It's early days in a small world, but it would be interesting to hear what folks' perceptions are of the top ten tribes as they evolve.
Top ten: 27/3/15
1: IBF
Dominating a good quarter of the world in the South East, IBF have Steadily built up to secure the #1 spot. With 7 of the top 20 accounts in their number, there is clearly a good pool of talent. Currently, with their front line with Spread being over 2 k's it will be interesting to see how the next few weeks go. The 'forever' conquer stats give IBF a 76-10 lead on Spread, although the last week it has settled down to a fairly even 4-3, with IBF nobling other targets and growing faster by 450k of points by conquest. Their war stats come out ok with a respectable 6.6 ratio.
2: Spread
For the most part, Ted as was. Ted emerged as early day leaders of the pack, holding the #1 spot for a very long time. Spread are still hanging onto the #2 spot - but with their 7 players in the top 20 and the second highest account point average in the world, successfully filling the vacancies in their tribe will see them at the top once more. Dominating the prestigious 'core' of the world is always good for ego, and Spread have only really been troubled by IBF. However, as their reputation for indestructibility fades, they are finding themselves with a 270 degree frontline spanning 7 k's. Their compact expansion and clustering gives them resilience though - and anyone having a go may find it very slow progress. Their war stats are not impressive, though - scraping a 3.3 ratio
3: Rat Pack
Traditionally, one does not comment on one's own or sister tribe, so I will stick with the basics. The third tribe to meet at the centre of the world, and another tribe that has risen steadily to the podium. No top 20 accounts yet, but steady growth (1.5 million points last week) and strong warfighting will see it happen. Dominating a big chunk of the West and indulging in war with enthusiasm, their war stats come in at a very respectable 13.4 ratio
4: TLS!!
Concentrated in K46 and with their frontlines being Spread and IBF, one has to wonder where their future expansion might be. However, steady growth again sees TLS!! in the top 4. Sadly under-represented in the externals, there seems little evidence of organised conflict, with most of their recent gains being the tribeless. Very recently, losses have been made to Up. A one-sided conflict which does not bode well for their future. Their war stats weigh in at a ratio of 3, but are misleading as they include only three villages. Their ODA is fine though.
5: 7 Up
The astonishing and somewhat scary splinter from Ted. Also meeting at the Centre, this recent creation has taken the #5 spot with only 6 players. 4 of those are in the top 20 and their average account size tells the rest of the story, being the highest in the world. Because of their origins, they are wedged in next to Ted with the Rat Pack and Rat Trap to their West. I have commented before that it is so unusual for so few players to have such an impact on a world in such a short time. The arrival of Up reset the dynamics of the Core immediately. Untroubled by anyone and with plenty of scope to expand North before choosing a second direction, I have no doubt that Up present a brick wall for the unwary to bang their head against. Well represented in the externals and clearly competent, many will watch what they do with interest. And possibly alarm. No real war stats yet - but as they were only formed less than three weeks ago, that is understandable. Individual players' ODA's are perfectly good.
6: Rat Trap
There's a big leap in size from the #5 spot to the #6. My own tribe, so I will rein in my enthusiasm. Pretty much the same applies here as to Rat Pack as they are simply two parts of a whole. One account in the top 20 and the highest war stats ratio of the top 10 - coming in at 14.1. This is in no small part down to the longstanding war with assorted !TWZ! operations and the instant collapse of opponents in rim wars.
7: !TWZ!
The lead tribe of a collective that used to include the sisters TWZ2, TWZ3 and TWZ4. Imploded under attacks from the Rats, with only TWZ and TWZ3 remaining; TWZ4 renaming and consisting of a single village. Doubtless damaged by the defection of major accounts to Ted (including their leader, Darth Doom), which is a hugely demoralising blow. Many predicted the fall of TWZ; historically, mass-recruiting families are not 'end of world' survivors. War stats are plain embarrassing with a ratio of 0.2. Surrounded by Rats, IBF and Spread, the future could not look worse. The last two weeks have seen a surge in internals and barb-munching; exceptional for a tribe that has generally grown that way.
8: Starks
Most of the House Stark occupies a little patch which can only be described as 'perilous' - surrounded by Spread and 7Up entirely. Existing on a diet that is almost exclusively Barb, it looks like they are just building pretty villages for someone else to take. Little sign of them on the externals and probably nobody will notice when they get swallowed up. A lamentable ODA and no war stats.
9: !TWZ3!
Everything said about TWZ applies to them too, with a notable exception. Unlike their big sister, they have tried to put up a fight. Barb-munching and turtling like fury, their future looks no better, though. The abysmal war stats ratio of 0.3 is not the worse in the top ten. That award goes to their bigger sister.
10: RIS
What, pray, is a 'Rebelition'? The Rising lurk in K35 in the North East, where one can only describe them as having nowhere to advance and every reason for others to expand through. Small scuffles with ITM and HireMe have added flavour to their barb - e - queue. Their tribal ODA is about to be overtaken by 7Up after less than three weeks of attacks, and their war stats ratio is unlisted - and therefore worse than their (supposed) sister RSN.
The opinions are my own, and they are correct - insofar as only I know my opinion. What's yours?
