Well. Things we know:

1. Eren was given some sort of injection (presumable granting titan powers)

2. Connie noted the titan that couldn't have possibly been able to move looked like his mother, it also muttered "welcome back". At which Reiner also attempted to stop Connie from dwelling on it. This was around the appearance of the Ape titan.

3. The Ape titan can command dumb titans

4. There was a story about a man attempting to dig under the walls and finding out the walls go under the ground as well. The man also went missing (MP? or Titans?).

5. The Wallists know a lot and revere noble families.

6. Ymir spoke about wandering around for 60yrs (as a mindless titan I presume).7

7. Eren can now (at least) influence titans to do his bidding

8. There is a titan language (Ymir could read the can). And Titan language can be found inside the wall.

There's a whole lot more, but these in particular stand out to me.

I have a feeling that Eren did more than just command the titans to attack the Smiling titan. I think that he also (more importantly) has the ability to bring the humans back. He's the anti-ape titan. I believe the Ape titan is the origin of the titans, and Eren possesses the "saviour" ability.

I think it is somewhat obvious that the Ape titan created new titans from people in some of the villages in Wall Rose (hence Connie recognising his mother). Why he chose to do a random attack is beyond me. Perhaps the humans were actually able to capture him and imprison him for quite some time until recently (thus his not knowing about the 3d maneuvre gear), unlikely though.

As for the village outside the wall of Warriors. They don't necessarily fit in with my theory yet as ARB's initial mission was to eliminate the humans. I do not think they are villains though, with the Wallists it's implied with Pastor Nick that there are more important things than saving human kind...what that is, is beyond me also, but I imagine it has something to do with the noble families. That and the king is only ever mentioned, does he even exist? I don't think he does. The Wallists and Warriors are perhaps enemies, but not in the way the rest of human kind know it.

Also that story about the man digging under the wall continues to perplex me about how casually it was told...rather haunting I think.
