Okay but with my rules: the top 5 alliances, because several other top 12 ally are wings and for the moment I haven't take a serious look in these alliance, with the word "up" and "down", because I d'ont really understand why you say Swim and sink, and without ABP/DBP/ etc :') So this is just a little top five
WDM
Like I said, For me the WDM position are to dispache. With a court vision, maybe they can hold their position 3 or 4 month. But the time will work on them, some key player gonna leaves the game etc, so I don't see them with the wonder anyway. But for me, if the other alliance are serious and attack WDM in every Oceans, its a question of week... So, for resume, I think We Don't Mind still be on it thanks to the other alliance who are to stupid for create a coalition who attack We Don't Mind everywhere in their better cities. Because the bigger problem in my mind for them is the low part of the alliance, and of course key player who have cities with just 2,5 K. Whats you gonna do with a 2,5K city.. And even If they are in the wonder aera, they can't win if they stay like this : Dispache. So with a court vision, up but witha long vision, down.
ZERO
Their position are great, their top player are great, but PLEASE, somebody can explain to them player with only one cities with 3k arejuste USELESS?? For me thats absolutly stupid to keep the low player.. If this alliance realize that, and give the lowest cities to the player with 2 cities and more, they can create a work force with 50 players with between 3 and 10 cities. If they do that, their top and key player will be absolutly dominate. Because if you give good cities to good players, you gonna win. So for me they must kick out their low part, take the cities and buil a group of 50players with a huge average point, if they do this, they willbe great. About their position, they are great, but for the moment they are just waiting without real fight.
Predators
For me,they have the better geographic position in the top five: They have the control of a Oceans but the oceans stay "free", so with a lot of cities with 3,5k point for extend their positions. But when i look at the players, this is exactly the same problem with Zero.. If they want create a real and powerful work force with their top player, they can't stay with these player with 3k point..
IAB (the big)
Typical mass alliance. Thats just a huge pool of easy target. They gonna explose before I take my 5 city, thats obvious..
Nightmare
Exactly the same thing.. When you talk about the "top players" it is about the players with 4k point..
So for be honest, yes in this point of view WDM look strong.. But its thanks to the other alliance only.. I don't see good alliance in all point of view in this world... Except AngryBaguette in coming, of course
