Round Summary
Round 28 began with 3 alliances considered as the main contenders for the #1 spot, Conspiracy Theory, Newdawn and Ascendancy. Initially CT and Ascendancy moved out in front but before long Ascendancy were in firm possession of the top spot. Ascendancy, working with Carebears, TGV and Rock at different times to roid CT and other galaxies, were far ahead of the other alliances militarily speaking. Utilising the favourable game mechanics of feudalism and a heavy Xandathrii alliance they were very difficult to target en masse. While CT were consistently hostile to Ascendancy, as well as alliances such as Vengeance, the gap increased. ND joined the conflict in an attempt to bring down Ascendancy, a move which they announced here, but a block of CT, ND, VGN and VisioN proved short-lived, at least in terms of effectiveness, and despite some short-term roid losses Ascendancy were able to keep their value lead and defeat their opposition to claim their third alliance round win.
