    so how are you getting 6.5m lumber just for your towers and getting them built within 6.5 days, without going to a lvl 5 townhall, and farming barb cities?

    Let's see some screens of your town, since you're so proud of it.

    Edit again: I know it's POSSIBLE, but your towers are only going to scare new players and simcityers.

    Photos are in the link, but it's called farming the market. After I start construction I sell all available resources and start buying low/selling high until it's time to start building again. You would be amazed how easy it is go gain 6.5 mil wood in one day.

    We know the prestiege is easy to get

    let's see what you have to defend it.

    Uploaded a photo of the wall now, check the site. I don't have an army with mentioning so no need to post it ( although that is my next little experiment ).

    Again this was to show how bad of a stat prestige is to judge someone's abilities in game. I think I ended noob mode well above a normal player, but that wasn't the point of this little experiment.

    I'll agree with that much

    the experienced agressive player is still going to destroy you, and if they get alliance support.....rather quickly.

    Now, if you manage to hoard enough medals in that time to do a huge town boom, it has potential. Good luck with that and the new drop rates though.

    the problem i see is that nearby powerful players will see you as a threat, either because they think youre cheating or they think youre really good. either way, a powerful player probably wont bother hitting some noob w/ 20k prestige right out of beginners protection, but wont have the same hesitation w/ someone who has 100k prestige. i agree that prestige is a bad measure, and if that was the point, i get it. but you keep saying that wasn't the point, so what was?

    I said the point isn't about my current position, it's about how lame prestige is and how insanely easy it is to gain. I'm just tired of all the talk 'this guy has 50k I won't attack him, this guy has 200k holy crap stay away from him', or 'I have 300k prestige bow to me.', etc that goes on constantly.

    A good player would scout and see that hey this guy is all prestige and not worth the hassle of going after just yet so I have zero concern for my current well being

    some still will. For instance I take out NPC towns for resources (food and gold), and hit players regularly so they never become a threat.

    If you came out of BP like this at the start of a server, and I was within 3 hours one way of you, I'd do my best to keep you from expanding.

    I play a hyper-aggro early game though.

    And this goes back to adaption also, happens in my alliance all the time with them keeping others down. With the use of truce agreements and a switched focus to 100% defense/troops those situations can be turned around fairly easy, especially if in an alliance.
