BP has ended!! Everyone is racing out to battle wit the first conquests already starting. This world will soon become a bloody battlefield and the champions will rule the world. Wars are starting, alliances are being made and Rhethymnos is coming to life.
Lets start this edition by examining the top alliances:
From our last report on the top alliances we can see these changes:
Many alliances are going down in ranks and we are starting to see the real alliances growing in ranks to take their place. BP has ended so we will look into the bp ranks:
Now onto the interviews:
Ashopath - top player and abp rank
Kayfon: Your top player in the world, 2 cities, 5000 pts in 5 days, mind sharing how you did it?
Ashopath: I'm glad you asked as many people have speculated, some even make accusations of foul play.
This is a numbers game so maths is the key, resources in particular, gold is not enough. Yes gold will cut down your build times but what good would that do if you don't have enough resources to build the next building? A good foundation of farming villages is needed, once the resources come flooding in so will the points. Obviously a good building plan helps and I may write a guide on that at some point. This isn't known to everyone but you can get free gold by completing certain tasks like filling in surveys etc. Personally I do not buy gold, I attain this way.
Some simple calculations are all that is needed to achieve what I have, anyone can do it.
Kayfon: Wow well I'm sure everyone will be surprised. So out of curiosity, how long do you have to play everyday to get to the place your at?
Ashopath: I work from my laptop as a software programmer, I spend around 9 hours a day 5 minute farming, the rest of the time is spent with my 3 boys. I know that a lot of people play Grepolis at work themselves so as I say, everyone is capable of reaching this level.
Kayfon: Well good job. Now about your alliance, what do you want your alliance will become later on?
Ashopath: Well the aim of the game is to build the World Wonders, The Empire is going to accomplish this. I have avoided playing a Hero world until I have won a Warrior world, I like to do things systematically. I will help my members and my members will help me to reach this goal, I only take in the best to get the best results. I have seen players get disheartened with the game when they lose their cities, I am building an alliance where this does not happen, I like Grepolis and I want to make sure my members keep enjoying it.
Kayfon: You also have a great amount of ABP, could you explain how you got troops and points that high so early?
Ashopath: Again it's all about resources, you have to speculate to accumulate. Having a good amount of troops allows you to make permanent farms on your island, which in turn brings in more resources for more troops. The troops are virtual and do not need rest, they do not sit around in my city doing nothing, aggression pays.
Burdock - Founder of Death Wing Company
Kayfon: Alright, your founder of Death Wing Company, an alliance with one of the best averages, how did you do it?
Burdock: Well we just take in the best, yet we don't necessarily look at points first. We look at experience and BP, if a player has none of that then they are not accepted into this alliance.
Kayfon: Some people are saying you guys are new to the game, care to elaborate?
Burdock: The only thing new to this game is this alliance, everyone else here knows what they are doing and have experience that make them a worthy adversary.
Kayfon: Well you guys sure look like a good team. Who do you think of as your biggest threat so far?
Burdock: Hm our biggest threat... were not quite sure on that one. If I had to say though is that Red Nation could put up quite a fight for this ocean. As for ChAoS though, im still not sure if there a threat.

8 | EVOLUTION OF D3TH | 4038 | 1/2 dbp, 1/2 abp, not so good |
