pub market

Land hogging is something the players have to police, not the code. Market storing was never supposed to be part of the game in the first place. Increasing the reserve just leads to the same problem as market storing, with none of the (minimal) drawbacks that entailed.

The problem THIS set was simply that maging is BEYOND broken, due to a mistake in the strategy "balancing". That's why the mages are able to hoard land - it's really quite ridiculous.

I think 20% would be closer to the realistic attrition for a band of mercenaries that stands Idle for too long.  How about making the penalty increase with the amount of time the troops spend on the market.  If someone spends, say, 300 turns after placing his troops on the pm, the penalty would increase.  Also to discourage storage, implement a service fee for the advertisement of troops on the market.  That way, when someone places troops on the market for too much, they pay for it...one way or another.

Hmm, I quite like this idea as opposed to 90% penalty

I still prefer this idea --- maybe it should be posted in the suggestions section, but I won't take credit for someone else's idea.

Well with the current code, a clan of 3 can easily hog all the land by aiding around like Sci ops is doing and just ruin the game. I say just fix the maging strat inbalance.

Well until troop sack is fixed there really isn't much to do with the cash we make except defend. If there was a way to store cash on the accounts without it being certain of being stolen maybe there would be no need for land locking on such a scale. I think the sack fix would also help with your mage problem.
