Have never done a top 12 but tired of seeing the same 5 people posts over and over again so here you go:
Top Tier:
1. We Don't Mind / What they Said: Swim. In a great position right now, strongest alliance in the world and have an academy that could stand alone and be just fine. (Academy / sister whatever) Statistically the best alliance and at this point no real threats to it. The only threat is that the other alliances decided to go after the big boys, if that doesn't happen they backstroke to a crown.
2. Eviction / Repossession: Swim. Have savaged Ocean 54 and are moving east with what appears to be little to no obstacles. Feasting on big cities in 54 and growing east where they are the power. Only real threat at this point to WDM but that doesn't appear to be an issue for now. Own their ocean and growing, nice job so far......if you think second place isn't just the first loser.
3. Band of the Red Hand: My alliance so i won't comment.
Tier 2
4. Havoc Elite / Oceans of Havoc: Float. Issue here is they share waters with WDM. Battlegrounds of 45/55 need to go their way, or at least one of the two, for them to come out of this. Same issue as Top Gun, if the big 3 stop fighting (what fun would that be) and WDM attention gets turned towards them, they are in trouble. Hold out until the attention turns to WDM and they will swim, the longer the WDM/Eviction and Band fight the worse it is here.
5. Top Gun: Float with a beer. Sitting in a good position in 43 and making in roads into other oceans, but if a peace comes between the top tier guys they could be in trouble real quick and if you spill the beer you sink.
6. The Pound: Swim. Location location location. In Ocean 56 with no real threats they can pick and choose where to get BP. Only problem here is WDM may go south and not SW, but overall a small good looking group.
Dark Horses
7. The Buccaneers: Sitting in Ocean 53 and statistically doing well. Not sure what kind of opposition they have but you can only fight the person in front of you and they are winning those fights.
8. Abusement Park: In Ocean 64 and appear to be moving north. Could be an interesting conflict brewing in 63 between my two dark horses. They may move east and not north, but what fun is that. War is fun.
9. Dragon Knights: Sink. Unfortunately for them there are a couple of evil players in 34 (See that as me, attacking them keeping them from growing). Lots of cities that grow into nice pretty takes for bigger players (again see me
Ok, there you go now tell me why Im wrong.
