Alliance Conquest Season 19; Round 1

SFu vs PHR

Believe it or not, the new season of Alliance Conquest has started again. Maybe in a completely unexpected period. I think we all hoped that it would be delayed a bit, since it is summer, during the holiday season. Anyway, nothing changes the fact that this is the most popular event in the game, and we addicted people will play it at any time of the year. This is the 19th season of Alliance Conquest and for my SFu the first round starts against PHR alliance. 

Personally, for me this was a completely unknown opponent, in so many Alliance Conquest seasons we have never faced each other. I've seen them in some other events, but not in Alliance Conquest or in Siege of Winterfell. Of course, as someone who organizes events in my alliance, I had to study and analyze them a bit before the match. PHR or full name PhoenixRising, is an alliance of approximately 110B power. They are stationed mainly at k273, while our home kingdom is k226. A big danger will threaten us and we were threatened by 3 of their main players: Finrahil, who is otherwise their leader. His troops are bowman with strong stats. Something I haven't seen in a long time, honestly. For me, they are a bit forgotten, but they seem to be returning to the stage, the Bowman players. Yaohui i who is a spearman player with one SS commander - Daena, of course with good stats and Pate Moreland infantry player. Of course there were several other strong players, I singled out only these 3.

The preparation period came, the players from the SFu alliance read the plan, and slowly began to look for their seats inside the map. Before entering, whoever wanted asked for the Lord Commander title from Kings Landing protocol officer as well as for Lord lv60. I was also one of them. According to the plan I made that day, I was determined to run for the opponent's Outpost, we'll see if I succeed, Honestly, I rarely succeeded :D

All of us who are online entered the map, there were 76 of us against 59 players from PHR. I honestly expected more of their players than ours, since their alliance is full - 99/100

The match has started, in the first wave 4 castles are opened, PHR took 3, while we only have the Tower of Warrior. Lord Gitter managed to get there first. Guess what, I was too slow and the their (closer to them) Outpost went to the opponent. Our first target will be the Tower of Mother, when it is available first for scouting and then for rallying. Our players will also try solo attacks on the opponent's and our Oustpost. I also tried my cavalry combination several times, it wasn't always successful, because 2-3 times I encountered a counter defense with spearmen. Before the opening of the Ports, our goal was to capture all 4 castles, and we succeeded. When it came time for ports, the advantage started to grow in our favor. The speed in the ports was identical, they took the one closest to them and we took the one right next to us. In the meantime, Gitter did not last in the Warrior Tower, the opponent had the tactic of trying to take one of our castles with solo strikes, after they tried unsuccessfully to take the Mother's Tower once with several rallies, MaceWInduJr defended well there with timely reinforcement. It's been like that for a while, the holders for the opponent's Port and Outpost were changing, since we often lost them with solo strikes by the strongest PHR players, also, after losing them, we soloed back and occupied the same castles. Casterly Rock didn't change the situation on the field much, PHR got to it first. But we took it over as soon as it became free to attack. Odr was the one who took over, and they couldn't move him from there until the end of the match. A similar thing happened when one of our players captured the opponent's Port - Dark Pegasus, they failed to win and move him from there. The fight for Strongholds followed, which were not overly important to us. We left them to the opponent, but later we also attacked that with solo strikes. Also in the middle period, the bubbles of the players were also removed, I'm generally not a fan of attacking the opposing players and thus taking elimination points, so I skipped that this time as well. Then, after a little more than 20 minutes, something like a break happened, the opponent suddenly doesn't attack anything, while we hold all the castles. They definitely wanted to wait for the mines, and with them to get some more points. And the advantage of SFu was getting bigger and bigger. The winner was already known then, we just had to wait to see what the result would be. Mine didn't change much. It was 1:1 in the race, but we immediately occupied both mines with solo strikes. Lord Gitter and RainMaker held them.

With the mines, the advantage grew even faster, so 10 minutes before the end we already exceeded 80k points, which was our goal. Then we generously decided to give a few points to the brave opponent. We went to disband all our castles.

As for me, this was an exciting match, with a lot of solo attacks, and less rallies, my SFu did several good rallies, while PHR only soloed. My experience tells me that it is still better for me to do not many solo attacks, or to check what is in the opponent's castles before the attack. Of course, in addition to a couple of solo attacks, I also had several good and successful rallies. I am also satisfied in the end with my rank in elimination points and first place in heal points, where I wanted to be an example to others, how they should not save heal speedups in some of the next matches.

That would be all about our first match in the new Alliance Conquest season, Winning at the beginning means a lot. I hope that we will be better and more coordinated in the next adventures. Also, I would like to thank the PHR alliance for a fair and good fight, this time you did not succeed, but I believe that you will defeat your opponent already in the second round! Until the next story, King Rale greets you.
