How to use FanBot

Everything from your first login to fine-tuning the helper: what each button does, how the settings work and the few things worth knowing. The numbered pictures match the numbered points in the text. A browser is all you need.

Getting started

Five steps from buying to a helper that plays on its own. The first time takes about fifteen minutes.

1. 1

   Buy a slot

   Open a ticket under Support (purchase or extension) and choose your plan. The bank transfer details appear in the form; after paying, add a screenshot of the receipt to the ticket and we set up your slot.
2. 2

   Your account and slot are prepared

   Create your panel account, or let us create it for you. We assign your slot and its device, and it appears in My Panel.
3. 3

   Sign in to your game account

   Pick your slot and press Game account at the top. Enter the e-mail of your Rise of Kingdoms account and type the one-time code Lilith e-mails you — or use your password, and the helper types it for you.
4. 4

   Choose what the helper does

   Press OPEN HELPER SETTINGS, switch on the activities you want, adjust their options and press Save.
5. 5

   Start the helper

   Press the big START button of your slot. Opening the game takes a minute or two (sometimes up to five); then the slot shows Helper active and the event log on the right shows what the helper is doing.

Your panel

My Panel has three columns: your slots on the left, the slot you pick in the middle and the event log on the right. On a phone they come one below the other.

1. 1Slot list — every slot with its governor, its status (or its marches while it runs), what the helper is doing, its action points, the five resources, ID and alliance, and the time left. Each slot has its own START / STOP, Stream (live screen) and Settings buttons. Search by slot or governor name, ID, alliance or City Hall (for example “CH 25”), or show only active or waiting slots. Press a slot to open it in the middle.
2. 2Slot header — the slot’s name (the pencil renames it), its status and the time left (point at it to see the date), Get help, Game account until your game account is signed in, and the big START / STOP button.
3. 3Governor — your governor’s picture, name, City Hall and VIP level, alliance, power and kill points, read from the game about once a minute while the helper runs.
4. 4Preview and resources — the latest picture of the game, renewed about once a minute while the helper runs (tap it to see it large, or press Live stream to watch live), what the helper is doing right now, the five resources in your city with what came in today, and your action points. Daily gains opens the day-by-day totals.
5. 5Settings and scheduler — OPEN HELPER SETTINGS opens what the helper does; the card shows whether your last settings are applied. EDIT SCHEDULER sets when it runs; its card shows the next start.
6. 6Active marches — while the helper runs, every army on the map: its commanders and troops, what it was sent for and its target, whether it is on the way, gathering or coming home, its load or health and the time left. Scouts that are out show in the Scout Camp row.
7. 7Event log — what the helper does, line by line, as it happens. See “Event log” below.

With Attack Baulur on, a list of Baulur canyons appears under the active marches: the canyons the helper knows, whether Baulur is there or dead and when it comes back, your armies there and when the next round starts.

STOP stops the helper; START starts it again, and opening the game takes a minute or two. While the helper is offline the button is greyed out, and your last command is carried out as soon as it is back. With no activity switched on, START does not start the slot: turn on at least one activity in the settings first.

What the status means

• Helper active — the helper is playing.
• Starting… — the game is opening; this takes a minute or two. If it has not opened after 3 minutes, the panel closes it and opens it again.
• On hold — our team paused the helper on its computer for a moment (for example to check something); it carries on by itself.
• Device not responding — the helper cannot reach the game; this usually fixes itself within a few minutes.
• No response from the game — the helper has had no answer from the game for a while. If it goes on, the helper restarts the device by itself (a few times a day at most); if that is not enough, our team takes a look.
• Helper offline — the helper is offline; the buttons wait until it is back.
• Error — something went wrong; the line under the picture says what. The helper usually recovers by itself.

Signing in to the game

Press Game account at the top of your slot to sign your Rise of Kingdoms account in on it. The helper pauses while it signs in; if it was running, it starts again by itself afterwards. If it was not, the panel takes you to the helper settings: switch on the activities you want, press Save, then go back to your panel and press START.

1. 1Choose how — with a code, Lilith e-mails you a one-time code and your password is never needed; with your password, it is typed into the game once and deleted right away. We never store it.
2. 2E-mail — enter the e-mail of your game account (and the password, if you chose it) and start the sign-in.
3. 3Code — type the code from Lilith’s e-mail. If it does not arrive, check the spam folder; after a minute you can ask for a new code. Always use the newest one: after three wrong codes the sign-in stops.

When the window says the account is signed in, the helper plays on it; Game account disappears once the helper has read your governor. To move the slot to another game account, write to us under Support. If the game ever signs the account out completely, the helper cannot get in: your slot shows a warning and Sign in to your game account, and signing in again lets it carry on where it stopped. With notifications on, you hear about it on your phone too.

