Building more farms is just giving your enemy more pillage points in wars. You fix this by..... STOP BUILDING THEM

Hmm.. the Low Point model posted in the forum talks about "Hiding resources in Depots" Do these Depots refer to Supply Depots for moving resources, or Imperial Reserves in each individual province? Please do clarify, im a little confused..

The strategy was made before the creation of Imperial Reserves. Back in those days (and still in older version realms), the supply depots would not automatically unload until you had 15,000 points. That means you could use them to hide resources.
With the advent of Imperial Reserves, the strategy needs to be adapted to utilize these, instead.

you can store the resources on fort if you are careful  but is a strat for 4 realms. the issue is the price of centralization, cause if you play like merry said, you`ll end up as a big farmer with almost the highest points in the realm  |

nope.
only people in x2 (double or half your points) without penalties
people in x5 with some penalties
I have just sent my army to attack another player which is in x2. But I started a research immediately after that and I found that this player is no longer in x2 range. Any penalties in this case? |

Thanks Radooo!
I am about to colonize another province.
If I colonize province 3, 7, 9, 13, then my enemy can't attack province 8. Is that true?

I don't get it. How did colonization help in protecting Province 8?
If to colonize, which province shall I colonize?
I am currently playing in Realm 7. Centralization is very expensive. Is it still worthwhile to colonize surrounding provinces?

Like makavelis said, if you colonize province 3,7,9,13 then anyone who attacks province 8 will start the attack with 20 less morale, so it gives "protection" to province 8.

If I only colonize the second province, is there any "protection"?
Is there any difference if I colonize province 1 or province 3?

Hi, I´m playing LPS in three realms. In the V2 one, it goes quite well; but in both with V4 I feel like I´m getting to a dead end... The price of centralization in V4 is too high and my points will explode...has anybody found a solution for that issue? :s Thanks in advance. PD:Excuse my english.  |

no man..v4 is definitely not for LPS for all era..you certain can "hide" in range...but due to 5x rule...  must get very carefull at networthexplosion. |

Well...I supposed that, but I thought there would be a way to sort that obstacle...
Perhaps I should try two different "hybrid" strategies in both V4 realms...any idea beyond non-boxed fort 5 ?
Colonize one province at a time and grow progressively?
Develope higher levels of fort, fortification and garrison? I mean...concentrate in defense and then explode?
BTW...is it foolish to think that V4 was conceived to avoid LPS? Cos' if that wasn´t the goal, at least it seems as if it was...
Greetings.
