This was the last one made in April sometime so I`m commenting briefly what has happened since. Warning: Wall of text. Read only if you have time enough or are bored enough.
[spoil]
Here are my thoughts on top 20 as they are:
1. -A- Sitting at the top of the rankings (which they regained recently), Alpha has been here for a long time and it seems they plan on staying.
Currently at war with EGO they seem to be cracking down on mikebenji and pushing the front line into EGO's side of the court.
With an impressive war stats (505 gained,62 lost) and top ranking OD score we will see if they will be able to expand further into EGO's territory or go south into TheR's waters.
In any case they mean business and I hope they see it trough.
-A- seems gone but are actually very much alive. First went merging with SuitUp after a bit of setback and after the collapse of SuitUp are now in part Ego, part Zips bromance. Quite curious about what will happend in K54 by the time of the end game phase.
2. ZIPS Another tribe spreading like a virus into the north, ZIP boys are pushing into IAMSAM while getting jumped on by HYENAS from the back.World is waiting for retaliation after hyenas pulled a fast one on the not so active zip member.They have a good set up to expand in any direction they'd like but for now two are enough for them
Sam is dead long time ago and the small tribes in Zips main areas are no challenge or small tools. Hyenas gave quite a fight initially and after getting worn down, deleted and the vills got into Zips hands. Pend part is kinda overflow rather than an equal family part. The main branch has joined EGO fight against Suits and now recruited several SuitUp members and stretching below all the way to southeast now bordering |TheR| & |TheE|. As the former allies AoC and then Smile! & Wave! gone after the Auphan war, Zips have a larger and increasing border to Auphan at east and both sides are now eating the remainings of Smile! & Wave!. With |TheR| eating the same area as well, that part may get tangled and skirmishes may occur soon enough unless any agreement about what is to eat by whom gets in order.
There has been minor caps from WEEEE! earlier and a few made recently. Next major move towards any established tribe remains to see.
3. SuitUp One of the coolest premade brotribes Suitup is in internal turmoil.With a large part of their leadership team gone everyone is waiting to see how will they bounce back after some of it's core members departed.
With no updates on
Undead Billy Mays's blog most people think that the burden of leadership fell upon him to patch things up and reorganize his tribe into a monster we all knew.
SuitUp name is still there with a few accs left. Although its original leadership gone due internal issues and most of the original tribe members accounts are gone quite a while ago. The ones who inhereted the tribe joined later on even tho they are considered as Suit remainings (I am thinking Smoke). The politics and diplomacy got the tribe to a long term top spot. The merge with Alpha F. made them an offical family and regardless the good amount of groundgaining and accomplishents, several experienced and individually skilled players this tribe has not really won any major war. Remains only ashes now.
4. |TheR|Reforemed Yawn! with a large boost from former all4-1 members seem to have made the world hate them even tho they claim to be the ones wronged in the tearing appart of all4-1 family, with undying hatred for Carpet they have declared on -A- familly, but other then internal and barb nobling I don't see the progress they are making against their newfound enemy or it might be that I am missing something (maybe they are taking their farms away in hopes that it will slow down their war machinery)
|TheR| F. has taken over most of the former xD and jotad territory by first recruiting from xD, toke the opportunity and went for jotad (well played). Has still GH and WEEEE! as bordermates but Carpet is still there (even tho it ain`t as shiny as before -rank 1 at one point) now in Zips and even EGO found their way to the border by recruitment. Auphan is at north and |TheR| may have to think things through strategically and do their next move wisely for their own sake. Too early for chest beating :icon_wink:
5. EGO Well if this game allowed for pornographic content, this tribe would be a star as it's currently being the victim of a tribebang, but against all hopes they are holding their ground and giving hope to all those that get surrounded by man with bad intentions.
With so ever arrogant
ChocoEgo this tribe is battling on all sides, while official enemies face only half of those.
And with the defensive beast that is
njc3 they continue to taunt and make fun of their enemies as they make them look as a laughing stock on these external forums with their defensive nukes and sup par noble trains.