Live screen

Live stream, on the preview picture of your slot, shows the game as it is running on our server, in real time, while the helper runs. The window that opens when you tap the picture and the Stream button in the slot list open it too.

1. 1Watch only — the live screen shows what the helper is doing; taps on it do nothing. To sign your game account in, use Game account at the top of your slot.
2. 2Picture and full screen — Save picture downloads the current picture and Full screen fills your screen with it.
3. 3Views left — each slot’s live screen can be opened a few times an hour. The badge under the picture shows what is left: green, orange on the last one, red when none are left — the window then says in how many minutes you can open it again.

Settings

OPEN HELPER SETTINGS opens all the settings of the slot on one page.

1. 1Profiles — load a ready-made or your own profile, or save the current set-up as one (see “Profiles” below). Reset everything to default on the same row puts every setting back to its default; nothing changes until you save.
2. 2Search and filter — Search activities finds an activity by name; the tabs next to it show all activities, only those that are on, or only those you changed.
3. 3Activities — sorted into groups, each with how many are on. You see only the groups of your slot’s plan: with Solo every group except Alliance Management and Kingdom Management, with Leader only those two, with both plans all of them. The switch turns an activity on or off, the star keeps it at the top under Favorites, and pressing its name opens its options (on a phone, on a page of its own). Activities marked Automatic have no switch: the helper always does them. Activities marked In development are still being built; you can turn them on here once they are ready. Some small activities share one row, such as Daily Tasks: the number beside it shows how many of them are on, and pressing it lists them, each with its own switch.
4. 4Options — the chosen activity’s options; an empty number box shows its default. The Guide button next to the title explains the activity, and a button under it puts the activity back to its original settings. Activities that send armies have numbered troop queues: turn on Use this queue for each queue you want and choose its commanders and the rest of its options. Changing an option of an activity that is off, or turning on one of its queues, turns the activity on; turning off its last queue turns it off again.
5. 5Saving — once you change something a bar appears at the bottom: nothing reaches the helper until you press Save (Discard changes throws the changes away). A notice at the top right then says Saved. If the helper is offline, the notice says so: the settings are saved and applied when it connects.

Commander lists come from the game: until the helper has run once, choose Any idle commander. To pick an alliance member, press Read my alliance first.

Activity and option names follow the panel’s language; in other languages the helper’s own English name is shown under each activity’s title.

Activity groups

57 activities in 10 groups, in the same order as on the settings page. 49 of them come with the Solo plan and the 8 in Alliance Management and Kingdom Management with the Leader plan; a slot with both plans has all of them.

Worth knowing

• Create New Character creates new characters on the account. This cannot be undone: the game has no way to delete a character.
• With Re-Login From Another Device on, when you sign in to the game account on another device, such as your phone, the helper leaves the game alone for the minutes you set (10 by default) and then signs back in. With it off, the helper signs back in at once and your other device is signed out.
• Alliance Donation donates gold, never gems.
• In Gather Gems, each army takes a random number of soldiers within its queue’s Troop count range (15,000 – 20,000 by default). For a fixed number, write the same number in both boxes; a single number you set before stays fixed.
• In Gather Gems, Steal gem mines (race armies already marching to a gem) also sends an army to a free gem mine that another player’s army is already marching to, racing it there. A mine an army is already gathering is never marched at. The box is off by default: such mines are left alone.
• Gather Gems (Fast) has the same kind of settings as Gather Gems, including each queue’s troop range, but finds gem mines faster. Turn on only one of the two: they would compete for the same armies.
• In Chain Barbarians, every ticked army chains in the field at the same time. In the field at the same time keeps fewer out: the helper sends the first ticked army whose commanders are free and the others are spares. An army walking home counts until it reaches the city. More armies kill faster and use up action points sooner.
• With Chain Barbarians and Gather Gems on the same account, gathering can hold every march queue; the chain then waits, sometimes for hours. Tick Recall a gathering army when every march queue is busy and, once the chain has the action points to start, the helper calls the gathering army closest to the city home and keeps its queue for the chain; gem armies go back out afterwards.
• Alliance Mobilization Quests takes quests from your alliance’s Alliance Mobilization board, does them and hands each one in as soon as the game counts it done. The other activities keep running: gathering and barbarian quests use the armies that are free. It never takes a quest the helper cannot finish, such as a purchase, and never pays gems for more quests.
• Bastion Quests and Alliance Mobilization Quests train, for each kind of their training, power and speedup quests, the troop types ticked under that kind’s box in their settings, at the tier and batch size set in Train Troops. A kind with no type ticked is not taken.
• Under the settings of Members you see your alliance’s members and pending applications; Read from the game reads them from the game while the helper runs. If the account is R4 or the leader, you can promote or demote a member, kick a member or answer an application from there. An R4 cannot change the rank of another R4 or kick them.
• Under the settings of Alliance Mobilization Event is the Mobilization board: Read from the game reads your alliance’s quests from the game while the helper runs, with their points and the member who holds each one, and Refresh swaps a free quest for a new one. Only R4 or the leader can refresh; a refreshed place shows its new quest five minutes later.
• Title Management works only on the King’s account or an R4 account that also has the in-game right to appoint titles. Kingdom Management and Alliance Management activities work only on Leader plan slots. Rally and title records appear as a table under each activity’s settings, and you can download them as an Excel file.
• Under the settings of City Finder, write a governor’s ID or name and press Search: the result shows where their city is, with their alliance, power and kill points; if the governor is not found, try again later. An ID finds any governor on the map this account is on, in your alliance or not; a name is found only when it appears in your alliance, in a kingdom scan or in the Kingdom city ledger. City Finder asks the game itself, without moving the camera. Below are its latest results and the Kingdom city ledger: the cities that every slot on the same map has found (your kingdom’s map at home, the KvK map during KvK), searchable by name or governor ID.
• Scan Kingdom Data sends no march and spends nothing. It scans when you press Scan now in its settings; its results appear there.

