im going to share what i found, not that i think its a big secret, but more so that everyone (at least everyone who reads the forum) is on an even playing field. I am guilty of farming bots, but i've found that its a boring way to play (but seemingly necessary if you want to compete for the win, which i still can't do)
bots generally have 0 spies, 0 turns on hand ,disproportionate amounts of troops/tanks compared with their turrets/jets, no attack/retal history.. towards the end of the week, they will have lots of cash on hand. Country names are obviously spit out from a word generator.
apparently they will eventually be programmed to retal, but as of last week they do not.
