Chapter 2 - 12 days of bi*ching - 88 more to come
Chapter 2 guys - a bit later than I first planned, but as I went to visit my gf for valantines things get a little delayed. Im now staying up while she is sleeping to get the next chapter out - so hopefully its worth it (I doubt it tho, but everything for you guys <3).
A LOT has happened the past days. The world has only been running for 12 days, maybe 13 by the time I get this posted - and maaaan its been a lot of drama. Not like big scale drama yet, but you know its gonna be a lot of drama this world when we at day 1 start crying about bots and cheaters in the public discord xD We have also experienced the top players starting the noble race, and top 25 have got some new names to look out for!
Like I said in the last chapter - it seems like the team are working a lot to find and punnish cheaters. The biggest news tho since last time is the ban on Lionhearts360, as most of you probably know about. The number 1 player got banned - which opens up for others to take his place. The reason for the ban i dont know, but I know it didn't take long before he was unbanned again - so they probably found out a permaban was not suitable for this case. Big drama alert: After a ban is "deleted" it is 24 hours before the player can log into his account again - but the account can be attacked during this period. While this happened his own tribe rimmed his village and nobled it. Thats what you can call a real backstabb! I did talk some with his tribe about this, and a player from that tribe has also posted their reasons in the public discord some days ago. Long story short - his says they did not like some of his playstyle / some scenrios that had occurd the previous days. Based on this they decided they wanted to take him when he couldn't defend himself. I also got the feeling they still belive he is cheating, but I personally dont feel like this is a reason worth to evaluate as the team are in a way better position to evaluate this - and when a player is unbanned he is either found not guilty or have served his punishment with the time he has been banned. Concidering their other reasons its really hard for me to decide if its fair or not fair - but on general basis I think its a bit weak and childish to take a player that cant defend himself due to these circumstances (not talking about afk players). I guess they are just a bit affraid of the player maybe? Its the smartest way to get rid of him, I will admit that. Probably the easiest way with the fewest losses. But again, a bit of a dickmove if you ask me ://
Anyway, kudos to Lionheart360 I guess for appearing so good his own tribe fears him so much they have to take on him when he is banned and cant get support due to support only limited to tribemates... On the other side, if Lionheart did something his tribemates did not aproove of I understand their actions on dismissing him and nobling him - but maybe a bit disrespect to do this when he was not able to defend himself?
On other notes: We have a new rank 1 player: No you?
Leading with over 1.5k on the 2nd place. I think he was the first player with 5 villages? Anyway - good job taking over the new rank 1, but it seems like competition is getting hard, so will be interesting to keep an eye on how your rankings change over the next days - if it changes? 
Here is the top 25 players - screen taken 15.02.2021 21:35st
I think Gooccie is the tribe with most players in the top 25 - 5 players from same tribe! Impressive. When thats said, their top player, PulsR is only rank 7 - so still not dominating quite so well yet. Other than this it seems like a lot of different tribes has at least 1 player among top 25, and important to keep in mind that the top 25 is constantly changing as this point. FrMA with 3 players, SU and ZFP with 2 players at this point. All representing tribes to look out for - Lets go have a closer look at the situation from tribes perspective:
Here is the top 25 tribes - screen taken 15.02.2021 21:40st
Gooccie on the top. SU comming in hard on 2nd place and FrMA on 3rd. LiBiH and WL following close behind. All as expected from the player rankings. Tribe rankings are close to player rankings as they indicate how many of top players are in same tribes, but in the end most players on top 25 does not mean you have most point. FrMA has more top 25 players than SU for instance - this means that SU maybe have more top 100 players than FrMA. Keeping updated on both rankings are smart. There is also several other parts of the rankings its important to keep an eye on: OD rankings and continent rankings. I will give you a very short comparison between top 10 tribes and their OD stats to give you a view on the actual situation (Stats pulled 15.02.2021 21:50st):
| 1 |
Goocci | 114.661 | ODA: 137k | ODD: 50k | Total OD rank: 3 |
| 2 |
SU | 101.071 | ODA: 107k | ODD: 16k | Total OD rank: 13 |
| 3 |
FrMa | 95.402 | ODA: 148k | ODD: 8k | Total OD rank: 6 |
| 4 |
LiBiH | 93.083 | ODA: 75k | ODD: 11k | Total OD rank: 29 |
| 5 |

Total OD rank: 81 |
As you can see none of the top10 tribes are rank 1 OD - for the facts thats the DUCK tribe which is at tribe rank 11 atm.
Another observation is how most top 10 tribes get their biggest OD from ODA stats. This is where you see how the aggressive tribes often gain the advantage, as I talked some about in chapter 1. If you end up just defending you as a player and your tribe will most likely get hurt more than the attacker.
ALso important to say that high OD often also means high losses. Black4 has managed rank 10 with almost no troops defeated - which also means almost no units lost. Maybe this tribe will come out from the dark with the biggest troopcount among all tribes and run over their next target? Or maybe they all are pointwhores? xD Time will show I guess, but their OD stats is a small joker in these stats and will be very interesting to see if they have saved their troops and will shoot up the rankings - or just keep playing it safe.
Normally I would have ended the chapter here, but since you had to wait a bit longer than expected for this chapter I will throw in a bonus section. Note that chapter 3 also might come a bit later, but Ill try to work on it to be out during the beginning of the weekend.