Settings per character

A Rise of Kingdoms account can hold several characters. On a slot with the Solo plan, the helper can switch between them, and each character can run its own settings.

1. 1

   Switch on Switch Character and set after how many minutes it switches (it picks a random time between the two numbers).

2. 2

   In the Characters bar at the top of the settings page, choose Each its own settings.

3. 3

   In Characters in the rotation, under the settings of Switch Character, press Read the character list. The list comes from the game.

4. 4

   In the bar, press a character. Without its own settings the page opens as a copy of the Shared settings; change something and save, and the character has its own settings. Activities that differ from the shared settings are marked differs, and Make it like the shared settings sets one back to the shared settings. On its page you can also set how long its turn lasts: longer for a character that chains barbarians, shorter for one that only gathers.

Profiles

A profile is a complete set of settings you load in one go. The Profile list at the top of the settings page has two groups: Ready-made and My profiles.

• Loading a profile — choose one and its settings fill the page. Check them, then press Save. The profile replaces the settings of the slot, except character switching and per-character settings, which stay as they are.
• Your own profiles — Save as profile keeps the settings on the page as your own profile, which you can then load on any of your slots. Manage my profiles lets you rename or delete them. You can keep up to 20.

The smart scheduler can load a profile by itself when a run time starts — a different one for the day and the night, for example.

Smart scheduler

The smart scheduler starts the helper at the times you choose and stops it when the time is up.

Press EDIT SCHEDULER on the smart scheduler card of your slot.

1. 1On or off — adding a range switches Run this slot on a schedule on automatically. With it off, the helper runs only when you start it.
2. 2Run times — add up to 8, for example 09:00–13:00 and 22:00–02:00; a run time can go past midnight. Run times may touch but not overlap, and each lasts at least half an hour. All times are in UTC; the window shows what time it is in UTC right now.
3. 3Profile and offset — each run time can load a profile when it starts, and a random offset of up to 30 minutes moves its start and stop, differently every day, so no two days look the same.
4. 4Today’s plan — lists which profile runs when and the total run time of the day.

• Inside a run time the helper runs for the whole time, even when its tasks are done; run times that touch hand over without a stop. When the time is up the helper stops. A run time with less than 15 minutes left is not started.
• If you press START or STOP yourself, the scheduler waits until the next run time begins or ends. The card on your slot shows when the next start is due.
• The scheduler never starts an expired slot; the schedule carries on once the slot is renewed.

Daily gains

Daily gains, under the resources of your slot, shows the resources in your city now and what came into the cities on each day (gathering, city production, alliance territory and rewards; spending is not subtracted). While the helper runs, today’s totals are updated about once a minute. Days follow UTC time.

1. 1Period, resource and character — choose the last 14 or 30 days and which resource the chart shows; when the account has several characters, you can also see one of them on its own.
2. 2Chart — one bar per day; a day with only a faint mark at the bottom means the helper sent nothing that day, an empty day means nothing of that resource came in.
3. 3Summary — the total, the average per active day, the best day and the number of active days; a table below lists every day.
4. 4What the helper did — barbarians defeated, gem mines gathered, fort rallies started and rallies joined, day by day.

Event log

The Event log on the right of your panel lists what the helper does, as it happens. It refreshes itself every few seconds and keeps the last 7 days.

1. 1Tabs — show everything, or only gathering, barbarians and rallies, rewards or alliance lines.
2. 2Lines — each line is short: the time and the activity, in the helper’s own English words; the same line repeated within a few minutes shows once. Errors are shown in red. On a filter tab every line also gets a coloured tag.
3. 3How many lines and clear — Last 20 chooses how many lines you see (20, 50 or 100), and Clear only empties the screen: nothing is deleted and new lines keep coming.

