My favorite hoh win was the age we invented the 125% BE pump and farmed Rage for 30k despite being 60k acres smaller and hoh ended up winning by 70k. I’m sure that’s somehow counted as a “win” much like the age bio won but hit and ran rage to more acres lost for another crown.
Making setups that don’t win land crown but let you never press withdraw doesn’t take much skill, unless your goals are getting the war win crown. Just make a buncha faeries. Rage vs Freakstyle would be fun to watch, though.