PMS long gone, some went to DoDo, some quit. Alpha got a set back and joined Suit and Suit itself is now gone. After being at war agaist a larger group having to fend, I guess EGO has now the initiative to go on offense and make up for the stall. The allience with Zips have paid off and the south is now open for both warfare and recruitment. Smoke has been mentioned as remainings of Suit so heading for a clash there? I am sure there are as usual a couple of accounts in EGO lining up nobles while looking passive and remaining quiet (a bit busy at W65 perhaps too).
As I have seen the progress, neither DoDo or KOC/BOC F. are interested in warring EGO. Can`t see any of them remain as tribe as DoDo is simply not strong enough and my pure assumption is DoDo may not last too long and some of the members may end up in other tribes (I am betting on Evocablepanic eventually ending up with EGO).
KOC is gonna be cut off and left at side not having enough ground to gain on their own. Sorry but in my opinion, you joined too late and if you actually play to win a world, you will eventually have to fight EGO which may probably happen when EGO chooses or you will end up like GH or EXT. Unless there are not any agreements made behind the scene.
6. Wave! Not much is known about this tribe on this side of the world but from what twstats say to me is that they are bound for a war with AoC who seem to have taken advantage of an isolated player that has gone inactive an nobbled him out withing hours ( or maybe that was a part of some deal about which we have no information ) , they stats show that they are currently dealing with their other inactive members ,which could mean they are regrouping and preparing for war, only time will tell.
Wave! have waved their goodbye and gone after jumping into the Auphan war and covering for AoC.
7. AoC Northen neighbour of previously mentioned tribe these guys are also dealing with inactive members and by the looks of it they are only 4, and most probably sat, since they have no rise in ODD (well all but
Kuntastrophe).
With a little chaotic set up of their tribe they seem to be expanding into K35 and 36 while continuing to strengthen their main K25 that is infested with too many barbarian villages.
They seem to have a diplomatic relationship with IAMSAM and ZIPS while the ones with wave,panic and auphan might get a little worse over their recent op against certain people in k36.
AoC lost heavily against Auphan and the remainings went over to Smile! and Wave! now both gone after the Auphan war.
8. jotad As far as I heard these are all fighters, currently doing a clean up of their K, they are basically a rim tribe with a possibility to spread out into the wast rim area or push into the core against more decent opponents they have a lot of possibilities.
jotad naturally went for xD but after initial success, it backfired as xD remainings went to |TheR| F. and jotad couldn`t hold against the counter offense, lost the whole ground they gained and the remaining jotad got apart by |TheR| F. by recruitment.
Worth mentioning is Tavka is still fighting on his own even thoe it is a loosing battle. Kudos.
9. Auphan Gaining their top 20 status with recruitment they are yet to be tested, another rim tribe joins the list.
While most of their members are inactive others seem to be trying to get as much as they can from the remnants of the fallen one-p family.
Auphan has proven themselves as a well coordinated and offensive tribe. Some former Panic recruits seems to have found themselves at home and the tribe has done well in their wars. Now collecting the remainings from AoC, Smile! & Wave! (fought Punch! as well at one point who are now gone as well).
The West is Zips, the South is |TheR|, backline quite is occupied with smaller tribes like Falcon, FSM, Others and Saucer. Much to secure, much to prepare and not much of a room to catch breath.
10. Panic! Tucked in between AoC and Auphan they will probably try to patch the 2 huge clusters from K37 and K26 as they are rooting out all of the minor tribes and stand alone players.
AoC had some initial progress against Panic! who kept the losses low and went over to Auphan before countering. Tribe itself is gone but several members are continuing in Auphan.
11. PMS Bearing the name of an event that makes every man shiver, with tribe resembles that stadium as you never know what will they do! Recently declared on EGO they had a minor flunk with the initial OP they will probably drag out their war into a stalemate considering the fact that they have 6-7 inactive members that need to be dealt with.
PMS recruited from some smaller tribes around them sided Suits and joined the fight against EGO. There was some progress in EGOs more isolated areas but otherwise, they got nowhere and my guess is not making any progress a longer period while some leadership quitting and activity decrease towards EGO (who to be fair was more occupied at the Alpha front than PMS front) caused the remainings of PMS going over to DoDo.
