Tribes are settling down, the world is revolving ever so slightly less around me...
1. #Pony (note biased and I can put more insight due to being a duke and knowing the ins and outs. Therefore it's not fair to compare this rating with the others)
The spread is quite interesting, very similar to Inc. on UK14.. With a similar leadership.
The tribe has undergone changes recently and hopefully for the best. They are currently thriving with an set of new recruits and probably tonnes more applying.
Their lead is large, however the spread will surely be the tester when incomings arrive however thus far has not been an issue with prompt support and tribal help (whether it be backtiming, sniping etc) providing the member actually asks for it.
I believe the growth of Turtle Alpha speaks for its own with him growing faster than some top 20's in the last two days despite him restarting. This is due to tribal help.
#Pony are a tribe with a wide variety of opinions based on them, lot's dislike and lot's like. They have not been tested yet so it shall be interesting to see when they are in the coming weeks/months.
2.WD
This tribe has quite a few names I recognise as many of these stick with one another. They have a nice spread perhaps too tight limiting growth and no doubt limiting farming. However this may be a bonus in these early stages as they can assist easily with any task required.
Their players growths are generally average, a few far below average however I'm sure that'll change. Half their conquers are barbarians, the other half are tiny villages. This really doesn't make them seem too promising however time will tell.
I've also heard they are quick with their mouths :x
If they can maintan good tribal communication they will stick around, however without going big and sticking with the tiny nobles they will drop positions quickly.
3. Mayhem
The rim tribe of K44 it seems. Again very similar to WD with a tight spread.
Their members are growing slightly slower than WD, however with the advantage of being further on the rim this may change very soon.
Their conquers are fairly good, much better than WD.
They will surely be tested if they come to war with WD however the likelyhood of this is unknown.
If they maintain how they are, they will stick to this rank I'm sure.
4. Press
Press have a very similar spread to #Pony, in the same area. They are a much smaller tribe so this may turn interesting however we never know that until it happens.
As long as they can hold their own they won't have issues, they have a good spread for farming and growth - providing they can offer quick support they will be fine.
Their growth is also not bad, conquers have thus far been good and so I can see them rising if they are wise with how they play.
5. COOKIE
Predominantly K55. Nice hold on their controlled area's of the K and can definitely in my opinion test #Pony and Press if they felt like attacking due to heavily outnumbering in those select areas.
If they communicate well they could be rock solid.
Tribal growth starts off very well at the top, but drops to a very low growth at the bottom of their tribe suggesting they have a few stars but then a lot of deadweight.
Their conquers are bad, barbbarbarb smallvillsmallvillsmallvill, and so I can see them dropping unless they drop their deadweight and pull in better players.
