So for a quick Pre-BP end top 6:
1. Redemption: (Swim) good positioning in O54 and around the center, they have a couple of islands well-populated only a couple spread out. First in ABP, DBP in big difference from others. Good player base. Not gonna say more because it will be not completely objective.
2. NewBlood: (Float/SINK) a bit spread out, if they don't join together soon they will be eaten up quick. No main ocean and inactives are starting to show up. 2nd in ABP, DBP rankings but close to number 3 alliance.
3. Undecided: (Swim) good position north O55, they have a well-populated island. They could have more active people since they have spaces. After BP will either starting eating NewBlood or engage with Redemption. But in a favorable position for post-BP ends. Close BP with NewBlood despite the member difference which is a good sign.
4. Eviction Notice: (Float/SINK) Too spread out. Most of their cities are in O45 so if they focus on that ocean they may survive and later swim. For now not a great position to be in.
5. The Aegean Sea: (SINK) really spread out. If one member is attacked the others are far to be reached in proper time. All over the place and not good in terms of BP.
6. Gold Exchange Sucks: (Float) Not bad in terms of positioning in O44. Uncontested there so they should eat around and grow post-BP. In terms of fighting, they are in a bad position but if they are worth it if they can get up the ranks soon.
So this is it, just a fast overview before the beginner protection. Not a lot to say but just to get things going.
