My first top 12 (10, I got bored) Hope you like it!
1. RedNeck Avengers - 1st in both points and ABP by a long margin. Absolutely dominating O54, no other alliance comes close. Taking over O54 shouldn't be a problem at all now that PA have gone, I wonder what ocean they'll expand into next? Conquests wise, they're ripping into Bloodwood Forest and The Olympians. If the world doesn't undergo drastic change I can see these guys being the favourites to win.
SWIM
2. Repossession Agents - My alliance. Would just like to say the war, if it can even be called that, with Roman Republic is going well. We haven't decided yet whether we're going to be going for the win yet but either way, we're going to be a pain in the backside for other alliances trying to build their wonders.
3. Impervious B*stards - Strongly concentrated in SE O44, IB seem to be tearing Bambi apart and they've got the ABP (3rd) to prove it. Toxic also have a strong presence in O44, will be interesting to see what happens when IB have finished getting the last bits of meat off Bambi's carcass
SWIM
4. ROMAN REPUBLIC - Located in North O55, RR are losing ground rapidly against Repo, the score being 7-0 so far. Not sure what choices they've got other than to migrate to a new ocean (seem to have some cities in O53?). Falling down the rankings and I believe that they'll continue to fall until they manage to get themselves up and running in a new ocean.
SINK like every other alliance with Roman in their name.
5. Dynamic - I believe Dynamic started late, landing in East O55. Not many conquests as of now but a decent amount of ABP. They don't seem to be at war with anybody but that could change soon; Repo aims to control O55 so a clash is inevitable. Untested as of yet will they hold their own or will they crumble like the Roman Republic? Only time will tell.
FLOAT for now.
6. Four Horsemen - Look at them and Repo on the map, raise any eyebrows? Have the look of a MRA; high member counts, low average and ABP. Being friends with a number of them I believe they'll sort themselves out over time. Personally I would recommend cutting all the 'weaker' players ASAP and maybe expanding South? More targets in O56.
FLOAT
7. Toxic - Located in O44 alongside IB, maybe another new-ish alliance? Fewer conquests than expected. Seem to have a few strong core islands with the rest of their players spread across the whole of O44. Like I said, will be interesting to see what happens when they and IB clash.
FLOAT for now
8. ROMAN EMPIRE - See RR.
9. Whatever you like it - 'The Better Alliance' according to their profile, are they? No, I don't think so. Located on the O54/53 border. Have low ABP and a tiny number of conquests with losses to both RA and PA. They control O53 for now but is that The Elite I see? In for a tough fight and I'm afraid I don't see these guys emerging as the victors.
SINK
10. Fully Equipped Elite - Located in O44 alongside IB, again, will be a tough fight for FEE. For a core alliance they have good ABP (#6) but are growing too slowly for them to have much of a chance against larger core alliances. Looks like they've just created an academy as well. Need to buck their ideas up or they'll drop out of the Top 12 fast.
FLOAT for now.
Edit: Haha, looks like only the top 3 are going anywhere from that colour scheme
