IvD's Top 10
Greetings all. Hope you enjoy the read and happy to discuss. Just make sure you @me =)
OnlyFans(1) | MoreFans(5) - Swim Swim Swimming
Home of the top 2 fighters and 4 of the top 10. Coming in at our #1 spot the people who seem to be able to time 10+ attacks on the same second. Cheating? Nah.... well maybe. This article might be able to explain some of it.
Timing Guide
Located in O44, with a bit of expansion into O45, O54 they have a very healthy and deep core and have complete control over their ocean. They are free to start preparing for endgame with the leisure of knowing their backside is covered. This is a fun group to watch as they absolutely dominate the competition when they are trying.
Considering just the main alliance in this analysis:
Rank #1 ABP: More than 2x any other alliance, coming in at
5,149,744
Rank #1 DBP:
1,740,291
Considering both OF, MF
ABP:
6,965,151
DBP:
2,396,468
I am familiar with a few of their members, overall have not played against/with many of them. Do they really need a feeder or are they just padding their numbers to ward off potential attackers? As a honorary member of OF, I can say these guys have a chance of winning the world. Only time will tell. I have given them the swim rating as I don't see any sole alliance capable of putting a wall in front of them. Hereby referred to as OF.
True Bloods(2) | True Bloods 2(4) - Swim
Up next on this series is the other MRA in the world. The Bloods who are currently warring against OF. Their all-star Alb Boy sitting in the #5 fighter spot. They are obviously preparing for the WW era by completely securing their ocean, O45. They are even taking all the rocks in the ocean. It is truly a sea of brown. With the war stats displayed above considering just the main alliances they have the upper hand on OF right now. Seems like they were not prepared for the war and didn't have their front line players in place.
Main Ally Stats:
ABP: 2,394,797
DBP: 1,479,697
Considering Both:
ABP: 3,895,038
DBP: 2,642,328
This alliance is definitely a contender for the winner of the world. Especially with the simmer Leblob sitting in the #1 point spot with less than 120k BP. I heard a rumor he was attacked and messaged his attacker asking them "Not to attack me, please attack someone else". You good bro? You know that's the point of Grepolis... right?
Nocturnos (3) - Float
Finally our first non-MRA. Located on the rim of O54 with a bit of expansion into O55. I would almost call these guys simmers of the rim but recently they have showed they might be interested in beginning to fight someone.
Ally Stats:
ABP: 899,770
DBP: 398,806
Took me a while to find someone they had a war score against. That doesn't surprise me though as they have nobody in the TOP100 fighters.
Will be interesting to watch them come out of their shell. Remember there are always three sides to every coin. Heads, Tails, and don't bother flipping it. With a healthy core and a location on the rim these guys are set up for WW era. You can see some of them have ran a few oceans away to get set up waiting for those island to open. Will be interesting to watch these guys develop a little further and see what they are capable of.
Disciples of Artemis (6) | Disciples of Athena (9) - On the Verge
Right back to the MRAs. This has got to be the jumpiest gold using players I have ever played against. You can send an attack and they do not even bother checking TTs. They will instantly wisdom, desire, SS, and rage it until they hit something. There are more reports than where they spell harbor checks. With "internet problems" and refusing to support the old weathermen they make taking cities really easy.
With Artemis being their fighting ranks and Athena being their defenders it become extremely easy to neutralize their support when the heatmaps show 10-15 hours offline at a time. With the passive leadership attempting to get every alliance in O55 to merge with them is their downfall. With more inactive showing up every day their numbers are dwindling. Since combined they make up a full alliance I will consider them as one.
Ally Stats:
ABP: 3,122,627
DBP: 1,608,412
Very nice war scores, I will admit =)
If they got rid of their simmers they would be a force to be reckoned with. BBB might even consider working with them
however we like beating up on them. They practically pay O55 to do it with the sheer amount of gold they spend on resources. O55 holds 5 of the top 10 fighters, could you imagine them under 1 banner?
Black Dawn (8) - Float
The underdogs of O54, this scrappy defensive bunch is more than capable of putting up a defensive fight. They are coordinated and a well versed team, although they are smaller they should not be looked past. Picking off brown cities here and there is how these guys expand. They haven't gone to war with anyone so there are not any war stats to show.
Ally Stats:
ABP: 1,058,325
DBP: 395,296
Good leadership and clear direction, very much looking forward to watching these guys go into their first real war on the server!
Bye Bye Birs (10) - On the Verge
I will try to be unbiased in my analysis here since I am the leader of this alliance. Overall, terrible location, no real strong core and surrounded on all sides. Diplomacy was a must for this alliance. Home to the top two fighters in O55, TheZinex and IvoryDeathbender continue to take *** and kill names. A truly scrappy alliance, small team, good communication.
Ally Stats:
ABP: 1,500,327
DBP: 824,840
The only real war we have is with DoA. With DoA having 3x the numbers we have we rely heavily on our abilities to snipe and communicate. We have sunk and will continue to sink as many CSs as we can. Keep an eye on us the next few weeks, might have some surprises in store if everything continues as planned.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final thoughts, all oceans have a dominate alliance. OF has 44, TB has 45, Noc has 54, and O55 is still being fought for. Things are shaping up and it is making everyone stronger. If O55 decides to put differences aside and work together I believe O55 will house the victor of the world. I think the sheer amount of fighters in O55 under the guise of the right leadership will dominate and be an unstoppable force. Not saying the fighting will stop soon, I am saying that once the fighters get together it will be noticed by the rest of the server.

This is where I will leave this off. I hope you guys enjoyed the read and my analysis of the world. Thanks for reading, see you on the battlefield.
Respectfully,
