Stupid question about capturing a turf

I thought it was possible to cap a turf using your own position and not having to rely on your other turfs positions. This doesn't seem to be the case. So if its true then the only way to get into a new area is BUY one turf and then start cappin? This seems kinda silly no? Why can't we use the gps location of our iPhone/pad/touch to cap a turf instead of relying on building new first? I'm 1 over the limit and the only way to expand is either use more don points or tear down turfs? : /

Yeah I dunno why players can't do this... I guess it's so powerful players can't just drive about in their car and cap like crazy.

😳😳are you crazy?
The turf that you are capping from must be in place for 24 hrs.
If you could drive around and just start capping any sense of balance in the game would be out the window. Use some sense!

So in order for me to progress I'm gonna be stuck with the option of tearing down a turf to place one in a more populated area. That's a shitty option. Another negative I see is when I'm over my turf limit the "free" turf I can get from the don will only allow me what I've already taken. There's got to at the very least be an option where the "free" turfs you get from the don or the ones you buy with don points don't go to allowing you to keep something you've already taken from another player. If that's the case then it really doesn't make any sense to cap turfs until your level 100 and have yourself spread out already. Am I missing something or doing something wrong??

You can increase your turf limit anytime you want. Capping lets you increase your turf without buying.

But when you have a game like this, with forums and bandwidth and development and servers and NO ADVERTISING, money has to come from somewhere to make it all happen.

if you want to see what you can do without buying turf, search for a player named Cupcake.

Ok maybe I'm not making myself clear if so im sorry. I understand the needing money part don't get me wrong I've even already bought a 500 pack of don points. And if not being able to cap from your location and having to cap using your turf makes the most sense then ok.

BUT my main point is this: my scenario now is I'm 1 over my limit. My next FREE turf from the don won't let me build anything it will only bring me even. If I spend points that still won't let me build until I buy 2. Say I go to an area and drop 1 turf and I get lucky enough to cap 5 turfs there. I'd get 5 free turfs from the don that I can't build with and would have to spend atleast 70 points to build 1 turf more?! What I think is that captured turfs shouldn't go toward your limit so when you get the free ones from the don and the ones you buy you can actually use them instead of catching yourself up to where you've already maxed yourself out. Pretty much have 2 turf lists 1 that is set by what the game will give you and you can buy more to add to it and a list for everything you've capped. Does this not make sense?

This has been duscussed many times.

It is an issue of balance of power. If capped turf did not countbtowards turf limit, stronger players could go wherever they want, buy and plant a new turf, cap evrythingbyou in range and the move to the next area and start the process all over again.

Consider this, you are being given the opportunity to gain turf above your limit without buying.

What if limit was limit? Once you hit limit, that's it. Mo more building, no more capping, unless you pay to increase your limit.

The Don has decided to be generous and let you cap beyond your limit.

Wow does noone else think I'm making sense? Lol. Seems to me like the only way to really go far in this game is spend a shitload of money. Someone can still get greedy and start cappin a ton of turfs it will just cost them ALOT. I thought that's what vendettas were for. To help control the bullies and overly greedy lol. Sux I really like this game just that 1 point of capd turfs not counting toward your limit I think would be very helpful to all.

Once again, thus argument has been had several tomes over already. What you are asking has been suggested a few times as well.

Read throug h the suggestion forum.

It's never going to happen.

Yes apps are not free or cheap, you can play completely for free, and you can gent max turf list of 35, at level 100 also there is no ceiling amount for capping so you can cap as many as you want. If you want reapid growth to make money and arm your mob, just like anything in life it doesn't come free
