Yup.

Buying land.

So we can all HPR better.

So what if it's RWL-based?

EDIT: GAH! Misspelling.

Sounds like a good idea. Though might take a while to code, and I think Beatles is kind of busy. (Can only be expected, though. Running a game on top of normal life.)

Normal?
Hardly.

I don't personally like the idea, but I will give it thought...

Really shouldn't be that hard to code... All I'm wondering is how it can be ballenced.

On RWL, they were thinking of making it so you have to pay in food for land. That might work, or maybe make it so you have to have a certain hawk ratio, or somthing.

Well, the people on RWL with a million land probably shouldn't be repeated here, seeing as we reset so rarely, but few would object to having a way to get more land.

As for the cost, what about cash + food + loyalty?

I don't know how much should be required, but, make it fair.

Buying 10k land should be difficult, but not impossible.

And, I didn't say RWL had it first, simply that the idea wasn't original, but was worth considering nonetheless.

it just isnt going to work the same

the 1 million land people are my fault.. not thru land buying
and it wont be a problem with declare war available

then you might as well be using hawk scout
which is more than enough to not need land buying

Hawk scout is majorly capped, it appears. Or maybe I should try it again this round. Let me have the formulas for loss and gains, please?

Hawk scouting works well. That's how I got to 1,000,000 land one time. Didn't attack much, mainly hawk scouted. Maybe about 300,000 acers of land were from attacks, but not much more. Of course, you need a lot of runes.

You lose a lot of food, though, so I suggest keeping most of it in a clan treasury.

I think so. Of course, could have been a bug... But I think the only cap is that you lose food cash and hawks. The losses get higher as you get more net, too, so that's why you need a clan treasury. Otherwise, you'll be losing you much food and cash it won't work.
