Event Details:

Schedule:
Date: Saturday - 4-23-11
Time: 7:00pm Eastern
Server: Balion War Room
Time Limit = 2 full hours of playtime
Passwords will be announced Friday.  As before Balion's side will login to the server 20 minutes early.  Defending side assemble your team 15 minutes early on a seperate server to ensure your numbers are correct.  At 5 minutes till 7:00 the password will be changed to the Defenders pword to allow them to begin logging on.  This will ensure not too many, or too few will be on either side.

Format: This will be will be a Tug-o-War format, but modified.  The event will begin with a Frontal Assualt on Tier 1.  The next will be a Port Assualt on Tier 1.  The outcome of these will affect how the attackers will attempt to take Tier 2. 
If both Tier 1 attacks were successful, the attackers will choose which point they wish to attack Tier 2.  The attackers also provide themselves with 2 chances to take Tier 2, if needed, by successfully taking both the Frontal and Port Assaults on Tier 1.  If the attackers successfully took one side of Tier 1, but not the other, they will only be allowed to attack Tier 2 from the side they successfully captured.

Teams: Great response coming from the community which is greatly appreciated.  Of course, with the more clans we have the faster all the slots get filled.  Also the issue of pairing clans to not create an one sided fight which is difficult as well.  My thoughts are to keep the larger groups together on the defending side and the smaller groups on the attacking side.  Defending will actually be a challenge this time so this will aid in keeping a balance.

Current Pairs w/ allowed slots:
Nords Attacking:
Balion - 12
TMW - 6
WK - 6
TBD,PTK, Various Mercs - 6

Rhodoks Defending:
GK - 12
POM - 8
PRT - 10

So if you are wondering how the MultiClan Match went, here it is.

We won overall 8-7.  Seems close but we kinda loosened up on the last two rounds after securing the victory.  Our last round was a "Everyone Cav" charge that was pretty awesome.

Good stuff to all who participated and who may have missed it, take pride that we beat PRT, POM, and BKS.  We retain our undefeated status against PRT, continue to show our dominance over the PAMMIE WHAMMIES, and send a big snub to BKS who frankly think they are better than us.  BAH! 

Screenies cuz it happened.

Tug-O-Warband: Was tested this past Friday with great reviews.  Questions were answered and slight modifications were made to enhance it.  What is it is a flowing form of battle that advances in to a specific goal.  It is in a since, a simple campaign of battles that lead to the overtaking of an enemies castle.  It is meant to substitute an advance campaign and provide a change to the current battle format.  Think of it as two factions invading each other's lands until one side is conquered.

The Process  : At the beginning of a match a faction (Nords, Swadia, ect) is chosen by each side.  Each faction has specific maps that have been assigned to them and are listed below. 

Nords : Plains > Port Assault > Nord Town > Castle 4
Swadia : Plains > Field by the River > Ruins > Castle 3
Rhodoks : Plains >  Ruined Fort > Field by the River > Castle 3
Vaegir : Plains > Battle on Ice > Snowy Village > Castle 1

The battle begins on a Random Plains(medium).  One round is fought on Random Plains.  After one round the map is changed to the next map in the rotation.  In the example below Team 1 is Nords.  Upon winning on Random Plains it will advance one step closer to Team 2's castle.  The next round will be fought on Ruined Fort, as that is Rhodok's next map leading to it's castle.  If Team 1 wins that round, the next round is fought on FbtR.  If Team 1 loses that round, the process returns to Random Plains.  The process continues in a power struggle, "tug of war", until a clear victor is shown by capturing the enemies castle.


The idea is continued until one side emerges victories.  In most maps the spawns will be determined by who is the "attacker" and who is the "defender" depending on which way the campaign is going.  With this premise in mind Master of the Field wins will not count as a victory except on Random Plains.  In essence one faction is defending their lands and Master of the Field eliminates a large amount of defensive strategies.

Search and Destroy has been implemented before a Siege assualt that will have a map reflecting the outcome.  If the defending side successfully destroys the attackers siege equipment, the castel will reflect this by having no damage to it done to it's walls or access points.  This provides a large incentive to succesfully attack/defend the equipment.
Map choice for Search and Destroy = Ruins
