INTRODUCTION
I thought it is time to put some more life into W91 externals. I have seen some quiet worlds in the past but never imagined W91 would be so quiet having the decent number of great players/personalities around.
From experience reviewing top tribes sparks a good discussion especially that diplomatic relations are already formed between many tribes. It was a success on W90 so I hope you will react to it in a similar fashion. The only think I don't want to see is a dead forum.
My reviews will be based mostly on game stats, maps and information gathered from players (if available) and interviews with the leadership. I will try to release reviews for one tribe once a week but exact timing will depend on my work/life schedule but also how quickly the dukes will be responding to my questions. I would really appreciate if all top dukes participated. it will make the reviews so much more real.
As usual I would like to start with a little comparison of the tribes I am planing to review including CORP, SAGA, BeCool, Apathy and Edu.
I have a little issue with reviewing my own tribe (Apathy) so if there is someone willing to help me out on that one please let me know in game or through the forum. Otherwise I will skip reviewing Apathy and will focus on another tribe Invict or FIRM.
Now just to explain, I have picked EDU over FIRM as I feel EDU's point per player average is indicating they deserve the top 5 spot of the ranking and they would have it if they decided to recruit additional 10 members.

Looking at our first table we can see a huge point difference between CORP and the rest of the pack. The tribe has been in the lead since the beginning and there are no signs of them slowing down. On the opposite side of the spectrum we have EDU. who are focusing on smaller group of members. But their points per player average is much higher than average of all other tribes not mentioned here that are on top 10.
One noticeable statistic is a high number of tribal changes for BeCool. I thought they are not a premade and 135 changes might confirm my speculation. It is nothing wrong with it just simply show that they had to go through a lot more members to get the right roster.
When comparing the total gains CORP and SAGA are in the lead however both tribes have nobled 17 barbs each. Apathy is at 15 but it would be 10 if not for a noob One Last Goodbye who nobles only barbs.
CORP has already internalled 2 players while loosing 1 village early on. SAGA has lost and internalled one village while EDU had 5 internals with 2 losses.
Looking at farming we can see that BeCool is outclassing everyone at the moment. They have 11 members in top 100 of daily farmers with half of them being above 300k per day. Gran Torino has been unbelievable recently farming nearly 1.5kk on his own. On the other hand SAGA has been the weakest having farmed only 2.7kk per first 100 players listed.
CORP also shows decent farming, it is at the moment the most complete tribe.
After yesterday's performance by Gran Torino I decided to ask him few questions and he was kind enough to answer them in a very speedy manner.

*GranTorino thank you for taking part in the interview. I was planning to talk to the four dukes of tribes I am about to review but after your farming performance yesterday I could not resist to talk to you first.
Could you tell our audience a little bit about yourself mentioning your TW experience, any worlds you have won or great tribes you have played over the years?
I'm a relatively new player. I've messed about with TW over the years but never played any worlds seriously up until UK23 where I met my co player Kris. We're both primarily .UK players. While we were waiting for UK30 to begin we thought we'd kill some time over here.. We ended up getting carried away a bit, and to top it off with David Ruffin, looks like we're here to stay now!
I've never won a real time world before. I've had plenty of opportunities to switch to the winning side, at various points in worlds, but pride has always gotten in the way of me doing so.
Going straight to the point, how the hell did you farm 1.4kk yesterday? A lot of people including myself were pushing farming hard after the break but somehow you have outclassed us all? Could you talk a bit about your strategy or is it a secret? Is it based on activity, good farming area, amount of LC or all of the above?
There are particular tweaks I've made in my farming strategy I wouldn't really like to air in to public. (Sorry!) Other than that, Its a bit of a combination between having a relatively nice area for farming, and using my troops as efficiently as possible in finding the balance between barb and player farming.One thing I will say is farms don't find themselves. You want to beat your records? You need to go the distance. (No, I don't sit in front of the screen for 24 hours a day - seriously !)
Now moving on to your tribe, is BeCool a premade? The spread indicates you have been recruiting in game rather than starting all at once?How did you end up in that tribe and do you hold any leadership functions?
Like I said before, we joined here initially for a bit of fun while waiting for UK30, We don't know any players from the server so couldn't tell you for sure if BeCool started as a premade, though I'm pretty sure it didn't. They seemed the best option of team to join that was close. The tribe is well run. Lesser experienced players are looking for guidance and learning quickly, and as a team we seem to be working relatively well together. We will see how it goes as the world progresses. I hold no official leadership functions. Less stress ! : )
What do you think about W91 so far? We can see CORP dominating the rankings. What do you think about that tribe and your tribe chances of catching up and competing with CORP in late game?
W91 has been interesting so far to say the least. Over on the .UK server there is a player called Linukas who everybody knows will be #1 for the first few weeks of every world due to PP expenditure in the exchange, but I've never seen anything like the PP spends and real $$$ spending as I've witnessed on EN91, and hope I never will again. As the saying goes though - Don't hate the player, hate the game !
I feel like CORP is going to be here long term. The boost that a number of their members have secured with those resource packages so early is too much for anybody to contest. I think they will make diplomacy with SAGA and push west for an easier ride.
All I can say is I hope the players in BeCool will work as well as they have done recently in skirmishes when time comes for a real battle! As far as catching up on the rankings goes, we'll need another couple of months at least I'd have thought, same for the rest of the world
