Ultimately, this game is a clan game, which means if you're playing by yourself and you try to beat up on clans, there are a lot more of them that can beat you down simply because they have that ability.

If you grab them once, they'll simply retal.
If you grab them a few times, as long as they're spread out among your countries and theirs, they'll simply retal.
If you double and triple-hit them, they'll retal a lot.
If you hit them 83 times, even if it's spread out among your 16 countries, they'll kill you.

Think of how you'd feel if you logged in and saw even 1 hit on each of your 16 countries and they're all coming from the same tag. Wouldn't you be a bit perturbed?

ESD killed off a few of yours and let your others live because they were actually being nicer than most clans would. PAN probably would've killed all of yours off. TKO talks like they intend to kill your others off. War clans like NBK, CC or IMP would actually be thankful to have targets to dispose of and would kill you off very quickly.

You can landgrab, but spread your hits out. The problem is that this game has shrunk since Mehul basically neglected it and sold it off. If you played 10 years ago, you might have been able to get away with more aggressive grabbing because there were more players playing massive numbers of illegal countries. You could usually grab a clan 10-12 times and as long as you hit the countries they didn't really care about, you'd probably only even get retalled on half of them.

Everyone plays legal now, and there are fewer players. If you're going to landgrab, you have to be somewhat careful about spreading out your hits so you're not hitting people in a way that's going to piss them off.

If you played 10 years go......news flash,Politics. And Policy remain in place,suck it up,you screwed up,kiddo!
