Since clan support was added to LittleWarGame in version 2.71, countless clans have been formed. Inevitably, some have been more successful than others. Here, I explore the top 5 clans based on the number of players within them. Hopefully the information provided will help you in deciding upon which clan is best suited to you. All clan player counts are correct as of the time of publication, and are subject to change.

5) Thunder Clan

Number of Members: 11

Clan Tag: Rusty

Clan Leader: Sk8ers4ever

The Thunder Clan are, according to their clan information page, ‘based off a book written by Erin [H]unter’. Their clan website provides a highly detailed ‘clan code’, with loyalty to the clan given the highest importance: ‘you must stay loyal to your clan with even your life’. The Thunder Clan appear to be a clan for players looking to play with a fiercely loyal group who place a great amount of trust in the ability of fire to save their clan.

Number of Members: 17

Clan Tag: doot

Clan Leader: Aicy

Thank mr skeltal are a clan, founded by LittleWarGame’s number one player, set up in honour of ‘mr skeltal’ and his miraculous fighting ability within the game. As the clan page outlines, the skeleton unit has undergone a number of buffs in recent patches (it, however, fails to recognise the subsequent nerfs to the unit – lengthened casting time and a reduced casting range).

Clan leader Aicy uses the clan page to great effect, providing a number of links to both the clan logo and a comprehensive document detailing the numerous reasons one can benefit from joining the clan. Clan members are also invited to ‘thank mr skeltal’. Thank mr skeltal is a fantastic clan for those who are tired of playing with beast units and do not want to be spooked or betrayed.

3) Watashi Wa Kawaii Desu

Number of Members: 21

Clan Tag: QTPie

Clan Leader: YummyBlaBla

Watashi Wa Kawaii Desu, founded by LittleWarGame’s second best player, is (according to the clan page), a clan ‘for smurfs and refugees and pets’. In addition, they claim to be the best LittleWarGame clan. Other than this, there is not a lot to say. Their clan page features two humorous quotes from LittleWarGame player ‘Mage’, but provides few other details. The clan is ideal as a place for keeping secondary accounts or for those wishing to be affiliated with the second best player in the game, but, unfortunately, not a lot else.

2) Defenders of Wofendom

Number of Members: 27

Clan Tag: Wof

Clan Leader: NotForMeClive

The Defenders of Wofendom (Wof) Clan have a rich history. The original ‘big clan’, their name is derived, legend has it, from a misspelling of ‘wolf’. Led LittleWarGame’s friendliest player, the clan is united by a devotion to playing a beast unit style known by members as ‘sending wofs’. Unlike most other LittleWarGame clans, Wof Clan is a way of life for many members, who are fully committed to the Wof cause. In addition, they are the only clan to hold extremely testing trials for prospective members. As their clan page stipulates, applicants ‘must demonstrate exceptional tactical awareness and knowledge of various decent strats, whilst delivering a consistently high actions per minute (APM) during the trials process’. There is no doubt that Wof clan is LittleWarGame’s most elite clan. The clan is ideal for highly skilled fans of the beast style of play who would like to be part of a community of players that also comprises the game’s most controversial player (xccam) and the game’s developer (jbs). It is also worth noting that the clan maps – Wofs on Tour, the Wofs on Holiday series and the forthcoming Wofman Frenzy v4 – are of the highest quality, and ideal for beginners and experts alike.

1) Apex Predators

Number of Members: 60

Clan Tag: Wolves

Clan Leader: Satomi (originally current [doot] clan member Mage)

Way out in the lead in player count are the Apex Predators. Formerly known as the Wolves clan (hence the slightly confusing clan tag), they are without doubt the most popular clan LittleWarGame has seen to date. Founded by the popular player Mage, they rose to prominence after eclipsing Wof Clan’s player count, finally reaching a member base in the high 50s. Although they saw a decline in members in the aftermath of Mage’s controversial departure, they have since gained a number of new players. The clan has not been short of criticism. Some have suggested that many in the clan’s ranks are ‘smurf’ accounts, or inactive players, given the fact that it is rare that many Apex Predator members are online simultaneously. This can be explained very easily, however, by the fact that the 57 members span the entirety of the world’s time zones, meaning that many are unlikely to be online at the same time. They are LittleWarGame’s first truly global clan. Their appeal, ultimately, lies in their accepting nature. As the clan page notes: ‘Apex Predators is basically a clan for the people who know the basics of LWG in the LWG community. Currently accepting all’.

Honorable Mentions

Here are some of the clans that missed out on the criteria specified above, but are worthy of a brief mention nevertheless. In no particular order:

Pancake Panda Society [PPS]: ‘New clan looking for people who know the basics of LWG’. Hold PPS clan training sessions on a regular basis.

Decent Strats [Decent]: Fundamentally opposed to meme strats. They claim to be an elite clan.

Cressheads [Cress]: For fans of cress. Allied to TanJReen and KlamKlan, among others.

Modding Nation [ModN]: Maps, mods, etc. Two members are LittleWarGame moderators.

Sirs in Reality [SiR]: Claim to be LittleWarGame’s first ever clan. Have a grand total of three members.

Wofs Clan Superior Clan [Wofs]: Impostors. Ignore.

Wof Clan Superior Clan [W0f]: See above.

Tournament Casters [Casters]: Have yet to cast tournament games.

The Carapace [Zerg]: HubbaHubba – one of LittleWarGame’s best loved players – is a member.
