Avatar: Realms Collide: How to Find and Plunder Bot Cities

To plunder resources effectively in Avatar: Realms Collide, identify unshielded inactive or bot cities, scout them to ensure their stored resources exceed warehouse protection caps, and deploy marches optimized for troop load. Raiding undefended bot accounts supplies large amounts of Food, Wood, and Stone without consuming stamina or risking diplomatic conflict with active alliances.

Identifying Inactive and Bot Accounts

Attacking active players invites retaliation and burns troops. Target automated bot accounts and abandoned farm bases instead. These accounts typically exhibit specific naming patterns and territorial traits across the server map:

Default Account Names: Cities labeled with "Player" followed by random number sequences or randomized lowercase strings.
Generic Alliance Tags: Alliances with two- to four-letter tags that lack descriptions, announcements, or diplomatic notices.
Static Power Levels: Groups where the alliance leader and members share identical, low power levels and low town hall tiers.
Neutral Territory Placement: Clusters of cities grouped on open ground without alliance borders, territory banners, or connected fortresses.
Missing Shields: Multiple adjacent bases that remain unshielded during server kill events and territory resets.

Finding a cluster of these accounts creates a safe harvesting area where your armies can cycle marches continuously without triggering alliance wars.

Scouting and Calculating Plunderable Resources

Never launch an attack march without scouting the target first. An unscouted city may contain garrisoned heroes or allied reinforcements that will fill your hospital beds.

Scouting provides three vital pieces of information: total resources, warehouse protection limits, and garrison strength. Every city's warehouse protects a baseline pool of resources that cannot be plundered. To determine your actual yield, subtract the warehouse protection cap from the total stored resources. For example, if a target holds 2,000,000 Food and has a warehouse cap of 1,500,000 Food, your troops can steal up to 500,000 Food.

Scout Report Metric	Key Check	Raiding Decision
Total Stored Resources	Raw Food, Wood, Stone, and Gold pools	Attack only if pools significantly exceed warehouse limits.
Warehouse Protection	Safe resource threshold	Subtract this cap from total resources to find stealable loot.
Stationed Troops	Wall defenders and defending heroes	Raid zero-garrison bases; skip bases with high-tier defenders.
Reinforcements	Troops sent by allied players	Abort the raid if outside reinforcements are present.

If a target holds substantial unprotected resources and zero stationed troops, launch your marches immediately. If defending units are present, calculate whether the potential healing costs in your hospital outweigh the plunderable resources before engaging.

Optimizing Troop Marches for Maximum Load

Resource raids require high march capacity rather than pure combat strength. Deploying high-tier combat units with low load ratings results in small hauls that leave loot behind.

Prioritize Siege Units: Siege troops carry the highest individual load capacity in the game. Using siege units allows a smaller army to carry hundreds of thousands of resources per run.
Use Minimal Combat Escorts: When attacking an empty base, include just enough frontline units to absorb any residual wall trap damage, then fill the rest of the march capacity with siege units.
Stagger Multiple Queues: If you have multiple march queues unlocked, dispatch them simultaneously. Send an initial wave to clear any minimal defense, followed immediately by high-capacity marches to strip the remaining resource pools before competitors spot the attack.

Plundering Safety and Risk Management

To keep your farming safe and maintain zero troop losses, follow these operational rules:

Avoid Established Alliance Tags: Never attack members of recognized alliances, even if their bases appear inactive or unshielded. Established alliances track combat logs, and an attack can trigger retaliatory strikes. Restrict raids strictly to tagless players, dead solo bases, or confirmed bot groups.
Monitor Hospital Capacity: Attacking an enemy base sends wounded units to your hospital. Ensure your hospital has enough empty beds before launching an attack. If your hospital reaches capacity, any additional wounded troops die permanently.
Minimize March Distance: Long-distance march lines on the world map expose your operations to rivals. Target bot clusters close to your alliance territory, plunder the resources quickly, and return your armies behind your own defenses.
