GL in rebuilding dudes. You came in swinging and go out with your honor/dignity more then intact.

These statistics have been accrued over the last 3 days. Events occur in real time... Totals for the Original Front Commentary Pretty much no movement on this front. It gets pretty boring after a while to watch nothing happen. When nothing happens in the top tier it is advantage Equlibrium for what is happening below. Totals for Front 1 Commentary More losses for Aztec and co. while the other side stays the same. I don't imagine we are going to see this wrapped up anytime soon because you can only get so many wars out in a proper nuke cycle. We are talking maybe 9 wars involving the same nations from TOP and co. over and over. We will see if there is any movement in the coming days. Totals for Front 2 Commentary There was a sizeable drop in the 100k tier from CnG and co. with most of that coming from House Baratheon. While some of these nations land in the 80k range, some of them have just plain disappeared (one of them with the UCoN surrender). This is clearly advantage SF/XX/Aftermath for the day and we are back to square 1 again. In other news we have another 100k+ nation out into war mode with The Legion's own HockeyD13. We will see if he fares any better then the others, my guess is no. Totals for the Entire War Special Notes - UCoN has been taken out due to surrender (taking with them 1, 100k tier nation) - FARK has been cleared out for the second time this war. - An adjustment was made for the last update due to miscount to the tune of 2-100k nations for the SF/XX/Aftermath and co.

GL in rebuilding to the parties involved.

This is an "Upper Tier Tracking Thread". No where did I claim that it was an overall representation of the overall war. You might want to get your eyes checked before you criticize the hard work of others.

As far as I'm concerned I'm only covering the war from 80k NS and up. On this particular front we are talking about 6 nations vs. 13 nations in war mode. So yeah a 2 nation shift could indeed make or break this front.

Hit me with your best shot. Fire Away! Totals for the Original Front Commentary Throughout the time I've been tracking the individual fronts of this war I've noticed a few trends. One of which is, big alliances such as NPO and IRON are not taking the same kind of damage to their 80k tier as other alliances are. They seemingly get knocked out only to have another nation (sometimes one that was previously at war) buy up into that range. In this way their mid-upper tier is almost never ending and its interesting to watch the ebb and flow there while most other alliances are getting layed to waste. Some of this stems from a lack of war in that range. But some of it just stems from being who they are with never ending middle tiers with large warchests. This brings up another issue though and that is a lack of war. While some alliances are pushing all they can through to do damage, others haven't declared a single war in this range since I've been tracking. And with certain rumors going around that certain alliances have stopped engaging it makes you wonder, are these alliances done for good? Will they be left alone only to sit on my upper tier tracking page as a swath of upper tier nations that can do no good? We will see.... Totals for Front 1 Commentary What happens when you are down to your last chips on the table and you are not sure you have your opponents beat. What happens when you are down to the last quarter and you trail your opponent but are still within reach? This, folks, is coming down the final wire in the areas where I track now. While obviously the war can wage in different areas and at different tiers I like to think we are getting to a point where its crunch time. Every move will be amlified and your mistakes analyzed so that after the game everyone will point and say that could be why this front (or the war?) was won or lost. Its exciting to be sure. Well today we saw an Aztec and co. nation added to the 80k range and a TOP and co. nation get dropped down. Is this the biggest deal in the world as far as the entire war is concerned. Probably not. But for this front, it is everything and I think every nation that gets back up or drops from this point on could make or break this front. Totals for Front 2 Commentary This seems as good as any time to roll out the 100k+ tier watch for the Equilibrium coalition. We are down to 2. On the one had we have Evil Queen Natalie of FAN from the original front. She hasn't had a war as long as I've tracked (possibly the entire war) and is the favorite to retain the title. In the left corner we have newcomer and probably one update wonder, Dark Halo of Ragnarok from front 2. While this doesn't seem as exciting as the 120k range we fortunately have a royal rumble and anyone can join at any time! In other news, SF/XX/Aftermath and co. are back to losing 5 or more upper tier nations per day which is too many to sustain this war. They are already outnumbered 3 to 1 int eh 120k range and almost 2 to 1 in the 100k range. If it gets close to even at the 80k range it could be all over for who will win this front in the entire upper tier. Of course we've gone back and forth on this for the last couple of updates and each update it seems as if the other side has an advantage from the one previous. Good luck to those remaining! Total for the Entire War Comments - The Apparatus becomes the new addition of casualties to those who have been cleared out of an upper tier. They have no 80k+ nations remaining and are now "Cleared Out" Look for more alliances to be cleared out as we continue this journey. Until next time!

