That would be it for the overall ranking. You should have a basic idea by now what is going on. But to get an even better knowledge, in the last part of this issue let's analyse a bit each coalition and their interaction with others. I won't rank them, just go by what i feel would be the best order. Take that sip of your drink and let's go.
Rank by points: #2
Rank by number of cities: #1
Rank by number of TOP 35 players: #2 (11%)*
Rank by number of TOP 35 fighters: #1 (19%)*
Arguably currently the TOP alliance by statistics is Sunshine. Their way to fully dominate O45 is wide open. In the early days their biggest threat was Grim Reaper Lords (Top alliance who turned into ashes). Currently they are fighting Pirates in O44, but since it's not their ocean anyway, losing their remaining 47 cities there won't make much of a dent in their pursuit to victory. On the other front their branch Heavy Metal borders Fortress coalition and it would seem there should be lots of fighting, but there isn't. That makes me come to the conclusion they have either NAP or pact.

Ranked at the top by points Fortress is a major force in Fylakas. However if we look at the fighting stats, it begs the question - who are they actually fighting? Having less than 1% of their players in top 35 fighters list it looks like they are just... simming? Not that it's a bad strategy, but not the most fun in my opinion. But hey, i'm not their leader and i'm sure they have a plan in place for the late game that is months away. So there is still time to surprise everyone. In the meantime, they could push up north into O54 and start a war with Owllusion. We'll see, we'll see.

Owllusion seems to be in a similar situation as Fortress - they don't really fight anyone. They share the same low percentage in TOP 35 fighters list, but unlike their O55 neighbors their number of high points players also is extremely low. So overall, judging by stats, this coalition is not on par with the Sunshine, Fortress and Pirates in terms of copetitiviness. Their lack of enemies in O54 is the only saving grace that they are still in the game. On the other hand, we don't know how they would react with their backs pressed on the wall. It could go either way. In the coming month that could happen.

Looking at the O44 map it would seem that Pirates are not in the best of the situation being spread out between their backline core north of the ocean and frontline in the south east. The fact that they are also surrounded by Aliens, Sunshine, Owllusion would make casual player think that they are done done. However things couldn't be farther from the truth. They just have it. They are organized (backline core), they are aggresssive (almost tied with nr.1 TOP 35 fighters), they have passive enemies (Aliens, Owllusion). All these things combined gives them a place to grow and expand and fight for the crown.

The last coalition on the list is the most fragile one. Comprised of Alien Warriors (few good fighters), The army of Rome (mostly passive turtles) and Compotik Gold (golders) they are the only ones who don't dominate any ocean. And the reason is simple - they are not as organized as other coalitions. While they are not terribly spread out, currently they are losing ground and moving west of the ocean to grow in safer areas. If i have to predict their future, i don't see them compete for the crown and i am not sure if they even survive the next month. Pirates are on the hunt for their villas.
