Alas poor Icefang, we knew him well...and yes, it survives the raze.

Abuse of this may cause future players to lose the 5 food they get when teleporting. 

I say this because players in the wastes (specifically one that I know of - and yes, I have filed a petition) have abused glitches in the game and created for themselves a 7 food plot in the middle of the arctic.  Now, this player is in control of 3 rare mineral mines while the second nearest players are all on 5 food plots - some from abusing and capturing a teleported city.

There is a reason the wastes and desert have low amounts of food.

Hmm...just realized you can highly exploit this if you don't have an alt and have the time and patience for it. You can create an account, become exodus capable, move to a 7 food then use Tenaril to move the 7 food near one of your existing cities. From there, abandon the account then repeat. This could allow you to be completely surrounded in 7 foods...

Anyway, you could also do that with any tiles to terraform out in the snowy or desert areas for the purpose of this discussion, so if you had a whole bunch of people doing it you could have a pretty large area of 5/7 food areas in these regions. Unless this is against the rules?

It survives.  An example of this is -894/912, which recently had a city on it.  As you can see, it's still a 7 food square.

All rumors will be tested, the majority belief is that it survives it but again rumors be tested in the future.

Background:

Land in Elgea is becoming more and more valuable, the newbie spawns are a disaster, outlying regions are quickly becoming more and more populated. The server is running out of land while attempting to keep basic rights per city such as sov rights or harvesting rights.

There is much land in the wastes and beyond that are barely habitable, most 1 food'ing it, obviously no one wants to settle on a one food..

I, Bonfyr Verboo and Wonka of [TLR™] looked into terraforming the current squares in the wastes, we found that 0 foods can not be terraformed with (pardon any spelling mistakes) the Tenarili spell. 

Over a month ago Ozymandius agreed to use a secondary account to test the terraforming capabilities of the Tenarili spell, he created the second account and teleported to a test site in the Wastes.

The test was successful a 1 food sq has become a 5 food, with decent sov around it.

I am aware that eventually someone may stumble across that square and not the sov around that and am putting a claim on it, located here.


I am wishing to extend terraforming to the rest of that area over time, and therefor would really appreciate if the playerbase did not settle in that pinkish area of ice, i doubt any of you would since you'd be 1 food'ing it but you know.

So as of now there is a claim on -710/844.

If you have the teleport skill and would be willing to teleport in that area in replace for payment, message me.

I feel this may help the community in the long run and am willing to kill the 5 minutes it took to write a formal claim about that square in the forums.
