Optis Top 5
Been a while since I have done a top 12 (in this case 5), and a lot has changed in this world so I think it is time for an update. Going to keep this one as short and sweet as possible.
So, hang in there.
Only Fans/More Fans
At the top of this list, we have the big boys, only fans and more fans. Not much to be said here that has not already been said. They are still dominating the world and war with TB is still in full swing it seems with more and more OF cities popping up on the 45 frontlines, tough to see who will win here but I will let the stats speak for themselves. Think it goes without saying that they are doing well, with their strong core in 44 and expansion into 54 against Nocturnos, but do all the players have it in them to stay all the way through WW stage? we shall see.
Rank 1 fighters.
Main war scores:
OF 95 - 53 TB
OF 39 - 0 NOCS
Lots of smaller alliances, but war scores are a landslide.
True Bloods/True Bloods 2
here we have TB, strong team holding their own against OF. I am seeing more OF in 45 than TB in 44 and the war score shows almost twice as many losses as the enemy OF so looks like a losing battle so far, but they can come back from it if they work together more offensively. Lots of big players here but not as many fighters. Most likely due to their focus on having complete control over 45, which will pay off long term but its hard for them to get BP with only one front line.
Rank 3 fighters.
Main war scores:
TB 53 - 95 OF
TB 78 - 2 The Griffins
TB 20 - 1 Arkadians
Black Dawn
Black daw, new contenders for top 5. Some good strong players here, especially with the recent merge from the late alliance Bye Bye Birs. However, now, they are not performing to well in a recent war against DOA, due to a few of their players going inactive and a few players ghosting it is making it hard for them to have a good stance in this war. They seem to be doing good in 54 against nocs but is there a future for them in 55? No, probably not.
Rank 5 fighters.
Main war scores:
BD 64 - 9 Nocs
BD 119 - 0 SK
BD 5 - 64 DOA
Disciples Of Ares/Initiates Of Ares
Not going to say much here as I am a member of this alliance so just going to show some stats. But in my humble opinion I think we are doing well so far.
Rank 2 fighters.
Main war scores:
DOA 131 - 23 GA
DOA 91 - 30 BBB
DOA 64 - 5 BD
Nocturnos
Right then, Nocturnos. They have had it tough to say the least. With a recent ghost from Achilles one of their top players (leader?) and pressure from OF and BD they have been taking some significant losses. They are still on the rim of 54/64 with a decent core, but with the merge from BD they are now in more danger. They may still have a chance to sort things diplomatically, but looks like they left it a bit late to get battle ready. No doubt there are some decent players here, but are they reaching their full potential? I do not think so.
Rank 8 fighters.
Main war Scores:
NOCS 20 - 0 LOTR
NOCS 9 - 64 BD
NOCS 0 - 39 OF
Honourable mentions
Grepo Addicts - Under extreme pressure from DOA causing all of them bar a few to hit VM (I see you
@claytonsrevenge, respect) core is pretty much gone, and a lot have joined DOA.
Shadow Knights - I don’t know much about the players in this alliance or the alliance as a whole, but they seem to have lost every war they entered. Not much else to comment here.
And finally,
Bye Bye Birs. These guys were extremely fun to fight, they did a good job of holding their own and taking some of DOA cities. Undoubtedly some good fighters here. They have since merged with Black Dawn and the war on them still rages on. So, here’s to more fun times ahead.
That’s all from me.