Sometimes in the night you hear whispers. Totals for the Original Front Commentary I don't have heaps of time today so I'm going to keep it short and simple. There was a massive build up from the equilibrium front of nations getting up into the 80k tier which prevented Competence from gaining any traction there. Furthermore, there was a decent amount of losses on the Competence side of the coalition. While four days ago we were talking about some fronts maybe being closed, today we might be talking about the inability of competence to close anything else down at all. These buyups are certainly a hindrance we will continue to watch in this thread. Totals for Front 1 Totals for Front 2 Totals for the Entire Front Sorry I couldn't be around as much today to comment. Got school. Take care folks!

While honorable this really isn't the move of a coalition that's "winning". NPO is just the alliance to get it done though.

Sometimes, when I really think about it.... No one wins.... Totals for the Original Front Commentary If I had to pick a winner today, I would give the slight edge to Equilibrium. Some of that has to do with buybacks from a nation here and a nation there. This is what will keep them afloat at the top probably. These individual nations from different alliances who continue to buy back up into range to get smacked down again but maybe taking a nation or two with them in the process. As long as that occurs its going to be very very difficult to make inroads into these 80k tier numbers as is witnessed by the non-existent drop in those numbers today. In other news some people must read my column from time to time as all 3 CoJ 100k+ nations got attacked and all 3 nations have dropped below for the time being. Soon we are going to be talking about the last nations in the 100k tier soon which is crazy to think about as we were just talking about Big Richard as the last 120k nation in war mode very little time ago. Totals for Front 1 Commentary Wowzers! is all I have to say about this front. Aztec and co. are just bleeding nations out like its going out of style to have any nations in war mode above 80k. I don't think this will continue but who'd have thunk 2 weeks ago that this front would drain so quickly. I think someone said it right when they said that there might be no big nations left on this front by the end of this war. Yikes. Totals for Front 2 Commentary Some alliances take their time when they go to war only putting a few nations out at a time and going about it really really slow. And then there is the Apparatus. The Apparatus was the last alliance to enter this war and my did they go fast. You can see them as a new alliance on my second update with 7 nations above 80k and 2 of those nations above 120k. Most of those nations started out in peace mode as well. Today they are down to not only their last war mode nation but their last nation total above that threshold. Good luck Oloros, the odds are stacked against you. In probably more important news NG took huge losses on both the NG and their satellite AA's that I track which shows in the stats as a 7 nation drop for the whole front. They can't take those kind of losses while SF/XX/Aftermath doesn't. This front is back into a gridlock place where I don't know which way it might go. Sooooo.... I will just leave it at that. Totals for the Entire War GG to the Pirates of the Parrot Order who has been cleared out of all nations above 80k. Its been some time since we've seen a nation added or deleted.

Good looking crew there :)

It might be more ideal to due the tiers by NS declaring ranges but not only would that require more work it wouldn't really capture anything super different imo other then the numbers in each tier would look different. Furthermore, I think its pretty obvious that the Competence Coalition is clearing tiers by 10k NS ranges and that's kind of what I'd like to go by as it captures what they are trying to do so even my 20k NS ranges are a little wide. That being said it would get a bit unreadable if I had so many tiers. As far as capturing lower tiers though it would require a lot more work (as Equilibrium has a lot of nations there) I would do it if that range were starting to be contested. As it is right now its in question whether even the whole of the 80k+ range is being contested atm. If the answer to that question comes back as a yes the 80k tier range is starting to come under control by Competence I will then start tracking lower NS ranges on certain fronts.

