Since we're getting closer to WWs I think a new Top 12 is ripe as our new mod has posted, to try to re-animate this pretty dead external forum. No harm in trying supafletch, but this has been a pretty dead external since a few months in
1. Mortis Nuntius - Huge, covers ~ 75% of Zakros. Real good positioning for WWs with all those cities that will be ideal for resources. Also huge gold spenders, dropping thousands in gold in a couple hours without batting an eye. Between their size and unrestrained gold-use I think they could very well buy themselves a crown.
2. Ur-Unity - One of 4 academies, I assume this one is the "main" alliance. They have recently situated themselves and grown huge in size for WWs. I've had no personal dealings with them (due to location) but they seem pretty skilled from the news feeds that pop up.
3. Olympia Rising - Skilled and experienced players, a recent merge has added to their numbers and core location and has helped solidify them a place for WWs. I think they have a decent chance at WWs, but need to be able to play against the heavy gold users in MN.
4. The Saxons - Again seem very skilled and experienced. They have fought tooth and nail for their territory, to their advantage. I think they have a good chance at WWs if they can counterbalance MN's gold use.
5. Mortis Umbra - MN 2.0 basically another MN that I am guessing will be feeding the main alliance resources for WWs and trying to cause chaos to the other alliances.
6, 7, 9 - other Ur-Unities again, no contact. Unsure how they will develop into the time of WWs. Will they merge into a couple of academies? Are they going to do their own thing?
8. Unforgiven - A wildcard in my opinion. Just trying to wreak havoc. They have large players, but I don't think they'll have enough time to fight for a territory before WWs starts. I think they'll be attacking everyone else that they are not aligned with.
10. Band of Brothers - I have not heard a single thing about this alliance. I didn't even know it existed until today! Looks to be out on the rim, so might be a new group coming over to the server, or perhaps the remains of MN-rimmed players. Unsure of skill, but I do not think they will really have a chance at WWs. They may surprise me though!
11. A Verbis ad Verbera - Absolutely no chance at WWs. Not nearly active enough, many simmers, and I just don't even think they have a plan right now.
12. Ghost Walkers - Due to their size I don't think they have any chance at WWs. 33 people is not enough to try to win WWs. I think they're skilled, but haven't had too many dealings with them.
All in all, I think it's going to be a race of skill against gold for this world's WWs. Old school skill versus the nouveau riche....and it will certainly be a huge commentary on where Grepolis has headed with the way this server will turn out. It will certainly be an interesting one for sure.
