Opinion

Do you prefer war and fighting all the time? Or maybe something peaceful conducive for growing? Do you think your kingdom fights too much or not enough? How would you compare if you have never been on another kingdom?

This is our first attempt to come up with objective answers to these questions.

I compiled data from the top ten kingdoms in four different measures (in order of them being introduced to Westeros: power points, kills, Merit, and Alliance Conquest). One could add the War of the Kingdoms results, but I skipped that for now. I then compared all the kingdoms within a measure giving 100 points for having the best number in that measure, 50 for having half as many points, and so on.

Some kingdoms are in the top ten in all four, some in only one. Others are in two. K5 is an interesting example of the latter. Despite their power points being half or even smaller than the biggest kingdom, they have almost as much Merit. A warning to K19, or any other kingdom, should one or more of those soon-to-be-moving fighting alliances decide to make your kingdom home. Do not expect them to ask if they can move. They do not need your permission.

For kills and power points, I simply summed up the kills and power points of all the alliances listed on a kingdom’s alliance list. Kills is a somewhat questionable measure since you can get kills from eliminating Rebel Groups. However, it also reflects all the members of a kingdom, not just the top ones unlike the next two measures use.

Power points are also somewhat questionable since we know of very large cities that rarely bring their troops out (ie, museum armies). As more and more bonuses get unlocked (one city I know of has a 1100% bonus on some attacks), the power points of a city can be very misleading when evaluating whether you want to attack a city or run away from it.

For Alliance Conquest, I added the world top 100 Alliance Conquest rank points (viewable by owners of Level 25 castles) of every alliance of a kingdom. We do not have a complete list of all match results to fairly estimate non-top 100 alliances that is why they are excluded. This measure only covers the first two matches for now, but this list will be updated until the end of the season.

For Merit, I added the Merit points of all cities in a kingdom that have at least 10 million merit points (one of the two requirements to become ranked as an Advisor). This last measure gives a sense of the sometimes dominating power of big fighters.

Finally, I simply added up the points from all measures to come up with a total ranking. You may prefer to weight some measures more. There are few numbers, so you can easily copy them into your own spreadsheet. Once I learn what gadget or add-on would let me add customizable weights, you then can enter your own weights here.
