Friends Manager

Forge of Empires Friends Manager

A friends list fills up with players who stopped logging in, and the game gives you no way to see which ones. Defiant groups your accepted friends by how long they have been away, lets you clear a whole colour group at once, and then helps you refill the space with players who are actually worth aiding.

Defiant Friends Manager grouping fictional inactive friends by activity age

Real Defiant interface with fictional, privacy-safe values. Forge of Empires is shown only to demonstrate how the extension appears in use.

Inactivity you can see

Accepted friends are grouped by how long they have been away — yellow at 3 to 7 days, red beyond that — so the dead weight is visible instead of guessed at.

Remove one, or a whole group

Drop a single stale friend, or clear an entire colour group in one action when you need room before a recruiting round.

Room counted, not estimated

A live friend count against your list limit sits at the top, so you know how many invites you can actually send before you start.

Candidates rated before you invite

Find Friends sweeps ranking pages for players who are not friends yet and rates them on open Great Building spots, high-level buildings, Arc level, and rank.

Invites that do not stack up

Players already invited, and players whose own list is full, are remembered and skipped. Clear Unaccepted withdraws invitations nobody acted on so a full outbox never blocks the next round.

How it works

  1. Open the Friends window from the Defiant panel. Friend Activity loads first, with your accepted friends already grouped by how long they have been away.
  2. Review the yellow (3 to 7 days) and red (over 7 days) groups. Remove individual players, or clear a whole group when you want the space.
  3. Switch to Find Friends and set how many ranking pages to sweep and the minimum number of open Great Buildings a player must have to be worth an invite.
  4. Run the scan, read the ratings, then add one candidate or work through the shortlist with Add All.
  5. Use Clear Unaccepted before the next round so pending invitations nobody answered stop holding your outbox open.

Questions

How does Defiant know a friend is inactive?
It reads the activity state the game already publishes for each player and sorts by its age: green within two days, yellow at three to seven, red beyond seven. It is the same signal the game shows you, just collected in one place and counted.
Can removing a colour group be undone?
No — removing a friend is a game action and Defiant cannot take it back. That is why the group is listed with names and counts before you act, and why removing one player at a time is always available.
Does Find Friends send invitations automatically?
Only when you press Add or Add All. The scan itself only reads ranking pages and rates what it finds; nothing is sent until you choose to send it.
Why are some candidates skipped during Add All?
Because they were already invited in an earlier round, or because their own friends list is full. Both are remembered between sessions so each run works on players who can actually accept.
Is friends automation allowed by InnoGames?
No. Third-party automation of any kind, including bulk friend management, is against the Forge of Empires terms of service. Our FAQ sets out the risk before you decide.
