GoTWIC : Invasion - K106 , farming nodes, or players?

There are wars you fight for a throne, and wars you fight because someone annoyed you. This one was just one for the pleasure, collecting scrolls, peacefully. Farm life isn’t that bad, right? Unless… There are players who started losing truces… 

After a boring time, that feeling became itchy, you can ignore it for a while, yet soon or later the feeling becomes stronger, all it took was one player without a truce. The raven was sent in the direction of AgatheZeBlue with the mission to scout the castle. The raven returned with a satisfying scout report. It said to me that nearly 6million troops are residing in the castle.

It started with this thought, give into that itchy feeling. A small city that falls after one easy hit doesn't give much merit. Yet AgatheZeBlue had enough troops to make it worth sending a march.

I gaved into that itchy feeling. A small city that falls after one easy hit doesn't give much merit. AgatheZeBlue had enough troops to make it worth sending a march. The fight was rough and fast, and the report showed a big win, yet the work wasn't done. A second hit soon followed, at least leaving the castle alone to allow time to prepare or relocate. The follow-up brought about the total defeat of Agathe, capping the lord with ease. The first blow cracked the city. The second hit totally devastated the castle.

Quiet days followed in its footsteps. The kind of days that you start making screenshots to prepare a story for your chronicler work, or watching like a three-eyed raven to your TV and PC screen at the same time, it’s a skill you must learn. nevertheless, I behaved like a “peaceful farmer”.

The next opportunity came late on 2026/01/21, when midnight reached its peak. The one exposed in BoL’s hive was named Polopolo. Without hesitation, click! March sent!

I hit (BoL)polopolo. I lost 4.9M, and Polopolo lost 164.38M. This was a big hit. I took real losses, but the damage to Polopolo was massive. Late-night hits often work because a lot of people refresh the truce either when they come back from work or around reset. The second march hit a few seconds later. I lost 845.71K, and Polopolo lost 58.36M and captured the lord and threw him in my dungeon. So far i’ve been successful in battles between 2 offline players, “cool” right? The odds stayed good for me, and the defenders of the kingdom keep losing. 

Not long after at 01:11:01, I turned my eye towards another target who lost the truce named: (BoL)PolCeS. Without hesitation, I launched my march!

Impact followed. I lost around 1.03M in power; my opponent lost 75.06M, capturing the lord instant.

 Same day, a few minutes later, another castle opened the gates (CES)ValCeS. I sent my march asap, dealth 54.11M in dmg, with zero losses.

This was one of those perfect reports. Zero losses for me, and a big chunk taken from ValCeS. It usually happens when someone is not set up right or is not paying attention. Hits like this feel great during a merit run because they save troops and still give good points.

That night changed the mood in K106. More shields came up that countered for both day and night. The work stayed the same for me: look for openings, hit when it’s worth it, don’t waste troops on bad fights such as… Bows.

More days passed like that until 2026/01/30, when I ran into someone who didn’t go down easy named HaWK. However HaWK's defence wall was not on point the amount of T4 made it not so easy to push through.The march was sent and what follows...

 I hit HaWK he lost 118.34M, and I lost 12.4M. This one was not a free hit. My losses were high, partially because I used a lot of T3, I still had wounded T5 troops from an earlier fight, and also something told me HaWK had potential strength in his castle. The report still showed a win, and that mattered in the end. A merit run is easy when everything is weak. It gets harder when you meet someone who can hurt you back, and that's the part that makes it all more fun!

I hit again quickly because time helps the defender. If they shield or they get support, the chance is gone.

The second hit showed clearly that the T4 buff in numbers had lost its efficiency; the final reckoning is coming. In this hit. I lost 3.8M, and HaWK lost 84.46M. I was seriously surprised that I had not captured the lord yet, which made me feel bad to continue, yet wars aren’t won with showing compassion, the sword swings where it's pointed. 

And my sword? It swung a final time… 

The third and final strike was unforgiving, Lord capped, and sent to one of my sky cells! The invasion of K106 was not that spectacular, it wasn’t really about numbers. This server was real hunting, very rarely a truce dropped, and instead of moving to a server when a target was found I decided this time to play static. It’s a completely different style, that gives oddly more satisfaction than being mobile.

Hope you enjoyed my story, and for like-minded hunters, be aware that if you go to K106, it is not a kingdom where you are blessed to find targets every day!
