hehe, I never said it would be efficient, just effective. You can not teleport/exodus/settle/spawn on someone's sov. I agree it would be a total waste, but if your space is that important to you...

you can yes, but you can only build 20 buildings making the other 130 a HUGE waste of money and you would run deeply negative on research aswell making it very expensive to retain

Yeah but you could also say you're the guy who's taken a share of 1505 squares of land!

Gameplayer, you'd be better off playing one of those thousands of dead games out there that have a million towns crammed together with a few dozen diehards who terrorize any newbs dumb enough to join the game. Rorgash, I thought i'd never say this...but i'd have to agree with you, an orc, on this matter. The devs set the guidelines but the players set the gameplay. Razing the town may be the only option.

mmmmmmmmm some of us are exploring maxing our sov spaces to prevent peeps from coming into our whole regions (124 squares). that 10x10 rule is excellent cause then we dont have to kill peeps and will keep alot of people from playing the game...gosh right now the game allows u to keep inactive accounts in the game forever using simple tricks.....good locations are disappearing by strategic castle placement.....oh this also makes all those players that log in once a month or less so important too....those fb accounts with auto logins become very important with this...this definitely will be a gamechanger, maybe go in the opposite direction?

It is totally possible to claim 150 sov squares. It is just not particularly useful yet. One of the best uses of it (imo) is marking squares you don't want settled/moved on. So if you really want to keep your 120 squares clear, this would be the most effective method.

effective method?! are you crazy?! you wanna pay hundreds of thousands in gold each day and go thousands negative in research because someone MIGHT land there once a year?!
the most effective and cheapest way is, have a freaking army and raze the town...

I thought the 10-square policy was just a de facto "rule" that players derived from the limitations on Tenaril's and Exodus? Since the devs say they want a certain level of tension, I wonder if that range limitation will be reduced if/when the world becomes more crowded... Do you suppose that would affect the policy?

Disagree - that would be a complete waste of research points.

I agree with the need for a limit of how close you can land a city next to another player to avoid going literally adjacent to another player in a worst-case situation. 10x10 seems fair to me.
The problem seems to be the understanding of how that is applied. Some look at it mathematically with a radius that includes a fraction of a square.... others see it as 10x10 as seen from a map of an appropriate size (which in my opinion is scale 9). Many use things such as IllyTools to make their decision which of course is not an official tool in any way.
Assuming we need a rule like the 10x10 (which as I said, I think we do) - it must be defined in a way that's easy to understand and any player (regardless of prestige, add-on tools, spreadsheets or calculators) can apply just by using the map.
