Auto CS Destroyer Guide

Automatically detect and destroy incoming Colony Ships

Overview

Auto CS Destroyer automatically detects incoming Colony Ship attacks and sends counter-attack units from your cities to destroy them before conquest. Multi-city response with naval, mythic, and land options integrated with Attack Planner.

Prerequisites

Auto Dodge Enabled: CS Destroyer is part of the Auto Dodge feature
Multiple Cities: More cities = more units available to counter CS attacks
Available Units: Sufficient defensive/offensive units across your cities

How It Works

Detection System

Real-time Monitoring: Scans for incoming CS attacks continuously
Multi-City Response: Checks all your cities for available counter-units
Smart Timing: Calculates travel times to ensure units arrive on time
Attack Variants: Creates multiple attack waves with different unit combinations

Counter-Attack Logic

CS Detection: Identifies incoming Colony Ship attack
City Scan: Searches all cities for available units
Travel Calculation: Ensures units can reach target in time
Unit Selection: Chooses optimal units based on your settings
Attack Creation: Adds attacks to Attack Planner queue
Variant Generation: Creates additional attacks with different ship combinations
Execution: Attack Planner handles the actual sending

Main Settings

1. Enable CS Destroyer

Toggle: On/Off switch to activate the feature
Integration: Works automatically when Auto Dodge is enabled

Advanced Settings

Timing Configuration

Timing Offset (seconds) (1-15 seconds)

Adjusts when your units arrive relative to CS
Defensive units (Bireme, defensive land units): Arrive BEFORE CS (uses negative offset internally)
Offensive units (Light Ship, mythic units, attack land units): Arrive AFTER CS (uses positive offset)
This timing strategy ensures the CS is sniped - first attempt before arrival, then after if needed
Default: 4 seconds

Delay Between Attempts (0.5-5 seconds)

Delay between attack attempts in Attack Planner
Default: 2.8 seconds

Delay Between Cancel (seconds) (0.5-5 seconds)

Random delay before cancelling unit movements if it didn't arrive in time
Default: 1.6 seconds

Attack Variants System

Creates multiple attack waves with different unit combinations

Base Attack

The primary attack with your main units (Bireme, Light Ship, land units, or mythic units) then more attempts with combinations.
