So originally i was going to do a new top 12 but honestly i was finding it quite boring to right so instead i decided to shake things up a bit
I am going to analyse each of the core oceans (44, 45, 55 and 54) giving my personal take on the alliances their as well as wars on each respective ocean.
44. So lets start with the ocean i am in
44 is probably the safest ocean to be an MRA in (granted that is not saying much at all). three top 12 alliances in it one of which could be competing for the crown. if i may say so myself the other two top 12 alliances (Demons and dogs) have held pretty well against Sit down and shut up. I think that war between those three alliances may drag on for a while. therefore this ocean is the least predictable. a lot of things could happen here and its bound to be a fun ocean to fight in.
Top 12 alliances predominantly in 44:
Sit Down and Shut up: Being in the centre is both a blessing and a curse. these guys better break into the core of 44 pretty soon otherwise i think they may have a spot of bother
The Elite Demons: Nice team overall. pretty solid and i like the leaders. definitely some talent (even if one or two may be a bit green).
MAD DOGS: My team so i will not say anything.
45. This ocean is split between True Fear and AN (i know your name i just hate typing it). I think a major war between TF and AN in inevitable. I think a war between those two team could be quite even. It's tough for anyone to make a safe bet on who will win. But the third alliance in the ocean (Black Phoenix) may tip the scales by siding with one over the other. so my thought would be to either take them out or align them with you.
top 12 alliances predominantly in 45:
Alecta Nemesis: Recognise a few players from Leontini. they seem like a decent team.
True Fear: Recognise this pre-made as well. Definitely ones to watch!
Black phoenix: I suppose they are the underdogs of this ocean. mostly situated on the north meaning a migration to 44 is possible.
55. So think team is dominated by the rather amusing fact that NONAME is being trounced by n0nAme (damn whoever keeps on confusing me with the name changes!). Although that fact that NutsNBoltz has openly boasted about having spies in NONAME is intersting. You could honestly look at that in two ways:
1. What a scumbag for using spies! Surely if he were a good leader he would not need them?
2. Spies have always been a part of grepolis. It's NONAME's fault for not routing them out properly.
Of course that debate could go on forever so i am just going to leave it their
There is always the chance NONAME could turn the war around but that is becoming increasingly unlikely. I am not going to analyse NONAME or n0nAme because honestly i don't truly see the point.
54. Mostly dominated by Hug This who already have a formidable core (i am so jealous!). nothing more needs to be said really. Don't 'negotiate' with Thizzle and try to avoid offending them. I hope Wargasm and Reapers rage are tasty
top 12 thingy:
Hug This: i would be repeating myself if i said anything more.
Wargasm: probably next on the menu considering they have already lost 15 cities.
Reapers Rage: the arrogance of the founder provided me with some amusement. I will gladly watch as he is whipped from the face of this server
Now just a quick footnote. These kind of things take forever to make. This one by itself took me about 40 minutes. It is a lot of effort and it is hard to do these consistently. So when people make newspapers and top 12's. Take some time to express your gratitude to them
It makes compiling all of this worth it