The continent wars are soon to be expected to take form. Its well-known that the first big wars will take place withing each continent, or in some cases on the continent boarders depending on tribe locations. Lets have a short look at each continent as they stand right now. Im just doing the top 10 tribes as tribes further down are quite small. Im not saying they wont be having any impact, but we are looking at the big league right now xD
All stats are pulled 15.02.2021 22:05st
K44
In K44 we see NSFW, the youtubers and Black4 dominate. FUBAR is a tribe ranked globally at rank 21 followed by IM at global rank 20. The reasons some tribes do not rank over others on continent rankings, while they do globally is simply that they have players in sveral continents. Like EICHEL is ranked over both NSFW and YTPM-B globally, but they dont have all their members in K44. They actually have some players in all the continents as they are located dead center on the map (black dots).
Where EICHEL will have their next war will be interesting to see as its a big chance they might get ganged on by several tribes at once. For the rest of K44 I find it most reasonable for NSFW and Black4 to ally against the youtube tribes as they are several tribes. This to make the war most fair. How the doplomacy is in this K I dont know, but I feel like the yourube tribes have the highground when it comes to picking parters as I would assume its good for anyone to ally with them atm concidering how big they are together - if everyone does not gang up against them tho? Interesting continent to whatch, but not the most intence I think.
K45
FrMa with a fair lead on the other tribes. Here we also see DUCK not having all their members in the same continent. I still think maybe FrMa and DUCK will be the main tribes fighting in this continent, where I guess they will try get some of the smaller tribes like burro and WL as allies - but they might just ally and eat the small tribes for now. In the end I suspect there will be a fight against them determaning the king of K45 - but maybe a smaller tribe at this stage are gonna climb up and surprise?
K54
K54 is maybe the continent filled with more of the higher ranked tribes? I think the comming wars in this continent might be a bit more intence than the others, as we have Goocci, ZFP and Crazy! close together - also having SU in the east and EICHEL towards the center. NBD and Roar! also comming in strong in this continent. How the diplomacy develpos here and who initiates the first war against another tribe will be interesting to see. The most interesting part is maybe to see if there will develop a 1v1v1 war against the top 3 or of 2 will gang up against 1. Also interesting to see if tribes from any of the continent boarders wil come join the war or if they are having enough fighting in other continents.
K55
Last K we see Smash domination with 2 of their tribes at rank 2 and 3. I think there are more of these smash-tribes aswell? Still, LiBiH holding the top rank in this continent. Usually quality beats quantity, but at early stages more players tends to have a more firepower than even good players can handle. And as I know little about either of these tribes I dont know if LiBiH consists of better players than Smash or not, but Smash seems to have a tiny better positioning than LiBiH if they are going at eachother soon. Maybe LiBiH will prove me wrong? I sure hope so as I dont wanna fight a 4 tribe enemy later that as grown more xD. I would recommend LiBiH to find a sdtrong ally tho to stand with them if SMash launches as them - or maybe LiBiH and Smash should just ally and go eat the other tribes? SU also have like ish 60% of their members in this continent. Im excited to see if they are gonna fight in K54, K55 or maybe just go kamikaze at both the continents?
Edit: I now see that LiBiH might also have an acadamy tribe "LIBIH2". So maybe they can keep the doplomacy within their own tribes afterall?
As there has not started any big wars yet, that I know of - its always hard to predict the exact wars comming. Hopefully some more action happens before I write chapter 3 so we can get some more action to review. But as most tribes want a lot of food to eat its fair to assume they will be looking for targets shortly. If they wanna try to go up against a bigger neighbour in the attampt to get bigger villages to eat, or if they wanna go more safe and target smaller tribes in the attampt to get villages a lower troop cost, will be inetersting to see in the comming days. Normally people like to eat easy early on, as big troop losses often results in a big setback - but as the speed is so high on this world people might just calculate that higher losses migh be worth the bigger villages they possibly get to noble.
As always I hope everyone is staying safe during the pandemic - if there is a time to play tw I would say its now xD I think we will se a lot more high-ranked account this world than previous classics - also inviting for bigger wars later on concisting of 4-6 big tribes. I think it will be a fun world, and I'll try to cover as much of the events as I can - but its always limited how much information Im able to gain.
I will most likely start sending some of you some mails in-game with some questions to help me get a better overview on the world. Somehow like a short interview. Its completely up to you to answer or not - I respect and understand if you dont want to answer. I will keep all information annonymous if you share some juicy gossip and I will open up for you to give me very general answers not going to deep into your or your tribe's situation. Im not trying to uncover very sencitive information, but if anyone feel like sharing super sencitive information (real or fake) - to start roumers, feel free. I will emphasize that the given information is from a 3rd party, so people understand everything is not 100% true, but a little gosspi and roumers always help spice up the world.
In chapter 3 you can expect me to look more into each continent - and maybe som top player interviews will start to appear aswell...?
I encourage all tribes to start wars with eachother - for the sake of the book! But the big questions we won't know for sure before we are comming out of the first round of wars - will those who went up against the bigger or the smaller tribes come out as winners? Is the higher loss of troops worth the bigger villages? Or maybe you should just stay neutral and farm barbs?
