Crowdfunding for Evony ATH alliance bot.
These funds are used to run the bots that auto rally monsters. Cost breakdown (per month):
$33 - iScout Mechanist license. iScout is a service that scans the Evony map to automate quickly finding monsters. Without it, it is not possible to compete against others who use this service since it can find monsters faster than 100 people. The mechanist license allows the use of an API that can auto feed the bot to start rallies without any human intervention.
$15 - 6-7 licenses of ESB-TKR. This is the bot that actually runs the game autonomously. Each license can run one instance of the game, and the number of total instances is limited by the power of my desktop computer. Currently the max instances I can run is ~6. Current alliance accounts using ESB-TKR: FSR, Bawk, S.D., Fued, Sully, ATHAlt (for administrative tasks, like scanning chat or finding alliance Vikings)
$50 - electricity. Running bots 24/7 is very electricity intensive and the computer consumes approximately 300 watts / hour. 300 watts x 24 hours x 30 days = 216 kwh. My local electric rate is $0.23 cents per kilowatt hour. 216 x $0.23 = $49.68.
All this adds up to about $100 USD per month for the privilege of auto rallying monsters and growing as fast as possible. I am asking if you benefit from this service to contribute to its monthly cost.
