Hello readers, I am here today to show you the news in Lambda here in this forum. We have a variety of different topics in this paper, from top 12 analysis, to some cartoons, to sudoku, even a sport section, and much much more. If this doesn't satisfy your interest then you are out of luck.
Top 12 Alliances
1. nWo- nWo. is an alliance based mainly in Ocean 55. They are one of four alliances that have over 100 players. They have the second highest average points, and only are third in abp. Overall they have a lot of dead weight, not many experienced players, lack of abp or fighting in general, and lack a solid leader. I see them getting destroyed either by internal issues or by losing a war, whichever happens first.
2. The Grim Reapers- The Grim Reapers is an alliance based mainly in 44. They are another alliance that has over 100 players. They have low average points for there size, and are a dreadful 5th in abp. Overall they are an example of an MRA just like nWo. Also they are pushing closer to Apex core yet don't want us to continue farming there cities. We will not stop so will this be the start of a war between the two alliances? I see that either this potential war or internal issues shall make The Grim Reapers collapse.
3. The Masons- Another alliance based mainly in 55. The Masons are another alliance with over 100 players, however they are the best alliance with over 100 members. They are 2nd in abp and have the 4th highest average points in the top 12. They have a decent amount of experienced players and will be the toughest MRA to destroy. I don't know anything about there leadership as each member is sworn to secrecy unless they get in trouble. Since they are so secretive can they be a trustworthy ally? Overall they are not that bad although they seem to let just about anyone join and have to kick off some dead weight.
4. Killer Bees- An alliance based in 57, and another alliance with over 100 players. Low average points, what appears to be a lot of dead weight, and they are only 8th in abp. Being in a rim ocean though they should do just fine even as an MRA, as there will be no threats to stop them, but like any alliance they can fall from internal issues.
5. Numbers and Figures- Probably the best alliance in Lambda, they have the highest average points. They have the second lowest member count, and are the leaders in bp. Not to mention 13 of the first 15 players in abp are in this group. They are talented, true warriors and an example to the rest of Lambda who seems not to be doing much of anything. An aggressive alliance with solid leadership, I don't see a single alliance right now who can beat them. Assuming players are happy there I think they will last a long time.
6. ARMIGERIS- This is an alliance based mainly in ocean 56. They have decent average points for a rim ocean alliance, and are 9th in abp which isn't bad considering there late start. They have some dead weight, and will allow anyone in 56 to join them. Sounds a bit like an MRA but being the rim they will do fine. I wonder if they will expand north into 55 so they can fight some wars or instead will they just sit back and relax in 56 and wait for potential threats to expand towards them?
7. Bazaar Tactics- This is an alliance based mainly in ocean 35. These guys are an MRA, they had as much as 92 players after the first 4 days in this world. They will need to learn that quality is better than quantity. They are only 15th in abp which is terrible for an alliance of this size. But since they are in the rim they will probably do alright, like the other MRA's they have a nice amount of dead weight and there founder lets every player in his alliance be a founder for a week. So perhaps they will destroy themselves, if not they are to far away from any of the good alliances to be destroyed by war.
8. Apokalypse Angels- This alliance is based in 55. They are another MRA, and there leaders are inactive. They are 7th in abp which isn't that bad, but have low average points and seem to have little activity. I think they are already slowly collapsing and are nice farms right now for anyone in 55.
9. Devils and Angels- An alliance spread out across several oceans with no real core. They started off as an MRA, but put up some strong bp numbers. Now there leaders are inactive and the alliance will slowly collapse.
10. The Secret Society- this is one of the many top 12 alliances based in 55. They have a decent member counts and have decent average points. They are 12th in abp, pretty low especially since there are plenty of targets in this ocean. While they are not an MRA I still have my doubts on whether they will survive long.
11. Eye of the Tiger- An alliance based mainly in 54, Eye of the Tiger is another MRA. They are 14th in abp,very low for an alliance with there member count. Very low average points, a ton of dead weight, and lack of good leadership I don't see them lasting long.
12. HoffinPoffoGropolin- An alliance based in 45, they are a solid alliance. They are ranked 6th in abp, and in my opinion they are the 2nd best alliance in the top 12. Low member count, nice average points, and good leadership I expect them to last for a long time. I expect them to go up in the rankings once some of the MRA's start to die off.
Up and Coming Alliances
Here we look at some solid alliances who are not yet in the top 12.
Direwolves- Well they are a great example of quality over quantity. Only 7 members but they are 15th in abp and they average abp per player is almost 400 which is not bad this early into the world. They have the potential to be a solid alliance for a long time. The only thing that can jeopardize there future is with the lack of players in there alliance they will have difficulty stacking there cities with defense which will put them at risk for being conquest targets of another alliance in there area in the near future. They can prevent this by finding ways of getting some more good players into there alliance or by merging into another alliance.
Manticore- Manticore is another alliance with the potential to be a strong alliance for a long time. This alliance has a nice core and is a group of friends who have been playing war games together for 2 years. So they obviously have developed a strong relationship with each other which is great. They will support each other until the end and will only be loyal toward each other. They are still learning the game mechanics here but that won't stop them from being one of the strongest alliances in 54.
APEX- This alliance has the potential to be successful for a long time like the others. APEX is an alliance filled mainly with grepo vets. APEX has a nice core with 14 players on one island and has solid leadership. Based in 54 with no threats unless you include Manticore they should have no problems being the top alliance in 54.