Short technical hiccups that fix themselves are left out, so the lines you see are the ones that matter.

Account, notifications, app and Telegram

The bar at the top is the same on every page of your panel.

• Menu — My Panel, Guide and My Account; the language button switches the panel’s language, and Sign out signs you out on all your devices.
• Your account — My Account shows your name and e-mail, turns notifications on (see below) and lets you change your panel password (at least 8 characters); your other devices are then signed out. For security, changing the password also removes the account’s notification devices and Telegram link — turn them on again afterwards.
• On a phone — the menu button at the top holds these links, Support, Discord and Telegram, and the bar at the bottom of the screen has My slots, Settings, Scheduler and Guide: your slots, the settings and smart scheduler of the slot you chose, and this guide.
• Notices — news from our team, such as planned maintenance, arrives in the bell at the top of your panel. With notifications on, it reaches your phone too.

Use it as an app

Install the panel on your phone or computer and it opens from its own icon, full screen or in a window of its own. On Android, and in Chrome or Edge on a computer, press Install on the Use FanBot as an app card of My Panel. On iPhone and iPad, tap Share in Safari, then “Add to Home Screen”; on a Mac, choose File, then “Add to Dock” in Safari. No card? Your browser’s menu has “Install app” or “Add to Home screen”.

Notifications

Your phone or computer can tell you when something needs your attention. Press Turn on notifications on this device on My Account and allow notifications when the browser asks; Send a test notification checks that they arrive. Turn them on once on each device you want them on.

There you choose which of these you hear about; your choice applies to all your devices:

• Signed out of the game
• Slot stuck or restarted
• Period ending
• Anti-cheat warning mail
• Game account sign-in
• Signed in on another device
• Army attacked
• Daily summary
• Scheduler
• Announcements
• Support replies
• New support messages

The bell at the top of the panel keeps the same notifications for 30 days, also on a device where you never turned them on. The number on the bell shows the new ones; opening it marks them as read. Your choices on My Account decide what lands there too.

Telegram

Link your account to our Telegram bot and you can do some of your panel’s work from Telegram too.

• Linking — My Account → Telegram → Create link, then open it in Telegram and press Start. The bot shows your account’s masked e-mail; press Confirm and the page switches to “Linked” by itself. If the chat is already linked to another panel account, remove that link first — there under My Account → Telegram, or with /unlink in the bot. You can unlink at any time in the same place.
• Notifications — everything that comes as a web notification arrives in Telegram too; the switches above decide which.
• 📊 My slots — each slot’s status (running, stopped, offline), its governor and power, the days left and today’s gains.
• 🎫 Support — see your tickets and open a new one; our reply arrives in Telegram in full, and ↩️ Reply lets you answer from there. Use the panel to add images.
• ❓ FAQ — short answers to common questions; the bot’s 🛒 How to buy and price pages are open to everyone too.
• 📖 Guide — what each activity does and what its settings mean, group by group, open to everyone. With your account linked, 🛠 Set it up in the panel opens that activity in your slot’s settings. The other guide topics open this page.
• Commands — /menu, /slots, /support, /faq, /guide, /language, and /cancel to drop a ticket you are writing.

Good habits

A few habits that save trouble later.

• Start small. On a new account, switch on a few activities first and add more once they run well.
• Read before you spend. Options that use gems or items do exactly that. Tick them only when you mean it.
• Give the account a break. A few hours off every day is easy to set up with the smart scheduler.

Support

For anything this guide does not answer, open a ticket under Support. It works like a conversation: you write, our team answers on the same page.

• Opening a ticket — press New ticket, choose what it is about and, if it concerns a slot, pick the slot. Describe what happened and since when. The form also points to guide sections that may already have the answer.
• From your slot — Get help, at the top of your slot next to START / STOP, opens the form with that slot already chosen. On an expired slot the type Purchase or extension is chosen too, so you can ask to renew it.
• Answers — when our team replies, the ticket shows Answered. With notifications on, your phone tells you too.
• From Telegram — if you linked Telegram, you can also open tickets with the bot’s 🎫 Support button and answer ours with ↩️ Reply. More under Telegram above.
• Images — add up to 3 images to a message (PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 2 MB each) with the button under the text box, or paste a screenshot into the box.
• Closing — close a ticket once it is solved. You can still write to it for 3 days and it opens again; closed tickets are deleted after 5 days.
• Limits — you can have up to 3 open tickets at a time and open up to 6 new tickets in 24 hours; the images on all your tickets together may take up to 60 MB (space frees up as closed tickets are deleted). A ticket with no activity for 30 days closes by itself; like any closed ticket, you can still write to it for 3 days and it is deleted 5 days after closing.
• Languages — our team answers in English and Turkish, so please write in one of them.
