The Regular Report

[Juska]

Thought I'd make another of these since I'm bored any don't have any turns and well there has been no real discussion so far.

The Regular Report

As most people know regular was accidentally reset about two weeks ago, putting to end a vibrant war between forces lead by Peace Alliance and Gen. Volkov, and we have entered a new Era. (What Reg. era is it? Do people even keep track still? Or do we call them rounds?)

World News

The top spot has been held by various empires so far this round, The Obliterator #12, Fallen Man (Juska) #28, dark past (cloud) #15, and Firetooth #10 have all had the honors of being the top dog so far this round. The rest of the top 10 has been populated by early indies, although leader player seem to have just made their first effort to produce net. The majority of players in the top 10 are clanned, only two are running solo.
Current Standings:

1     ?     Fallen Man (#28)     14,486     $251,864,875     1     Rat     Northlands

Break up by race:

Players seem to be picking wolves and rats as there races of choice, both with 11. Stoats, foxes, martens, and wildcats have all made a good showing, each with 6-8, while there is one painted one and no Lizards.

Break up by strat (deduced from races):

Indies have made a strong showing over the past months here at RWL with the current races it's safe to say about a third of all players have chosen that route, the rest will most likely be leaders, but who knows what the crazy guy who picked painted one is up to. Once more it seems we will not be seeing any farmers or cashers in the game.

Statistics:

Most Offenses: The Obliterator (#12)    152 (98%)
Most Defenses: Firetooth (#10) 125 (1%)

Perfect Attacker: Dratini (#9) 57 (100%)
Best Defender: Uiblis (#38) 79 (22%)  [ Minimum 50 offenses/defenses]

Politics

Players have chosen to tag up it seems this set, 60% of the current 58 empires are clanned. In addition, 15 of 23 unclanned players are either still in protection of have entered vacation mode. It seems we may be in for a good clan war or two.

There are five clans that meet the 3 member requirement. Current standings:

On Top     1     5     $90,071,349     $450,356,745
Zanzibar Land    Z.L.    4    $31,008,440    $124,033,759
Empire Of The Phoenix    EOTP    6    $28,402,483    $170,414,900
Night Wolves    KOTW    7    $12,131,229    $84,918,603
The Alliance of dedicated warlords    Alliance    3    $5,284,927    $15,854,781

On Top, lead by returning veteran cloud is living up to it's name holding both the highest average net and highest total net. Three clans lead by big name members happen to fall under the 3 member requirement, but still should be watched for. Peace Alliance's BlackFly, Gen. Volkov's Woof, and Holby's Holbrook and Briggs. All of these are self-professed training clans, so if your in need of a few pointers I'd check them out. Lastly, we have the clan Me, a two man leader/indy operation with the net holder currently in third.

As of now plans seem to still be being laid, no clan has openly declared war on another or attempted to lock land, but I'd expect something to boil over soon as teams are finally solidified and net's become larger.

The Economy

The RWL economy is non-existent so far from all indications. The public market is getting some use from troop storers like always, but even the troops that fall below base mercenary prices are not being bought. Also, no food has been seen on the market so far this set. I'm sure a player with an entrepreneurial spirit could make some good profits if they tried.

[Gorak]

where's Ferret when you need him?

[windhound]

It is kinda funny how many people are clanned, and how many different clans there are

Nice breakdown Juska

[Juska]

Yes, the sheer amount of clanned empires is the most exciting part of this round.

If anyone wants to sell me food I'll buy it at $20 per unit, message me in-game Fallen Man #28.

[Shadow]

Holbrook and Briggs will take that contract

[Gen. Volkov]

BTW Juska, that was purely an attack for land, I just didn't have the troops to break. Sadly.

[Juska]

Don't worry Volkov, I just make sure to remember you when I hit everyone over 10k land on my next run.

[Gen. Volkov]

LOL. OK. Though in all likelihood, I won't be over 10k land by the time you run next.

So were mine.

[Ashyra Nightwing]

I just put some food on the market for $19 each... get it while it's there :O

Good work  ;)...though with 4 of those 5 being indying rats, it wouldn't be too difficult for someone to take them down...not that anyone really has a reason to do that just yet.

Which is why it's good to have a Marten/leader as the focal point.

But your marten isn't your focal point at all...two rats have around the same net as your leaderer, and the other two rats are holding about 100mil net each...and if you make your marten the focal point by passing him all the net, your goal of holding the top 5 spots will never be achieved  :P

It's a give / take relationship right now. Once things turn ugly strategies will have to change, thus are the rules of war.
