K541 - The Story so Far [Part 1]


HOW WE MET
My game tag is Evka, and my friend and partner is Porschechic.

Doll, PurEvil and Porschechic were our competitors in our second ever Alliance vs Alliance event over at Guns of Glory.

It was GreenMFMachine, Sparta and I, against 5 other kingdoms. Bride, who was the rotational leader of Porschchic's alliance, and Sparta, who was the Main leader of our Alliance KLB in K115 - stuck a pack to work together and claimn the top two positions

Porsche and I just instantly clicked, and needless to say, it was a first and second place victory, by a considerable margin. I think i knew, just what an awesome person Porsche was, when our Champion "Sparta", went into beast mode, and absolutely flattened Porsche [ Accidentally, I must add]
There was a pause for 2 minutes..... Sparta apologized, and Porsche responded with "Accidents happen"

I would have been upset, ........Many of us would have been upset. But she didn't care, she auto healed, and went straight back to fighting for our cause.

Sparta and our team proceeded to win the next few AvA's, but it just wasn't the same.The victories were hollow..... 
I wanted to play with Porsche....: and I still wanted to honor Sparta... A player that I grew to love and respect. Loyalty to him is all I knew... 
He was the reason I logged on every day... that I stayed through the hard times.....

So, I just had to start another account on Porsche's server and told her that I was going to create a farm with her... and watch her play.  After a few weeks, I was around level 20 - 21, but I felt, I was too far behind everyone in an established server. I needed a new challenge, one that I could share the experience... with my friend.... or just relax and meet new people..... I started on KOA K541....

KOA K541
Over the first 2 days, I just wanted to get a feeling for the server, Was this the place that I should start? Should I stay..... How were the people, the dynamics of the peopler.... were there any huge spenders? 
I just built the castle to around 12 - 13... not sure if it was the right move or not... but I left, and only came back a few weeks later... I was bored... I was tiered and needed to ignite the flame within me.

Not knowing what i should do, i approached KC and watched as they conversed each other... Joker happened to be on, and I remember that he was witty enough to make me laugh, was full of life, talked smack to the so called bigs, and most of all was respectful to others. 
I want to join an Alliance, his alliance.. so I looked at their ranking.. "Alliance Rank 9"
Perfect, this was a team that did not care about been the best, they just wanted to play together and have fun.

ALLIANCE UNW
I wanted to be with the underdogs and I needed a challenge. I sent a Shout out.... 

"I am looking for an alliance, If you are in the top 5... don't bother with trying to recruit me"

Joker responded "Join us".. 
Then someone else responded, " Joker, you are suppose to be recruiting for us", to which joker said " This one is mine, we like her" Challenge accepted.

There were two others that caught my attention at UWN, the leader "Cal", and his 2IC, "Real".  Real played the way I liked to play, Smart, organized and Compressed. He seemed to know what he was talking about, was experienced and had tactical know how. I loved it ... we were the underdogs, and I had found a home.

After a week, I was made R4, probably because I could answer a few questions that others couldn't. I am not the chatty type, actually like to stay away from drama... and just keep my conversations to a few people.


ENTER PORSCHE 
I told Porsche I was playing KOA, and she immediately asked if she could join to see what it was all about. I agreed, but "don't go crazy … Don't spend too much, we just here to relax and chill in the kingdom."

I was still playing GoG at the time, and that is were i spent most of my gaming budget for the month. The thing about Porsche, she loves a big BBC... and when she saw the dragon [ And not the Blimp of GoG], she knew she needed a big one... so she started swiping.... My Gawd.... a level 54 Dragon, on a level 10 castle... it as so funny. 

Within a few Hours, her castle grew to the mid 20's [Top 3 at the time] and people began to notice her. Then she said it.. Evka are you not gonna grow with me? I thought "Gawd damn", do I have too?
I had just spent my monthly gaming budget and would have to wait until after KE ..... So Porsche stopped because of me ... but she worked on her stats


WWR SUB-ALLIANCE

I knew KE was around the corner, and then it happend.
Hale [Leader of WWR] had a fall out with Lorden, and started demanding that Cal [Leader of UNW] move his WWR sub alliance to her territory, and take up the fight with THF.

CAL showed us the Screen Shots, where Hale threaten us, and showed us, that HALE had basically said, "Either you are with us, or against us" I was so upset, the way she spoke to him in the message, this was a man that I started to admire ... and he gave the choice to the R4's. 1, Support the mad woman Hale..... 2. Support the war crazy Lorden.... 3. We step aside and become neutral.

The Call was made, we had selected 3, and wanted no part in and internal feud between 2 players that wanted to rule the kjingdom.
it was clear that Hale liked others to do her bidding, that she hide behind her so called United Kingdom. She wanted Lambs... She wanted us to be her meat shields. Everything she did was to avoid front facing reputational damage, and create back stage conspiracy and drama.


It was not even 24 hours later, when RAM ported to WWR, and burt down both Hale and Beef. She cried out in KC, that she had quit.... beaten and exhausted, she told everyone she had left the kingdom.

