Pnp GreCap #1

Hello and welcome to Grepolis Recap (or GreCap for short )

Just keeping you guys informed with what has been going on in the amazing world of Grepolis.
Forums have been experiencing their periodic draught of posts and threads but the Grepolis world Cythera is just as alive as ever. One of the hottest topics is Moderated Nation and Infectious and WHY on earth they just aren't fighting.
Moderated Nation (known as MN) and Infectious have been playing different tactics in Cythera.

Infectious have gone for the plan of "Conquer and Expand" and have branched out and gained many cities in oceans 44 and 45 as well as maintaining control in o54. It actually seems to me as if they are trying to surround MN before they attack them so that they will have little places to hide.
Moderated Nation have gone for more of a "turtle" tactic by taking cities mainly in one ocean and being highly concentrated in that one ocean.

My Opinion: Infectious and Moderated Nation are both alliances that strongly believe in attacking so why not fight each other? It's simple...Mutual Fear. Moderated Nation fear Infectious as the number 1 alliance and don't believe all their players could handle a war against Infectious so are not stepping out of their ocean (Like a cat afraid to step in a pond).
Infectious fear Moderated Nation's legacy as Hateocracy from Calydon and believe that Moderated Nation would be hard competition who would at the very least greatly stunt their growth rate which they do not want.

Well I will say now, MN. Strike Infectious while they are still in your range because your tactic of solely taking cities in o54 is not a sustainable method of growth as you will just run out of cities to take and may even begin settling for small cities. Infectious on the other hand are just growing and growing where they please and will not have this problem you will face.

Enough of these two now. They will decide when they final step on the battlefield but PLEASE hurry it up...we need this war to happen sooner rather than later.

Anyways there is another alliance I want to talk about. The alliance I believe will actually win Cythera because looking at it from a WW islands perspective they have many cities in the rim safe from enemies...Yes they are the one and only Little Dwarfs.

They are the second alliance I believe which has taken the most cities from Infectious (Army of Gauls is first) and I think they could break into o55 very easily and show Infectious a thing or two...Well it would be easier for them if Infectious' little servants Aegis didn't help their bosses by defending them.

Side Note: Aegis really? Why do you let them send you to run their errands?

Well Little Dwarfs are now my favorites to win after Les Noobs did the old un-merge and i hope to see them do well against Infectious or whoever they choose.

Well that's all I have information of. I would want to do a gossip section so if you have a story and want to share anonymously (you can trust me because I don't have a Cythera account anymore) please pm me in forum and I swear to protect your identity

I couldn't agree more, as a player from calydon who fought hate I'll tell you beware hate, they will turtle and pact, they will merge with alliances who are scared of them to create flesh walls to guard their wonders. Now is the time to stop mod nation, if someone doesnt now its gonna be much harder and more of a risk later.

MN is filled with The Hate, really? Lol I haven't kept up with news here. Anyway infectious should be afraid of them if they are Hateocracy.

 

[DeletedUser42126]

Honestly I would much rather fight infect then MN. their players are active and have a really tight core making it next to impossble to take a city from them.

 

[DeletedUser33530]

they take "you shall not pass" to a new level.

Interesting read although I do disagree with your theory on who will win the WW and why. I will assume from reading the above that you have not actually participated in WW on a server before, as what Moderated Nation is doing is literally the perfect strategy to "win" the server. They are bunching all of their cities together in a small area, this is a great wonder strategy for multiple reasons. Wonders is about getting resources sent to the wonder islands as quickly as possible, having plenty of resources to send, and being able to defend your wonder islands. Since all of moderated nations cities are bunched so closely together this makes their strategy great for WW even if admittedly boring.

 

[DeletedUser29152]

yeah but in the worlds i've played the alliances that expanded further than others would win so that's why i believe that

Completely agree, WW is all about building from the inside - out

MN only have a couple of really solid players, as did Hateocracy in Calydon. Other than that, there are lots of mediocre players tagging along from Calydon. But if Infectious wants to win the ww's then they have to make a move sooner than later. MN won't make the move, they're better at planning and defending than actively attacking which worked for them in Caly. Just expressing my opinion here

 

[DeletedUser]

i still don't accept WW as a game feature, even if it's been here for 2 years or so. i'd rather sign a loss of WW race with tons of conquests count ahead of the enemy then sign a WW win, but with tons of cities lost to the enemy

 

[DeletedUser29152]

does anyone have any gossip to pm me? i would like to do a GreCap #2 soon but have had no replies...even your own opinions and insults of other alliances will be great

Think you mean Cimmerians - One good player (identity is a secret) and a lot of Digi Disciples. And defending? Think our alliance ABP was higher than top next 5 put together. And we got ours before WWs not after.

 

[DeletedUser29152]

yes we baited out a top 2 member's opinion...so Noz what is your view on Infectious?

Completely agree mate, WW is awful. I for one will never participate in them again. I am a little fuzzy on the details but didnt Triad take more cities off of you guys on Athens than you did them and you guys won wonders? Maybe I am remembering incorrectly, but I thought that was what happened.

It's normal Hate had most abp since it was the only alliance still there from the start, kudos for that, even though you invited your way through oceans

If someone from MN attacks you, always leave at least 1 bireme in your harbor, you'd be surprised how many of them send full unescorted army waves.

Noz, you'll be happy to know that i plan on coming back to Cythera, probably in March, i'll start somewhere behind MN and force my way to the core haha, sorry had a little bit too much wine, hope you're doing good noz

Looking forward to it Hope all good with you and that you actually have time to play this time

 

[DeletedUser22708]

We'll see in March, i'll definitely enjoy the break from grepo

true, triad took more, but mostly, if not only because we were getting inactives to easily feed on. if you had the chance to peek into our forum, you'd only see tripwire reports not a single call for support to defend against an incoming CS, specially in the late stages of the server while we had way more attempts and successful CS landings at active players of theirs. sometimes numbers can be deceitful. check this link (server ended on 27th october so ignore these ''conquests'' form then on http://grepointel.com/alliancecompare.php?server=en25&A=1615&D=275&H=9999 )

i took 29 cities from them and lost 4, 2 which i reconquered

Ahh I see well MORC and Triad were both top notch alliances. Athens was one of the more competitive servers that I have seen, one of the few servers where the big alliances actually fought it out with each other for a long time.
