Statistically RONIN appear to be the best alliance on the server, with the best averages as well as the best overall. But they do have some major dis-advantages, the largest being they are spread between all 4 squads. Also I wonder how necessary having 2 wings are, as I am certain they are carrying a lot of dead-weight. Despite all of this their kills, raiding totals and averages makes them undoubtedly the no1 alliance at the moment.

Like RONIN these guys are spread across all 4 quads which will undoubtedly be an issue in the future. Bk have lots of members, lots of pop and few good players but their attacking totals are pretty pathetic. Which gives them the title "biggest simmers on the server". On top of that their "alliance requirements" tell me they are recruiting pretty much anyone. If Bk can't kill more and focus more on 1 quad their future doesn't look to bright...


Dragons
Alliances: Dragons, DragonsV
Region: NE

Unlike most alliances they have managed to stay in their quad and they've also got 2 good alliances instead of 1 with a couple of wings. Judging by V's off points I'm going to say they are focusing equally on both offense and defense. They are also raiding a lot which is essential at this stage of the game. Their averages aren't brilliant but they look to be a solid all round alliance.


ACME
Alliances: ACME
Region: SE

Farmed Resources: 1716942
Farmed Average: 44024
Top10 Farmers: 1

ACME seem to have the perfect balance at the moment. They are strong offensively and are raiding enough resources to stay at the top. They have a good number of members and confeds (0) focusing only in the SE. If ACME can keep this up I can see them becoming the no1 alliance come mid-game.


TURK
Alliances: TURK
Region: SE
http://www.gettertools.com/s2.travia...G-Map/83771537

Farmed Resources: 804506
Farmed Average: 47323
Top10 Farmers: 2

TURK have managed to keep a small and strong member base although having a few members outside of their quad disadvantages them especially considering their member count is relatively low. They have good averages but I would expect an alliance like them to be raiding more.

Like TURK they are a small strong alliance focusing in 1 quad. Their offense averages aren't particularly great as well as their raiding totals. They have the best pop average and all but 4 of their members are in the top100 which is very impressive. I'm going to guess that they are relying on croppers for ressies and we may see some good hammers coming from them in the future.

T4 Screenshots

Travian Games have allowed the posting of Screen shots from the T4 Beta server :)
Remember that this is the Beta server so all this stuff is not finalized yet and could change before T4 is released.

RONIN & TURK

Its pretty easy to tell that RONIN & TURK are by far the best alliances. So I thought I would do a little statistical comparison. Next week I'll do a more detailed analysis of all the alliances.

Map of RONIN & TURK

Well it looks pretty conclusive that statistically RONIN are a better alliance. Disagree?, then feel free to comment and say why :)

Also I am unable to post screen-shots of the T4 Beta as Travian Games is prohibiting the posting of any images on any public website :(

Travian 4 Beta

For those who do not know a Beta has been released for Travian 4. A select few were sent invites to the server thru email while a few thousand more were sent emails randomly. I have managed to get access to one of these accounts and I plan to post about how T4 looks and works.
If you have any questions or want to know about something in particular feel free to ask :) I also plan to put up some screen shots tomorrow.

Alliance Analysis Week 1

Whoops I meant to post this on Sunday :D


DOM
Region: Everywhere
http://www.gettertools.com/s2.travia.../G-Map/8627819

DOM like many other start game alliances have high pop ratings and pretty bad Off & Raiding totals. You may think no4 attackers isn't too bad but on this server it aint. They could actually be a semi-alright alliance if they weren't spread out across all quads and allied with everyone inbertween.


Dragons
Region: NE

Members: 24

Dragons are one of the few alliances that have relised you need to focus on one quad to get anywhere. I actually found myself warming up to these guys until I looked at their Offense points. Every player in the top20 attackers has more kill than them and that really is sad.

RONIN
Region: SW
http://www.gettertools.com/s2.travia...G-Map/43425031
Members: 10
Confeds: 0
NAPs: 0

Pop Ranking: 12

Top20 Off Players: 2

Farming Rank: 10
Farmed Resources: 546940
Farmed Average: 54694
Top10 Farmers: 1

I have a strong feeling that these guys are a bunch of multis. They are focused around 2 accounts and they even named the alliance after one of them. I reckon they'll survive until the duals can't manage the accounts... and that could be a while considering how many they have.


TURK
Region: SE
http://www.gettertools.com/s2.travia...G-Map/28018250
Members: 18
Confeds: 0

Farmed Resources: 1999334
Farmed Average: 111074
Top10 Farmers: 2

From what I've heard TURK are a start game alliance which will be around for a few weeks or months. At the moment they look pretty good, plenty of off points and raiding totals as well as nice averages. Staying in 1 quad and having no allies also helps their cause.

TURK²
Region: Everywhere

The fact that they have stolen TURK's name tells you something.. Their off points are very low and their raiding totals non-existent. On top of that they are multi-quad. I really do not see them getting anywhere.


TYG
Region: NE
http://www.gettertools.com/s2.travia...-Map/158331033
Members: 17
Confeds: 0
NAPs: 0

Pop Ranking: 6

Top20 Off Players: 5

Farming Rank: 1
Farmed Resources: 2133786
Farmed Average: 125517
Top10 Farmers: 3

In my opinion TYG are the best alliance out there. Their leadership appears to be sane with knowledge of travian and their player base is good. Like TURK they have are strong raiders and big killers. If they can keep this up I can easily see them becoming the strongest force in the NE.

  UAO like DOM are big simmers. Loads of members, pop, confeds and multiquad. It will not be long before these guys go down the same path as every other start game simmers.

Goodbye my love...

As I logged into my account this morning I checked the alliance stats and suddenly relised something was missing. After much thought I relised that au2s first meta was no more! I then decided to do a little bit of research to try and find out what happened.

SD are still around but only have 4 members and it won't be long before they go *poof*

SD IV renamed themselves DOM and are currently the no2 alliance pop wise. They are multi-quad, pacifist and enjoy allying with everyone so in a sense they are just like the old SD :)

SD II renamed themselves @Pigs@ and just recently declared themselves TURK's un-official wing. It will be interesting to see how TURK respond and if they take any legal action (although I think they'll prefer to just farm them).

SD III renamed themselves 9OCLOCK and tbh kinda suck

And if my sources are reliable (which they are) my comment on them not making it past Tuesday was correct ;)

AU2 Stats

Since nothing is really happening atm I thought I may as well share a few quick facts about how au2 is going.

AU2 has been going for 7 days and a half days

• 37.2% of accounts are Gaul, 32.8% Roman and 30.1% Teuton
• No-one has settled their 2nd village
• There are 46 heroes, only 1 is lv1
• There are 64 alliances, 2 have over 20 members