Drink with me to days gone by friends... Totals for the Original Front Commentary We saw a fair amount of nations (comparative to the amount of nations were tracking now.) either fall or enter by some other means into the 100k range of DH and co. At first look you look at the losses in the 120k tier and if you are Equilibrium give a fist pump or if you are Competence Coalition you shed a tear. But really this is a positive thing for the competence coalition given the 100-120k tier is a place they are lacking enough nations to hammer down into the 80k range. The more nations that are added into this tier (even by dropping) the more chances will increase that we will continue to see the Equilibrium 80k tier decrease in bigger and bigger numbers. The flip side (there is always one) is these nations are no longer considered "saved" and have a legitimate chance of being pulled down and in some cases this is re-bought infra which can be costly. Totals for Front 1 Commentary We have a winner! Congrats to Front 1 for being the first front to actually have a day where the 100k tier is cleared. Do I think this is the last 100k+ nation we will see on this front or any front in war mode? Absolutely not. I maintain that nations will continue to come out peace slowly and buy back up into range to hit the higher tier nations. Now TOP and co. have a chance to just focus on the 80k tier. We will see if this translates into larger losses or results in any infra buybacks to try and get up into the tier. Without either of these I am afraid we are seeing the end game of this tier already and will be stuck at about 10+ 80k nations that can't be touched in war mode and ~ 5 "saved" nations on this front. Totals for Front 2 Commentary Oh boy. Just like that things go back to normal in the 120k+ range. As it stands Big Richard will be the last nation to have touched that range. We will see if that holds as there are very few nations who now have the potential to get into that range and probably very little willpower to get massacred like these nations have been. A few updates ago I commented how this front was the most fair of the three fronts that are a apart of this war. Let me say now that CnG and Co. are on the verge (I don't think they are a lock by any means) of making this their front. SF/XX/Aftermath cannot continue to sustain larger losses everyday and hope to hold this front at the 80k tier. They are only up by 20 nations as it is right now in that range and they are starting to get more and more out-numbered in the 100k range. If this same trend continues we might be looking at a completely different front if this war continues another two to four weeks. This remains the one front that is most intriguing on how it will look at the end of the war. Total for the Entire War

You hit me down but I just keep coming back... Totals for the Original Front Commentary It seems like each update we go back and forth between who is taking the bigger loss of nations in the upper tier. Today we go back to Equilibrium. The losses on this front weren't large and compared to other updates actually quite lackluster. I'd like to try to explain why. Certain AA's are just simply being fought harder against then others. For instance there has been a drop in the 100k tier on this front on almost a continuous basis leading you to believe that the loss in war mode nations are uniform. But when we look at each individual alliance involved it tells a different story. Currently there are 4 nations in war mode in the 100k tier. Each of these 4 nations have been in war mode and on the same AA without wars for the duration of my updates. Three of them reside in the CoJ AA and the other on FAN. The 80k tiers in those same alliances tell almost the same story. On the flip side when an AA like Ai releases a nation into war mode they are immediately beset upon and by the next update i find myself knocking that nation out of the 80k range. So it is interesting to see if this story will continue from here. Totals for Front 1 Commentary There wasn't really a drop from either side on this front (with the exception of the 120k+ nation of TORN getting dropped heavily) and TOP and co. actually experienced a gain in nations in the upper tiers. I suspect that this is a calm before the storm from looking at the war picture as a number of wars just started and hold the potential to drop a number of nations on both sides. I can only hope to give you such excitement. Totals for Front 2 Commentary Those nations above 120k never last long do they. Just last update we said hello to Arianna of TORN and Chiles of The Apparatus. Now we are waving goodbye to those two as they descend downward towards the 80k tier and beyond. We do say hi to another brave soul at the same time. Today's lucky winner is Big Richard of The Apparatus who is already beset with 3 wars. I suspect he will be dropping as well by the next update. In other news we saw a sizable drop from the SF/XX/Aftermath and co. side in all tiers. They simply cannot take that beating and hope to survive above that range. This remains the most fair fight above the 80k+ tier but still a complete swarm below it. While all fronts are interesting, this particular one has intrigued me because I feel like there is a legitimate chance that given time this front will look completely different. My famous line - Only time will tell. Totals for the Entire War No alliances coming in or getting cleared out today. Until next time :)

