 Spend all your money on items and in the [[Black Market|Spawning Hatchery]]. Get a few [[Satchel of Mist|Satchels]] for defense first and get offensive items like [[Potion of Valor]], [[Flask of Holy Water]] and if you use [[Mind Ripper|MRs]], [[Nymph|Nymphs]], [[Soul Speaker|SS]] and stuff use [[Monkey Brains]]. Missile Shields are good if you lose a lot of battles due to more damage dealt to you. Get some [[Nymph|Nymphs]] and [[Mind Ripper|MRs]] in the hatchery and cast the rest.
-Once you manage to get above 4k land start collecting [[Carpet of Flying|carpets]] and build your bars to max. Once you've reached max bars defend with [[Carpet of Flying|carpet]]/[[Blinding Flash]] or [[Carpet of Flying|carpet]]/[[Sword of Light]] depending whether green or black is the bigger threat. Set [[Carpet of Flying|carpets]]at 90% because you won't use them when you get devilled. From this moment on you shouldn't lose any land besides to [[BBQs]] or lucky [[online hits]].

 === Attacking ===
-Stop attacking nethers then and feed on whatever is tasty. Your guild should provide you with sufficient battle reports about targets you can feed on. Every colour can be beaten by white (even green). However, if you don't manage to get [[Carpet of Flying|carpets]] through his bars do regs instead. Adapt your stacking to your new threats/targets/your heros. Be VERY careful if you are alone. Do very few attacks and don't touch the dominating block or you'll be [[BBQ]]ed faster than you can imagine.

 I am not going into a detailed [[Hall of Immortals|hall]] strat now (pretty similar for all colours) but white can lay his hands on many cheap units with a lot of power. SS being great here and [[Crusader|Crusaders]] come in masses for the last recruiting. You should end Arma with no pop (because fully recruited), no geld and very little [[mana]] left. So plan carefully.

-Once you're in the top 10 (and given there is no block that prevents you from doing so you'll be there faster than you can imagine) be very careful. Everyone will watch you from now on. So as long as possible I'd suggest you stay at about rank 12. But once it's neccesary , get up to the top three if possible. You won't receive any randoms there but you'll receive a lot of online hits. So plan your runs very, very carefully. Do like 2-3 sieges to targets you know and summon up again fast. Up there a well done siege will earn you around 150-200 acres, so 2-3 is enough. Don't even dare to be greedy. you'll get online [[BBQ]]ed and then [[counter]]ed like hell. Everybody likes to jump on the fat top whitey.

 Attack new nether mages (meaning those you don't know the stacking) at the end of your [[turns|run]], because they might end the run sooner than you want. Try to increase your battle report collection steadily though and DON'T attack the same mage in two consecutive [[turns|runs]]. He might get angry and nethers can do nasty things to you.
-Because you stacked close you can now easily adapt your stacking to your targets. You don't want his [[Unholy Reaver|URs]] to hit ANYTHING besides your [[Unicorn|Unis]]. You never ever want his [[Lich|Lichs]]/[[Efreeti]] hit your [[Medusa|Medusas]] (but you want your [[Medusa|Medusas]] to hit them). You want your units with large shield ([[Knight Templars|KTs]], [[Knight|Knights]], etc) to be hit by [[RANGED]] stacks. You want your [[Spirit Warrior|SWs]] to be hit by [[units]] with high primary/low secondary and so on and so on.

 Check out your [[units]], check out his [[units]]. Read BRs and learn. If you don't know his stacking go for reg (except for the starting run) if you know his stacking, or feel good, go for a siege. Your [[Titan|Titans]] got [[SIEGE]] anyway and [[The Holy Light|THL]] should win you the battle.

 The next 24 hours, you are gonna leave your comp running. Stay in [[Beginner's guides#IRC|IRC]] and let your guild mates/allies have an eye on you to highlight if you have been devilled because you'll be devilled a lot. BUT because you stacked so close and run [[The Holy Light|THL]] you wont lose any land. Be careful though to recast your [[Archangel|AAs]] as soon as you been [[DOLZero's Devil Guide|devilled]] because you might not block the second devil, and will very, very likely lose the third one. This is no big mouth talking. Maerlyn blocks 80% of the devil attacks I receive and once you get the hang on it it makes you thrilled.

-Your top stack should always and under any circumstances be [[Archangel|AA]] (except if you are kickstarting, then I'd suggest [[Spirit Warrior|SW]] top for the first 2-2.5 weeks of the reset, but thats a whole different chapter). [[Archangel|AAs]] will also be your only flying stack for two reasons: [[Phoenix]] and [[Devils]]. In case someone attacks ([[counters]]) you with a short stacking and heavy either one of them you'll lose your other flying stack (be it [[Dominion|Doms]], [[Angel]] or whatever) to the burst/counter.

 Top ground are two possibilities: [[Spirit Warrior|SW]] or [[Unicorn|Unicorns]]. Usually at the beginning you willl prefer [[Spirit Warrior|SWs]] there, because you'll get more green attacks. Later on you'll like [[Unicorn|Unis]] because the nethers will become a problem. As soon as you can afford to defend with [[Carpet of Flying|carpet]], get [[Unicorn|Unis]] top ground.
