Here is my new top 8( 7 since NSL is evaluated in NB topic)..
Not worth yo go beyond as Martinus suggested.
this evaluation covers the period April 1-11.
1. NB Group ( NSL included).
In the mentioned period NB has continued to match ahead full speed and without Brakes,lol.
The numbers are 6,750,000 point growth, and an extra 507 cities,bp total almost 5 million,from which 3,200,000( 65%) are ABP and 1,750,000 DBP.
Again they showed their defensive strength repelling successfully the attacks of the combo Musket Bees( we had just two losses in their last op,buy main focus was on Epi not us).
In the past 6 days( after rebuilding) NB gave a crippling blow to Amazon's( with the cooperation of other interested alliances), cutting them to pieces as soon as they came into their radar,and while the last cs were still landing in their cities NB started a strong op on Muskets.
In 3 days they took around 75 cities, forcing the chief scalp seeker in VM.
Inactivity has been small.
Without a doubt they have got the upper hand in their conflict with Muskets and held well toward Killer Bees.
Swim.
2. Killer Bees( GHB included).
In this period KB profited by the fall of Muskets to seize the second spot.
Their growth has been a good 3 million points and an extra 155 cities ( the main had a good 294 but GHB is dying and has a negative growth of 140 cities and -1,170,000 points), and for the more there has been a substantial increase in their bp gains compared to the previous evaluation period ( no doubt event helped all),some 2,150,000.
From which around 1,450,000 were abp and 800k dbp( it is go be noted the fast growth in dbp,no doubts from quests since NB hasn't attacked them,and Axe too,and they have no pacts to help so one may argue this dbp growth came from supporting allies:d.
Now beyond jokes,they cut short the futile joke of "independent" Husband Killers ( aka widow makers) and poop came home with his tale between legs having failed in his self imposed mission of lying NB players for his " independent" group).
This of course is reflected in the better stats of this period.
It is also to be noted that Jarndog with shraw account became a wasp.
No doubt to arrange the merge of the dispirited muskets into Bees in order to save what is possible.
Drama ( Frenkie successfully succeeded to make Dax angry lol) and inactivity have been present too.
They did better against Bloody Axe and the combo Musket Bloods asked their help to subdue Epidemic.
Peace in our time with Black Ship continue.
Swim.
3. Musketeers ( without Wombles,lol).
Hmm,what to say?
Earthquake of scale 9 Richter?
Even Float seemed an optimistic evaluation.
Loads of quitting players, disheartened flock,huge city losses( around a hundred),no home ocean anymore ,desperate efforts to arrange some merge with their enemies, selling bloods, but yet no fruits.
Some players switched to NB.
So back to the beeblood alternative, lol
Wombles disbanded due to massive quitting.
Net loss in points is a million, and in cities around 180+( note that some players of Wombles in VM at the time of dissolution are not a total net loss,being expected to come back from VM).
Bp growth is a good 3,500,000, but 61% is dbp( 2,135,000) though.
The reactions toward LW and NB gave nothing in return and toward Epi the help of Bees was needed.
What holds the future for them?
For the next ten days it could be a Float but for sure in the long run is more s Sink.
Humorous note- thinks will shine again now that Pelly Kroud is made a leader and spirits cheered by the return of the undisputed hero of ocean 58 in Eubea:d
4. Written in Blood.
Point growth is 2,680,000,city gain some 220+.
Not spectacular but good it is,more positive is the bp growth, some 2,130,00, and from this total 1,250,000 is abp and dbp too is in increase ( 880 k).
Yet they failed to score a notable battlefield victory against Epi with just Musket help( one to one dare not predict),so bees too were called upon to subdue them.
Swim.
5. Black Ship.
They continued their routine with local wars.
Point growth was 2,430,000, city gain 197.
Bp is 1,090,000, from which 915 k is abp.
Dbp small.
Swim due to location.
6. Epidemic.
They have had,as expected hard times.
Failure of Musket blood combo brought bees on the battlefield, but more important they have had their main problems from quittings.
Talent,willpower and honor they have,slots too,but players are needed to reap the fruits.
The quitting of several players is reflected in a low point growth ( 1,260,000l and especially cities( +33 only).
The heavy odds brought considerable losses( have not counted but think a -50?).
Not all is bleak, news from the North is positive ( Musket plight) and there have been no switchers of note.
Float.
7. Lone wolves.
Kurbads club has had a good period with 2,300,000 point growth and a net city gain of 215.
Bp is still low( 980 k) but dbp had a higher growth due to a musket raid.
On their north Amazon's sudden hello was cut short and Muskets are unable for a decisive stroke.
Toward 35 all quiet.
So it is a swim.
Tbh not worth prolonging it.
Note. The author is a leader in NB,so prone to biased evaluation.
The Bloods comment one to one.. but its not is it. yes muskets are hitting epidemic too. but epidemic have vanguard 1 and 2 and also mad dogs to help them plus.. alot of support from NB