It's the Equilibrium War. The reset war will be reserved for when the neutrals are finally attacked.

oh my...

This war certainly has ebbs and flows doesn't it? Totals for the Original Front Commentary If Friday's update was considered good for the competence coalition then this update certainly was the exact opposite. The original front was the best front for the competence coalition this time around and it still wasn't pretty. Ai continues to lose anyone that let into war mode that applies to this tracking. IRON experienced a decent drop for the first time since I've started this thread. But other then that we continue to remain in a stagnant place of the "Super Nations" being far too big to attack into the 80-100k range. We have 9 Doombird Doomcave members above 120k NS and out of all of them they are keeping 4 nations at war right now. This will either be a defining week for the war where we see a swath of these type nations willing to sell things to stay in the war or an impasse where we see the occasional up declare by Aeternos Astramora or come of peace mode by a high level nation but no actual movement at these levels and no actual inroads below that. Totals for Front 1 Commentary Props to 2 new nations that have entered into war mode in deep space (120k+) for Equilibrium. One comes from front 1 while the other hails from front 2. It will be interesting to see how fast they get picked up and knocked down. For now though congratulations to Arianna of The Order of Righteous Nations and Chiles of The Apparatus. Welcome this ugly game of survivor you have both entered to. In other news TOP and co. have suffered from a general AA switching and hammer from the other side to lose 8 nations with 11 remaining on that front. Maybe they have entered into their own game of survivor? Totals for Front 2 Commentary On most fronts but especially on this front we see a general war moding, AA switching back to the homeland and buying up from a lot of Equilibrium nations which keeps their numbers high and impassable. While some might see buying back into a range where huge nations can hit you as a bad thing, it does make it does prolong the way for Competence to eat down into the lower upper tier. The longer that takes, the longer their nations who could buy up into that range will burn and possibly get knocked out of that possibility. So this can only be considered a bad omen for the Competence coalition if it continues. Totals for the Entire War Until next time.

I've decided to unveil a new stats update that I will unveil on my off days that I do not do the upper tier tracking. I currently track 63 AA's as part of this shindig (with more that are below the thresholds) and I've decided to shine light on some of them in what I'm coming to call; The Alliance Spotlight Each day I update this it will be with a new (randomly picked by random.org) alliance. We will take a look at their wars, consistencies and overall how they are doing this conflict. Keep in mind this isn't meant to offend anyone, just a fun way to pass the time during an otherwise slogging war. Hopefully this provides some new insight into how individual alliances fight wars compared to others. So without further ado lets spin the wheel!

What a great name to start off with. And they get the honor of being the first alliance we look at individually during this war. To give you some history for this war Mortal Wombat was one of those alliances that went balls to the wall to start off their war against Death Before Dishonor and forwent extensive use of peace mode. Whether they would make the same move or not we can see that it resulted in a extensive Ns losses to the tune of over half their NS which is among the leaders of losses in this category assuming they don't use extensive AA switching. Now though we are seeing a very different picture. There is an extensive peace mode (which we will see in a lot of alliances) use and a lot less warring going on. MW also holds one of the lowest damage ratios in the entire war. I would be interested to know whether this is because of inexperience or because of being in an unenviable position during this current batch of wars. They do still hold a high enough nuke count to inflict some real damage though and time to turn that around. Like everything else in this war, time will tell what Mortal Wombat will make of their current wars. Like all alliances, we at this upper Tier tracking thread wish them luck.

