We actually tried two flavors of setups. 2 ages ago we had a lot of faeries and were unable to get many wars.
What on Earth does your setup two ages ago have to do with this age, and how badly you failed due to a bad setup and worse strategy.

We warred BB later in the age and they WD up land from us. That was a situation where the faery wall loses land min time and the same situation played out in this war we had now as well as our first war with 4:15.
So you successfully withdrew up acres once, is what you're saying. And your strategy was to farm out free land/warwins/honor to your competitors in the hopes that... what exactly? The only reason you even got to war 4:15 is because after being stomped earlier in the age you managed, inexplicably, to find like 50k acres in free waves.
Quote:
The other problem with the fae wall we found was your opponent has to be willing to war beyond mintime for you to eventually farm them and get WW, but that’s not something you can control. Even when you can break the wall, it takes far too long to actually cripple those provinces with 1-2 taps.
So to summarise, you just believe you should never war to win, and gambled on a losing streak to carry you to #1.

Last age we went the opposite direction and had many attackers. We didn’t get WWs but we’re up big acres come mine time and exited with them which led to a crown.
This age same setup but tougher given the early age stareoff with Bb that led to nowhere and the wave from Sparta. Late age with a setup like this it was. Tougher to outfarm against kds collecting WWs.
You make it seem like nobody was collecting land... but obviously they succeeded where you failed. To recap, here are the war win records of the top 7 ranked kingdoms (those over 100k)
RR - 6/6
Hipmunks - 7/7
Emeriti - 2/6
Coins - 5/6
Resilience - 1/4
BB - 2/4
CoL - 5/5
You have the fewest T/M provinces of the group, and the most losses, and as we all know only #1 matters. So just accept your setup and strategy were bad for this age.

The other thing I forgot to mention which was been said already, unless you have a superior advantage with these mechanics opening is suicide and leads to guaranteed war loss or huge acre loss. That’s why people have stareoffs.
Your last war was arranged and you had a full hour advantage due to oops. You still couldn't have pulled off the win and for some reason, despite your claim you could have withdrew up 30k acres, you didn't. I mean, it was my prediction too - 30k at min time. Might have been a little high for that point of the war, but you withdrew up like 2k and maybe 7-8k in LL? lololo.

Everyone has their own preferences but I enjoyed the game far more under the mechanics of the old devs than I do now.
You might not like the mechanics but the glitches sure are nice, amiright?
[/quote]The setups that RR / Hipmunks have do well in this meta and both kds have stated they really care about WWs and like to war. At lest myself, I don’t like to war every week and was for > 2 days. It’s really hard to do when you work long hours and are no longer single. Also as you get older it’s harder for your body to bounce back.[/QUOTE]
And finally, proteus lowkey admits that Emeriti miss played the meta and selected a bad setup.
