Two months after the start of this world, and with the end point set at 3500 Victory Points,the top tribe has only amassed 7% of the total needed for victory. The top three tribes together have only reached 20% and the top ten tribes only 32% of the total needed for victory. Victory for anyone seems a distant goal.
So how does the winning tribe get to victory? A very mass merger of the top ten tribes gets the winners 1/3 of the way to victory. How to get the next 2/3? The top 10 tribes list 383 members. If they all were active in a single tribe, they would need to average 9+ VP per member. That mass merger plus expansion plan seems even more far fetched if dormant players are removed from the calculation.
The current top three tribes are within 10% of each other (239 - 249 VP). While they may change their relative position, it's unlikely a separate tribe will challenge these three to lead the rankings. Therefore the leadership of the most ambitious of these tribes needs to create a strategy to out perform the other two. Certainly taking villages from the others on the battlefield is one avenue to victory, but again, taking all the villages from the other two gets the top tribe only 20% of the way to victory. That leaves a lot of barbarians and minor players to conquer for the roughly 50 players that each of the three top tribes have.
So how does one tribe climb above the others? Beyond organic growth, the most likely tactic is by recruiting additional players to their tribe. Where possible, luring from other top tribes would work best. Beyond that, recruiting from other tribes and the few independent players would have to be done.
