[SUG]: Start em.

ah, i was wondering why my techs haven't been bought and jets cost over 180 bucks at FFA.

It also explains why tech has crashed from $8000 to $6000 in a day and a half on FFA

Express also, I believe.

Yes it's all bots everywhere. I realized it yesterday but figured it would be dealt with already when I woke up. That has not happened.

If you look only on tech prices it is far less apparent than if you look at tech volumes especially of res/bus tech and compare to before when the bots were on.

I just saw this post. I kicked it up to the admins. I will post here when they are back

Bots are coming back up.

noticed, news were filled with sold techs.

What do these bots do and how do they work exactly

bots sell military über cheap and buy techs at ridiculous prices and are landsource enabling new players to learn game w/o getting farmed everyday (in theory).

Can you stop talking marshal?

If the military prices are high, indy bots sell military high. same with tech and food. And 80% of all bots don't even sell military so your statement is at least 90% incorrect. It's the fact that indy bots produce more military than the casher farmer and techer bots buy that shifts the market equilibrium price lower. Techer bots don't tech nearly enough tech to keep tech prices below even $9k if there are only bots in the game(check AI server for that) though it has nothing to do with what prices the bots buy at, what else are they supposed to do with their money? keep it on hand for you to grab? Come on.

why yes. we gotta finance building up that land we have grabbed from bots somehow.

Do the bots respect a price minimum/maximum or do they adapt respectively without limits??

if you mean do bots have same limits on prices and quantities than human players have then yes. it'd be stupid if bots would be able to sell below autobuy prices on public market (i'm totally sure alot players would love it) or higher price than human players.

To actually answer your question Chaotik, they adapt without any sane limits. This is why you saw tech at 8k+ and military prices were ~50 for troops/turrets/jets and ~250 for tanks, on FFA, before the bots died for a couple days.

This is very useful information thank you.
