Welcome back to another iteration of my newsflash!
The world as it currently is in terms of the largest tribes:
The South-West
I don't wanna waste too much time on this quadrant, it really just looks like my cat threw up all over the SW.
There's one interesting rim tribe however, ID (and their two family tribes because this is 117 ofc). They've been hostile with NUKE/DRAGON family since before the holiday breaks yet there seems to be very little progress from them on nobling out ID. I guess they're just too occupied nobling barbs in the rim away from ID, to hit them with a proper op.
Then again, not sure what to expect from this coalition when they attempt to force internal a 50 village player in their core, set solid land time for their op, and only capped 7/50 on that op time xD
The North-West
TU has definitely been making progress in this part of the world. Between 30/12 - 06/01 -TU- family recruited 6 LEGEND members but unlike Boom, LEGEND did not fall apart immediately after. What followed was a somewhat large tribe op of TU on LEGEND which had a decent amount of success.
They continued capping a lot of villages in the days to follow and when they finally slowed down a bit, they followed it up with another op to once again break open the frontline for more caps.
This is something I'm very happy to see and I'm very curious about how this tribe will develop itself over the time to come.
The war stats for this war look as follows:
An interesting thing to note is the cap of Coorsliteplz from the VOD+ tribe at the same land time as TU. VOD is a tribe (4 tribe family because why not) that controls K34, directly north of the direction in which TU is headed. The involvement of one of their members in this op leads me to believe that TU has been in touch with a few of their members and likely offered some of them some spots in the TU family after LEGEND is dealt with and they move on to nobling VOD.
TTS seems to be in a little bit of a pickle, bordered by DRAGON in the south who they're not gonna be warring solo leaves either K33 or Dow to expand into. The fact that Dow has a cluster in the middle of TTS would have me assume that a war between TTS and Dow is coming in the near future, especially because they have had hostilities in the past. Apart from that, VOD seems to be hostile towards Dow as well and I don't believe the NAP with TU will hold up after TU are done with Legend so Dow just seems very doomed in the long run.
The North-East
A very interesting continent with 5 different families having an influence in this quadrant. Due to the early recruitment of the large BOT players by BIO and abundant barb nobling to back it up, it seems to have been a successful move mostly securing K46 for them to noble.
There's NUP in the core, a full 4 tribe family, who really don't seem to be doing much at all honestly. Besides not showing any real known or experienced players, they also show barely any caps or losses to any major tribes apart from DIA. Probably surrounded by diplo for the short term and will be crushed by whoever decent declared on them.
SUSA is a tribe of Swedes caught in between NUP and BOT. By the looks of caps on losses, they seem to be neutral with most other major tribes in the area just like NUP. They aren't the best players but at least decent and I'd definitely rate them higher than NUP.
BOT's an interesting tribe, expected to fall apart when their largest members backstabbed them and joined BIO, somehow they regrouped and actually started attacking these old members. The last week has been relatively quiet for them with the focus being on nobling barbs, they've actually been doing surprisingly well while fighting both BIO and Retina.
Really curious how this tribe develops itself and if they will continue to surprise me.
At last, there's Retina/Cornea who control the northern rim of this quadrant. Some of their members have been doing decently well and that's lead to both TU and BIO attempting to poach their members. Seems to be a logical choice for TU but definitely a reach for BIO in an attempt to recruit their way to control half the world sooner rather than later. It's funny to see that both tribes have the impression that the same member agreed to join them so this conflict of recruitment will definitely lead to strife between TU and BIO down the line.
The South-East
Obviously, a quadrant controlled by BIO even though it being in a disappointing way. Originally facing three rim tribes: USA, Cheems, and K65, they've dismantled every single one by recruitment. USA obviously joined back in its entirety, Cheems however was a bit of a sad story.
As you can see the largest members joined the BIO family on the 8th:
The duke, who was the second-largest member at the time, remained in Cheems and went down with the ship.
This recruitment was done after a small (or unsuccessful) op on Cheems
Would have liked to see something closer to the effort of TU, but I guess it's better than what followed.
An Op where a hard landing time was set, but clearly it's just all over the place.
Then there was K65, the tribe in the southern rim of which certain members were invited to BIO4.
Bluenile went to the council to complain about this move and was supposedly told that this wasn't actually agreed to by all of the council yet and was done by the person who had recruitment rights in BIO4. This is why BIO A was created, to move over the players of value from BIO4 and internal those who remained in BIO4.
The funny thing however, these K65 players who were recruited were also moved to the BIO A tribe.
It seems the recruitment hasn't crumbled K65 enough so 2 days ago they recruited Shurtagal, who got basically rimmed by Bluenile (a BIO member) earlier this world.
I really don't understand this recruitment, I really don, someone explain, please.
BIO declared on DIA, in a quite lame declaration here on the externals: Link
I genuinely believed Wildwang was no more than a troll but he seems to be BIO leadership which again is confirmed by him flaunting having spies in everyone's face.
I hoped to see a good op to start of the war, I mean the declared it on the externals, however I was disappointed once again.
Just some random nobling with nothing that seems coordinated, hope the near future proves me wrong but my hopes ain't up for this one.
Lastly, there's been the Trouble Maker situation, a BIO member on the front with Nocturne, a Nuke member. BIO has been having issues with commands getting leaked etc so they're convinced there's a spy among them. Leadership suspected Trouble Maker for some reason, but when he lost 2 villages to Nocturne despite having prestacks they were convinced he was the spy so they started mapping out his villages etc. He got wind of this and tried to find out what was going on and this is when he got kicked from the BIO discord. Being disappointed by his tribe he left BIO and they withdrew stacks after which Nocturne started launching more attacks at him. Eventually, they made a deal where he'd gift his core cluster to Nocturne and he'd get a spot in Nuke in return.
BIO leadership have used Trouble Maker leaving BIO himself and joining Nuke afterwards as a confirmation to their members to show they were right about him being a spy but look at the facts. Would Nuke/Dragon noble out their spy before the war with BIO has even started? Did Trouble Maker have any reason to not leave BIO and find a different tribe to continue to play a world he invested in after he was told BIO leadership was convinced he was the spy and was kicked from their discord?
