NE- War zone with tons of alliances warring for control. Minor alliances quickly decimated by the powers that be.
SE- More peacful than NE, densely populated however. Cheezehead premade and Virus vie for control amidst numerous minor alliances.
SW- Nightmares of Elysium dominate this area... however I forsee another major alliance will also be here. Pact possibilty or possibly major war.
NW- None of the premades find significant support in this quadrant. A alliance founded post-release grows rapidly in this area. Alternatively, no major alliances are formed until quite late. Instead, one-three city alliances populate this corner. Eventually, many of them merge together to form a respectable alliance.
This is my prediction.
Edit: Long-term, NoE and Cheezeheads/Virus dominate the world. NE alliances too divided to fight back. NW alliance(s) will attempt to segregate themselves through isolation. NoE may expand there, causing war.
