I was aware of the risk I was taking, playing with people who don't know how to play and losing or winning and leaving my mark in this first round of the fourth season. I had no fear, and I decided to enter.
It was an ordinary afternoon, but the atmosphere felt a little different. A big event was taking place in the Honor Arena. This time, I was going as Monikoo, a small account, without much history behind it. The matchmaking system had changed; now everything was more leveled, more fair. And that's why I decided to register alone, without a group, without acquaintances, looking to face opponents of my same level, people I could really compete against.
I knew it was a risk. Playing with strangers always is. I could end up with a team that didn't know how to play, lose without even having the chance to prove anything... or I could win. I could leave my mark from the first round of this fourth season.
There was no fear. Only excitement, anticipation, and that feeling that something big was about to begin.
So, without thinking twice... I entered.
When I entered I was matched with players of my same level, which was what I expected... so I began to put together my strategy, in addition to that, I had an efficient leader who gave me the position so I could build, I knew that most people didn't know the dynamics of offensive camps, so based on the NPCs, I decided to set up my cavalry camps, it was a bit complicated, nobody knew that reinforcing buildings allowed them to be updated quickly to start fighting.

In the second row of construction, as the leader was seeing that they were setting up lancer camps, we decided between the two of us that we would make infantry, so that the cavalry camps would not lose to enemy constructions, since our objective was to win larger buildings such as towers, catapults and houses... it is a matter of finishing the constructions and starting to fight against the enemies.

The offensive camps did their job and went for the House of Stark, who had neglected their defense, then I decided to send my commanders to defend the building against them, I asked for reinforcements to ensure defense, many rally attacks and only arrived but none with success on the part of the enemies, until the occupation phase passed and it was taken, achieving a great advantage over the enemies, now our mission was to hold that house until the end, because we suspected that within the battlefield there was one stronger than us.

So we decided to wait, we just played defense, until the camps decided to take House Lannister, it was the same process, I put my main commanders, asked for some infantry reinforcements and occupied the building, we already had both houses in our hands, it was a matter of waiting until the city of glory opens and decide what to do.

The minutes passed and the decisive moment arrived that would give a result, ensure the victory or go down to second place, as I was taking care of the houses, I could not attack the city of glory, so N0B0DY decides to go with his archers, when exploring I warn him that it will be a versus of archers, where whoever has the best statistics will win, it was a very unfair result for us, where we believed that by having synergy the victory would be ours, but nothing could be further from reality, we did not have many soldiers to assist him, so we decided not to try to fight and defend what we already had, and wait for the Mineshafts.

A critical moment came in that process, maintaining many large buildings generated carelessness, because nobody wanted to take charge of the other house, no matter how much I defended one I couldn't defend the other, because my best army couldn't be in more than two places at a time, the members of House Lannister took advantage of that opening and decided to recapture it and not move from there, so we decided to take it easy and defend House Stark with all our might, and when the decisive moment came, recapture it again.


The last building to fight for arrived, since these had also had a slight change, now 4000 points were drained, which each player of our faction took more than one well, but the score was not enough, despite being leveled with the Greyjoy faction we were still below them, because of the City of Glory we could not get them out, so the moment we were waiting for arrived, which allowed us to make a twist in the plot; we retook House Lannister with 2 minutes left, where there would be no danger in defending it, so at the end of the game, we had regained our first place.
