The results are in from the week 1 poll, Marshal has edged Hellrush by a score of 19-14.

The people of AT have spoken, Marshal has a higher IQ than Hellrush.

For this weeks Poll, we ask the tough questions once again, Who is the best warring alliance in the game right now currently?

https://strawpoll.com/rjws4ogh3

Tune in next week for the results!

SoF disagrees with that statement, surely you're trolling, you already forgotten when LaF got hit in SoF's reunion set?, LaF was netting, surely you remember the outcome, yeah?

I think that was my second set in LaF... Very recently.

I agree with Chevs actually. Strange thing to write, I will cut off my hands now.

Theres no question LaF is a powerhouse when it puts its mind to warring and winning. Last time we warred as a whole alliance tho we were piss poor due to lack of interest and effort. That's why we are splitting tags these last sets so that those who want to war can do that and those who want to chill or net can do that.

In regards to the poll I think it leaves too little information to answer it. Are you suggesting we streamline SoF and SOL to Merc/Elders membership and they then fight? Do we let those alliances pick and choose who should participate? Or do we double Merc/Elders with present membership/activity? What you mean determines the outcome of the hypothetical war.

If SOL and SoF and Merc scale down to Merc size and fight it out then SOL will win pretty much hands down I will say. The best 17 of SOL are better than the best 17 of Mercs in every aspect of war; walling, hitting, prepping.
SoFs weapons are great stocks and fast kills and those speedkills will be considerably harder to pull off at 17 members than at 40-50 as in recent wars, further they are only 20 players now so they would only get to remove their 3 least active.
SoFs strategy should work a lot better if playing with another alliance, yet that has not manifested lately, for to me unclear reasons. SoF also keeps feeding getafix 1-2k defends every set for no reason. :)

If we duke it out at 30 members by adding 10 similar skill/activity members to SoF and 13 to Mercs it will be a considerably harder thing to call. Same if we scale down the larger tags at random instead of by selection. SoFs prep speaks for them but their speedkill dependency will be an issue again at low membership. Mercs pound for pound walling abilities have historically been unmatched which would make several of them unkillable in a 17vs17 war. Getafix also would not die vs 17. Too close to call in either of these scenarios.

All in all tho right now at present membership SOL would win 1v1 vs any other war tag, which makes them the best war tag.

Also being the best at ==> Arranged <== wars is anti-climatic for me. At least with the way war is at the moment.

My suggestion is to pick a date (before the set starts), and any tag who throws their name in the hat is open to be attacked: SS/PS/GS/AB/BR etc after that date. We could try to simulate classic Earth:2025 at least.

I think a land grab war would be fun too, maybe do some farming then kill? I don't know as I haven't thought out all the details, but I think war and conflict between alliances needs to be more organic otherwise its just groundhogs day al la Earth Empires set after set.

Early wars have been just that. They are far more of an artform than these late-wars.

Just because an alliance prefers to net, does not mean its not the top alliance when it comes to war.

When it comes to war, LAF is no 1. Laf has been number 1 for years. I can't remember a time since Son Goku's Leadership that LAF hasn't been the top warring alliance in the game. Someone please prove me wrong.

LAF also happens to be the best netting alliance in the game.

And as much as it pains me to say it, they're the best alliance in the history of the game.

Yes, LAF started off as a bunch of pansy ass netters. But over time they grew teeth. And under Hanlong/Son Goku, they combined the arts of diplomacy, netting, and war to become the dominant alliance.

Chevs, your poll is lacking.
I expect better of you:)

Yeah was not a troll vote. No Question when LaF selects 10-20 people who want to war they can do it well.

LaF is 40 people and the last time all of them warred it was not pretty...(maybe because they all listened to Gerd for strategy advice, it seems like last set he finally came around though..but i digress)

The point of the post I was getting at was like...say all tags were the same size lets say 20-25, and all had a homogenous memberbase like they do now, who is the best? I believe some people call this pound for pound.

The LaF warring tag didn't qualify for me because its different members each set, no doubt if they pick their top 15-20 warrers they could/may be #1. However, if LaF is 40 and you took some combo of 2/3 of the tags on this list to war them, (i.e SoF & Mercs, SoL & Mercs, Sol & SoF), at even numbers i don't see how they win. It would be interesting to see though!

IMO it was Elders 5-6 sets ago, SoF, 3-4 sets ago, and SoL seems to have the crown the last two sets, they are running massive countries with like 800 SPAL, and you can't CM them all. (1-2).

A 5 man war tag is obviously going to run different strat makeup than a 30-man war tag lol. I wouldn't expect you to understand that the market will be ruined for techers if LaF runs 30 techers. :)

The 30 man war that I didnt participate in Enshula played a 40k acre uninspired techer. I mean it completely speaks against LaFs warring motivation but it would be foolish to assume such an unispired pathetic techer is the best he can do. He is one of the best players in the game still, just decided to win FFA instead of play a good country in 1a for war. That sentiment was shared within the warring part of LaF that set.

If you take an unmotivated LaF we are second to all in war. A motivated LaF is a different thing entirely as you remember from some of those war losses you've racked up. :)

Tell you what; I have not lost a war in 1a in over 2.5 years, and you have not won a war in at least twice that long. The next poll should be who wins the war if we end up on the same side. Kind of unstoppable force meets immovable object sort of thing. :)

Same side? I knew you missed me! I appreciate the olive branch.

And if there's anything that can stop you, its my griefing.

But sadly, I don't think I'll be playing again for a while, until there's a) a real war, or b) some other strat can compete with FFO for rank 1.

I don't want to build a country for 45 days just to get chem rushed in 6 seconds, and I can't find a reason to netgain either with the state of the game/server
