WW era is coming in few months and this is how alliances are standing. I can divide alliances in 3 categories:
1. Giant turtle MRA Coalition, where we have OA101, PoA, Khal Drogo, Olympian Roughnecks(who are same thing as OA101), Insurgence and there may be even more. Without these additional alliances, 5 of them have 400 players. Alliance cap, as we all know, is 200, which means all smaller players will be disbanded and rest of them will try to form some kind of super turtle alliance for WW era. My advice for future merger and alliance name would be Galapagos
2. Most organized alliances where we have Spider Monkeys, Enigma and Atomic. First two certainly proved themselves as best alliances on server for obvious reasons and Atomic is not on that level but third spot is theirs without any questions. WW era is coming so we will see who will do what...
3. castle builder alliances where everybody else are. They may try to feel important if they do a merge. Giant turtle MRA coalition would certainly welcome them, but unfortunately they have already problems with numbers. Solution will be to have GtMRA coalition 1 and GtMRA coalition 2 as separate alliances, and if they take the rest of server with them(that wouldn't surprise me at all) we may have academy alliances of academy. Maybe training center alliance where they will learn how to send resources to wonder quickly.
Now Top 12
ENIGMA 64 players
They were unusually silent recently. Taking cities from Poa and internal conquests, so I guess they are preparing something big soon. Merge with The Gauls brought new amusement over there, waiting for some DBP to flow into alliance, but I must disappoint them..., Guys, turtle attack is very rare in human history.
They have ww islands ready so everybody should count Enigma as one of the major contenders for win.

Spider Monkeys My alliance so no comment.
Insurgence 139 players
They have some very good players, but that's all. Last city lost by enemy 24.5.2013. shows they are not under pressure. They are doing own buildings, easy conquest and nothing more. I wish we could see some big conquests from their top lads.
top attackers:stavosthegreat 532640(leading abp player-great job) and ex -9- leader Tormaja 392239
Olympia Alliance 101 103 players
I can't wait to see that name changes. They are attacking from time to time, and even if these attacks are not organized and strong at least they are trying. It is a long time since server started but it seems to me they are still learning. Most of the time they are helping KD from SM invasion, so lads, merge finally and take the rest of "Galapagos" with you.

Phalanx of Achilles 108 players
I don't want to be rude so I will just say "oh God!" Coalition members of "Galapagos" with most laughable attacks I have ever seen.
Top attacker:LuciusCorneliusSila 235827
Atomic 47 players
I like these guys. They are not amazing, but comparing to others this is class. Taking some cities from SM new guys who are still learning and taking OA101 cities on daily basis. They are big question mark for me, since I don't have a clue about their WW era strategy. Anyway, even as enemies, they have my respect.
Top attackers: Devindared 292395, JoyKillah 276541
Khal Drogo 39 players
Defending from SM with help from 4 alliances around and we are still winning. Cities are falling, members are turning VM on and off all the time. They are getting DBP's since they are armed with all turtle accessories(double BP and improved defense 30%) but they can't do anything with these BP's. SM had 40 cities more than KD in O55 when HK merged with SM and now it is 418SM 248KD(even more will fall while I'm writing). Rim, baby, rim.
If they were not turtles like this, I think they would do much better, but... Still, funshiba is very polite guy and I hope he is not taking this too personal.
Top defenders dioniuss 438997 funshiba 406796(this stats will go up very soon)
Eternal Spartans 81 players
Most probably one more "Galapagos" member. I'm too lazy to check. I did not want to be rude to PoA, so to this guys I will just say "Oh! Saprta!"
top attacker: lost in action...
Others will be commented when they deserve.
Cheers
