Land Farms

[The Beatles]

I'm against it personally, but please put forth your suggestions!

What is a land farm?

[Myrhakel]

Err .. an account with no army that spends all it's turns scouting. So you can attack it a lot and it won't retal.

[Aus]

I vote yes.

[Devari]

Er... Maybe option?

[Zephyrus]

Yes, two types.

First, let me reiterate: Beatles was the first RWL land farm. He was Automated Property Distribution System. It was quite fun. My point is that not everything was made first by RWL.

Okay, land farms. Yes. They scout all their turns. That way, we get more land into the game, and we may have some with nets of 20, perhaps 30, mil. Simple. The land farms scout with all their turns. Then, every once in a while, the admins artifically (via MySQL) add land. Rare land giveaways.

Then, APD. Beatles' original system. The admins set up an account with about 10 mil mice, 4 mil squirrels, 2 mil otters, etc. There is one troop it lacks. That is the tropop everyone uses to get land from it. The thing is that if you take too much, it retals. It also takes land from the land fat and gives aways troops.

Again, yes, but make sure the entire game gets land proportionally. If sh0e and Josh get 100k land again, then something must be done.

You could cap the Networth of the land farm... After all, 'tis not really fair if the person with 1 mill networth can't attack it, but the players in the top ten can.

Oh, and dropped land should probably go towards it...

[Zephyrus]

Oh, and dropped land should probably go towards it...

No. We need to add land to the game, but every once in a while, we either need to reset the servers or lose some land. People drop land for that reason.

[Nohc]

But it should XD Dropped land goes to land farms. Yes...

[Ruddertail]

Base the cap on the amount of land, not networth. People's networth is not always land, and someone with almost no troops or cash could have a low networth, but still have a good amount of land.

[Urran Voh]

Yes a land farm. And I also like Zephyrus's idea. 'Tis grand. Dropped land should go to land farms.

[IFman]

Er... Maybe option?

and why didn't you add one
I did it for you

I am against it. It discourages people from attacking each other. This could allow too many people to keep and maintain a lot of land. There are other ways to increase in-game land such as having it available on the private market for sale. The cost could increase based on the amount of land you have and have a ceiling where you can not buy land after obtaining a certain amount.(<span style='color:green'>Simular to exploring for land. </span>) Also have the amount of land you can purchase based on a percentage of your total land. (<span style='color:green'>Simular to the other things you can buy on the private market.</span>) This would make the larger land owners get more land by attacking and not let them keep buying land and getting stronger without effort.

[Zephyrus]

I doubt you know me well. I was here for a brief moment, trying to take you and Josh down, and then got bored. I left. I returned.

I have nothing personal against anyone. I just don't like the idea of you two taking the top for so long. That is why I tried to leader you down. I failed. It was nothing personal, just something I was entitled to try.

I do not play Ragnarok.

I do not play WWI:Returned. (Though someone by the same name does, I think.)

If I have offended you in any way, please do try to contact me on AIM. I most often do such things accidentally. If I have done something of the sort, I do apologise.

I didn't think you were violent, just that the top ten needed to change.

[Urran Voh]

Who's worried about sh0e anyway?

macatak, a land farm is a good way for a newbie (no offense meant to anyone) to recover from attacks, or gain easy land to continue building on. So, I'm all for it, even though I may not use it.
