1. Temporal Distortion - Yeah yeah I know it's a little biased, but we're currently fighting Rho Bust, Royal legion, Hounds of Hades and Iron Fists outnumbered in cities 3:1 on 3 fronts and have still taken more cities. The war has slowed down quite a bit in the last week or so, so only time will tell who is truly the best. It just goes to show that a small group of smart, active players can compete against against overwhelming numbers.
2. Rho-bust- Definitely an alliance worth mentioning. If TD wasn't at war with them, and we weren't slightly ahead in numbers then I would probably have us tied for first. Speaking from observations, it seems their weakness in some unskilled players gracing the bottom half of the alliance that seems to be dead weight, and the fact that they absorbed many DoW players who RB easily defeated. Overall still a good alliance.
3. Snake Men- Probably one of the most over looked alliances in Rho. These guys are constantly fighting, and right now are at war on every front being ganged up on by, well, pretty much every alliance in the North East. Regardless of what anyone says, these guys/girls can play the game and play it well.
4. Eviction Notice- Don't really know anything about them other then that they control quite a bit of area. I've heard they have a good group of players. Maybe one day we'll run into each other somewhere in the core... Until then, Cheers!
5. Snakes Force- Again don't know much about them, 6th in ABP, decent point per player average. I've heard that they struggle to keep their members happy, but I have not a clue if it's true or not.
6. Virus- One word. Skilled. 5th ranked in ABP, 6th overall, 7th in DBP, all with only 31 member. Highest average points in the game. The small numbers will be a problem during the world wonder era, and smaller alliances are creeping into their ocean because of their lack of ability to fully fill out the ocean due to the small numbers. But regardless. I wouldn't want to mess with them.
7. Dark Dorian Soldiers- Highest ranked MRA in the game. They've got like 3 separate alliance for different areas and recruit everyone for no reason it seems. Low average points, now very much ABP. They aren't very impressive on paper.
8. Royal Legion II- Ehh... Don't know what to really say about them. They are basically in MRA in the core ocean. I'm pretty sure the only reason they are still around is because they follow Rho Bust's orders. They'll most likely be gone by the time WW era starts. No major alliance is going to tolerate them in a core ocean.
9. The Knights Who Say Ni- Yes, I ranked them much higher then they actually are. Yes, they are in MRA territory. But they have a really great leadership team, and I can see them being the most successful MRA in the long run. Only time will tell if they can solidify their position and graduate from MRAdome, but I believe they will.
10. Crazy 88's part II- A great friend to TD, very enthusiastic group of players. Always ready to jump into the fight at a moments notice. It's been fun working along side with them.
11. Iron Fists- They are basically an MRA that as somewhat grown past being an MRA. TD has been skirmishing with them in the south for about as long as I can remember. They have gotten rid of the poor sections of it's leadership (Nazgul joined RB, don't understand why RB would want that scrub...) so we'll see where they go from here.
12. The Hounds of Hades and The Round Table- Every encounter with them proves how I feel about them. They are definition MRA. That says everything you need to know.
Honestly there isn't anyone else worth mentioning in Rho and really every alliance from 7-12 is still an MRA. It'll be interesting further down the road to see if we can get a solid top 12 alliances in Rho. I really hope so. That'll make for a VERY fun WW era.
and sorry we dont lie down to you or anyone else so feel free to keep this going am here for the long haul are you?
