How to Install the Defiant FoE Bot
Defiant is designed to feel like a normal browser tool. No accounts, no logins, no servers — it lives in your browser and runs only when you tell it to.
Install Defiant in your browser
Load Defiant as an unpacked browser extension. The extension only activates on the Forge of Empires game page — it does nothing anywhere else.
Open Forge of Empires and sign in
Sign in to your world the same way you always do. Defiant doesn't handle your login and never asks for your password.
Open the Defiant panel
A docked panel appears alongside the game. The header shows live status, and the tab bar across the top lets you jump between modules: GE, Sniping, City, Inventory, Map, Quest, and Settings.
Pick the module you want
Each module is independent. Heading into Guild Expedition? Open the GE tab and choose Auto Battle or Auto Negotiate. Hunting Great Building spots? Open Sniping and click Scan GBs. Most modules need a single click to begin.
Set your guardrails
Visit Settings to confirm the safety options that match how you play — block diamond spending (on by default), set a per-session medal cap, choose your action delay, and decide whether automation should pause on reconnects.
Stop anytime
Every running module has a stop button that takes effect instantly. Closing the panel or the game tab also halts automation. Nothing keeps running in the background after you leave.
/media/archive/.
It looks like an ordinary folder, but Chrome cannot load an extension from it — the
attempt fails with
telemetry_block_rules.json: Internal error while parsing rules followed by
Could not load manifest. That reads like a corrupt download, but the ZIP is
fine; it simply was never extracted.
To install: open the Files app and eject any mounted copy of the ZIP from the sidebar, then right-click the file and choose Extract all. Point Load unpacked at the extracted folder — the one with
manifest.json directly inside it, not the ZIP and not anything under
/media/archive/. Keep that folder in My files or
Downloads: Google Drive is also a mounted filesystem and can fail the same way.
Because this is an unpacked extension, the folder has to stay where it is — deleting
or moving it removes the extension.
Get the most out of Defiant.
A few small habits turn Defiant from "useful" into "essential":
- Run only the module you need and stop it before switching to another task.
- Bump the action delay up if your connection is shaky.
- Run the GB sniper on Friends + Guild before your guild's coordinated push.
- Keep diamond spending blocked — medal-only is almost always the right call.
- Check the rewards log occasionally to see how much GE has actually paid out.
Settings persist
Your toggles, priority lists, and history stay in your browser. Open Defiant tomorrow and it picks up where you left off.
Everything is logged
GE rewards, relic finds, sniped spots, and collected incidents are kept in the panel for review.
