1 To Be Determined - swim, top abps, their players are leading in a variety of categories, very strong and solid core. Only problem is their entire core is on a front with people who wouldn't mind to see them losing. Can either mean excellent bps for their players or their eventual downfall. I'll choose the former and hope for the latter
2 Argentum Contego - Swim, Super solid core holding the line against TBD, I hear that other alliances are taking cracks at them which can prove difficult, But I believe they will hold up. Some flakes sprinkled all throughout the oceans means they can reach practically anywhere (maybe besides ocean 69, still confused about that ) But at the same time, it could just be difficult to protect and just be good cities for other alliances who are interested.
3 Jossys Giants - Swim, Again, their core looks solid, maybe about to overtake Argentum Contego for 2nd spot on Attack rating. Looks like it will be easy for them to do what they want for now.
4 Legion of Death - Float, they have some heavy contenders... but for the most part LOD+LOH look likes an MRA with tons of noobs scattered all around the alliance... an alliance that wants can just take their cities by the looks of it. But given their location in 56/65 it's hard to reach for the real alliances to take their cities, so they are decently safe outside of the main core of the world (55).
5 Argentum Gladius - I consider it the same as Argentum Contego, so read that
6 KOD. - float, to maybe swim - 3rd fighters thanks to their lead in the Defensive rankings, leads me to believe that they were really taking a beating, but now it seems they took the upper-hand on Argentum with some recent conquests, they are kind of in Argentums butt... so taking cities next door isn't too difficult, should be interesting to see what they do, they can really sway things at the moment in 54 I believe.
7 APOCALYPSE - Swim, incredibly strong looking core in north-western 56, and 56 looks to now be an Apocalypse zone. Based on some grepointel research, they dominated OMEGA with great ABP rankings, and they look to be taking islands over quite systematically and organized. To be honest I never paid them any attention until a few days ago, and it kind of looks scary how organized they look
Should be fun to see how they play out the next few months.
8 Bouclier - Swim, I just found out Bouclier rhymes with Key... hence that profile picture , shabam. Not gonna lie, the alliance spread looks really weird across the oceans, but it looks like they are tightening up a bit, and getting lots of bps, a strong fighting alliance that has a good opportunity to make it's footprint on Baris I believe.
9 War Machines - float - core looks sloppy, pretty good in eastern 55, should be able to feed off the alliance in 56/65 like LOD/LOH and similiar alliances... depends on how well they can hold up on the defensive end of things, but they need to put more pressure.
10 Dynasty Veterans - sink - idk what to say about this alliance really, their name seems terrible, their bps are sub-par, and they look to be inundated by real alliances. I guess they have a good grouping in south eastern 44, so I'll give them that.
11 Anastasis of Neb - sink - they've been losing cities left and right, I feel bad for people who stay in that alliance, it's just a nice little menu to provide the real alliances with cities.
12 Rational - sink - apparently their core is in north eastern 55, on-top of War Machines and sandwiched with 56/65 alliances... nothing notable or impressive about this alliance whatsoever, I'd just assume they are easy cities to take when someone wants.
Did my best team. Hope you enjoy my top 12.
