Loss of land.

There seems to be alot less land in the game right know. Does anybody know why?

Some people make a last run prior to going on vacation--meaning that if it's not taken within 12 hours or so, it is frozen with their attack. In this case--it's not that. It's that land has been spread around--meaning that the average is the same, but more people have "some" land, with few people having "much" land.

I was actually thinking the opposite -- as in, wow, most people have a fair amount of land! If I'm remembering correctly, land was pretty scarce the last time I played consistently.

It just seems that there's not much land--since there are so many targets with a moderate amount of land, instead of the more-regular 1-3 people with a lot of land. It accumulates over time--remember that this Reg server has been up for a long time, so with every person a few thousand land appears and some of it is grabbed before they delete or go inactive.

Just be happy that targets are rarely max'ed in Regular--since there are about as many runs in 5 days on Reg as there are in 1 day on Turbo.

RWL seems to have paticular bad land spreading problems. I dont know why, it never fixes it self, despite gallant efforts.
Only a few players I've seen in turbo don't spread. (JustMe, Feathertooth, Juskabally eire and a few others) feragoh spreads dreadful. Just the same in reg, earlier on people were running with 200k land, now 80k ::)
A hint for spreaders, knock each empire to 15k-20k if prefferable :P

Msn convo

Me: This is the top ten [link]
annoynomous:ok

annoynomous:[wash my mouth out!!!]! Look at that spread!

Thats what she said.

And yeah taek its just all so spread out right now that it seems like alot less, it took all i had to gather 80k land although i started with 10k lol

I think that the vast amount of clans is really what is keeping the land so spread out.

This is the most spread out that any game ever has been that I've played. Out of an average of like 30k land per player, the highest is only 80, nobody else is above 50, and only one or two are below 10.

Crazy.

Land can't disappear, it goes to the land farm. So no. there is just as much as there always was.

No offence meant, but I would personally blame empire, teh clan, they have 4 people with 40k land, and they deliberately lock it, most of them are new players, so have large armies, plus about 5 of them share, I tried to run, and couldn't break any of them, plus they complain when I attack them ???
I think it's just mainly the fact that sharing works now, so large clans can lock off land easily.

idunno · June 14, 2008, 04:48:45 PM

I scraped up 80k no problem and I normally gather up just 100k+. Although I usually just attack from whoever has just made an indy run and just them (which makes me part of the problem,) but I still am finding no problem gathering land. My biggest problem is when smaller warlords have the land because I can't take it from them without desertion. Oh well, you guys should deal with it...

They dont have very large armies but they do have towers built and are probably sharing their troops. Which means you should hit them in leaders because i guarantee not many of them have leaders...

As for clans screwing it up, that is not accurate at all if anything clans are keeping it alot better than it would be without them.

Well do you keep a large army on you when you run or something? If you have small armies like i do when i leader then desertions shouldnt effect you taking land from smaller warlords.
