trade ruling

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

oh some alliance talking of having set castle battles, we were doing this months ago, that was alot of fun too, but it takes forever to move armies in this game....might be quicker than catching scotfitz though...imao

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.

Get Anjire to siege you, he has like hundreds of siege engines.  You could be No. 1 in attack overnight.

everytime i do a trade my overall score stills goes up but so does everyone elses innoble urs should gone up like 40 to 50 million the last few days, just trying to get the devs to make some sort of statement or ruling about whats going on, if u have time ask and if its still happening i will show u, racing in overall points is fun!
