Usually you can use the TCommander Bot to play up to 10 hours per day with a single game account to avoid bot detection. In the game you can extend the time to be online by calling some friends to play with your account so it can be active 24 hours a day while you are sleeping or away. This is called duals (other persons that play with your game account). In TCommander Bot you can simulate dual accounts by using the Proxy Switcher tool. A very advanced and user-friendly tool that use proxies to let you play the game 24 hours a day without calling other friends to play for you. So you can do everything alone!
Bear in mind that the Proxy Switcher tool is available in the Professional version (PRO) of TCommander Bot or higher.
Proxy Switcher: Getting ready
NOTE: Since the Lobby system we released, duals in game are allowed only from different lobby accounts. This mean that you have to connect to the game with different lobby accounts in order to extend the online activity of your main game account. To achieve this, you have to register more than one lobby account in the game and then go to the lobby page of your main lobby account and invite the other lobby accounts to play in your server.
But… WARNING!!!
It’s very important to know how to setup your lobby accounts correctly to avoid any suspicious activity with the bot that could be detected by multi-hunters. So before continuing with this manual, you have to read first: How to setup your lobby accounts correctly to extend bot activity.
If you don’t follow that manual strictly, they could detect a suspicious activity and your game account might be at risk.
In general, you need to have a text file containing the data of each lobby account and the proxy info that you will use with it to login through the bot:
- Lobby account username or email
- Lobby account password.
- Proxy IP, proxy port and proxy credentials if needed.
Each lobby account must have a separate proxy IP.
You can purchase reliable https proxies in https://fineproxy.org/
Now that you have your lobby accounts ready, you can start using the Proxy Switcher.
Bear in mind that in this manual and in TCommander Bot, every time we mention “dual account” or “dual”, we are referring to a lobby account that is not your main lobby account.
Proxy Switcher (Add your first dual account)
Step 1: (Open Main Settings window)
Go to top menu “Settings”/ “Main Settings”:
Highlighted red area is the “Proxy Switcher” settings. There you will be able to manage your dual accounts and its online time schedule.
Step 2: (Add dual account)
Push “Add dual account” blue button:
Fill all the fields with your lobby account credentials, check “Use Proxy?” check box and enter all proxy info.
At this point, it’s very important that you not confuse the proxy info. If you enter a proxy that is associated to a different Lobby account that is not the one that you are adding at this moment, you could be banned! So make sure to enter the correct proxy IP!
This confusion might happen because you may have more than one lobby account and each lobby account should use its own proxy IP and it should not be shared among other lobby accounts.
Push “Save dual account & Login” blue button and travian bot will login with that lobby account to verify that all data is correct.
Possible Error Messages
You may see some error notifications while trying to add a new dual account:
Error 1:
You cannot add dual accounts with the same IP or proxy. It is supposed that each dual account has a different proxy IP. This error indicates that you are trying to add a dual account with a proxy or IP that is already used by an existing dual account.
Error 2:
You cannot add a dual account twice; it is supposed that you add different lobby accounts in your settings. The red error message indicates that you are trying to add a lobby account that already exists in your list of duals.
You can up add up to 3 dual accounts.
Step 3: (Setup online schedule)
Once the lobby account is added. You will see its time scheduler control:
At this point, all hours are offline (red state), you can start clicking all available ours to set them online.
If certain hour is grey (disabled), it means that it is unavailable for that dual account because it’s already taken be the previous lobby accounts, so you cannot click it.
Green hour:
It means that the bot will be online during that period of time for that account. In the sample image above shows the online time from 12:00 AM to 1:00 AM.
Red hour:
It means that the bot will be offline during that period of time for that account. In the sample image above shows the offline time from 14:00 to 15:00.
Grey hour:
It means that the bot cannot setup online time for that period of time in that account because it is already online in a previously added account. It is disabled (cannot be clicked). In the sample image above it means that the bot will be offline from 18:00 to 19:00 for that account and cannot be enabled unless the another account set it offline.
We will show this more clearly in the next section with an example with 3 lobby accounts.
The idea is that only one lobby account can be connected to the game at once, so if certain hour is green in one account, it cannot be green in other accounts that are added after it.
