It used to be skills only, now it is whoever knows what country is a bot and farms it first that gets fat and wins. It's my 3rd set not playing because of the bots. I would never have come back to the game if express had bots when i came back.

Yep; I got lucky last reset and farmed a couple bots that no one else had and got 14k land and top10.

I got top5 in the reset the bots weren't working.

Actually the bots favor techers because they have no price discretion.
Techers are topping $50M NW simply because bots will pay $5555 for tech all set long.
Then the techers tell us what great players they are.
Fix that one weakness and bots will not be as bad.
Let them retal and they will be a boon to the game.
Until then, I am in the large camp that does not like bots in the game.

I think that if we all took a vote that more would be in favor of bots. I don't see techers bragging about how good they are either. It is the easiest strat to play now without a doubt. Some are just better at it than others. Only Yeti has mastered it of the current players in my opinion.

I prefer farmer myself but I always do better with techer. So that is what I mostly play.

techers bloom while indies and farmers have harder times. currently express market sucks on indy's pov.

the teching market is pretty weak right now because everyone went techer.

Things change Mortcus, deal with it.

Unless something changes drastically this set, I think Rep Casher may have an easy time.
