Ok... no-ones tried this tack yet...
Imagine you have 4 "33% all resources" vills in your 15x15.
You can either farm all four, or noble all four.
Farming all four would mean you get all the resources, into one village, and means you can actually noble out a threat nearby.
Nobling all four spreads the resources out amongst them, and makes it kinda pointless in taking them. That and the fact you look like an easy target.

Such linear thought:icon_sad:
Imagine if you apply the same principles of proper early world clustering to the use of taking "abandons."
On a pure cost function, the lack of lost troops and improved farming power would allow me to keep up, your minimizing your costs, and continuing to maximize your income if you noble far enough away. Setting up perhaps a tight cluster 30 blocks away could be a very smart move, and it would not reduce your income what so ever. You will also be keeping your army in case you do need to remove a threat. At least in the realm that I play moving first against a true threat is sometimes a huge disadvantage. Nobles are cheap especially in coin wolds, you would be easily able to conquer 10 villages with one village. Then you can start pumping out defense in all 10 villages, beefing up your account to probably one of the more defendable ones in the world. Now this may not be the best starting strat, but I bet you could keep in the top 10 doing it. In fact I have seen people stay in the top 5 doing it:icon_eek:
Anyway such ridged thinking never pushes anything forward think outside the box a little, because it has been done before by some great players, I dont know you you maybe good, but try not to close your mind so much.
