I remember some1 making a "top 5 most succesfull fighting alliances in the past week" which was kind of interesting. So I decided to do another one.
1. Epidemic
ABP 452,455
DBP 1,001,977
Conquests 9
They are #1 this week due to them defending considerably well against attacks from multiple sides of their cluster. Looking at their abp and positive conquest count they have been able to succesfully retaliate and maintain their position.
2. Non Sunt Dii
ABP 1,175,384
DBP 271,026
Conquests 62
My own Alliance #2, only lacking 7k more overall BP to take #1 this week.
Theres little to say, we just do what we do best. Can't stop us.
PS: We would also like to be attacked every now and then, thanks.
3. The Lost Boys
ABP 498,656
DBP 494,155
Conquests 40
Looking at the stats we can conclude that their conquest ratio is decent, but I would have expected a bit more ABP gains from the #1 Alliance. They did however try to take a few cities from NSD this week and not only from Epidemic so props for that.
4. Death Before Dishonour
ABP 365,305
DBP 622,932
Conquests 29
Considering their position and them being boxed in it is good to see them have a healthy 29+ conquest count, they clearly made good use of their 20% defence buff from the grepolympics. Will be interesting to see how they fare once it runs out.
5. Nocturnos
ABP 203,168
DBP 648,613
Conquests 20
The turtle Alliance, seems like they have been hit quite a bit this week but they are known for stacking quite well due to most them being defensively built. I respect everyone their playstyle no matter how boring it might be, but it is clearly effective seeing as they have a positive conquest count and made it into the top 5 fighters this week.
Some additional thoughts: with the world wonders still 6 - 7 months off I'm dissapointed to see some of the top contenders not gaining nearly enough BP to keep the game interesting. Good job to the top 5, keep on fighting.
