Welcome
Welcome to Issue 4 of NuNews. This issue we will be taking a look at the 2.0 update which will be coming in Feb and we also take a look at latest stats to see how the top alliances are fairing. We also have Aunty Sapphie back answering all those troubling questions you may have.
Not Another Disband?
It seems world Nu is the world for disbands. Everytime I write an issue it seems someone is being disbanded... Will people not learn? This time is was the turn of Shadow Titans U.A.N. This latest disband is again down to the Shadows Fall leadership, who have stated anyone with the shadows name is at risk. They again managed to get someone on the inside by the name of curly123, who interestingly has not gone on to join Shadows Fall. Was he just used and disposed of? Or is he in fact on another mission? With SF leaders claiming to have spies in most the top alliances it just seems a matter of time before someone else falls from grace.
(SW)War War War(SW)
Who is actually at war? Well if we go on the milestones 5 conquers from each side is classed as a mini war. I checked out grepostats and compared some of the top alliances. With a lot of ghost town gains or conquers from small alliances I had a look at who had lost cities in the top 8.
Byzantine Empire - 0
Not lost a single city and top the points ranking. Conquered a Shadows Fall city too.
Shadows Fall - 4
Lost 3 cities now to Mutzzies Killers to go with the 1 loss to Byzantine Empire
Zombie Elite Pirates - 2
One to Shadows Fall, One to Muttzies Killers
The Great Empire -U.A.N- - 1
One to Shadows Fall
O.R.C. - 0
None
The 13th Legion - 0
None
Byzantine Acad-Sacred - 4
2 being from Shadows Fall. Academy alliance for Byzantine Empire
The Union of Elite - 2
One to 13th Legion
It is worth noting that despite Shadows Fall losing 4 cities they have in fact taken 3x more cities than any of the other top ranked alliances. A special mention should also go to Mutzzies Killers. These guys have been taking on the top ranked alliances taking cities from 2 of the top 3 alliances. As for actual wars we only have two which are developing.
Shadows Fall V Byzantine Empire
With the academy alliance being taken into account it stands at 2-1 to Shadows Fall.
Shadows Fall v Mutzzies Killers
Shadows have a battle on with this small group of players. Currently 3-1 in the favour of Mutzzies.
These two could be the ones to watch for. Other than that any shouts of war declarations are still just hot air at the moment.
(Res)2.0 Update(Res)
With testing for the new update well under way, it looks like it could be hitting us by the time the next issue of NuNews is released. I thought it would be good to take a look at some of the screenshots of the new update and see if we can get some insight into what we can expect. All screenshots were taken from the beta forums.
One of the biggest updates in 2.0 will be world wonders. Any worries about alliances quickly gaining one of these are gone. A world will have to be open NINE months before these can even start to be constructed. We then have no idea how long these wonders will take to build. With forward planning key though, have any of the alliances already secured islands in preparation?
Hades will also be added to the list of gods. It is unknown if it will be here when the update is released though.
The layout is also totally revamped. It looks like it will be full screen and be layered with multiple windows.
So there was a little taster for you, the graphics look improved and I am very excited to see how prepared alliances are for the changes. Special thanks to darkkiller most of the pics were copied from your postings. Also expect a little chaos as bugs appear. Despite the testing it's inevitable that a few will come to light as it is released to the masses.
