Additional Action Taken Against Bot Users
In response to community concerns, today we have banned a further 20 accounts for clear use of a particular third-party program or "bot" that interacts with Stronghold Kingdoms. Like the previously banned accounts, these accounts have been permanently banned and can never be recovered.
We are continuing to investigate the use of third party programs in Stronghold Kingdoms across all accounts and anticipate issuing further bans in the future regardless of rank, past payments, or in-game status.
We hope that this serves as a final warning to any players continuing to use this bot.

Re: Additional Action Taken Against Bot Users
Thank you. It's nice to know that FF is finally cracking down on cheaters, but I hope you extend it to include ALL BOT USE . . . not just this particular one.
When injustice is law, resistance becomes duty . . .

Re: Additional Action Taken Against Bot Users
It's still a bot that's not allowed to be used.....the premium token allows an event within it's own parish only and happens about once every 3 hours or something like that.....having a bot running around in all areas for 24/7 is an entirely different and cheating manner, good grief..sounds like you are using them!

Re: Additional Action Taken Against Bot Users
With or without is irrelevant, at least that's what FF have said. Use a bot with one, banned. Use a bot without, banned. (If caught.)

As part of our continuing investigation and in response to community concerns we have taken action against additional accounts. We are continuing to monitor this situation and will take additional action as needed.

Re: Additional Action Taken Against Bot Users
i dont use bot. But who have family and work. They use bot so they dont spend time trading and doing things. So i dont really judge them.
..it is in war time that matters. To be active. But in peace time..its ok if bot do your * so you dont have to spend lot of time in game
id botworks against you. anyone can activate it..and then it gives away when you are offline.YOu get razed by non timed armys.
In war good players turn off id bot.
what is important FOR ME. That my teamates dont do multi accounts.
Bot scouting is bad..it turns new players from game. That need to be taken action. But yellow then red card. Firefly First warn, then 2nd time ban.
especially veteran players you shouldnt ban straight away.