Killing Event - 1st Ever for K541
KE started, and THF & UNW were now allies. I was uncomfortable, so i did not take part... but it was at the time, Porsche ran at hale and Zeroed her. She had already healed most of her troops, and lost 100K., This was followed up by a hit from Real..... I wasn't proud of it ... I hate to see someone down and out, so I spoke to Hale for the first time.
I told her that Porsche had gained alot of respect for RAMROD, and wanted to test herself against the other bigs in the kingdom. That it wasn't a anything personal.... Her response was ... She is giving her account to Myst, and will not be participating in the kingdom, as she had personal things to attend too... Hale had Quit.

Lorden had this R5 room, where he was trying to run the Kingdom from. I was not part of it, but alot of what was said from a political perspective was originated out of there. Talk of killing off all Alliances not in the top 20 or 25 was discussed. Voted against [Declined]. Then Lorden added more sub alliances and revoted.... The kingdom was been run from a R5 room???? There was no Queen/King... only self proclaimed wannabes with huge ego's. I turned to Porsche, and I said ... lets go get the crown. The first one is the only one that matters... I been in enough wars to know how to win them... Unless 4 of the top 5 were on 1 side.... I can draw the war out for a week.. True story.

The Second KE was on its way... Hale had apparently quit, and Porsche mentioned she was speaking to Myst, who was the New leader of WWR. The plan was to advise THF, that we were going to go into KE as Neutral. But Lorden had spies in one of the rooms were the chatting was tacking place. I live by the principles, of no hitting outside KE, unless provoked, No tile hitting [Farms] and my word is my bond.. unless someone does something to place the relationship at risk. I am not an aggressive player. I try to play on value, and for those that i care about.

"Continued on Part 2"

Crown Event - Initial Strategy [First Draft - Subject to change]

Hi Everyone

These are my thoughts on how to tackle the first crown event

Firstly, we need to ensure that we are in the best position to be able to support each other.

Porsch and DaRich are our strongest statistically wise, and will need to position opposite each other, and in a position that they are able to sweep the towers.
Real & Myself have decent stats, and should be able to clear 95% of our enemies in the Kingdom.
Tiz is our only Level 30, and he is improving every day. Being a level 30, we need to ensure that he improves his embassy to match, so that he has the biggest reinforcement capacity.

My suggestion is to port in shielded and take the following positions:


We need to take minimal damage up front, so we need to make our move, only when the timer hits 4 hours, or the other alliances have a wait and watch approach.
Once we are in the above formation, we should only have 2 people sweeping initially.
Porsche, I think it is best if you purchase Shadow Dragon, so all your marches have the dragon.
I am not sure how ,many troops you are going to have, however, lets say you have 450K at the time of the throne.

- Send 1X full troop load to the sweeper that is active - When they receive your troops, they can unbubble, and they become the tower sweeper. If anyone is not online, they need to bubble, and send troops to those that are unbubbled in the throne vicinity. 

- Tiz might just wanna mess around and send 1000 troops to the throne, if the others hold back.
Porsche, for every 150K troops you have over 450k, will mean that an extra person can be unbubbled.

Objective
Sweep the towers and control them, if the throne is occupied by a threat... We can use the towers to kill and thin them over an hour or two... if they decide to go in by the millions. We then Mega sweep them on Porsches stats when they ready for the taking.

- If we hitting the throne, they are more than likely going to be mega garrisoned for a 4 hour period... As a last resort, we hit the throne with mega rally, if we are concerned that we are going to lose too many troops with a single attack.

- TIZ is vital part of our success [Now that Afgan has left] - when we control the towers... and the others are licking their wounds, we have a go to control the Throne... 

- Porsche will need to go in first to secure, followed by Tizz and everyone else.
- When the capacity gets reached, Porsche changes leadership to Tizz, so that we can ensure we have maximum people number of people. Porsche, can then leave and send 1 X Calvary back.

- Tizz can activate mega garrison, and change the leader at anytime to P or darich. 

- I think that, during this time, we need Darich online to sweep, and if we have a threat on the towers, Darich to send in 1 cavalary troop in order for tizz to transfer leadership, and P to go out and sweep the threat. On Darich's stats with 1 mil reinforcements, I don't think anyone will be able to knock him out of the throne. I can do the same if darich is offline. 

- When any of the sweepers enter the Throne, they should only send 1 Calvary. 1 is enough to transfer stats

- We make the forest our own, Castles that port in, that may be a threat, need to be hit. If they have anti scout, we need to mega.

- If any of the castles in the forest are mega'd, either we all reinforce, or use a port to move slightly to the side


Threat

Towers need to be occupied for 5 minute before releasing the trigger
Floki - Stats aren't as good as I thought
Hale - has Descent Stats
Fast Donkey - He may have something up his sleeve, but I don't think he is a big spender
Ram - I think he has fallen back, but still a top 3 threat
Waltz - Top 2 threat, but he is green, a good guy, but is Hales major weapon.
Diesel - Along with Waltz, is our biggest threat to the throne. He has played the game before... Will definitely be suited up to kill.... And I think that him being Zeroed was a ploy to make us feel at easy. He is their Yoda after all.... and THF and Lorden are banking on him taking this for them.

We need to try and get THF and WWR to take each other out first, but there may be a possibility that they are going to partner, so we need to be prepared. hale is already telling Lorden it was us that initiated the early hit..... Yes, it probably was, but wasn't she suppose to be away at the time? This woman is not to be trusted... Just my opinion.

Ensure that all castles 22 - preserve their troops, as they need to send in to reinforce with Level T8's and above.

- Any Questions or Suggestions?
