Authentic from the Rim
1. Make Grepo Great Again- (12.3 million to 17.1 million) +4.8 million, 39% growth
They have been dominating since they strategically took down Wake Up Call and Insomnia and it seems they will only grow from here, but recent fighting with Shady Bunch and friends has slowed down their explosive growth although their still putting distance between them and number two, they have efficiently been reigned in. I expect them to grow at a much slower pace. 2nd in ABP, but now their DBP ranks them first. Based out of 44 and NE 54.
SWIM
2. Synergy- (11.8 million to 16.1 million) +4.3 million, 36% growth.
Time will tell whether they can take advantage of the war between the number one and number three alliance, they currently hold the title for ABP, but compared to Shady and MGGA they are the least hit out of the top three. They are warring with Lost Boys and True Fear. This could only lead to victory and easy growth for them. They will most likely focus on closing the gap between them and MGGA. Based out of 45 and western 55.
SWIM
3. Shady Bunch/Cartridge Family- (9.8 million to 14.1 million) +4.3 million, 44% growth.
Growing the best out of the top three, rank third in ABP and second in DBP, overall they seem to have the lead on MGGA which is impressive for an alliance that is three million points behind them. They will probably focus on kicking out MGGA out 54 successfully rather than growth. They are based in 54 and northern 55.
SWIM
4. Black Dawn- (4.2 million to 7.4 million) +3.2 million, 76% growth.
Trying to become the replacement for Co-Op, currently winning in their war against Noobs, which seems completely due to a mixture of diplomacy and skill. They seem to have ties to Twisted Souls (top player moved into their alliance) and are working with Evil Incarnate to take apart Noobs, who are now number one on the DBP charts. With this possible partnership of a combined SE they could possibly have the biggest geographic influence in the world. I see them quickly approaching the ten million mark. Based in SW and central 55.
SWIM
5. Twisted Soul- (2.3 million to 4.5 million) +2.2 million, 96% growth
Took in a substantial amount of Co-Op players in 46 and now are one of two alliances to top two oceans. If they can get a handle on both 46 and 56 and depending on whether their top member was poached by Black Dawn or moved for diplomatic reasons they may quickly hit the ten million mark.
SWIM
6. Noobs- (3.7 million to 4.1 million) +400,000, 11% growth.
It has been shown again manpower + diplomacy trumps pure skill. They have fought well and now have the highest DBP for an individual alliance. I think they will still be hard to remove just because of the density of their core but also because from previous worlds I have seen their members "never give up", and fought all the way. They can turn the war into a stalemate, based in SE 55.
FLOAT
7. Sandels Warriors- (1.9 million to 3.5 million) +1.6 million, 84% growth.
My Alliance
8. League of Free Cities- (1.7 million to 3.5 million) +1.8 million, 105% growth.
The lowest average alliance and one of the lowest in ABP, but I expect them to jump up the table tremendously due to the fact that they still have two major alliances in their ocean of 53 to fight for dominance with. Their growth has been huge, and they seem like an alliance too lookout for heading towards the future. They have made the early mistake of three academies (The last academy almost always ends up with very few players that have the possibility of moving up into the first alliance and sort of becomes a setback), but in their contested ocean a third alliance might give them an advantage of manpower.
SWIM
9. Deuces Wild- (1.8 million points to 3.4 million) +1.6 million, 89% growth.
Dominating ocean 43 and the ABP rankings, Deuces Wild also has to deal with a "contested" ocean were several small alliances are still all over the ocean. It also seems that MGGA is making a mvoe int he southern ends of their ocean leading me to believe they might find a solution to that problem,whether through war or diplomacy who knows.
SWIM
10. Evil Incarnate- (1.7 million to 3.1 million) +1.4 million, 82% growth.
The only alliance bar Noobs, not to have an academy. Based in 65. These guys are absolutely killing the growth charts for a 30 man squad and seem to be looking to replicated Twisted Souls earlier success in 65. They are currently pushing against Noobs and therefore have them flanked. I expect these guys too look north similar to how Twisted Souls looked west into a deeply divided ocean and see what they can get.
SWIM
11. Guardians of Hades- (2.2 million to 2.6 million) +400,000, 18% growth.
They have been absolutely crushed by The Shady Bunch too the point were they don't even have 5 city takes on them, comapred to 80+. They currently rule 64 but similar to 53, 35,46 it is contested between several largish alliances. They need to organize ow that shady's main focus is on MGGA and take control of 64 before more bystanders try to grab a piece of their core ocean.
FLOAT
12. True Fear- (2.3 million to 2.4 million) +100,000, 4% growth.
They could have been a top five alliance but due to internal issues they are now struggling to defend themselves from Synergy. Theya re based in southwest 45 and rapidly dissapearing but they are fighitng the strong fight. If they can organize with their arch-nemesis The Lost Boys they have a chance of at least causing a stalemate.
