Land

Your land can be accessed by clicking "Town" under the Castle Age banner, then clicking the "Land" tab. Land is used to make money every hour automatically. Some people think of this as a supplemental income, but if you want to buy the best items in the game, the only way you can buy it is if you have a lot of land. Once you buy land, it adds to your hourly income, and will continue to do so forever. The trick is to buy land, and have the land pay for itself, and use the money generated by land to buy more land.

Land has an incremental cost. When you first start off in the game, it is best to buy land as soon as you have the money for it. After buying 20 pieces of land, it is the most cost effect to buy land 10 at a time.

There are 7 kinds of land.


 * Small Tower


 * Temple


 * Marketplace


 * Mountain Keep


 * Castle


 * Lake Fortress


 * Sky Sanctuary

Small Towers, Temples, Marketplaces, and Mountain Keeps yield proportionally the same results.

An interesting note is the fact that Castle, Lake Fortresses and Sky Sanctuaries are set up in such a way so that if you would buy them when they are the most cost effective, it will take a predictable amount of time to raise the funds for it. To buy land when they are most cost effective, their ratio of money spent Vs. time until the land pays for itself is the highest. If Mountain keeps cost 25,000,000, and earn 200,000 an hour, then the land will pay for itself in: 125 hours, or 5.208 days. That means you earn back 19.2% of what you spent a day. If you figure out the % you earn back every day, and only buy the land with the highest %, once your income is above 10 million per hour, it will take you about 16 hours to raise the funds to buy a 10 Castles, 36 hours to raise the funds to buy 10 Lake Fortresses, and 48 hours to raise the funds to buy 10 Sky Sanctuaries. Which means, if you did your math right, you can increase your income per hour by 1 million every day.