Everyday, in every way, I am getting better... Totals for the Original Front What we see over the last two days is a lot of nothing happening. We had 3 nations on the DR and co. side fall from the 100k tier range into the 80k tier range. 3 Nations from 80k go down into the swarm. On the other side we have 1 nation falling from 100k to 80k and also someone switching from MK to DBDC (which produces no change in stats). If the war continues to happen at such a breakneck pace we might have a verdict sometime in August. All kidding aside, it seems we have reached either a lull or a stalemate this war. Things are not moving as quickly today as they have been, especially on the first two fronts. I believe this tends to benefit both sides in a way. Firstly, if no one is attacking at these levels that means that DR and co. nations that have been knocked down are able to collect more and more money and buy back into range while the nations on the DH and co. side of things are in the meat grinder (Below 80k). On the other hand this means that the 80k+ nations of DH and co. are able to restock nukes in order to give it another go. I'd say the advantage goes to the Equilibrium side in this type of exchange and the pressure is on the Competence coalition to make inroads. If they don't make inroads they risk their superior tech nations that have been knocked down to not eventually buy back up into a range that keeps them above the fray. Totals for Front 2 Its all speculation at this point but this might be where both coalition want to apply the pressure. This is the smallest front by far and seeing zero's all the way down the board for either coalition could be demoralizing. The problem is how to go about applying this pressure. Even though the war is very intertwined on all fronts this front remains one of the more secluded ones with most wars staying in the front. In other news I fear we are saying goodbye to TSO in tracking as this is the second update all their nations have been knocked below 80k and they don't have anyone close to buy back anymore. Something I do want to discuss though is buying back up above the threshold. Today we saw the nation of the Lummerian Empire make a buy back up to 130k ns. This pretty much keeps him out of range of any nations wanting to bring him down on the other side and gives him a chance to restock nukes. But by the time these types of nations restock nukes they will be out of range of anyone they can attack. This goes for almost all nations above 120k, even the ones that didn't rebuy. The question will become how many of these nations will be willing to sell off ns in order to down declare into the 80-100k range? Without their help I fear we are looking at an impassable wall in this range for Equilibrium. What that translates into as far as victory or defeat will be determined by coalitions but it certainly isn't a good thing for the Competence coalition if they reach a block. Totals for Front 2 CnG and Co. obviously benefit from the entrance of HB and Hooligans on this front. This becomes an almost even front even towards the bottom ranks especially when SF/XX/Aftermath and co. featured a 13 nation drop in that range in two days. That number is not likely sustainable but it isn't good for the Equilibrium side of the war to be seeing any inroads made at this tier. This front from a Competence viewpoint is still going to suffer from nations being too big to attack down into that 80-100k ns range. It will remain to be seen to see how much these nations are willing to part with in order to help their alliance mates or even if they know this is probably the strategy for them to win. The HB and Hooligans on one alliance also shines light on something that is specific to this front. There are a lot of AA's that are only at war with 4 or fewer AA's and therefore cannot do damage across the spectrum. Nordreich is the most apparent of these as they have nations that will be held to doing nothing on this front without re-declaring or being declared on when it comes to the upper end of the war. And the war goes on.... Totals for the Entire War Special Notes: - House Baratheon added to Front 2 for Competence Coalition - Hooligans added to Front 2 for Competence Coalition - The Sweet Oblivion removed from the battle. They have been "Cleared Out" I decided I will be unveiling my new thing as a special update tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

lol you caught me. I suppose I meant for all intents and purposes :p

I'm guessing this has dire consequences for FARK. We'll see in a day or two.

