Low key top 20 tribes.

DeletedUser

Guest
I was going through the rankings and there are a few unknown (well relatively) tribes in top20.
I've been playing W3 for 4-5 months now, i just restarted again, due to bad strategy/planning on my part.
The forum is mostly a-buzz with CA, OT, Cult, IP etc. Though IP and OT don't get too much love in here :) I agree that CA, eHORDE, D*D have the biggest hold on TW.
But still there are a few other tribes which most people not really know about probably because they have few posters on the forum or probably for they want to keep a low key profile.

1. GRIGNR
2. BIA
3. LoR
4. PDM

I was wondering how the world views these tribes which are low key yet in the top 20.

BIA : small, noobish, rim tribe. We attack with sw/sp and noble only abandones. Thank you.

Rest of the tribes:

GRIGNR: Worked with some of them. They come across as professionals and capable.

PDM: Know a few of them. They are right besides BIA and have some very good players. Did a good job against OT, in fact still doing a good job.

LoR: Don't know much about them so i'll keep my trap shut.

Finally an original thread, kudos circle of life.

I am also interested in hearing about some of the outer rim tribes and their growth. Anyone know anything about M.A.P or Chaos? They arent top 20 yet but I ask about them because they seem to be strong independent non family tribes who don't seem to be part of the ridiculous Cult mass absorption that is ruining w3's outer rim progress.

Chaos seems to be going the Cult and OT way. I think they have some 6-7 sister tribes attached to the main Chaos.

M.A.P is basically k52, a continent concentration effort is being made by them from what i have seen in the last 2-3 months. Though with eHORDE on one side and BIA on the other they probably are looking to move further in the k51-ish rim which already has their academy MAP-a.

GRINGR: dont no too much about them except that there space tractors
BIA: seem to be doing pretty good but not much known
PDM: I noticed they dropped but seem to be doing fairly well
LoR: They seem to have good control of maintaining their continent

Thank you.

What i know of the 4 listed tribes:

1. PDM: Was good with OT. I've interacted with a few of their players and they seem a tightly formed tribe.

2. BIA: Probably one of the fastest rising tribes in the game especially after the MEAN war in which they owned MEAN pretty bad (TWPlus shows not a single BIA village loss to MEAN)

3. LoR: I seem to remember a diplomatic fiasco concerning them and a duke/baron of the tribe. Though i cant recall the context. They handled it pretty well though. They seem to be very aggressive.

4. GRIGNR: One of the biggest mid-rim tribes. But some of their big players have really low OD rankings. They seem to have done fairly well against KOS.

As for Chaos, i agree with siddharth, they seem to be following OT and Cult.
As for M.A.P i don't really know much about them.

BIA: Perfomed extremlly well in their war against MEAN but, that could just be due to MEANS incompetence so I'll have to wait and see about them.

GRINGR: All I know about them is that their allies and from what I've heard their a quite good tribe. We've been neck to neck with them in the rankings for a while but, right now we seem to be ahead.

Chaos: Nothing special

LOR: No clue

PDM: I haven't heard a thing about them. Their in the west aren't they?

I just briefly looked through the top 100 and it appears to be all friggin family tribes with the exception of a few elite who appear to be doing much better than their simcity family counterparts. Can anyone explain how this happened? Was it in response to the CA?

=IL=- What about these?

I wouldnt have thought so given how aggressive we have been to most of those said family tribes; I would have thought it the perfect reason not to become one ;p

You look at w2 and its even worse.... I guess as the fewer tribes get an increasingly larger proportion of the best players available the only way the others feel like they can combat this is by boosting the numbers. Cant help but think its the wrong way to go though; we still havent seen *any* family tribe convince in a war so far (not that they have been in as many, be it either by design or no fault of their own..) .

I would be interested to see either Cult or FF in a full scale war to judge what they are really capable of given those two are probably the best two proponants of the model here...

PDM: A strong tribe located to the west of the core and just to the north of eHORDE, dealt a whupping to the OT menace/nuisance. The Duke there is Big_Ben.

LoR: The offspring of the ~Dark~ revolution, which came after several bad decisions by Stronghold, recently led by Svennie and Niphyr, Niphyr has now moved to D.V. They have some very aggressive players in there and are definitely able to bite hard.

BIA: Is one of the few tribes I know nothing about. Though I wouldn't mind a new person to talk to. *hint* :icon_wink:

GRIGNR: Not had much contact with these guys either, excepting a little refugee problem involving MIO. But I do know where they are located, which is in a ring around the core, similar to OT, but a thinnner band due to them being only one tribe.

BIA- Strong tribe. They seem to be a great small family tribe. All my brother talks about is how supportive they are.

PDM- Heard they were doing good in the OT war(not sure if they are still in a war).

GRINGR- no clue

LoR- no clue

From the OT profile:

"If a diplomat does not respond within 24 hours, feel free to message another.
If a quick response is necessary, send a message to more than one."

Translation?

Translation :

We like men. Especially men in the army, we wish we could be more like them. If we do not interact with a man within 24 hours then we will melt.

back on subject now... my picks for the top low key tribes:
1. LOR - great leadership, and very strong core...well done Svennie!!!
2. D*D - though rumples and I have our outs, he has done a marvelous job of leading a 2 tribe family with such diverse backgrounds as D*PTT and D*D
3. B.I.A - quickly rising through the rankings and doing a wonderful job of staying out of the lime light... should be in the top 15 soon enough
4. PDM - perrenial top 20, always out of the limelight...
5. Gringr - still growing in strength, though thier rim like structure makes them somewhat vulnerable their long list of mighty allies makes them pretty secure.

I woudl mention CultFT in here, but as they are a sister tribe to us in Cult2... most would not view them as a low key tribe because of being cult - but they have great leadership and several very skilled members....

It seems most top 20 tribes are pretty obscure. The CA, FF, and Cult are the only ones that get any real representation. It would be interesting just to do a thread on personal opinions of the whole top 20.

I would say PDM is my favorite dark horse. They used to be ranked higher, but are still holding it together pretty well, and I have only had positive experiences with them. It wouldn't be a bad idea for them to combine PDM and PDM~2 into one tribe, they seem to have a lot of lower point players floating around.

I was in one of the chaos tribes for a while, before quitting and focusing on world four, and there are a few good players, that will go far, but other than that, nothing too special. They were at one stage a part of cult, as cult took in two or three chaos' if i rememebr correctly, but it didn't work out.
