This page plays an important role, the role of keeping bots out of the game. Bots are programs that will repeatedly try to do one thing, even when the player is not online. The "Are You Human" page keeps out bots by putting a picture of a number on the screen that has a corresponding link which needs to be clicked in order to continue. As simple as it may seem, it gets annoying to all the players who don't cheat. But, it is effective and bans you if you click the wrong number multiple times. So be sure to get it right on the first few tries!

Also,if you have problems seeing the picture, try pressing F5. What this does is refreshes your page and attempts to reload the image. You may also click on the refresh tab on your browser. It might take several tries to do this, but eventually, you'll see the number that needs to be clicked.

The "Are You Human" page was updated in the batch of Round 10 Updates. These upgrades will prevent new technologies of building bots to cheat in the game. If you discover a possible player using bots/macros, report them to Staff immediately! People caught assisting the cheaters will have their account(s) locked with no exceptions.

What do I do?

It is very simple. All you have to do is click on the number that it tells you to in the image. Here is an example:

What is this?

The human check page is designed to prevent players for using programs to perform certain tasks such as:
• Explore land
• Train units
• Construct buildings
• Attack

Because programs can not read the what is shown in the image they will not work. We want to keep the game as fair as possible.

How often does it come up?

You will have to the random number every 2 hours if you are doing such tasks as exploring land, constructing buildings etc.

What will happen if I continue to enter the wrong text?

Your account will be automatically frozen.

The image isn't showing up!

There is a couple of things you can try if you can not see the image.

1. Hit Ctrl+F5 a few times. If this doesn't work, move onto the next step.

2. Make sure your browser is allowing images and your firewall isn't blocking them. If everything seems fine, go on to step 3.

3. It's possible that there could be an error in your computer's registry which is stopping your browser(s) from reading the correct image headers when the image is formed with php. Try downloading and running WinSock XP. If this does not work, please move on to step 4.

4. File a support ticket (Account Settings -> Customer Support). The staff will be happy to try and resolve this issue for you.