12. ~R3N~ Well this core tribe finds itself stuck with -A- on one and |Ther| on the other side while having their fresh recruits eaten by the same tribes, they are getting quite a lot of people stepping on their toes,the question is how long will they take it and decide to let the hell break lose as they go to war with their brother tribes.
Some went to WEEEE!, some quit. Almost gone. Not much more to say.
13. Punch! While their upper ranking brothers tribe is securing it's grounds these guys are still giving it to the left overs of one-p family. Even tho they are giving up their own members to further boost rankings of their brother tribe these guys are catching up to them in a steady pace.
The fighting part of the three part brotherhood which went joining the Auphan war a while. Partially eaten by surrounding tribes as |TheR| F., some went to |TheR| and WEEEE!, some quit and the tribe is now gone.
14. |TheE| Since all4-1 had way to many members to fit into one tribe we see similar situation with this one, but will they stick with their main or will they split due to leadership dragging them into a open conflict, my guess is that they will stick to what they now.
Read |TheR|.
15. GH Even tho their name makes them one of my favorites not much is know about this little tribe, In the midst of |TheR| fam (who is about to be ran over by a various number of tribes (general opinion)) will they jump on the bandwagon or will they find some other direction in which will they expand. I personally expect them to only use LC,MA and HC and if I see a report of them building barracks I will be deeply disappointed
Lots of: allying, much internalling, much eating small tribes around slowly and not much else to say - yet. Was once close to Suits who are gone nowadays so siding |TheR|? Fighting anyone or getting recruited and gone as well?
16. HYENAS Another tribe that shows how much teamwork means, they wiped out a guy in their declaration days, even tho he was inactive he wouldn't be able to do much even if he was!Set into the middle of everything some would say that they are surrounded from all sides but I see it as they can attack in every direction.Currently warring ZIPS after they had a run in with Burn, will these "small" guys be able to crush another mountain?
After winning against Burn F., they did what they were supposed to, fought as much as they could against a much larger and not unskilled bunch (ZIPS). Not sure if they received any support from outside but still, a loosing battle long term which resulted a mass deletion.
17. One-p One of the tribes using defensive tactics of tuna or zebras these guys fell apart still not as fast as all4-1, still holding up on k35 and 24 they are getting hammered on all sides. Even some say they "had or have" few good members I would rim them all just to teach them a lesson in recognizing a rotten tribe when they join one.
The main tribe is still there as a tiny such. Got gangbanged by all surrounding tribes and those are not few (although some jumped in occationally, Auphan is the main tribe doing the main damage and Wave! eating the most). Still, not displayed much skill of teamwork either which got them as target in the first place.
18. xD Because internaling never hurt anyone , this rim tribe is preparing to be put to the test.Will that test be time or some other tribe we will find out soon enough.
They got tested and tbh, couldn`t put much of a fight against jotad. Several went to |TheR| & |TheE|. Not completely gone, the remainings are now at rank 33..
19. ToRe The youngest of top 20 tribes it seems these guys mean business and as I am sure guys over at
DoD know that as well since they are being Torn apart by this tribe over the course of last few days.Sitting close to the rim leaves them with the option of going both ways but as most people do I expect them to take the path of least resistance which is outwards.
..sorry but I have no knowledge of this tribe and if anyone wanna fill in, please be my guest.
20. WEEEE! Brothers in arms with renegades and fellas that commit random acts of violence ,w66's autoupdating map is showing them as the main tribe in that brotherhood. If they are the ringleaders it would make sence that other tribes give up their members to boost their rating but that seems not to be the case, which could be attributed to them not being pointwhores. These guys don't make enemies they just take what they want without making a lot of noise about it or dragging too much unwanted attention.
WEEEE! are still around. Rank 7 about 16 mil. The Brother tribes are kinda gone and there is still not much else to say. Once upon a time, they warred a bit and established themselves and since then not much else. Considering the internalling rate, I would suggest they change their name to Cannibals instead of Cow Tippers and I am not trying to be funny.
Smoke is new and not listed here either and I have not enough knowledge or opinion about them so feel free to fill in here as well. Also, this is just a comment/update to what once was and not a new top 20 evaluation. If I made any error, missed something or anyone felt insulted; sorry.
Thanks.
