AoW - Scarlet Faction - Day 1 to 7

Season 3 of All-out War (AoW) began with great enthusiasm. Players couldn't wait for Season 3 to start, immediately diving into work. The first week was about familiarizing themselves with the map and the changes, which weren't too numerous after the 2nd season. Errors identified by players were swiftly fixed, setting a promising tone for Season 3. Once again, players were divided according to the power ranking of alliances into 8 factions with 3 alliances in each. Leaders had the discretion to determine faction membership, with only faction leaders automatically allocated. The Scarlet Faction once more included valiant warriors from DUM, now joined by players from WLB and TRg. Discover how these valiant warriors fared together during the first week of AoW by reading about Days 1 - 7.

DAY 1 - This day involved acquainting themselves with the map and the alliances competing for the Twin Dragon City. DUM, along with WLB and TRg, was assigned to the Scarlet Faction. Other factions included: Shadow Faction - ARP, LEG, BTa; Lordsbane Faction - J4Z, GEU, KUM; Tampest Faction - *E*, UTB, NOX; Ages Faction - YGI, NoS, NTC; Longreach Faction - Bad, GEA, OBV; Frost Faction - Arm, SKR, SFu; Justice Faction - R4M, tSB, FDH. Two unlocked cities were allocated to the Scarlet Faction and the remaining factions. Therefore, on the first day of the event, the much-anticipated battles for cities, gathering elimination points, and the fight for Twin City hadn't yet occurred. All factions worked hard to collect resources, construct wagons and medical vehicles, and prepare for bloody battles and encounters with dragons. What unfolded on the second day of Season 3? Read on to find out.

Day 2 - This day passed without significant events. Armory work continued uninterrupted, while the Scarlet Faction prepared for the impending battles. On this day, the first Non-Aggression Pacts (NAPs) were established between factions. Among those known were the NAPs between the Scarlet Faction and the Tampest Faction, and the Scarlet Faction and the Shadow Faction. These agreements emphasized mutual respect, refraining from attacks on cities and players, and providing aid in times of need. The Scarlet Faction strategized to focus solely on capturing the gate, relinquishing other northern cities to the Tampest Faction, anticipating future support. The main goal at the outset of AoW for the Scarlet Faction was to close off the Frost Faction, subsequently removing them. Hence, conceding those cities to Tampest held significance, contingent upon high attendance during this gate acquisition. The day concluded with the planning for Day 3, as everyone amassed resources, built combat and medical vehicles, and readied themselves for gate acquisition. What transpired on Day 3 after seizing the gate and unlocking other cities? Who gained an advantage that day? Keep reading.

DAY 3 - As predicted from the previous day, the Scarlet Faction captured the gate on the western map wall and allowed the Tampest Faction to capture the remaining four cities. This cemented the alliance between these two factions. Rankings showed the Tempest and Longreach Factions leading after the first three days, while the Scarlet Faction held 7th place. However, judging from the gameplay of DUM warriors, a change was imminent when battles for cities and points commenced. Apart from opening five cities on each side of the map, nothing notable occurred that day, but the scent of imminent bloody battles lingered in the air. Follow the continued phase of AoW to learn about Day 4.

DAY 4 - This day transpired calmly without significant emotions. Plans dictated that the next day would mark the beginning of the first battles. Therefore, the Scarlet Faction prepared to seize additional cities, this time from the Frost Faction, in the southern map region. According to the plan, they would support allies from the Tampest Faction in the city battles in the south. Thus, Day 4 passed quietly amidst tactical preparations, planning city acquisitions, as players from the Scarlet Faction and other factions geared up for the initial battles and the possibility of acquiring the first elimination points for the final ranking, revealed on Day 5.

DAY 5 - This day finally brought what everyone in the Scarlet Faction awaited: battles for cities and the first elimination points. Numerous new cities were opened, determining the leaderboard after 5 days depended on how quickly they were captured. The Scarlet Faction immediately began seizing cities in the southern map region to prevent the Frost Faction from reaching Twin Dragon City in the coming days. DUM players stepped into action with a calculated strategy, waiting only for the available player count and their willingness to engage in battles, as this determined which tactical approach to adopt. Knowing DUM, they had several strategies ready for every possible scenario during city capture. A significant number of players from the Scarlet Faction joined all battles, showcasing their dedication to the event. The day concluded with a showdown between the Frost and Scarlet Factions for M. Industrial City - 13, under Frost's control. Who emerged victorious from this battle? The account of this battle and its winner is in the description of the following day. Read on to discover which faction reigns supreme on the map!

DAY 6 and 7 - The final days of the first week of Season 3 of AoW. On these days, the faction celebrated victories in all planned battles. Everything that was planned had been achieved 100%, considering Frost Faction wasn't among the strong factions, making their defeat unsurprising to Scarlet. The next day, Scarlet prepared for their first battle with Dragons in the War with Domains. This was possible as the Faction completed missions in "War Progression" on time. Many players joined the fight. The battle with dragons is familiar because Lost Realm is the same event but separated from AoW, so I won't explain it here. Details on how the battle with dragons unfolded will be in the Week 1 summary of Season 3 of AoW.

The first week ended swiftly. Besides battle preparations, alliances were forged, promising assistance in the later phases of AoW. Longreach Faction led after the first week, while Scarlet held the 4th position. The time for the second week arrived, promising numerous intriguing battles for cities, villages, and skirmishes in Dragon Valley. However, the unexpected event that transpired on the last day of Week 2, and the decision made by one of the factions, will be revealed in the next story. Therefore, I encourage you to read it and follow my subsequent stories. Stay safe until then, and see you soon! 😊
