Issue III​
28th September,2014​
In Today's Issue:

  • Update
  • Alliance Heading & Then and Now Growth Rate
  • War Stats
  • Weekly Stats (*Added Weekly Fluctuations)
  • Competition
  • Suggestion Box
Update:

Since last week war has broken out between "Epic" and "Northern Riots".Reason for the start of war can be found below.In other news the war between "Venominium" and "OCEANS VETERANS" has come to a halt but the war between OV and "Ruse" still continues.Nothing major than that has happened during the past week.All is pretty much still quiet.Also for those who do not know about the Persian Conquest the reporter is gonna blow your curiosity bubble.Artemesia will be coming to all worlds on the 6th of October.She will most probably be ranked 1 and have a city in every ocean.Her cities cannot be spelled on or spied.Also depending on the age of the world the city will have plenty of defensive/offensive units.
Our goal is to takeover the city by killing all the units.But beware you cannot spell her or get a spy.meaning you will e walking into a death trap(possibly).The city only need to be taken by 1 member of the alliance and after which the conqueror gets to chose the buff the WHOLE alliance receives(I think).
The buff's include for the 1st alliance to take a city 9X+300 pop for each members and more...These will be added to a upgraded inventory.So prepare your troops!
Alliance Heading & Then and Now Growth Rate
**Note that the heading were done for the top 11 alliance ranking for the 27th,September.

Southern Riots
oXPIgly.png
As Explained in the image,SR are moving further South.So their name states their heading.

Lightning Shadows II
G9WHA20.png
These guys are just scattered all over.No heading,nothing.The leaders seem to be randomly recruiting members from all surrounding oceans.Although they have gained quite a bit more cities in O55 during the past 2 weeks.But i have to highlight that most of the gains have been recruitments or internals.

Lightning Shadows
EkwakqI.png
Explained in the image.Apologize or not highlighting the area must have slipped my mind:/

The Scorpions
4xZvvbz.png
The scorpions during the past 2 weeks have gained more ground in O44 and pose a big threat to "Venominium".They have more than 50% of the ocean under their control although they are ranked no.2 in O44."Venominium" might be at a disadvantage also for the upcoming Persian conquest as my guess is that Artemesia's city will be situated in the center of the ocean.Meaning Veno could lose some valuable buffs.

1.Your presence in O44 has increased alot compared to what it was 2 weeks ago.Even with Venom in the ocean you guys seem to be doing okay.Your thoughts on this?
gREGORY MCDANIEL said:
I am not surprised by this, I expected it.

2.You guys are at war with Venom if i am right.How did this war begin?And how do you'll plan on seeing it through.
To be honest it looks like you guys have the upperhand on cities but still dont seem to be taking much off venom though.
gREGORY MCDANIEL said:
You are correct. Relationships change, people come and go, but I can tell you there is a core group of people in The Scorpions that know very well a core group of Venominium members, we have endured and suffered a number of slights and betrayals along the way and we discovered the better we knew them, the more our dislike for them grew. It started in Athens and as soon Thebes began they clearly shown every intention they fully intended to carry on, their ugly ways, that there would be no fresh start, ever. We respond by hanging tough and hanging together, and we are still here, still fighting three servers later.
I could tell all kinds of witty one-liners like when they enter an ocean the temperature plunges 20 degrees, but the truth lies in honor and dishonor. We believe one can play with honor and they do not, that one does not have to cheat, lie, and disgrace your very name to do well, and here again, their philosophy differs from ours. We are happy to point out at every opportunity, hey we take/took the high road, and we love to point out "Hey look who's rolling around in the mud down there." They try to convince everyone that they are better warriors, while we just show every one we are just better, period.

Games T.V Episode for this month,basically what will happen is Artemesia will join this world.Become rank 1 instantly
She will have a city in every ocean.And the alliance who conquers her city will get the reward.No matter who from the alliance takes it all the members will get the reward.Troop counts will defer according to the date of the world.So what are your thoughts on this persian conquest?

Yes, let me throw a shout out to anyone who loves to play this game, but has not found a good home yet. The Scorpions is always out looking for exceptional talent. Our team has been building and growing for around 5 years now and as our team in not yet fully built we have a few spots left to fill. We offer a team experience few are able to match. We are honest, above board people who want to win and do so without any shortcuts or trampling our friends. Interested, contact me directly. Have fun and happy gaming.

Northern Riots
1oSYFcV.png
NR has lost a few cities up North due to attacks from Epic.They have also gained a few In their territory by doing the same.In the past 2 weeks they have strengthen their core immensely,it will definitely be tough for Epic to infiltrate their core. This would mean that the NR/Epic war will go on for a long time.
1.What is your alliances heading?Meaning direction of expansion?
mjwest11 said:
Without giving too much information away, let's say we need to strengthen our core in O64/O65 in order to expand in any direction. There's a few of the top teams in the near vicinity.
Click to expand...

2.How did the war with Epic start?Do you think your alliance can win this war? what is the reason for your answer.
mjwest11 said:
While undoubtedly tfxheribert0 and team reported that Northern Riots "went behind their backs and took one of their cities", what was failed to be mentioned was that our player was only hours into their tenure with NR and was going back-n-fortfor a long while with the Epic player who lost the city (which was about 1800 or so points at the time, hardly a point of contention to start a war). There were several retaliatory strikes back at NR targets (not the city in question, and most containing CS attacks). Not the typical "refugee retaliation" one would expect. Simply put, we would not stand for it.

