Lately people have been asking me a lot about what strategy they should employ if they are starting on land. Sometimes I also get questions about what is the best thing to do if they have only 10 plots. I can answer these questions individually or I can write a post about it. Better yet, if I can generate a plot or a visual infographic that might help them. In fact in this case I got the idea/request from 
In the simplest form, this is what I have in my mind.
If you have less than 5 active plots, believe it or not, that is most of the players, you should consider producing just natural resources. Grain, Wood, Stone and Iron. If you have a choice, Stone is the best option, because it currently has the best price structure. Do not worry about grain. Grain is very cheap, and you can just buy grain.
If you have 5-20 active plots, that is still a lot of people, nearly 500 to be precise, you may want to consider some SPS or Aura production, if you have a favorable plot. An occupied or magical plot that is. If you do not, consider making just natural resources.
If you have 20-100 active plots, you begin to have many choices. Hopefully you have put good cards in them. You may want to have a long term view on the project and consider making some Research points on your magical plots. If you have produced a lot of research during the land 1.5 era, consider not doing any Research. Most of the elite players are not doing any Research currently.
If you have 100-1000 plots, chances are you already know what you are doing and you do not need my advice! Just continue to do what you are doing and help the project and fellow players.
If you have more than 1000 + active plot, I likely know you and you can teach me a thing or two :) Well you are vugtis, jarvie, cryptomancer, queenofmonsters, leveluplifeph and I know all of you and there is no point hiding your name.
Here is the frequency distribution of active plots in detail.
I have tried to do a broader bin, as per the above buckets and did a count. I think this plot below is simpler in I tried not to use the word Land Whale! LOL!
| Active Plots | Number of Players |
|---|---|
| 0-5 | 1602 |
| 5-20 | 496 |
| 20-100 | 250 |
| 100-1000 | 67 |
| 1000+ | 5 |
Hope this helps to understand the problem in a simple manner. This is just my opinion and other can have different opinion. If you have a different suggesting do let me know.
