All Out War – January Edition - first week.

An event that involves a lot of alliances and a lot of people. Currently the longest one I know of, as it lasts two weeks. It's not my favorite game because the map is huge and the gameplay can take a long time. It can be very challenging and a lot of fun if the opponents are at a similar level. It also happens that a few people can completely ruin it for their own benefit, making the event unplayable, which is what I, my alliance, and hundreds of other players experienced, but more on that later.

Registration

It all starts with registration. First, the strongest alliances are divided into 8 factions. Another 8 alliances join the main alliance, and so the faction consists of two alliances.

The situation after registration is as follows:

• Shadow Faction: NW1 + AIA
• Lordsbane Faction: NoS + BBs
• Tempest Faction: FDH + EmP
• Ages Faction: SFu + PGT
• Scarlet Faction: UTB + AnU
• Longreach Faction: FVG + GJs
• Frost Faction: RoD + GCM
• Justice Faction: YGI + ExF

Many people were a little surprised to see RoD here. As one of the leading alliances, it should definitely be a league above the rest. Certainly, this is not the entire alliance, but only a part of it, yet already at the registration stage, we know that they can cause the biggest problem. Although all the clans are top-ranked, only few of them have endgame accounts like the RoD players. On the other hand, this is an event where entire alliances play, so maybe a handful of RoD players won't dominate the event.

In this event, we have very cool rewards for many categories. Not only can you earn dragon badges and other things by completing daily tasks, but the best players in elimination, logistics, and other categories also win great prizes.

What's new is that you can improve your ability to collect points by purchasing a package for regular diamonds and not just black ones. Of course, you can buy both packages and earn a lot of points every day, which can be exchanged for cool prizes.

Even if you are not an outstanding player, everyone gets some rewards depending on the score of their faction.

There are very good rewards for the best warriors:

Maybe that's why there are players from RoD here?

Every day is different. It starts with capturing buildings, then gathering resources for building expansion and creating better vehicles. After a few days, the battle for dominance on the map begins, with players capturing their opponents' buildings until, at the end of the event, everyone who gets close to the center of the map fights for the main building.

Let's begin...

It all starts at 12:00 a.m., and it's like a race to see who can capture buildings and earn the first points faster.

The race has begun. Not everyone started right away, but you can see movement on every side. The yellow(Longreach) team captures the first building, then us, and then the others in turn. We occupy the second building first, then the yellow team and other factions. Some are in no hurry and occupy it slowly. Thanks to our mobilization, we take the lead. That's where the first day ends. Now all that remains is to collect resources to start expanding buildings and building better vehicles that will give additional profits. After a few hours of gathering, the first vehicles are built and players can go to better mines. This calm period of capturing village castles and gathering resources lasts two days. After that, the real battle between the factions and the conquest of new territories begins.

It is difficult to keep track of all the factions, so I will focus only on my own 😊 On the third day, when it is possible to declare war on new territories, the first clashes take place. We start with attack and defense at the same time. It's not an easy situation. Raids are on standby, as are healing carriages. The countdown begins, 3,2,1... and the castles are unlocked for attack. If I remember correctly, we manage to defend our building but we don't gain anything from the opponent, the clash remains 0:0.

More declarations of war follow, but we have to wait a few hours.

The next few days look very similar. After the third day, we gain access to a secret world where we kill bosses. It's an additional challenge where you can earn some rewards.

Every day, new sectors of the map are unlocked for us to conquer, and we continue to fight. Unfortunately, the enemy on both sides proves to be stronger than us, and instead of capturing more buildings, we lose them and are pushed back on the defensive. By the way, we see that from time to time players from RoD appear, including the currently strongest player, Ur Candy. He is clearly here for elimination points, as he captures enemy and our castles on his own. In larger attacks and defenses, he is supported by other RoD players, although, as you can see, he is capable of defeating half of the rally on his own.

We often see Ur Candy and other RoD players in battles that are not theirs. For example, when one team fights another, they appear only for elimination points.

Hmmmm...

The first week passes quite quickly. We are mainly pushed onto the defensive. While the battles with neighboring factions are sometimes won and sometimes lost, playing deep in the map is almost impossible. We are very blocked by one side or the other, and RoD is pushing left and right.

I am very curious to see what the second week will bring. Will the situation be different? Will the RoD players leave after taking the top spots in the qualifiers after just one week? Or maybe the fight will go on until the very end, pushing everyone onto the defensive and taking all the fun away from us. We will see…
