My oldest and his buddies used to dig extensive tunnels under their friends "houses" (more like gigantic palaces of the flashy kind), filled those tunnels to the brim with explosives and just for shit and giggles blew up the estates above.
Medieval war tactics rediscovered by preteens. My inner historian held several celebrations.
I was reading this reply from my inbox and took longer than I should've to realize this was about the Minecraft post.
I remember selling god gear to a rather small faction, so that they'd fight another. Then as they died and were focused on that, I just claimed their land. Of both.
I also raided an ally's secret area that their youngest leaked, then conviced them to join me by promising to give them shelter and loot - as a kind ally.
I just kept absorbing factions. Only one man made me ask politely, the one who outwitted me by being a pacifist. Hugger of war, lord of conquest completely enthralled by that which he could not have. He had conquered me and in doing so, conquered the server.
