Shockingly people actually appreciate my map assessment, as I have received a few comments over the past few days in game. I will try to add more to this feature and will even expand to the top 15 tribes.................
1) Imperium - Still the #1 tribe and still #1 in almost all measurable stats. BP ahead by a far margin as a lot of players in top 10 in both points and bp. A lot of inactives, most are tucked away in the core but a lot were lost out east. The east continues to be a flaw in this tribe as anytime something goes right it appears FRK/UTD push back. Very good expansion in other parts especially in the west. Interesting to see who tries to nibble at them in the west after VVV is gone. 36 of the top 100 point players belong to this tribe.
Wars - the coalition of VVV/FRK/UTD - other stuff on the horizon
2) The League of Black Knights - Still ranked #2 by points by a fairly good amount. With 150 members on board, you would hope to see a bit more in numbers especially bp, but I guess eventually it will happen. A lot of dead weight players near the bottom log in queue some buildings and take off, so we'll see how long that lasts. Still have some players spaced out to far on the map, not sure what they would do if conflict arose. 12 of the top 100 players belong to this tribe.
Wars - This tribe is surrounded by some good tribes, and I'm not totally sure if they are attacking any of them. I would have to guess they are fighting t.w/zep/roa if anything.
3) The Rize of Abyss - They jump up a spot since the last update. Major tribe in the SE, surrounded by a lot of big tribes. 140+ players make up this tribe and they have similar bp to TBK which you would like higher for a tribe this size. A lot of deadweight players also make up a good portion of their tribe. 6 players in the top 100 belong to this tribe
Wars - Pretty sure they have been fighting Ds. for a long time now, obviously would like to see them and tbk square off. There is also the possibility of them joining in on the 'War with IMP' party
4) Freaks and Geeks - They move up a spot from #5 to now be at #4. They have been the 2nd best tribe for quite some time, and since the last update they have created more separation between them and #3. The absorbed that weird Legacy merger known as DNA(which was an awful name). This influx of players just made them a lot stronger as I was originally high on Legacy/DNA. They continue their coalition against IMP which for the most part has been doing quite well, they picked up a lot of the far east IMP members, who were the weak part of the tribe, but that's what you do in this game. Very good bp, ranked # 2 in that stat and are about half the size of TBK and ROA. Over 100k ppm which is another good sign knowing they have good active players. 9 of the top 100 players belong to this tribe.
Wars - IMP
5) The Wing - A tribe I was never too high on, has finally started to crumble. A bunch of the better players have left to form a tribe called Hyperactive(which is later in the list) and another couple guys have left to join IMP. Their ppm is quite bad although still higher than T.W...not sure how. All their stats are going down this will be a tribe that does not last too long on this list. They are wrapped around to thinly along the north and I believe tribes are starting to smell the blood in the water. They have 1 player in top 100
Wars - Sakala
6) We Stand United - It amazes me that this tribe is still around. This tribe use to have a good standing on both sides of the map and at this point the west is all but gone. IMP has began moving north and is taking out players up there. The East they have FRK to thank for still existing as they battle IMP. They have a decent ppm now, but still have a deadweight at the bottom of the tribe. Their bp rank is equal to their tribe rank so I guess that is something to hang your hat on. I would have to imagine at some point they become one with FRK. 8 players in the 100 belong to this tribe.
Wars - IMP
7) Sakala - A tribe that has jumped up 2 spots since the last update. This tribe is benefiting greatly from TWG's impending doom. There are a lot of TWG memebers that run through the middle of SKL and they will likely be eaten and as they advance further west. Good tribe size with a good ppm, ranked 5th in bashpoints which is great to see. As far as inactivity it doesn't appear to be a great amount just a lot of low end players towards the bottom. A tribe that is clearly trending in the right direction and should pass up UTD in points in no time. 5 players in the top 100 belong to this tribe
Wars- TWG
8) The Wildlings - ...I have had to include this tribe in the ranks a few times before and I have to say I don't think I said anything nice about them. Turns out weeks to months later there still isn't anything good to say. 120 members, an awful ppm, awful bp, awful positioning and YET they still exist. There is 2.5 groups of them so spaced apart that they should just be separate bad tribes. One group is located along the rim in the far NW another group is in NE next to SKL and the half group is loacted in the far E by TBK. I don't know maybe I'm being to hard on them, their stats show a ton of deadweight and inactive players. Literally about 70 members would need to be chopped off to get to players that average 1k points/day. They have 2 players in the top 100.
