Top Nine Analysis
All alliances are ranked on a 9 point scale, with 3 possible points for positioning, 3 possible points for battle points, and 3 possible points for conquers.
*Alliances will only appear in the alliance conquest table if a city loss has occurred for the alliance being reviewed.
Infectious is warring on almost all fronts, and has the highest overall ABP per member in the top nine. Their war with Project Misery Business is in full swing, and both sides have sustained losses, although Infectious appears to have the upper hand so far.
Moderated Nation is ruling 054 and taking out any alliance that stands in its way. The cities back and forth between Infectious are likely trades, as I believe these two alliances have a NAP or pact between them.
Dark Angels are dominating 056. The nearest competition, The Black Death, has lost cities 10-1 against them. They have pushed slightly into 055, and have strengthened their core in 056 immensely since last week.
Legion of Kings is moving east to 065, away from 055 and the looming threat Infectious poses. There ABP and unanswered city losses are not in their favor, but by moving away from the core to an ocean with little competition they have a strong chance of survival.
Project Misery Business is currently at war with Infectious on the 045/055 border. City have been taken on both sides, with Infectious currently leading. PMB now tops the DBP charts for Cythera.
Eclipse appears to have taken last weeks advice and found a few friends. They are looking much better this week, and their war against the Trolls is going decidedly in their favor.
Oceans Veterans appear to be working to fill the gap between their two cores. There is still very little resistance on the rim, which most likely account for their low BP stats. They have not yet lost a city to an enemy alliance.
Bunch of Trolls are taking heavy losses from The Noobs and Eclipse and have dropped from rank 6 to rank 8 in overall points. This alliance is struggling, and such heavy losses must be affecting morale. The Trolls seem not long for this world.
Aegis is yet to be tested by full scale war and the city losses they have sustained have mostly been unanswered. Their ABP and conquering stats leave a lot to be desired. They have spent the last week strengthening their core in southern 55. I suspect they will fold once an alliance sets it's sights on their territory.
Predictions
Infectious expands rapidly over the next month or two, begins to lose members, and then collapses in on itself.
Moderated Nation dominates 054 and then sets it's sights on 044.
Project Misery Business takes out Eclipse. *did not expect the PMB vs Infectious war, in light of this I doubt PMB will focus on Eclipse.
Legion of Kings and Aegis - Shield of Zeus disband in a few weeks. Bunch of trolls disbands or relocates to the rim within a month.
OCEAN VETERANS rule the southeast rim, as long as they don't get bored picking off noobs.
