AoDT--->Doom--->merged with CC. So AoDT is still partially alive.
No offence i never concidered SOTA an alliance.
BSS,THS,LaE/KA, Dynasty, Rome, Syn, TSE,EoEA are all gone without any direct decendents that i can think off of the top of my head.
Also take into accound ESDs come and gone, Mercs is new, salt is new, SF is new, ares is fairly new, PoD is newish.
If we go set to set using numbers that to break donw the balance of power: 250+countries=major player, 100-250 countries= has some influence and is a force, 50-100 countries is not that powerful but is probably involved in poltiics/a real clan. UNder 50 is small solo/2 member tags that generally dont shape too much
Clans with 250+ member, 100+ member, 50+ members
1st set: 1/5/11
2nd set: 2/3/9
3rd set: 2/5/6
4th set: 3/6/9 *TKO was almost 250 at 240something
5th set: 1/8/9 *LaE was barely 250 at 252, NBK and pan were close at 230,236
6th set: 1/7/9
7th set: 1/6/9
8th set: 3/6/7
9th set: 3/9/11
You can desingarlt see a trend. Early on lots of small tags, then they merged together, and now you arte seeing a bit of the strain on relations from that and some are branching off again.
I think FFA is in the healthiest state ever thatnks to the new clans. Ideally id say 3-4 clans in the 250-350 country range, with #1 to #2 being within 30 countries difference is ideal. The second tier ideally would be 6-8 large of clans between 100 to 200 countries, and then 3-4 small in the 50-100 range.
Obvioulsy when we grow the ideal balance of power will shift, as there will be more countries. But 1 clan up top (liek LaE for so long) isnt great. NBK and CC battling for power here is good for the server, and hopefully we can have 2-4 clans up top so no one clan can takeover and simply dictate what they want.
THats the opinion of a netter though, dont know if the warrers are different! But 9 clans with 100+ countries is great to see for a blaanced server!
I kinnda went on a tangent sorry m0b!
ps. those are set end numbers obviuously its slightly skewed. IE tag killed clans that dont CF will have lower numbers due to restarts not tagging etc.