Wars - I have no idea, if I were located by them I would go at them so hopefully SKL/TBK/TWG/FRK are reading this
9) Darkside - So last time they were 8 and they have dropped a spot to 9 so let's see what we find. First thing I see is they lost their #1 ranked player to Obskurt(later in the list), so that dropped them 350k points. This tribe has been close knit in the SW and they continue to be. It appears they are handling themselves well, but you would hope for a little more expansion. PPM is good better than half of the previous tribes mentioned. They have maintained a lower player count and that works out usually good. They have an excellent obp/dpb ratio and actually have a obp slightly over UTD. 3 players in the top 100 come from this tribe.
Wars - I would hope ROA, possibly Obk and maybe WEU
10) Snakes on a Zeppelin - This is a new tribe to me and they are located on the other side of the map so I know very little. From what I can tell they are a great cluster in the NE on top of TBK with 1.5 parts of TWG surrounding them. Hopefully they are paying attention to my comments on T.W and they can grow even more. They have a low number of players, wish the ppm was a bit higher but it appears a lot of their players are small. The tough part becomes is there enough actual players in this tribe to make progress. Their bp is quite good considering the size. 2 of the top 100 players reside in this tribe.
Wars - I hope T.W but also could go at TBK
11) Veni Vidi Vici - This tribe was once considered the 2nd best tribes, but bad luck and decisions have finally caught up to it. They have fallen to #11, their best players have high-tailed it to other tribes, what is left is either inactive or trying to make IMP's life as tough as possible. It is not likely that this tribe will be on this list next go round. Still an excellent ppm, excellent bp still but they are being overran. 3 players in the top 100.
Wars - IMP/TWG/Ds.
12) World Empires United - Welcome aboard to the rankings thread WEU, I'm sure you belon....you have worse stats than T.W good god. Perhaps there is more to this story. Alright so the majority of the players are from the rim on the SW which may explain some lower numbers as they started a lot later. As you go around the circle you begin to notice sprinkles of players in every quadrant. I don't know why anyone would think that's a good idea. They boast 152 players(one more than TBK) perhaps they were going for that. They have a cute tribe profile about how they attack so next we'll go on to their bp. They are ranked 12 in total bp which is their rank, but there is always a but, they have more dbp than obp...yikes. I guess on a positive note we don't have to be scared of losing T.W as we have a backup. 0 players in the top 100 and none are close.
Wars - I don't know if it's a war if you aren't fighting back, but I guess it's the tribes near them.
13) Hyperactive - New tribe to the thread and new tribe to the game. A couple of TWG players left formed this tribe added a couple others from other tribes and we have Hyperactive. Their profile talks about aggressive players and for the most part that is accurate. There are a few players near the bottom who have a bad point/obp ratio, but you do need to fill a tribe out. Located in the NW they have plenty of tribes to target as it is a giant melting pot in that area. I thought ZEP had a great obp/dpb ratio...these guys are nearly 25/1 which is insane. 6 players in the top 100.
Wars - They are new so I'm not sure what their plans are, there are a lot of tribes in that area so we'll have to see what route they go
14) Obskurt - New tribe to the thread, tribe has been around some time. They have 9 players and have the highest ppm....dam you ;p. They are tight knit in the SW and have some major players, 2 of the top 5. They have excellent bp's and ratio, problem is can a tribe that small sustain the long haul, they also will have to worry soon about IMP on a more consistent basis. 4 of the top 10 are in this tribe.
Wars - Not sure, would imagine they are fighting WEU/TWG/VVV but they have to have their eyes set on IMP
15) Moshi Moshi - New tribe to this thread, I think they have been around but I'm not sure. They are located nicely in the NW. They have a good spot as they are around TWG, which could be a good time for them to strike as they appear to be in disarray. I don't know much about them but they have a small member count and their profile is from Taken. They have members listed as Tribe Developers which intrigues me because I have no clue what that means. They have really only a handful of active players so this could ultimately be bad for them as the inactivity is killer. There bp is a decent number based on their size and is a good ration which does mean good things for them. They have no members in the top 100.
Wars - Not sure but I would guess TWG possible HYP
