Would it be an option to stay around 400 acre the whole age?
Some ppl does it to honor whore and top feed in war. But its usaly ends whit that honor whore beeing raze killed oow :P
why would anyone attack a low nw/acre province?
Why wouldnt they?
They have nothing to gain from attacking a 50k networth province.Quote:

But I don't want honour. Is there any way to prevent getting honour? I prefer to stay peasant. Since honour just puts a big bullseye on me. Getting beyond Lord is impossible for me so let me just stay peasant.
Just being Lord is a good thing. Gives you some bonuses (2% in several areas), and it aint such a huge amount of honor that you will get alot of attention.
But if you really want... Use anonymous? It do increase your at-time aswell, but well...
Btw, why do you wish to stay small? Just to avoid gettng bottom-fed on?
Staying small also makes the game easier. You don't have to worry about many things. Just run a small province keep yourself alive, don't war and hope no one will notice you.Quote:

And whats the deal with that? You want to run a small prov that doesnt do anything at all? Just exist? :P You COULD get some nice sci thought, sage running high school/bank/extreme sci-rate ;)
I want to have fun. Maybe my idea of fun is a nice little province. Without to much hassle or other people telling me what to do, since I am small people won't expect anything from me.

If you want to play your own way maybe earth2025 is better of for you.

there you can stay small and do it our own way, whitout beeing an idiot :p
Frankly, if you were in my KD and were refusing to grow to fighting size because you wanted to 'play your own way', you wouldn't have to worry about bottom feeders, because /we/ would freaking destroy you. Your proposal is a plan for uselessness, and this is a team game. You wanna sandbox all day? Find a different game.
You may not like the way I play. But you cannot force me how o play this game.Quote:

Because you'd be wasting a slot.
Most kingdoms have empty slots. So I would not be waisting anything. We had 3 to 5 empy slots since the beginning of this age.Quote:

Well I have done things for my kingdom I have taken my fair shair of hits in the only war we hav fought and lost so far. Me taking hits means other provinces will stay stronger. I was agianst going to war since I knew we would lose it so it was rather pointless.
We went from 3.000.000 to 2.400.000 networth in the war, also from about 1000 acre average to about 700. So this whole war was a rather pointless exercise. The only thing I think we all learned from it I hope is that we should not war at all.
u cant.
if u login once a day, u will get at least 5 daily acres. that means over the course of an age (usually about 100 days), there will be approx 500 acres from daily 5 acre. and u start with 400, so u'll end up with 900 acres even if u never attack and never explore
True I had not thought about that. It makes my plan even better. 900 acre at the end of an age is bigger then I have ever been at the end of an age. It will give new meaning to turtle-ing.
Right now my province is about 580 acre with a 70k networth.
Useless waste of space ^^
omg just stfu 01, if you wanna go hide in some ghetto do it.
We dont want to know about ur idea of fun.
I find this attitude very strange. It's a strategy/war game. Yet here are people that more or less don't play, just exist. Seems to me playing like that has all the excitement of watching grass grow.
Is there a social aspect here to overrides things?
I had a player once who said he was a leader of some alliance. He turtled up at about 600 acres. Started logging in about every 2-3 days. Gave him the 3Ds. He defected out before I could kill him off. Sent me a bunch of ops before he went, though. Never heard anything about it after that.
Maybe some people play the game different from how you play it. Getting killed in wars does not sound all that exciting to me. Why would you give him the 3D's (don't even know what that is but I think it is not good for the receiving player and ego boost for the player who executes it). But did you gain anything when he defected did you feel good about yourself bullying an other player?Quote:

3D's are defect, delete or die =)
How friendly. In other words the monarch tell you how you should or else ........Quote:

How is he even gonna get the honor?
The problem is his idea is totally DIFFERENT FROM THE GOAL that is being attempted.
In order to Honor whore, you must war. You must also win them to keep that honor.
Not only that, if you can't touch anyone wheres the honor?
Honor is not a goal, it's a side effect from participating in wars. War wins would be the true goal. Even though war wins would not get you a rank.
Also. Even if you wanted to stay small. Wouldn't you explore and then reshrink??? It's 10x easier to pump X elites when your Y times bigger.
Get to say 1600 or 6400 acres.
Get X sci.
If your 1600 and go back to 400 you will double your sci effects.
If your 6400 you will quad your effects. Not that matters since Utopia calcs sci if you were @ 500 acres min anyways.
Why would I want honour? Right now I have 809 honour. That is 9 point to high I think. I do agree that the tactic of growing and then shrinking is really nice. It has 1 draw back though. If other players find out you are not that well defended but do have a lot of sciences they they tend to plunder that. In the only war we have fought an lost so far I lost about 100.000 books.

WOW, HOW BORING.
Btw, Honour is a powerful tool.
How is 809, 9 more than it should be?
Read the guide for Honour numbers much?
Back to Honour...
Honour is powerful because it's one tool which enhances your prov for absolutely no Networth, besides the Pop bonus which is powerful enough and worth the extra networth, it's so GOOD.
About the learn thing.
Read my thread about barren land.
And also why would people learn from you?
I'd rather take the easy land.
When I posted it I knew I my province and kingdom number where in my post.
Is being 2000 acre and attacking 2000 acre provinces more exciting? Or as you put it taking acres from small provinces more exciting? being 400 acre and fighting 400 acre provinces sound the same as 2000 vs 2000 to me. Leaching of weaker kingdoms that are in no position to ever strike back, wow that much really be exciting.
809 - 9 honour = 800 honour.
0-800 peasant means less attention from the big boy.
And if you read the guide, you'd notice that Knight provides no honor bonuses.Quote:

But I won't waste my time razing you.
Or how about I multi a few times to show you how pro I am at my Protection strat, come out @ 500 acres and smack you a few times. I would but you still wouldn't be convinced (This is a joke, I have never cheated but other people get the point)
Why do I find that more exciting? Because you are not picking on the weak. My morals are subjective but many people will agree to my morals of fair wars and such.Quote:

You'd fit in nicely one day in SKD. Why? Cause your about as "ruthless" and "senseless + moraless" in terms of your playing. Too bad they are good players @ no morals and your are just a bad player @ no morals.
dude, just keep up with your kingdom and work as a team. people play this game to war and if your only going to have defence your letting your team down. i hate people like you, if i was your king i would kill you off.
This is a very interesting strategy. You are almost as good as vines.
vines sounds bright compare to this guy, lol..
where are all these people coming from. new forums are cursed.
Apparently not everyone plays this game for war.Quote:

Real mature name "ChinaIsGay". How did you think that one up?
I have figured it out!!! There is no way in the devil's anus that /anyone/ could be this freakin stupid.
010101 trolled us. He trolled us all. Hard.
Prolly trying to get whatever that prov is he posted hit a few times, for laughs. Jerk.
The thing 010101, is that you cannot escape from the reality: People in this game attacks, and you will be the target.
If you wish to not be involved in any activities like warring, attacking etc. SimCity is a real game (which btw includes the best cheat ever, "bat")
There's no problem with not wanting to play the game competitively, it can be played sandbox style like Sim City to some extent. And the OP does have a point that in weak kingdoms any active player is generally an asset since there are empty slots and overall little involvement. You risk having very little fun if you insist on staying tiny though, rather than just small. You shouldn't fall too much behind your kingdom or the team aspect of it will lose all meaning. Genesis might be better suited for you.
