Forums / In game politics / Fantasia Era of Hanky Panky 82

Matthew was just having a rough day, we're good =)

If I see someone doing something which could be generally tweaked I'll often send a message, friend or foe for that era. A lot of people appreciate it. If not, then they can just ignore what I said.

I know Matthew is a long time vet, but I saw something which is not considered "meta" currently, but it's clear that Matthew knew what he was doing in his own right. Just because something is "meta", doesn't mean it applies to all situations.

In general, I view land drop as an optional thing that only those who are min/max'ing the game need to really worry about. As Jasmina has said, she doesnt do a traditional land drop yet is always competitive. Doing a LD just makes you incrementally more efficient as a whole, with the larger econ you LD being a larger boost.

Team B got taken out by Trogdar but perhaps they have a core I don’t see

Bling first core then, Trogdar their rebuild attempt

We didnt rebuild anything. Felt blindside by a "warning" PM and also decided not to feed anyone.

The biggest indicator that people still have no idea what they are doing 10+ years after the land mechanics changed in VU is that people imitate the behavior/strategies of good players without understanding why they do them or executing them correctly.


I still see players build 30ks to land-drop 90ks when they have completed 25600s etc elsewhere.


If youre land dropping at all youre trying to hit a timing that makes paying less for the land you build more efficient than building up normally so its much less about going from '30k to 90k' and more about going from 'X land to 3X land'

Just one example. 

Apologies for being rude/harsh earlier I was prescribed steroids for a back injury excuses etc etc

And no apologies needed. Flamming Forum is not bad, keeps the forum active as ususal.

You got dumpstered by a player that came OOP when you had all era to farm, not sure id take your advice on anything other than how to lose.

10:34:59 Jan 18th 22 - Princess Aisha: It really does not. Is it better to landdrop? Sure, its better. If you don't, are you really that far behind?  No, not really.

Solid post- here's basically how it would work if everyone could be active every single tick:

You would be better off never land-dropping early on or holding ANY amount of unspent resources. Pre-OOP the game already works like this. Beyond a certain point (50k-70kish land) even if you were active every single tick youd still be better off land-dropping assuming that you could go from 50-70k land to 150k-210k in one 'build' and your cities all had full bonuses.


At best you'll be maybe 30% more efficient if you do it right but everybody still does it wrong. The only 'drawback' is you are inflexible. Most players farm for two weeks anyways. 30% is huge in a game where timing is everything. Even a lesser version of land-dropping like building normally but land-dropping your 90ks has noticeable timing advantages for players who dont even understand what theyre doing.

I could argue that lol one could say the steps to success is failure. Shows how little you know😁

I could have won this round if I didn’t quit oop because you killed one main player
