So from what I can see so far I'm going to put it out there that 300m nw might be the bottom end of the top 10 this set lol.

And anything up to 250m for the t25

T100 I haven't taken any look at... But will make a call of about 110m nw.

how do you define landtrading?

Land trading is when you attack someone (using landgrabs) that you know can and will retal you, and not attempt to outrun the retal. The defender need not be a willing party of a landtrade.

1:1 retal right? So if i with 10k acres grab a 50k acre country, knowing he can and will retal me 1:1 but i am still gonna make like 5k acres of it, its counted as land trading?

iScode, Land Trading is almost always 80% L:L. Just about all alliances enforce it.

But yes, your example is land trading, but is more commonly known as topfeeding because the other party doesn't actually gain anything if he only retals once.

I've seen a couple of 2:1 land trades, because the attacker at 80k couldn't find anyone size appropriate to trade with, so he attacks a smaller country twice, and have them retal once (or vice versa), but ultimately, it's L:L.

You said the defender need not be willing, and that land trading was defined as someone attacking a country you know will retal. When I grab fat ass, low defence countries. I know they will retal but only 1:1 not 80% l:l. Hence why I grab them, i know i will make out fantastically land wise.

I grab to ensure i get the maximum amount of acers and the other guy loses the maximum amount of acers, you can not call that land trading...

you need to fix your original definition bro.

That's where your logic fails. If you grab someone and they don't retal L:L, then it must be a tag that you might as well just farm.

Even if they only retal 1:1, it is still land trading. It just wasn't a fair trade. As far as _I'm_ concerned, if you don't try to outrun the retal(s), then its trading. Emphasis on "I'm".
