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
Members: 30
Confeds: 5
NAPs: 3

Pop Ranking: 2
Population: 2932
Population Average: 98
Top100 Players: 7

Off Ranking: 4

Top20 Off Players: 1

Farming Rank: 9
Farmed Resources: 553777
Farmed Average: 18459
Top10 Farmers: 0

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
http://www.gettertools.com/s2.travia.../G-Map/5182996
Members: 24
Confeds: 0
NAPs: 0

Pop Ranking: 3
Population: 2304
Population Average: 96
Top100 Players: 6

Off Ranking: 19
Off Points: 133
Off Average: 6
Top20 Off Players:

Farming Rank: 6
Farmed Resources: 633540
Farmed Average: 26398
Top10 Farmers: 0

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
Population: 1082
Population Average: 108
Top100 Players: 4

Off Ranking: 3
Off Points: 932
Off Average: 93
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
NAPs: 0

Pop Ranking: 4
Population: 2172
Population Average: 121
Top100 Players: 8

Off Ranking: 1

Off Average: 133
Top20 Off Players: 3

Farming Rank: 2
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
http://www.gettertools.com/s2.travia...-Map/153184707
Members: 21
Confeds: 1
NAPs: 1

Off Points: 234

Top20 Off Players: 0

Farming Rank: ?
Farmed Resources: ?
Farmed Average: ?
Top10 Farmers: 0

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
Population: 2065
Population Average: 121
Top100 Players: 8

Off Ranking: 2
Off Points: 2133
Off Average: 125
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
Region: Everywhere
http://www.gettertools.com/s2.travia...-Map/165206478
Members: 33

  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

• There are currently 3697 accounts on the server.
• 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
• There have been 58316 attacks and 13870 casualties
• An average of 0.23784210165 casualties per Attack

Alliance Summary

Well we are starting to see a couple of alliances popping up around the place. In this post I\'ll be going thru the better alliances and sharing my views on them :) Of-course this is still the early stages of the game so don\'t expect anything great.

UAO® currently sit at the no1 alliance spot but their off points & raiding totals are some what pitiful. Their list of CPs gives me the feeling that they are inexperienced and will be gone shortly.

@Pigs@ are a lot like UAO, high pop and really crappy everything else. Same story with theCPs and NAPs. Pretty much your classic start game alliance.

SD Meta As I mentioned earlier, these guys are trigger happy recruiters who don\'t know what they are doing. Too many members/wings/confeds and not enough troops.

TÜRK ™ Every server you have your foreign start game alliances and every server they don\'t make it anywhere. Unlike every other alliance they actually know what a club is, but I still think they won\'t get too far.

TYG. Not too bad unless TCG and ITG are their wings. Their off points/raiding totals are pretty decent and I\'d rate them as the best alliance out there. But they still aren\'t brilliant and have a lot more to improve on.

As expected I don\'t really see any of these alliances making it anywhere (exception of TYG). But then I get surprised every day...

NOTE: In case you are wondering I did not include quads quite simply because everyone is everywhere and I can\'t be bothered visiting gettertools :)

AU2's First Meta

It is with great sadness that I proclaim SD as au2's first Meta. They currently have 4 alliances under their tag nearly 1/3 of all the alliances on the server. Although what I find most amazing is that they all have 45+ pop and 1:1 troop ratios :O
Their is great speculation about who they are, raging from multinites too Stick Death fan clubs. Although the most common belief is that they are just some trigger happy recruiters looking for their moment of glory and they'll be gone by next Tuesday. But then travian is just full of surprises... and you never know, they may even make it to Thursday ;)

If you have anything else to add please feel free to comment :)

24hr Sum Up

AU2 has now been going for 24hrs and the number of player is a wee bit disappointing (just over 1500). But then I'm guessing it'll be mainly more experienced players multiing and they usually spawn later on. Well we'll find out at the end of the week.

So far 6 alliances have been founded and 7 players couldn't resist attacking Nature. The top non-crew player has 45 pop. Apart from that pretty much nothing has happened :)

Welcome

For those who don't know me my name is Oscar although most people know me as Ogg. I have been playing travian for about 4yrs now and I've been a member of the au/nz forum for quite a long time.
I played the last round of au2 as Black Sheep and led a number of alliances through-out the server. If your interested in finding out more about last au2 I recommend you read thru some of this or take a look around the au2 forum archive.

I am setting up this blog primarily to follow the 3rd round of au2 although I'll probably post about other travian related stuff as well. I will be focusing mainly on alliancey stuff and how multi-accounting effects this. In case you did not know, Loki (the au admin) has decided to run au2 as an experiment server with multi-accounting allowed. You can find out more about this here.
