Alliance conquest: NFI v OBV

The gates open for the next round of Alliance conquest, NFI finding themselves faced against OBV. Though history shall suggest NFI will have an easy match against them, OBV were more then capable of outplaying and defeating NFI with perfect circumstance and with building combinations giving such major buffs for the alliance holding them, even a small team can overpower the giant.

In their last encounter together, in the first round of this Alliance conquest season, NFI crushed OBV achieving a score of 115,720 compared to 46,000 and NFI is looking to match these results, brining many of their forces together, remembering last match and noting the key players OBV will attempt to get into buildings to defend from their onslaught of attacks.

Despite their last encounter, OBV had come with clear intent to battle this match, with 86 members joining and 87 for NFI and everyone with their full armies, their fervor for war thickened the air, the match starting seemingly unlucky for OBV who couldn't keep up with the hastily march of NFI racers, securing all the buildings in an instant. This will be detrimental for OBV as NFI held all the major attacking buffs from the buildings, making their swords even sharper in battle.

Even with a slow start, this wouldn't discourage OBV from battling NFI attempts to swap stronger rally leads into their buildings, successfully able to counter their swap for the mother tower, breaking their healing speed buff and a 10 base attack buff it had with the warrior tower. Rallies in the mean time were prepared against the Warrior tower and swiftly launched against it using the distraction of NFI swapping their Mother tower to mask their assault, splitting their attention and breaking both of their defenses. But this was in vain and the Warrior towers defenses held strong with Wallace stable spearmen frontline and backline cavalry to entrap the enemy rallied troops.

The ports had opened, with both alliances rushing to secure the next buildings, with NFI and OBV both taking one port each. Though with OBV player Miss bunny not being able to withstand the rush of solo attacks from NFI, their defense crumbled quickly securing both ports for NFI.

Casterly Rock opened, and NFI kept their strong racing streak with also capturing Casterly, during the time facing rally waves on the Targaryen port, however Savada's fierce cavalry lineup was too powerful for any OBV to break, and their defense held strong with losing barely any troops.

With the lack of battles held and given OBV had no buildings to defend leaving a large amount of their troops stations in their castle walls. As the bubbles dropped the chaos began, as many NFI players rushed to slaughter many of OBV players defending troops and preventing further offensive marches against their buildings. Many players slaughtered, their points stolen, their castle walls crumbled and cities burnt stripped of their troops, with no Mother tower or additional buffs for OBV their healing costs will be extreme if they wanted to make a stand and contest this game once again.

OBV regrouped and staged their rallies to target Wood in the outpost, although not breaking any major building buffs, their attacks came close to succeeding and dwindled NFI's defending troops down to few million remaining. But their rush wasn't enough, with poor rally timing and the lack of overly powerful hitters their rallies may have struck at the core of the outposts defense but couldn't slaughter all the troops inside, giving plenty of time for NFI to march reinforcements to the outpost.

The mines were the last buildings to open for the match, both having up to 9000 points available for the captures to reap, this may not be able to close the gab already held in points after NFI was fairly uncontested in their defenses, this didn't stop OBV from making one last push and giving NFI one last battle to overcome before the ending match. Both alliances got 1 mine each from the initial race and OBV immediately activated Dragon Might on their building, giving an extra minute of bubble time for their players to regroup and send in proper marches to make their last stand in this match.

Fortifying this mine into a stronghold expecting the wave of NFI players to solo rush and rally fiercely into this mine, some may have been discouraged from the first moments of this game which would doom any hope of further reinforcements into the mine, OBV had to rely on their members pride to make their last stand here in protest against NFI rampage.

Perhaps these efforts were wasted, as soon as their bubble dropped there would be no hope for the defending troops inside their mine, and seeing many commanding armies approach their mine sweeping through the defensive troops held up in the mine, nearly as quickly as the bubble dropped there was as it was taken by NFI, being the final blow to OBV and repeating history once again.

Even while being outmatched and heavily out powered by some of NFI players, OBV can stand proud coming into the match with full intent on giving it their all despite their wasted efforts, nearly achieving the same score as last time their place against NFI had not changed in the break between their battles. OBV Shire would come out in this match as a monstrous player with over four times the eliminations as Frozor in second place, their power only held back by alliance coordination and team strength, perhaps next season there they will be a harder challenge for NFI.
