price not priv sell price + taxes + 1-3 bucks but that's upto qz to fix.

I think its fine for the sake of this discussion. There may be a better answer on the AI board or older express threads.

Maybe they wait on a certain amount of cash/food to be on hand before they run turns. If bots always log out with zero turns then they may be waiting before they can run a full set of turns. I'm really just guessing, though.

It is not at all uncommon for the bots to fail en masse. We then wait for the top dog to return home from his trip and turn them back on. This has happened about six times in the last year. That is why they all stop simultaneously.

They're working in other servers. I don't think they have "failed" but I can't say for sure. I'll PM an admin anyway

Let them know to fix it ASAP or I will bombard their cellular device with pictures of my scrotum.

I hope they dont get fixed. Set turns into a joke when they go offline for 2plus days only to return and immediately buyout all the tech and provide huge land gains for the 1st hits.

I stand corrected. Apparently they stopped last week. I do not recall when they stopped on one server and not the others but it happened.

Why don't they make more republic/theo cashers then? at least then tech revenue wouldn't be dependent on indy sales