Can we win this war? Of course! We would not go up against someone like Epic if we did not think we had a more than a favorable chance. We've got a great mix of veterans and some highly motivated folks. In fact this group of players of ours in made up from the top members of those alliances we went head-to-head against in other worlds. Better to have them on your side than not!

3.What are your thoughts on the other wars fought by other alliances in this world.
mjwest11 said:
I personally haven't spent too much time watching things develop outside of the Northern Riots/Southern Riots arena. It's still very early in the life of Rhammus. Our brothers and sisters in SR are duking it out with the team from Evolution, so we'll keep our eyes on that. And right now that darn thing called "real life" is keeping me busy from having too much Grepo fun!

mjwest11 said:
I love the fact that the folks from Inno Games try to add new things to the game. I've been playing for over 3 years and its not getting boring! The new Persian Conquest sounds interesting, kind of a mini-WW before the real one starts! Thanks Inno Games!

5.Anything else you might want to add?Any thought or comments on anything?
mjwest11 said:
In all honestly, I've met some many folks over the last few years playing Grepo. I love the way the game is spread geographically. It's a chance to gain friends, cultural knowledge and have fun. I love the fact that the last's world's enemies are this world's teammate.

Man, reading that back, I sound like a politician!
Click to expand...
To be fair to NR as well i will give their leader soem time to tell their part of the story.Once he/she gives it to me i will add it here.

Epic

1.What is your alliances heading? Meaning what direction do you'll plan on expanding?
tfxheribert0 said:
We plan in expanding into the south of ocean 64 into Northern/Southern riots territory.
Click to expand...

2.How did the war with Northern Riots start?
tfxheribert0 said:
Ivercius went behind our backs and did an OP on our member. We later received intel that NR/SR were planning to back-stab us while we still had a pact. When a member of theirs took a city from us, we took 15 cities of theirs in one night. ...Almost reminds you of RUSE & OV’s story lol.
Click to expand...

Do you think that your alliance can win this war?what is the reason for your answer.
tfxheribert0 said:
Yes I do. The reason I believe we can win this war is because the only cities we have lost are our inactive members with the exception of 2. We a currently holding our front-lines very well and gradually but surely expanding more and more into the south near Northern riots territory.

Avernus(Note Last 3 Days Comparison)
satqQ67.png
Nothing much to say.They did not exist 2 weeks ago so I had to do a 3 day comparison. Although if you look at a map of "Toxic Movement" 2 weeks ago these guys are pretty much the same.Meaning they are the same and that their growth has being only a bit compared to TM.Heading South of O53.

Evolution
g9AoF7z.png
Heading=O56.Gained plenty cities in O56 in the past 2 weeks.Also they have gained a bit of O65 fighting "Southern Riots".

Venominium
HGmMzQY.png
Now as i stated in the above map,Veno seems to be prepping for WW's pretty early.They seem to be circling in on a core in their core.And locking it down pretty tight to start colonizing WW islands.We will know if this is true in the coming weeks.Venom Heading Unknown.
1.First Question and the most important one,Why did Your alliance start a war with OCEANS VETERANS to stop it half way?You might say this is not true but according to your stats you guys have not taken a city from them in quite a while.What is the reason for this.
The Big Bad said:
double BP. we decided tactically it was smart to not allow our enemy to get any double BP from our attacks. we have one of their towns in siege right now though.
Click to expand...

2.Now if you look at a map of your alliance you would notice a circular area which is empty.And this area is almost in the middle of all your cities not exactly in the middle but soon it will be.My guys,That area will be the area where you guys colonize to have your WW islands.Is that your strategy if not what is with the hole in the middle?

Ruse
GubqMRJ.png
Ruse has been busy strengthening their core area.These city takes have been of mostly OV's.So to sum up Ruse heading i would say towards OV.

1.You guys have seem to strengthened your core in O54.But it's unclear on where exactly you guys plan on moving to.If i have to guess i would say O64.Is it true?
If not what direction do you guys plan on heading.
Daz 2.0 said:
We are atm just chasing OV where ever they go so as long as they run in a direction we shall follow. TBH our direction is purely based on targets.
Click to expand...

2.How is the War with OCEANS VETERANS so far?
Have they put up a good fight?
Daz 2.0 said:
It wasn't the easiest fight we could have picked but we have kept losses down to a minimum and always looked to punch holes in their front line, the eviction from 55 was a big part of it and now we are pushing deeper into the OV core, there are a mixture of good and bad fighters in OV unfortunately we haven't seen many unescorted offensive sword nukes
Click to expand...

3.You guys have also seem to have halted growing in O65,any reason for this?
Daz 2.0 said:
As I said earlier mate there is only food and if it dont taste to great we tend to move on, if we ever see a genuine threat there we may venture back in.

Why are you talking like you are doing something great in this war :D

I would have loved to have met some former spies, but they don't readily advertise themselves unless they're not living in Moscow, and even then. I'm sure I've met some without realizing it.:p

You're immature and also a little kid!

I know it's a frustration losing cities to the enemies, but don't take it out on your allies! c1cb9f45a2e0974a78299c1ef20e3543.png

Nah I have a special bond with Alex (don't think perverted things).So i still don't know your role in this war?? Posting images to the external forum? Do you think i or any of us will be "angry" from that? :D This game is not for little noobs and you are 100 years too early to even compare yourself to Alex or ME.
Spying is very much a matter of habit, Smiley decided. :p
