NPDs

Non-Player Dominions or bots are randomly generated dominions that are spawned prior to OOP to facilitate attacking since inactive dominions are virtually non-existent after adding Click-Through Protection (CTP). Ordinary NPDs are assigned automated explorer behavior, including training and exploration.

Land Size

NPDs are located in Realm 0 'The Graveyard' along with inactive dominions that have not left protection. Automatic spawning targets round(human dominions * 0.8) bots. The actual total can differ because each starting-land bucket is rounded separately.

Defense

NPDs spawn with defense based on this formula 55 * exp(0.007 * [Total Land]) up to 500 acres and this formula 34 * exp(0.008 * [Total Land]) above 500 acres, multiplied by a random factor. For ~85% of NPDs, the random factor is the product of two independent 0.95-1.05 factors, giving an exact range of 0.9025-1.1025. For the remaining ~15%, it is 1.15-1.20. The low-range values in the table below are approximate. Dominions on the lower end of the spectrum will spawn with a random amount of offensive specialists to mask the increased networth of those on the higher end. At creation, each NPD receives incoming defensive units sized from 2 * [Total Land] + random(200, 500) additional defense, subject to unit rounding. The source queues one to three early batches at hours 5-10 and one or two late batches at hours 11-13, with 40-60% of each unit type held for the late batches. After the immediate spawn tick, the remaining arrival times are 4-9 hours and 10-12 hours respectively. The larger dominions are more likely to have Guard Towers, but none of them have walls until later in the round (so no need to castle spy at OOP).

Behavior

Ordinary explorer NPDs have a configured maximum size between 450 and 3500 acres. Their hourly action check has a 25-40% chance of skipping the turn, so they attempt their routine on 60-75% of checks. They build barren acres, cast spells, train defense and spies/wizards, invest, and explore when resources and other action requirements permit. Each modified defensive spy/wizard target ratio is min(35, daysInRound) * coefficient, with a separately chosen coefficient of 0.010-0.025 for spies and wizards. They attempt to renew configured spells when absent or below 4 hours remaining; the ordinary AI routine runs around 30 minutes into the hour. They may explore up to 24 acres per action when less than 120 acres of exploration are already incoming and total land including incoming is below their configured maximum. A single order can therefore bring incoming exploration up to 143 acres.

Administrators can also create attacker NPDs as Orc, Spirit, or Vampire. If created, these bots train offense and invade other bots in Realm 0, The Graveyard, instead of exploring. Their targets must have no player account and be in the same realm, so they never attack players.

NPDs train defense toward the following formulas. [DaysAsFraction] = daysInRound + 3 + hoursInDay / 24, using the round's day and hour counters. The reference table below uses [DaysAsFraction] = day + 3 and rounded values; actual hourly targets include the hour-counter term.
