have the land claimers won?

Obviously the Hashashin actually won the war and made no concessions. The concept of claims will probably be debated until Christmas, partly because a few people have strong opinions on the subject, and partly because (let's be honest here) the land claim skirmish is probably the only interesting thing that happened in Illyriad this summer.

Land Claiming is the next step of PVP.

I think this war illustrated how effective a method of defense the clustering of an alliance is. While the members of SIN are excellent at warfare I think it would have been an entirely different battle had they been fighting an alliance that was also clustered in a land claim for defense. I did not take the time to look at the location of every city lost, but I think a majority of those that fell on both sides were outside of an area where the alliance could defend efficiently.

What actually HAS been gained or lost by this war between pro-land claimers and those against??  Land claimers are still claiming, alliances are still conversing about the "change " in the game. 

personally I believe the failure of stomp was the additional ability of having over ten cities in an account with no population decrease between nine and ten...no additional high population buildings were added.....a lot of us have a very strange building mix in our cities...we playing a very slanted game....also there have been no additional war functions and the ones in game were introduced when the game play was very different....few want to war cause of time involvement required...many players have adopted the wait to play mentality similar to the devs roll out
of promised functions....thanks to both sides and especially to pico in providing entertainment.
