Wel then, that top 10 has changed quite a bit actually since my last post
That post was only 17 days ago, which really isn't that long a time.
Now I wondered how the standings (especially in the top 5) changed so quickly, so I had a look.
- Our number 1 spot of today is
Big Bosss. They were 4th in the last rankings, They are top 10 (rank 7) on the combined scale today (looting + gathering totals) which is a big improvement since last time I checked the standings (19th). So they've done well there. They've also increased their points by 1.2mil(!!!) with a 104 new villages. I have taken a look at how they have achieved this, and I have to say this is from quite a few players that have been taken care of. Most of them were in FOR (the tribe that has now basically disappeared into Who?2 for a part). This means they have gone from around rank 8 on the ODA rankings to a rank 4, with an increase of around 3.5mil(!!!). That's an insane number for just half a month
This gets a high approval on my scale. Well done from these guys. I'm not sure how much resistance or quality the FOR members gave, but I have seen their ODD numbers and those are pretty high :s
A deserved rank 1 in my opinion. I now have high hopes for these guys (sorry dudes, you've kinda set a benchmark now). Let's see if someone else can triumph them

Goodtry has also jumped a bit in the rankings. Went from rank 3 with a 200k difference with Omni-Man to a rank 2 with about the same points. They have achieved this mostly by taking barbs in their western cluster of villages. To be fair: Not much to see here in case of action. BUT, they are super ahead on the combined scale. Last time they were rank 2 with a 15mil score, which they have now
more than doubled to a whopping 36mil! Rexona, as number 2, is 'only' on a 23mil. That's a massive difference. I've said I expect hard times for these guys as their account was spread out over different cluster with no real access to the rim. But I suppose that nobling barbs can get you a long way if you just loot and scavenge enough resources to build them up XD
I'd love to see these guys in action against larger opponents and see how they do then.
- Well then, the fabled
Omni-Man. A good start, first player to go over the 1mil points mark and a 200k lead over Caligula last check. At the time of writing this post they're in 3rd place with only a 2k points difference. That's 'alright' compared to the growth stats of Big Bosss and Goodtry. Still good scores though. Sadly for them, the war with MEA (I premuse) has caused them to have a bit of a slower growth. Their combined stats have also 'only' gone up to 16mil, which drops them from rank 3 to rank 6. Their ODD, however, has gone from a relatively low 2.7mil to a staggering
15.7mil. That puts them in second place, below PeepGame. I suppose that this absolute barrage from MEA is the reason their growth rate has gone done so quickly. I have however only found 2 real lost villages in the first 10 pages of conquers on their TWstats page. That is absolutely superb on their side. Well done there lads. I have no doubt they'll get that rank 2 place back anytime soon.

Caligula is, sadly for them, lagging behind a little bit. Last check they were around 100k points behind Omni-Man, which has now grown to an almost 300k difference. Where is the growth of Caligula? Last time I said I expected them to grow steadily, which they have done, but less quickly so than others. Worked their way from rank 4 to 2, to now go back to rank 4? They do have a huge rise in ODS. From 800k to 3.9mil. I suppose those troops have helped PeepGame get their insane ODD numbers. I'm guessing this is where their growth has gone to. (I'd really love to see some more war topics on this forum. Where the hell is all the propaganda, the memes?, the mess??, the madness?!?) As far as their conquers go: It looks like they have taken part in the attacks on FOR, on the same targets as Big Bosss.
- At number 5 then, we find
Innam, who has jumped 3 ranks all of a sudden. From 540k to 1.4mil points. So more than double their old score. They seem to have done this by nobling
multiple players from ~OP~ and UA, and then some barbarians. Last time I said this was their only opposition towards a rim cluster, which they seem to have picked up on
They have a 1mil ODA increase, which means they probably have taken these players out themselves mostly. Their combined stats has also risen from rank 5 to rank 3, which shows promise for a strong future. I'm gonna say we'll see these guys grow like this some more. Unless ~OP~ finds a way to counter them. Goodluck to them.
