Land Occupancy
As I dive deep into the land data, one thing becomes very obvious, that not all plots, tracts, regions are created equal. Not that they are inherently different, but they are managed very different. The simplest thing I can look up when I look up the regions of Preatoria is the occupancy or activity rate. First the main bullets:
Image created by Grok
- Only one region is 100% active; PNW-11, kudos to druidsblood
- 3 regions are 90% and above active, PNW-11, CEF-76, and CEF-78; again druidsblood, jarvie and vugtis respectively
- 39 out of 143 regions are 50% or above active; so that is 27% of the regions
- therefore, 104 out of 143 regions are below 50% active; so that is 73% of the regions
- 33 regions out of 143 are below 10% active; so 23%, less than 100 plots are active here
- there are 4 regions with ZERO activity: 87, 88, 101, 103
You can look at this and find your region of interest and see how many plots are active at the time of this writing. This alone should give you a basic idea how your region could be performing as a whole. What you hope you don't want to be are in those 33 regions that are in the Red Box in the plot above:
- PR-WNE-100
- PR-SHC-137
- PR-CEF-67
- PR-GLL-118
- PR-BRL-35
- PR-BRL-33
- PR-LOP-55
- PR-GLL-115
- PR-CEF-66
- PR-SHC-143
- PR-GLL-128
- PR-CEF-68
- PR-PNW-19
- PR-GLL-113
- PR-LOP-56
- PR-WNE-104
- PR-LOP-57
- PR-PNW-15
- PR-LOP-45
- PR-LOP-49
- PR-BRL-37
- PR-BRL-36
- PR-LOP-58
- PR-BRL-21
- PR-SHC-129
- PR-GLL-107
- PR-GLL-116
- PR-SHC-131
- PR-SHC-130
- PR-WNE-87
- PR-WNE-88
- PR-WNE-101
- PR-WNE-103
I wanted to make a list and write it. Not all of these are created equal. 143 is brand new, it is only beginning to get filled, so there are opportunity there. Fun fact, region 142, the one just before this one, is 87% active.
Iron
I wrote and presented the Grain plots on this post. I should repost the main Grain-Grain plot here for comparison.
Similarly here is the plot for Iron. You will obviously wonder why didn't I make the different fields here. This is simply because I don't know yet what is the relative scaling between grain and other resources. There is a theoritical scale:
Below a chart that represent what the factor is against grain based on the whitepaper
Grain: 0.02
Wood: 0.005 1 Wood = 4 Grain
Stone: 0.002 1 Stone = 10 Grain
Iron: 0.0005 1 Iron = 40 Grain
But I have no idea if this relationship will hold in practice or not. It is too early to tell. So I am holding off on putting low-mid-high boxes on the new resources.
Boy! What is happening in 76 and 80! Oh well, let us see.
| Region 76 | Region 80 |
|---|---|
 |  |
Jarvie is the usual suspect in 76. So Grain Mafia and the Iron Mafia! However, Region 80 is interesting. Looks like it is a commune of Immortal Gods guild, lots of max alpha and beta cards staked here I am thinking.
Stone
Okay. Let us look into stone. Here we call in Rock. Thanks to the curse of being a geologist I have none of it! Almost! So who owns most of the rock quarries?
Looks like 78 and 73, but 119 is not far behind.
| Region 78: Vugtis! Finally! :) | Region 73: Vugtis Again! Boo Yeah! |
|---|---|
 |  |
Wow! A double leader in Stone! @vugtis for the win. This is major flex, and as expected and well deserved too!
Wood
Finally Wood. My land in in the Pacific (sorry Pristine!) NW, where we do have plenty of forests. So Wood is one resource I am not that worried about, but looks like so is the rest of the world. Everyone has a lot of wood, and prices are obviously tanking!
Okay! Region 80 back again. The cyguy led IG commune. They top two natural resources looks like.
Summary
I am thinking how to properly display the three natural resources. I can plot their current distribution in terms of staked PP, and that will give me a log-normal distribution with P10:50:90, and that will dictate the low-mid-high boxes. Then I should do the same for grain and that will change the grain boxes. I will think about this some more and plot. Later!
Oh! I will finish up with the Grain factor plot. How resources are trading relative to theoritical grain baseline. Notice, Wood is breaking the baseline already! Iron is trading at fair value. Stone, the resource I do not have, is doing the best! Obviously, no surprise there!

Nice one AZ, it will most certainly be interesting to see how it plays out!
Right now, on the PP Based Pricing Metric, Stone should be trading at 10:1 Grain but is actually trading at 20:1 Grain!
Iron is close to the PP Metric but as you said and I agree - will the 4:1, 10:1 and 40:1 Ratios be a good measurement? Or will difficulty in harvesting add a Premium to the Resources?
We shall see!
This is 7 days :)
It can potentially trade below the raw price of grain
Wouldn't that be something - it's exciting to see!
Dang, 104 of 143. That's honestly a bit depressing. I wonder how different those numbers might be if they had been able to launch land in line with the original time table.
104 at below 50% is not necessarily a bad thing. It is a reflection of availability of cards. We simply don’t have enough cards available to fill all regions at max
Yeah, I guess that is a good point. I figured it was just people not caring.
Crap, I've got two plots in region 137 😅 well, hopefully it will get more active in the future!
yeah, call a conference among the land holders. You can look up who is in your region here.

ah cool! I didn't knew this existed, only 1 name I recognize 😆 my other region where I have 6 plots in is 23, cool to see my neighbors are gank, dejota, ghostlybg and infidel1258 😊
Land was meant to soak up all the cards from the market, what happened?
There are so many unoccupied...
There isn't any card available for your need. Say try GF Epics for CL. You can't even get five max cards for any unit. Even GF Rares are impossible.
The ones that are unoccupied, have two types of people
Land and survival together did what it is supposed to do. Now Land need to provide incentive. I am told in 2 months there will be more incentive via land.
Hopefully there is enough to get fighter4freedom to put some cards where I overpaid for a keep!
probably not, because there are no cards left to put.
There is literally no cards available. Outside your playing deck (survival soaked it up).
Region 80 is on another level, a full on commune stacking maxed out cards like pros. They might be running their own mini empire. It’ll be interesting to see how that plays out long term too
Thanks for this series of posts. I need to read them better, but for now, I'm glad our region (106 from NE) is slightly above the 50% activity bar.
Thank you. I need to do my share of optimization myself!
lets go lonshire 119 - stone merchants we are
Stone is the one that made me the most in the trading pool! I'm glad I have a plot... Reading through your info, I might just focus on that one :-D
Thanks for all the info!
