The land drop Strat

The land drop Strat

When the low ranks cannot hold onto any land, due to magers or a particular clan hoarding land.
A land drop strat can soften the top ten and allow you to play through to #1. I used to hate land droppers until I found out what good it can do.

Here is the process:
Take all the land you can from lower ranks, those that are afraid to or too weak; to take on the top 10 rankings. Then drop all but enough to look like you still have it all, allow some to be taken away again so it doesn’t look like you’re a land dropper.
Log in each day making sure no one is online to see you drop the land.
Make your run;
Attack as much as you can. Remember presently it doesn’t take any turns to drop land.
Drop a couple thousand or even a few hundred acres. If you do this every day the ranks will fall naturally and empires that once ranked in the top ten cannot maintain their lead.
Those top rankers that don’t turn, after the land has been stripped from the ranks will sit stagnated in the top scores, unable to move for fear of loosing their net hold. Once the game is low enough of land and the ranks have slid to a soften state, make a run for the top seat. The one thing to remember is a mage only gets stronger with little land, at least until his mages equalize.
So if there is a ton o mages you proly want to wait until they make their moves, then rip them to pieces taking the top #1 spot. With this strat you can soften the ranks several times a set, if you wait until the end you can take the top rank and maintain it for the set win.

Modify as you see fit to make it your own, by using and adjusting it to fit your needs or the games conditions.

It has worked for me in the past and it should work here.
It works in BFR but don’t try this in WOA land dropping is currently broken!

This is also called. "Kill me, I'm being a lame" Strat.

Dear Freenhult sir:

If I was to go around reporting everyone who posted trash to my posts, Beatles would be quite upset with me.
And after getting my arse torn off for what I feel is bullrap!
I am trying my best to not be so aggravating and posting trash in every thread you’re actively conversing in, so please do me the same courtesy.
Constructive criticism is more beneficial than destructive criticism


This is a strat
please respect others forum rights


Thanks
T.S.

PS: I did not post this to strategies as I do not feel as it would be accepted by the genral community
So far I am right, and so it was put in a s a comment / strat

[Freenhult]

Trash you say? Hardly. And this is not a strat. This is more or less a get back tactic. People who get caught doing this are killed or smashed to hell repeatedly.

Its rude and annoying to abuse the drop land feature. That is a fact.

[Tetigustas shadowson]

You are allowed an opinion but I refuse to argue.......

I must say though you are wrong. It is a strat

Even if it makes you as mad as it made me when I first found out about it.
I slaughtered them the same as you say it would get a person who uses the strat.
The object is to not get caught by others in the game that is the key ingredient

It does work and its is a viable strat

Thanx for your input

Taking the land away from the lower ranks just makes it even more impossible for them to do anything about the land hoggers.

[Gen. Volkov]

This isn't a strat. This is abusing a game mechanic to an absurd degree. People dropping land like this is why in several rounds robotic empires were created to catch dropped land. Because really, dropping land only hurts the game as a whole. The skilled top ten players will stay on top, even in a low land environment, but the people in the lower ranks will suffer. If you attempt this stratagem, you'll get smashed flat in short order.

[Tetigustas shadowson]

It actually encourages them to address a more aggressive stance and forces them to resort to attacking bigger war bands.
Rather then just swapping land back and forth, until some one like me or some one else, accumulates enough land for net fat user to take all the land fat and hoard it in the top ten.
Forcing a group effort to take them down
Not to point fingers but to use as an example of why a land dropping strat would even developed.
Such a strat encourages more war!
It does not ruin a game but creates an opportunity to soften war bands up a bit.

if there isn't any land to swap they must do some thing magic, scouting, killing little guys or attack the big dudes.
When faced with adversity people develop diversity.
What I have seen is the latter of the four, users making the effort to attack the great beast of the #1 slot.

An immense effort was put forth to attack and soften up the #1 person this last month, which did not work quite as well as expected.

It does work; I have used it and was taught it by Valhall/QMT'ers

I will leave it at this point, so that others can post with out me hogging up all the replies.
Lord knows I do not want to get Post Slapped again.
Tear it up, thrash it around, rip it to pieces, I do not care.
I posted so noobs could see there is an option, if they are sly, they can decimate the top ranks

It actually encourages them to address a more aggressive stance and forces them to resort to attacking bigger war bands.

Unfortunately, they don't have the land they need to take down the bigger warlords because some fool has been dropping all of theirs while leaving the big empires with all the land, so the team of low guys can do absolutely nothing except pass a few pathetic crumbs of land around while the big ones sit there and flood the market with cheap troops, thus completely crippling all the low guys who depend of selling for their strats.

It does not ruin a game but creates an opportunity to soften war bands up a bit.

If everyone on WoA dropped all their land but me, I would be walking all over the game for the next month without trying. So would any other player who still had some land and managed to hold onto it. The only empires that are weakened by this foolishness are the low ones who actually need more land if they hope to break the big ones.

[Tetigustas shadowson]

Actually WOA is broken it only allows one drop per game per user; I dropped a total of 80,000 acres in a single drop and was unable to drop an acre more.

I actually started a land-dropping scheme late in the game but was not able to drop any more frustrated with a worthless code I deleted!
I have recreated my game account after I deleted but am incognito, even my user name is different and I have force my IP so to never reflect the actual IP of my provider

PROOF IS BFR the current level of land is the result of me dropping a couple hundred thousand acres, and is at a manageable level by the lower ranks.

However, that is another thread

c'est la vie un la coup d'état, est vie nom de guerre Pour poser la question dans les forums <--- on that note ~Fin~

[Freenhult]

You're the reason WoA is in such a sucky mood. No one can run. No one can do a thing. Nothing. Sci Ops has all the land. Guess what. You can't do a thing because you got nothing to work with. God man, how do you not see that?

If I ever catch you in another game, so help me you just admitted to screwing the game up. I'll smash you down.

By the way, You can only drop land once per day.

[Tetigustas shadowson]

you are wrong my combatant! please check bugs forum for the truth about land in WOA

[Shadow I]

Watch what happens. I am not even remotely affected by your land drop, because half my runs I don't even bother to attack for land, I just make cash and flood the market with troops at insane profits. Nobody can break Sci Ops because in order to get the army they need they need, guess what, LAND! Oh wait you dropped it all, so you guys are screwed now. You had a decent chance before because there are a few players who know what they are doing, but you are not one of them and i suspect you will be the target of everyone who doesn't have locked land right now.

What don't you understand about all this? Land dropping can be used against emps, but you are doing it completely wrong.

[Arthus]

If his clan wouldn't sack the only ones breaking Sci Ops things might be slightly different. Dropping land only benefits the skilled players and cripples those learning how to play. We can play on ANY LAND AMOUNT, new players probably cannot.

For once I actually agree with Volky here... and that doesn't happen very often now, does it?
