/me waits for someone to claim that that's just due to longevity in the game and warlike tendencies.

Twi - where are you?

Population is just size; there are many very lethal players below 100,000 population, and many chubby couch potatoes over 200,000.
You make a good argument.

Just quickly, looking at the top 20 by defence score, they break down as follows:

H? - 9
VIC - 2
~NC~ - 2
Shade - 1
vCrow - 1
TCol - 1
Unaligned - 1
EE - 1
nCrow - 1
DARK - 1

It's not massively different to the picture from overall points.

It is a lot of hard work getting 1B points. Interestingly, since reaching it I seem to be accumulating points more quickly. Cities must act as multipliers. Can't wait for my 10th city. Almost there.

Eh, most of my score is because I hold second rank in magic.

There are now 243 players with 1B points or more!
That's a 25% increase in less than 3 weeks.
Land claims have also risen during this period, and more people seem to be logging in.
The markets are also booming, and GM SC even made a comment on behalf of King Sigurd.

Looks like Elgea is coming back to life in anticipation of The Broken Lands release! Beer

Knowing how to use your troops and how to quickly make more of them is at least as important as sheer number if not more so.
