I know :) that is why i said it, compared to other score exploits ranking top 10 in research can be done only by loosing few cities with most of research done in them, and then making new cities and doing research in them.Only players that really like this game have will to recuperate after loosing many cities.As for all scores there is exploit for this one also but it is only exploit nobody will use, so competing for top 10 in research is real chalange.

You will note that my 2 accounts are #3 and 4 in research.

its just a fun thing to do, there is some strategy involved but nothing major, challege someone close in overall rank and race to a set number, armies like rill said would be fun, figure out who can get largest army in one castle or overall in all, some peeps playing the top overall population, its just fun, i racing to overtake scotfitz with someone, rofl, it might be an endless race but im planning, thats why my trade score so weird, if u see me online ask and i will show u something, its funny, i was actually going nowhere in gains....silly me, but twists and turns make everything more of a challege....hugssssssssssss

I was referring to making use of one's armies on the battlefield in a test of strategy and skill.

text wall ahead (in response to Twilights post), read only if you're interested in the ranking system.
Well if you're planning to catch Scottfitz you will have to work on all ranks, including attack rank. The way the overall scoring system works, all ranks will always be considered equally important, no matter how high they go.
Bumping your trade score will do nothing for your overall score since you're already nr 1. You have the highest possible trade score contribution to your overall score. It cannot get higher even though your tradescore will.
So if you want to go up the overall ladder, work on other ranks. Most likely, you will have to go all the way past Scott in Attack since you can't speed up research and magic (both in which he almost has the highest scores possible, like you have with trade). Then there's defense, in which he also has a sizable amount etc.
The reason I am so close to him is because i have similar attack and a much larger diplo score to offset his magic advantage. My tech and pop are also similar. Our trade scores are almost 0 because they are compared to yours (percentage-wise). Your 92 billion makes scotts 8 billion and my 1 billion worthless as a part of overall score (it is based off of the nr 1 player)
It is pretty much mission impossible for you to pass him unless you completely change your playstyle and have a year or so off work :)
It is quite hard for me too. All I can do is attack. I can't negate his magic advantage, though it will drop over (a long) time, in relative terms (which is what overall uses). So it is more of a matter of who gives up playing Illy like a crazyman first.

You could put some armies on some mountains and try to get people to attack you, thus increasing your defense score. Or you could siege someone; that would practically guarantee that they would attack your siege camps. Or you could get someone to siege you. Siege engines give really good experience, so it would help your attack score.
/me is just full of helpful suggestions like that
