    What are your favorite race & personalities? Why? Also I know there might be different combinations for different styles of play, such as activity level and the kingdom you're in.

    What is the best for a top 20 kd and why? (Assuming these are all active players)

    What is the best for a rank ~120 kd and why? (Assuming these are medium activity level players)

    Best setup is largely what you see up top -> avian core, with halfer thief support, tossed in with mystic, elf or faery is preference. This works on all fields, and playing 25 hybrids is a dead strategy - dont do it.

    Godly, is 1/92 = 0.92?
    Catwalk's crusade for legalized cheating was a stunning success, with ghettos and low-tiered teams everywhere losing their wells of knowledge to better kingdoms in the process.

    Step one: replace everything that works.
    Step two: blame the predictable epic fail on outside forces.
    Step three: keep the community informed that no progress has been made since the last update.
    Step four: thank you for your patience.

    This is my first time playing as a TM. How much TPA & WPA does a Super TM running usually?

    FYI I'm running at : 5 Raw TPA , 10 Mod TPA & 2.6 Raw WPA , 6.2 Mod WPA (still pumping with 54% guild)
    *Modified by science. I will run 20% TD during war.

    BE is not an indicator of province health so this doesnt tell me anything. What is opa/dpa/tpa? income? etc. That is more useful.

    What is the purpose of the halflings? Do they just focus on stealing resources, or do they do NS and riots?
    mystics can cast w/e spell is necessary, but for the most part, its MS. MV and PF have their niche also.

    Riots against nonmerchant kd + greed spam is good economy eroding stuff. NS never hurt either to open up more options.

    You'll need at least 20 raw TPA and WPA to call yourself super T/M, which is the only viable way to run it.
    Obviously, this sacrificies your entire population, but with 88% homes, you can do it. Just remember the mantra.

    hmm that's interesting. I guess one main decision is the trade off between good attackers and halflings. In the Top 6 KDs there is an average of about 1.2 halflings per KD. I guess that most people came to the conclusion that halflings were not worth it, and it was better to have more avians or dwarves.

    I thought of a couple more questions.

    You say that the best strategy for war is to Max Gain. Amongst casual warring KDs it seems like an almost unanimous opinion that some form of chaining is best. (either deep chaining or semi-chaining).
    One specific issue is population-lock strategies. They are fairly common among casual KDs, so a lot of people feel that the extra land from Max Gains is useless if you cannot fill it up with more peasants.
    Another thing that most casual KDs will emphasize is the overpopulation damage that can be caused by chaining.

    I would really appreciate it if you could elaborate on the reasons that Max Gains is better for casual KDs. By casual KDs I mean anyone from top 100 NW to top 15 NW.

    max gains is the best strategy for any kd; there isnt a specific range where this works. I urge anyone who is skeptical to just do it and see it in action.
