TOP 10 TRIBES Week 5 6: Sorry for the delay
Unpaid blogger harassed for not posting weekly on dead forums
“Who’s going to give me 5 minutes of entertainment now?” cried Steel Tempest
Game devs kill messenger
“Community and communication are the most important parts of the game. That’s why we decided to make it 10x more difficult with our latest update!” -Devs
Seriously, why won't you just let our game die? -also devs
On the real…
I wanted to take a moment to talk about recent game updates and events. The game devs are completely ruining the game by allowing chat bugs and village/player/tribe linking bugs to persist. This game is about communication, and right now, it has become extremely difficult to do even the most basic tasks. They ruined the ability to copy+paste quotes/ops into different messages. In a game that revolves around communication, this is unacceptable.
These bugs were reported over 2 weeks ago, and should have been solved already. But what did we get instead? Another month of Gwyn’s games, which has been hated by the community. Absolutely greedy play on the part of InnoGames. If I was on the moderation/dev team, I would be embarrassed.
Tips & Tricks:
This is going to be a new section rolling out next week, giving new players some tips on things like spies, how to build a village, and other topics. I’d love to get some feedback and ideas from the community.
TOP 10 TRIBES MAP
LEADERBOARD RANKINGS
1) NIB
Would you be surprised if I told you that NIB was rank 1 again this week? Absolutely killin’ on all fields. Offense. Defense. Even diplomacy. NIB has some really good tribal systems in place. They grabbed most of the best players from HIT, and have officially reached the western rim. They’re also clobbering LIT on the southeastern front. I honestly don’t see them losing the world at this point, unless something drastic happens.
2) Elite Reborn
Technically the rank 2 tribe, they have suffered some massive losses on their western and southern fronts. While they still have larger numbers, statistics are showing that LIT is on the back foot, at least on the southeastern front. It’s a shame they were unable to grab HIT’s players and shows they have a lack of diplomacy.
3) Umbra Noctis:
Officially rank 3 now! Congrats to Umbra on climbing the ranks. They’ve had a good showing the past 2 weeks, showing 100% weekly growth in all of the important stats that a healthy tribe wants to see. They have locked down the Northwest and have all but cleared out all of their threats, except for a few LIT and CRI/BLK villages. I’m curious to see what their next move will be.
4) islander
islander has been knocked down to the rank 4 spot this week, as other tribes have been stepping up their game. ISL actually had a decent 2 weeks of growth, all things considering. However, I don’t think it will be anywhere near enough to compete with U*N or NIB. They are trying to fill out their provinces to the East, and have seen some pretty dramatic growth to the south. They may have some strengths in diplomacy, but their coordination and player activity across the board seem to be lacking.
5) CASUALS
I’ve had quite a few run ins with these tough bastards, recently. While they may be playing casually, their players are quite experienced and active. They’ve had fantastic growth across the board. Since they have a NAP with NIB, their only next available spot to grow is through ISL and TSB. If they’re able to conquer those villages, they’ll officially be out of room to grow.
6) Black Sails (formerly known as Gods of Justice, formerly known as Gods and Monsters)
Well, as I predicted, BLK made the mistake of caving into NIBs threats about having too many members, and now they are down to 50, from their original 69. Absolutely terrible game call on their leadership’s part, this tribe may as well be irrelevant.
7) Crimson Sails
Same as above
8) The Hit Squad
It’s sad to see these guys go. Unfortunately, HIT has been dismembered, and their good players have been grabbed by NIB and UN. This tribe is on the way out.
9) Atlantis
Good god, just let this tribe die already. I’m happy to report they have lost 21 villages and seen ZERO obash points in the past 4 weeks…
10) The Speared Boar
Still in the top 10 tribes, but unfortunately there isn’t much to say about TSB. +37k dbash and +24k obash growth this week.
