I stopped using ifarmer just because of this.
Since we manually add barbs to iFarmer (a design flaw which I'll describe later), when someone else (tribemate or not) nobles the barb that was added to the iFarmer, the bot doesn't know this and keeps attacking thinking it is still a barb (since bot map updates at a fixed interval and the bot doesn't know that the barb was conquered until it updates it map data).
I think iFarmer needs a lot of improvements.
I have 500+ villages and for each village that I noble, I would need to select barbs around it and add it to the ifarmer. Can't this be automated? For instance, any new village added to the bot, all barbs in a 30 units range get automatically added to the ifarmer. Also, the bot doesn't hit nearby barbs first. Instead it randomly picks target barbs from the selected villages.
