Only the 2nd-placed alliance (if they are in the block at all) would get the bonus roids. Of course you are right in that it would slightly empower the block more.

However if the percentage is at a decent level, there is a good chance the 3rd placed alliance wouldn't be in the block with the 2nd; if they did that, they would be helping 2nd place widen the gap between themselves (as only 2nd would get the bonus).

It would make more sense for alliance 3 to hit alliance 2 and then they would also get the bonus, therefore making blocks not as valuable as before.

Edit: I would actually believe it would make politics even more interesting as well. Say you had a NAP with another alliance and suddenly you're right behind them in the rankings. Do you take the risk of breaking the NAP and gaining those extra roids to leapfrog?
