Hmmm?

Something Has Occured
Your account must be three days old to drop land!

Yeah I noticed this last round too...its kinda annoying for leaderers, but I guess it was put in place to stop people using the illegal 'explorer strat'.

Why don't they just ban people who use the explorer strat and let people drop? So annoying haha

[Juska]

Sorry about your ratio Firetooth, why don't they make dropping land take turns and reduce the rate to 1/4 normal demo rate? Make it take a little more skill to get your perfect ratio.

Because it's a real dog to remove 2m land by hand. ::)

wat's dropping land and how do you do it?

Go to the "Construct" page
Click on "Demolish" (should be near the bottom of the the page)
     here you can destroy buildings and also put land in the "drop unused land" (when you drop land it doesn't use up any turns)
The dropped land goes into the Landfarm account.

Dropping land ruins the game Daryn, it's a way in which primarily leader players cheat the system to lower their leader/land ratio in order to have lower loyalty costs on spells and get a better chance of beating other players leaders. The most detrimental part of land dropping is that it respreads land to empires that should not have otherwise been able to get it, so instead of tiered land gains (ranks 40-20, 19-5, 4-1) you get a even spread of land.

I try to avoid dropping mainly cos of the spread, but sometimes if I have turns spare it puts me at an advantage and my opponents at a disadvantage

Lol. You could just as easily say it makes the game, by allowing new players access to easy land which is dropped to the land farm.
Its a part of the game, how can it you call it cheating the system?

[Juska]

New players can get land from:

1. Scouting
2. Playing well enough to actually take someone's land.

Actually, new players can get all the land they want just by having 10k of each troop type, clan and set the big players to war, then attack them. Almost everyone stacks one troop and the large majority of indies have no troops at all in their non-stacks. Why do new players need a landfarm when no one defends their land?

The land drop function serves only as a crutch that new players rely on so that they never improve and are never forced to improve and a means as to give leaders 100% control over perfect spell ratios.

yea.. and this is the most competitive promi ever :P
