The same goes other way round when you pass over opponent’s territory. You can capture territories owned by other people too, for this you will need to attack the territory by either a raid or takeover action. Both this attacks require you to use your loyalty score. Loyalty is earned by being more active in your territory by moving in it say, walking, running or cycling. As you defeat the lord(opponent) who is also the owner of land in attack, you become the new lord and can use it for further development. Similarly you will face attacks from other players which can be defended by building walls which cost money.  As you get wealthier and conquer more territories, you will need to be more active and loyal to your neighbors, you can take a look at your world rankings and medal achievements in the game.

Overall the game is rightly built for gamers of every age group who want to have  fun in their leisure time or take up extreme challenges against other lords. The only downside currently is the lack of players you find in the neighbourhood to fight against. But as the game slowly picks up popularity, Geo-location based gaming will be a real fun with a good number of opponents to compete against.