There are certain rules to follow to setup online time correctly to avoid bot detection. For example, you should set maximum 10 hours online per lobby account. For more details about these rules you must read the manual: Bot Security – Best Practices to Avoid Bot Detection. Anyways if your online schedule is incorrect you will see a message like this:
Proxy Switcher “Generate schedule” purple button
You can use the “Generate schedule” purple button to generate a random schedule for every lobby account very quickly to save time. Every time you push it, it will generate a new valid schedule for every lobby account and will try to set up the maximum online hours as possible.
In the sample image above, we have only 2 lobby accounts (your main lobby account and a dual account). Because of you should only have maximum 10 hours online per lobby account. It will try to generate 10 hours for your main account and 10 hours for your dual account.
If you exceed 20 hours with those 2 lobby account, you will have an invalid schedule and the bot could be detected. So if you want to be online more than 20 hours you must add at least another dual account.
This is the general rule while generating the random schedule:
- 2 lobby accounts (1 main lobby account and 1 dual account):
It will generate maximum 10 hours per each lobby account. In total a maximum of 20 hours. - 3 lobby accounts (1 main lobby account and 2 dual accounts):
It will generate maximum 8 hours per each lobby account. In total a maximum 24 of hours. - 4 lobby accounts (1 main lobby account and 3 dual accounts):
It will generate maximum 6 hours per each lobby account. In total a maximum 24 of hours.
Schedule online time setup logic for duals (Example)
We have developed the online time scheduler in a way that only one lobby account can be connected to the game at once, so if certain hour is green in one account, it cannot be used in other lobby accounts that are added after it. We achieved this goal by using the disabled (greyed) hours.
A greyed hour is a time period where you cannot setup online time for that lobby account because it is already online in an account with more priority. So it is disabled (cannot be clicked).
The lobby accounts priority is determined from top to bottom (in the order which they were added). So the main lobby account, which is always the first one by default, will have the greatest priority. Let’s see it in an example where we have a 4 lobby accounts setup (1 main lobby account and 3 duals):
4 lobby accounts setup sample
The main lobby account (the first one from top to bottom), has set online time from 13th to 15th hours and from 18th to 20th hours (Highlighted in blue).
As you can notice, the other lobby accounts below it, have that time interval in grey mode (disabled)
Simultaneously the same thing happens for the 2nd lobby account from top to bottom:
The 2nd lobby account (from top to bottom), has set online time from 16th to 17th hours and from 21st to 24th hours (Highlighted in blue).
So the other lobby accounts below it (3rd and 4th) has that time interval in grey mode (disabled) [Highlighted in red]. So they cannot use that time interval because it’s already used by the 2nd lobby account.
And simultaneously the same thing happens for the 3rd lobby account from top to bottom:
The 3rd lobby account (from top to bottom), has set online time from 1st to 3rd hours and from 6th to 8th hours (Highlighted in blue).
So the 4th lobby account (from top to bottom) has that time interval in grey mode (disabled) [Highlighted in red]. So it cannot use that time interval because it’s already used by the 3rd lobby account.
Now you get the idea why the 4th lobby account (from top to bottom) has all hours disabled (greyed) except those that are online. Because they are already taken by all lobby accounts above it.
But what happens if you decide to set offline certain time’s interval that were previously online?
For example, let’s say that suddenly in the main lobby account you set the 20th hour offline:
Notice the yellow highlighted hours in all dual accounts, they became available now and you can click any of them. They were grey (disabled) previously but now they are enabled because that hour is not online in the main lobby account.
That way you can start changing the time schedule manually and decide which hours you want to be used in each dual account.
The opposite case happens if you set online certain hour that was offline. That hour will be greyed (disabled) in all lobby accounts below it (with less priority).
At this point you have got a full idea of how the Proxy Switcher settings work and you can play with it to set the online time schedule as you please.
Last day online activity
There is a new indicator that tells you the total online activity of all your lobby accounts from the last day. It can be found on the lower-left corner of the bot program window:
With this indicator you can track how long the bot has been connected to the game from the last 24 hours including all lobby accounts and get an idea of the effectiveness of the Proxy Switcher.
Final words
We hope that you enjoy and take advantage of the Proxy Switcher tool to increase the time to be connected to the game almost 3 times which indeed will make you create even more troops, build more buildings, protect your villages and resources 24/7 and multiply by 3 the number of resources that you can take from your farms!!!