-
STATS* then has only dropped one place into 6th. They have however dropped significantly more in their combind rank. They went from rank 1 last time to rank 6 now, because they haven't improved
at all. This kinda makes me wonder where their last combined stats came from. Was it boosted from free player conquers maybe? Or do they simply lack acitvity now? It does look like they've been fighting a lot, as all 3 of their OD STATS have gone up quite a bit. Looking at their conquers it seems they have been fighting PeepGame from AD recently after clearing out the tribe
P.F.. Last post I predicted they could take a higher rank if they could continue to improve on their combined stats. This sadly hasn't happened and I suppose that also shows in their rank now. The thing they have done though, is finding a way into the rim. Maybe that's a promising start for impriving their combined stats again
-
Luthurius is still on rank 7. Steady growth all around here. All their stats apart from their ODS and amount of villages have baiscally slighty more than doubled: points, combined stats, ODA and ODD. Their account is still perfectly located for further expansion and a good setup for a strong front position vs maybe AD? Last time I said they had a strong front position vs Spirit. It looks as if they have used that and taken some of their villages. I'm not sure what NOC's relation with Farm is, but given their new members Luthurius' position on the frontline has only been strengthened with the addition of Crimson Death and Say my Name on their westflank, which was a bit of a weak point before. I think this account has the makings of a real endgame contender, wether this is vs AD or Who?
-
Weak has also dropped slightly in the rankings. Even though their points have also doubled since last time. I suppose others just grew faster than them. I have said they looted really bad, which is still very true. For a top 10 account they are still well outside the top 10 looting ranks. What I do see is that they have joined the frontlines at where FOR was located, instead of growing towards the rim. Their ODA and ODS have also increased quite a bit, which means, I suppose, they've been busy focussing on getting FOR out of the way instead of expanding hard themselves. I can admire that: A tribe member that doesn't only play for it's own wins. Still a kinda hard position to really see potential towards rim growth. Luckily they have enough smaller players in the midst of their cluster they could noble when all other options have run dry. This would also mean they can set up a really strong cluster with a frontline vs Who?/Who?2. I guess they have planned ahead a bit. I'd love to see AD and Who? clash in the future and I wonder who will come out on top out of those 2 tribes.
- Then there's
UninventiveAlias still on rank 9. Just like with Luthurius almost all their stats have about doubled. In this case it's their ODD and amount of villages that only haven't. All other stats have either doubled or more than doubled. So, steady growth all around again. It's funny to see that the 2 acounts that both have the same amount of growth (slightly more than double on almost all stats) have both stayed on the same rank, whereas all other top 10 accounts have moved around. Alias has, just like Weak, nobled towards the frontline with in this case Farm. I see a trend going on with AD's noble plans here
Luckily enough these guys have already gotten villages in the southwest rim, which means ample opportunity to expand further to that side apart from setting up a frontline. If they can get some more villages inbetween both sides and connect their cluster some more I see a potentially strong front account with enough safe to deal some dmg to Farm, and in extention, Who?. I wonder how long it will take before Luthurias and them cross eachother, since their fronts are growing towards a single point. Around 498|533. Go check it out: Whoever get's their first wins the race. Goodluck you two!
- Last and kinda least, there's
Rexona. In my last post they weren't even in the top25 players! They had just about 200k points at that time, BUT they were rank 14 on the growth rankings. This does show now as they seemingly have come out of nowhere into the top10 players currently. Their villages are located on the far east of the world and the border of Who? and both LeL and ~OP~. You can't really speak of a cluster though, as most of these are dotted all around. Fun fact: There's a 100 fields between their most north and south located village and 87 between their most west and east one. Those are insane distances to have villages randomly located in if you ask me. (Although I have seen worse numbers already) So, given their recent growth I just had to look at their conquers. Where did these villages and thus points come from. Well, sadly the first 2 pages show almost solely '
Lirl' and
Trooper99'. 2 members from Who?2 who have simply been interned. Then there's 2 pages of mostly barbarians and then on the 5th page another intern
PumpJunky93'. I mean, Rexona has a very well done 23mil on the combined stats. They're looting like crazy, but gathering a lot less. This puts them in 2nd place on those rankings currently. But if you then look at their OD stats, it's like there's none? Only 400k ODA, whereas only 1! other player from the top25 has a lower number. All the others, apart from 4, have around 1mil or higher. That's a pretty sizable difference. I feel like Rexona will fall pretty hard if there would be any real resistance. I don't think they belong even remotely in the top10 players apart from their combined stats. I surely hope for their sake they can show a bit more than interns and barbarian conquers. I suppose we might see them take on LeL, as they are the closest tribe to them.
