This was a Top N tournament run by Devon on 7-8 December 2013. There were only two new sides (ISI and Faithless), but they're first and fifth place.
ISI shows that a side with good tactics can win solidly without exploiting either giants or long range. Its fighters are the first active dodgers by anyone but Warren, and they're much simpler than Warren's (over)fancy implementation. They tend to stay in a group, which helps concentrate force, although it causes significant friendly fire. It also gathers food with force fields, showing that's still competitive. I'm not sure why it's so much better than RK and Active.