Getting to the nitty gritty of this war... Totals for Original Front Commentary: And just like that the last 120k+ nation in war mode falls. This is not likely the last nation in this tier we will see in war mode BUT (and I say this in all seriousness) I am doubting that many of the infra heavy nations currently sitting in peace mode are going to want to come out of war mode just to get hit by a so-called super nation that no longer has any nations to destroy now that they have cleared out that level. That being said Equilibrium as a whole has a decent amount of nations that can buy into that range if they truly want to. These nations come in the form of RnR's Darklordtim and IRON's Matt Miller among others. What are the implications of this going forward? Well... tbh I don't think anyone on either side thought otherwise. But going forward there are three implications. 1. Any nation who cannot buy below 160k NS will not be able to find a target. They will be rendered irrelevant for the duration of the war except to hold those nations in peace mode and knock down anyone who tries to buy up. 2. These nations in peace mode are now for all intensive purposes out of the war. If they choose to come out later they will be intentionally losing a round of wars (which will likely be a 3v1) and huge swaths of tech and ns to the super nations. The implication here being while 6-8k tech isn't a lot above 100k, it is a decent amount when you get down to 80k. Now it would take too long and they would take too much damage to make it worth it to get knocked down.So this is probably GG for these nations. 3. There is officially an NS tier that Competence nations can buy up to and not get hit. It is essentially peace-moding without actually going into peace. We will take a look at this level as nations continue to get knocked down. This level could become relevant in the future as the more nations above this threshold the more nations that will be "saved" by buying up. This war has officially moved down (where I think the war is more interesting anyway)! Totals for Front 1 Commentary: Aztec and Co. held on from getting cleared out for a round of updates and I have a feeling they are going to last another while longer. This probably goes for all fronts. The numbers look really low just a glance for all fronts but there are nations that can easily rebuy into this range with no problem over and over again by just buying up to 2-3k infra and some nations just aren't being DoWed on. These nations tend to just sit there without declaring or being declared on. In other news Genland (which is discussed above) came home and is now sitting on the TOP AA which is why they gain a nation in that tier. OTR took a heavy beating to their 100k tier as they lose both their nations in that range. On the other side of things Aztec and Co. continue to use heavier and heavier use of peace mode. While they gain 1 nation in war mode @ 100k, they lose 5 at 80k. If they continue to do this they aren't going to risk not only getting run out of war mode in the 100k tier but also the 80k tier as well. Again time is the biggest factor here and this front might tell what happens in the greater picture. Totals for Front 2 Commentary: Wow, is all I can say. SF/XX/Aftermath and co. came very very close to losing the race to clearing out the 100k tier nations in the short term. While it probably wouldn't signify much in the long term it would be a huge morale hit to this front that had 7 nations in war mode 2 days ago. Just at a glance (seem to be using that saying a lot today) it looks like CnG and co. are going to lack the 100k and 80k tier nations to clear out the 80k level on this front. It will be interesting for sure. This brings me to a point of what we will see in the days coming forward. And in two words its - not much. The reason for this is because the Competence forces are likely to start in on the 90-99k tier before they hit the 80-89k level and those nations just simply have longer to fall to get out of the tiers I have chosen. I will be paying close attention to the number of 90k vs. 80k nations over the next couple updates and even if it doesn't show up in my stats you will here a comment or two on if there is damage being done. Lastly, today we saw a lot of buying back up on the Equilibrium side to the 80k range as some alliances were boasting a gain in that range without a drop from another place. On the other end of the spectrum there was a lot of AA switching back to the home AA on the Competence side from alliances I wasn't tracking which inflated their numbers a bit. These numbers continue to be interesting and I look forward to seeing what these alliances have for us in the future. Totals for the Entire War Special Notes: - Welcome back FARK! Who regains an 80k nation and tracking status. - Look forward to my next update in two days for a new section of commentary which I think could be fun :)

Thank you very much :)