Rise Against- An alliance based mainly in 56, they are a solid alliance. A nice smaller group in a rim ocean, with good leadership, nice activity, decent average points, and decent abp for an alliance on the rim. I think they will be one of the more aggressive rim ocean alliances and I see them doing real well in 56.
Interviews:
[SPR]Icarus88 of HoffinPoffoGropolin
Q: What alliance's performance has surprised you the most so far?
A: I'd have to say my own and Numbers And Figures surprised me the most. Both of us came around and began facing MRAs and have expanded and locked out pretty much every MRA around us.
Q: What in your opinion makes a sound alliance?
A: Activity is the biggest thing that makes a sound alliance. If everyone is active you can do anything. However, I also say that checked and balanced growth helps, as mass recruiting usually leans to being unorganized.
Q: What advice do you have for new players?
A: Biggest thing is don't join an MRA. Join a smallish alliance with experienced players and they can teach you.
Q: When looking for possible recruits, what is the first three criteria you look for in them? (Please Explain in details)
A: When looking for recruits I look at location first and foremost, you can't invite someone who is 6 hours via your fastest ship away from you because you can't logically support one another, keep it localized. Next I look at rating. The minimum rating changes as time passes, but you have to keep an eye to see if they are active or not in their cities growth. Finally I look at personality. I want to have friendly but responsible players in my alliance, and one's that won't give me future issues.
Q: What makes your alliance the best in Lambda in your opinion?
A: I believe I and my pact alliance are likely the two strongest in the ocean. Mainly due to activity and organization. We have managed to basically control our areas and pretty much destabilize the MRAs around us.
Q: Is your alliance at war with any others?
We are at war with other alliances but I am not at liberty to say who and can't share any information about that.[/SPR]
[SPR]TheokolesOne of The Legion of Poseidon
Q: What alliance's performance has surprised you the most so far?
A: My own, but for reasons other than you might think. We had some significant adversity very quickly, but we have come together to overcome it and are working towards a solid unity.
Q: What in your opinion makes a sound alliance?
A: Communication. Yes it's down to one word.
Q: What advice do you have for new players?
A: Build, build, build. Farm, farm, farm. And get into a good alliance that communicates well.
Q: When looking for possible recruits, what is the first three criteria you look for in them? (Please Explain in details)
A: Activity, if you're not playing frequently you are not an asset. Loyalty, I don't like to take in alliance hoppers, you never know where their loyalties lie. Experience, not the most important quality but it certainly helps.
Q: What are some of the goals of your alliance? How will you be able to achieve these goals?
A: We are the number one alliance in our ocean, we intend to stay there. We also plan to expand that into other oceans in time and ultimately in all of Lambda. But then isn't that the ultimate goal of the game? lol How? Well we'll just let you watch for the answer to that.
Q: What makes your alliance the best in Lambda in your opinion?
A: We have a loyal group that has already proven they will stick together, and I am proud to be their Founder/Leader.[/SPR]
[SPR]404NotFound of Devils and Angels
Q: What alliance's performance has surprised you the most so far?
A: Performance who surprised me? So I think mine as I find some loyal players and some with experience
Q: What advice do you have for new players?
A: No advice. All the players must develop theirself with their powers and after to say things like: "I'm attacked, I need help" .
Q: When looking for possible recruits, what is the first three things you look for in them? (Please Explain in details)
A: I can't choose someone to join ... because I don't know these servers very well ... I can't say about one player as he is good and have experience ... more and more players (In the first part of game) sent me message like "I'm an experienced player, give me an invitation please" and many other things ... what's should I make? I sent them an invitation and many leaved D&A for a MRA.
Q: What are some of the goals of your alliance? How will you be able to achieve these goals?
A: I have never wanted to win this world ... because it's speed 1 ... I'm looking for a world with speed 3 ... but I really have wished to take some milestones
Q: What makes your alliance the best in Lambda in your opinion?
A: This alliance? the best? don't joke with me ... sure in the first part D&A was the best ... that's certainly ... but I had players when other alliance hadn't ... but after, all alliances will declare us war. We hadn't a core ... because of this, D&A was sank .
Q: Is your alliance at war with any others?
A: It's nothing secret right now ... we have war with N&F and their allies ...[/SPR]
[SPR]The Candyman of The Grim Reapers
Q: What alliance's performance has surprised you the most so far?
A: I think that my alliances performance has surprised me the most ([ally]The Grim Reapers[/ally]).
Q: What in your opinion makes a sound alliance?
A: I think active smart players make a good alliance.
Q: What advice do you have for new players?
A: My advice for new players is choose your alliance wisely, wait a couple worlds before you run an alliance, and keep building up troops and your city, also you need BP to get more cities later, so don't forget to attack people.
Q: When looking for possible recruits, what is the some of the things you look for in them? (Please Explain in details)
A: Well, I normally talk to them for a while, but right now I pretty much just want new people in my core and I am giving a couple days to prove worthy and get a lot of points.
Q: What are some of the goals of your alliance? How will you be able to achieve these goals?
A: My goals for this alliance is to have good pacts with other alliances and also eventually be number 1 in this world.
Q: What makes your alliance the best in Lambda in your opinion?
A: Well we actually have a lot of active helpful members, we have over 100,000 points in our core, our average is low, but because we are giving newer players in this world a chance, and we have moved up tons of ranks recently.
Q: Is your alliance at war with any others?
A: We are at war with others, but i would not like to say who.[/SPR]
