The problem of bots and piloting has worsened again in Rise of Kingdoms: what is happening and how the developers are reacting
Disputes about bots, piloting and cheats have once again flared up in the Rise of Kingdoms community. The reason was a fresh analysis on riseof.ru dated October 5, 2026, and then the topic was picked up by videos and discussions in gaming communities: players complain that automation and third-party software distort fair fight in the kingdoms.
The problem is not new, but the scale is frightening. There are ready-made bot farms in the public domain - for example, the public repository Rise-of-Kingdoms-Bot on GitHub, which anyone can deploy for automatic farming of resources, round-the-clock collections and scoring points. Piloting - managing someone else's account for money - has long turned into a shadow industry around the game.
What does this mean for ordinary players?
- Distortion of ratings. Bot accounts are constantly farming kill points and resources, pushing honest players out of the top of the season.
- Unfair advantage in KVK. Accounts pumped by pilots dominate the battlefield and break the balance of entire seasons for thousands of participants.
- Risks for customers. Transferring an account to a pilot often results in theft, and the use of cheats results in permanent blocking.
How developers and the community are reacting
Lilith Games periodically carries out waves of blocking, cleaning out tens of thousands of violating accounts, and the built-in reporting system allows you to signal suspicious activity. However, the community believes that the fight is going on with varying degrees of success: bots are evolving, and the piloting market continues to flourish.
What an ordinary player can do: do not use third-party software, do not transfer your account to third parties, and report suspicious accounts through the built-in complaint system. This is the only way ratings will start to mean something again.
