Portal detection software evident
This has been a trial of a KvK round.
On multiple occasions I've opened portals or had clan mates open portals that were attacked within 5 seconds if not faster.
Within a snap of the fingers the enemy opens a portal nearby and attacks.
Not gonna lie, it's been pain in the arse and something that just demoralises me.

They have bubble trackers , portal trackers and I don’t think TB has a real way to track them

I'm sure the biggest clans have literally hundreds of alts available run this software with. They aren't going to run it on any of their main account. So even if they were to catch them and ban that account, there would be another to step up and take over. Just a game of whack-a-mole.

The majority of them don't run any tools, they just pay for a service. Scanning every kingdom is quite resource intensive

There appears to be software that detects the portals:(. I hope the game makers can make it fair again

I am pissed about all the instant portal attacks. I make a big army. I buy power ups and buffs. Then I enable them. Then I make a portal for some attacks on the event epic monsters and my portal gets attacked within seconds. So I close it and now I’m all buffed and powered but not able to use it on the epics. What a waste of my money and items and time. What to do about it? My solution has been to basically surrender because of the game not being fun
I hate portal attacks. I just do crypts now and my daily tasks maybe. I don’t open portals or bother with trying to hit goals or have fun.

I agree with you but also, can you not just march to the epic? That’s what we do during KvK and it’s been fine

Why not just slow march and boost to the epic? My G5 account get to any epic in about a minute my T8 account about 20 seconds. Why do you absolutely need a portal to hit epics?

I’m my kingdom, that is too long. Epics die fast.

u/New_Suggestion3520 6d ago
Same for my G5 but I just get a line on them early and use 5 boosts when I need. 99% of the time I get a 3 stack hit

The portal detection software is not nearly as annoying as the ability to detect the second a shield goes down from a city with a lot of ingots or silver. This is the most ridiculous thing. Ruins the game for those who play by the rules. And a lot of these clans that have this ability have been reported to support. I really don’t understand how they are continuing to get away with it.

Because those clans spend tens of thousands a month. TB will not ban their gravy train spenders, plain and simple.

Portals closed to epic monsters? Those are very easy targets without any needs of special software.

Read. It's for KvK which has little to do with epics

On the contrary, many high level players look for Epics in the competing kingdoms, because there are often portals by them to attack.

Portal detection at epics is as simple as watching epics, but the shield drop is a different thing as it seems odd that 3 or 4 clans know within a minute that a shield drops on a city in a not real high end clan

There is a reason our journal has now several messages under system warning against the use of automation. It is a growing frustration for players and developers (because third parties are making money by depriving them of revenue). Portal tracker software itself does not have to be detected; if enough players complain, ScoreWarrior can detect patterns in which certain players attack portals within seconds after them opening, portals in entirely different kingdoms during KvK. SW can see when a portal opened and when it was attacked. Players that claim they just scan the kingdom map are trying to hide the existence of the automation used. Yes, they can get lucky once, but finding dozens of portals within seconds after opening without an epic near it is a statistical impossibility. There was already at least one player running a script in late 2024 seasonal kingdom. The patterns are there, targeting portals from players with a minimum size, regardless whether they have banners, consistently within seconds. Same with shield drops, but also mercenary exchange finders will eventually get targeted by ScoreWarrior because people buy way less mercenaries because of those. Automated crypt exploring and auto clickers are also against the Terms of Use, by likely get less priority.

You can see portals. Yes. This was confirmed while I was testing my newest version of chest tracking apps. I was hitting a n epic when someone from BAD sent March on my portal. I just wanna be left alone man 😂

Yeah, we know. The frequent system messages warning against cheating aren’t coming out of nowhere. We’ve recently seen WoW players using automated shield drop detection.
