Land Strategy Pyramid
Land Strategy
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 @beaker007 which I am trying to answer or enhance a bit.
In the simplest form, this is what I have in my mind.
Less than 5 plots
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.
5-20 plots
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.
20-100 plots
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.
100-1000 plots
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.
1000 + plots
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.
clever moves you've been doing
I try my best
Very nice post—thanks! This will be super helpful to share when I get DMs from people asking about it 😁
Just a quick note: it looks like the levels are reversed in the image and the table.
Thank you.
I fixed the table!
Sometimes when I look at the data, plots, tables all day long I can't even see the most simple error! It was reversely sorted :) Thank you for catching it.
By the way, these infographics looks simple, but takes a lot of time to make. Much longer than my usual plots :)
I know learning it the hard way as well 🤣
@themarkymark @buildawhale & Co
You wield downvotes like a weapon, striking indiscriminately at whoever displeases you, whenever it suits your whim. And why? Why do you call people names as though their humanity is secondary to your ego? Is this how you justify your behavior—to diminish others so they might seem less worthy of fairness? You claim disdain for AI on Hive, yet your inner circle freely employs it without consequence. No downvotes for them, only for those outside your charmed circle. Tell us, why are you so selective in whom you punish and whom you protect?

@themarkymark & Co.,
We are being completely honest here, and you know it. The transactions don’t lie—you cannot escape this, no matter who you bring in to back you up. It won’t work. You’ve already exposed many of those close to you, so let’s be clear: WE ARE NOT TROLLING YOU. WE ARE SIMPLY SHARING THE TRUTH. And the Bilpcoin team is far from stupid. Calling us names changes nothing—it only fuels our determination to work harder.
IT’S OVER.
SPEAK UP. MAKE NOISE. TAKE A STAND.
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices do not just harm individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are not only unethical but outright destructive.

The blockchain data tells the story plainly and clearly. We are not fabricating these claims; we are merely presenting what is already visible for all to see. As we’ve repeatedly urged @themarkymark & Co—the solution is simple: STOP.
SO PLEASE STOP. It’s time to do what’s right for Hive and its community. Why cling to practices that harm others? Power down, step away, and let Hive thrive as it was meant to. You bring nothing positive to this ecosystem.
THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING—THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.
PLEASE STOP.
@themarkymark, Can You Explain Why the Bilpcoin Team’s Accounts Are on Your Blacklist?
@themarkymark We understand you’re a fan of data—so are we. After all, data is king, and when it comes to blockchain, transactions don’t lie and can’t be changed.

#bilpcoin we must stop the #buildawhalescam #buildawhalefarm #themarkymarkscam #themarkymarkfarm on #hive #thedarksideofhive
Interesting post. Im looking at moving back into research production as I build up my PP on a few of my lands as I want to build an aura lab but didn’t do research early… I have 10 plots but can’t really afford to stop with natural resources as I reinvest to add PP - it’s a marathon not a sprint though and I’ll get there!
With 10 plots if you start research now you will be negative for a while. It is a deliberate choice, but there will be consequences.
Yes, but without it am I never going to be able to produce Aura? And if future things are also gated behind research then I’m always going to be play catchup I suppose it’s better to take the pain now, feel for people only just getting in now
Yes, but consider why do you need Aura? To make midnight potion (for now). You can easily buy midnight potion for cheap at 2 cents.
That said, there might be more future use of Aura, and if that speculation is important to you, yes you should do some research.
Hopefully we can get a little clearer roadmap on what will be required to create the cards mentioned in the town hall, will help make decisions on wether to go research route I suppose
That is wishful thinking. Team have generated beautiful roadmaps in the past, and never been able to follow it successfully :)
Ha ha. Perhaps even an idea on Conflict repair kits then....
I think that announcement will be soon enough, as soon as next week or in the next two weeks
This is a good info. I am trying to guess if we achieved already 40% active plots of the total 150,000 plots.
We have been around 30% since we started collecting data. No major change.
Spot on with the levels here. These data visualizations are sexy. What are you using to plot these out?
Hi! You can have a try at napkin.ai, it's free just click "new napkin" on the left top, I use it, really easy to create a visual ;)
Napkin is great!
I will definitely be trying it out - thanks!
Napkin and Google Slides for writing text annotation.
Check it out. You can use it for school techings.
I've spent all of :30s looking through Napkin.ai and holy moly I've been missin out! Thanks dude!
A good tool for a educator. It is not perfect and requires editing later. But a good start for a powerpoint slide.
Absolutely. I will be messing around with it later today for some school-related data!

I'm jealous at your charts!
Oh! That is a great compliment coming from you! Thank you!
You know there are charts that I plan for days. In fact this morning I woke up with an idea of a chart! I messaged @beaker007 for some data, which he provided in literally two minutes! 😂
Then it took me several hours to fine tune the data and then several more hours to put together the new chart and write up. I will be posting it soon!
Yes, I am insane!
What tools did you use for this one?
Reached a similar conclusion working to exchange research into Aura right now. Slowly.
Yes, that is the most obvious outcome.
Grain Overlord - for when the famine comes 🙃
Interesting assumptions. As I'm currently planning my next move, this might be helpful for experiments. Is it possible to just sell Aura, or does it have to be turned into potions?
It is not possible to sell Aura, as it is soul bound
Okay, thank you! I'll see if I can calculate a simulation on SPS next week :-)
So that's my next step in Splinterlands, I'm not very far into Lands, but I hope to be by next month. Possibly a high escort?
