AoZ is merging Nations
(date – 13 September 2024)

Read notes about this merging (merger) below the table!

Info:

The official email was sent on September 6.

The Chaosland event — on September 11.

Camel announced 24 world merges: 19 open nation merges and 5 Chinese nation merges. This may be the last phase of merges before the GC event. Last time Camel did only 2 phases and did not do any merges in May 2024.

Statistically, this is the average phase of merges. Not too many and not too few pairs to merge.

The merges in 2024 look like this (open + Chinese nations):

• January: 11 + 7
• March: 10 + 15
• April: 23 + 2
• August: 21 + 15
• September: 19 + 5

CONCLUSIONS:

• The youngest open nation to have received a world merge remains 1046. The absence of merges in the range of 1001–1100 confirms that this was an anomaly in August.
• Camel is nearing the completion of the first world merge phase for worlds 801–900. There are 12 unmerged nations remaining. However, nation 779 still has not received a world merge—a significant anomaly, as the nation will mark its 2-year anniversary without a first world merge.
• The main focus of world merges should now shift to the range of 901–1000, where new locally dominant nations might emerge.
• Since August, there have been many merges of Chinese nations. A very strong Chinese nation should have potentially emerged in the 800+ and 900+ worlds. Global Conquest will reveal their strength.
• There are 7 old nations waiting for their second world merge. This list is gradually shrinking. However, this is an odd number of nations. It will be interesting to see what Camel does with the nation that cannot receive an even merge with its neighbors. In Globes 4–7, most worlds have 5–6 nations, so the fate of merging an old world with only 3 nations is intriguing—this could set a new precedent for a non-standard world merge.
• There were some unclear issues with the merge of 594 + 608. Most players from the two worlds did not receive the official email about the merge. It seems that this message was sent almost a day after the announcement for other worlds. The email distribution system is also unclear (some received the message on farms). In this case, the official confirmation of the merge was the Chaosland announcement on Monday.
• Potentially, Camel has the opportunity to initiate another merge phase on October 11th. But the chances of this happening still seem low. It is likely that GC 12 Round 1 will begin on October 26th. In this case, new merges could take place in the final weeks of December.