Another two days have passed and the war wages on... Totals for Original Front Commentary A big shout out to Scifos of the Guru Order for being the only nation in the equilibrium coalition above 120k NS that is in war mode. I say this considering he/she wasn't in war mode two days ago and it takes some cahones to be in the only nation within range of an array of super nations. In other news, while the Competence forces remain strong above 100k, you will notice that in the 100k-120k NS range they took a beating over the last two days. This apparent not only on the original front but on front 2 as well. I believe that the Competence coalition will have to do a lot more with their 120k+ NS nations if they want to save their 100k nations in order to smash down the next tier down. If everything stayed as is right now as far as peace mode is concerned then some of the huge nations from DBDC and MK are going to be out of this war quite soon. The corollary to this is the 120k+ peace moders from Equilibrium will be as well and they will have given up building above a certain threshold. Totals for Front 1 Commentary Again commenting on the extensive use of peace mode. Equilibrium forces have been letting out their peace mode warriors very slowly. And by very slowly I mean not quick enough to replenish their forces at certain thresholds. If that continues to be the case then this front will have the potential to be the first front to get the 100k-120k range cleared out. We've come to expect no war mode nations above 120k NS but we have not seen that at the 100k-120k range. It will be strange because TOP and co. is completely outnumbered. This of course doesn't tell the story of why these nations are in peace mode. There is a lot of speculation as to why and the prevailing theory seems to be that obviously this war has a lot of crossover between fronts and it isn't clear cut and dry. Anyone who looks at war screens for any allotment of time would agree. Therefore, these nations would be in range of other fronts where the super nations could lay waste to anyone in war mode above a certain NS. I also believe that I might be a little off (and due to the small numbers way off) on the snapshot of this front on the TOP and Co. side. I think TOP like its coalition mates in Umbrella, NG and MK is using AA switching as a tool. In this update I saw a 100k-120k ns nation drop to the 80k range only to be replaced by a nation who switched. I can attempt to find these AA's but only time will tell how this front pans out. Totals for Front 2 Commentary This is and continues to remain the front with the most destruction in the top tiers. This should come as no surprise since this is also where a majority of AA's are fighting. But things are not as rosy as they appear in today's update for CnG and Co. They benefited from a lot of AA's being added as NG AA's which is why we see a 120k+ nation being added and a plethora of 80k+ nations being added. That being said, like in the original front CnG and Co. bled out some 100k-120k NS nations and some 80k-100k nations. While that might not effect the current war effort it certainly diminishes future aspirations of being able to make inroads on the massive 80k-100k tier. The old saying goes you need 200k nations to attack 150k nations, 150k to attack 120k, 120k to attack 100k and forever. ASTERISK* This isn't and has never been a saying. In conclusion the war effort tilted a bit in the Equilibrium favor over the past two days even though they continue to peace out huge swaths of NS leaving others open for attack. Totals for the Entire War Special Notes -United Equestria was moved from the Original Front to Front 1 because most of their wars are with TOP. This constituted 1 - 80k Tier Nation -Added NG satellite AA's including FOK, Team Rocket, Hydra and SLCB to Front 2. This turned out to be 1-120k+ nation and a lot of 80k Tier nations -Added The Apparatus to the Front 2 -Deleted FARK from Front 2 - They have been (Drumroll) CLEARED OUT of any nations above 80k A Postscript from the author After only two days of this I realize that picking 80k, 100k and 120k as thresholds, while flashy, is completely arbitrary and should be taken as such. In the future I might widen the thresholds and divide them further in order to better capture the war. It seems ridiculous to have just a 120k+ Range when many of those nations can attack the 100k NS Range and many cannot. So in the future it might look a little different. But for the next couple updates expect this to remain the same.

Obviously something like this is going to be flawed if you can't find Umb/MK/NG off shoot AA's. They aren't taking as much damage as your charts claim they are. :) Other then that I totally am loving the charts.

this is great. Glad you took the time to do this.
