Troy Is Here!

Debut war · sizing up every guild on ODIN

Troy is here! A first war is for checking the strength of every guild, so Troy opened 1 vs 3 against the Divinity alliance: Divinity, Illuminati and EQUILIBRIUM. Well… we could all guess the result. Then they pushed into The Forsaken, before getting sandwiched by Aurora.

Step 1
Troy lining up before the push into Divinity's castle at Skoegul.
Step 2
One against three: Troy vs Divinity, Illuminati and EQUILIBRIUM.
Step 3
Troy vs The Forsaken.
Step 4
Sandwiched: The Forsaken in front, Aurora behind.

Next on the list: the biggest alliance on the server, •[D]estraCtiOn• and Last Gangster. Safe to say it was a night of bumps and bruises.

Step 5
Troy vs •[D]estraCtiOn• I, •[D]estraCtiOn• II and Intelligent BRAIN.
Step 6
Chaos at Skoegul: three sides in one fight.
Step 7
Troy vs Elven Gard and the RED alliance.
Step 8
Even a handshake with a small squad: Baphomet!

With every guild sized up, Troy moved on Swanhild near the end of the war, a castle the Divinity trio was holding for its alliance, and stole it. Then they ran to Kriemhild and leaned on Jing until the bell, forcing them to stay inside their castle.

Then the bard duo of the Last Gangster alliance made their play and forced •[D]estraCtiOn• back into Portal 3. Mexican Gangster tried to come in from behind, but it was already too late.

Round 2Zone 2 · too focused on the flag

Then came a second zone, where Last Gangster got too focused on the flag and were pushed out by •[D]estraCtiOn•.

Last Gangster: Come up, come up! We're thin, they're about to stomp us!

Let's call it: castles hit, but no one won the zone. The ref splits them up!

Round 4Rematch at Skoegul

Step 9
Round two: the alliances clash again at Skoegul.
Step 10
