Colony Wars – My First!

Being that I only hit Vet recently, I’ve never participated in colony wars until just last night. I must say it was an interesting experience. I’ve never done PvP in Sword 2 before, so needless to say I got stomped pretty hard.

Note – If you don’t know what colony wars are, or even what a colony is, here’s a brief summery: The game is broken up into many different areas. A few of them can be owned by clans. These are called colonies. They give universal buffs to everyone in the clan and the buffs get better for each colony you own. Every Saturday between 10 PM EST and 12 AM EST clans can fight over these territories. That about sums it up.

Here’s a pretty rough outline of how everything went:

10:00 PM EST

CoreClan attack out Topolo Durga colony. Our clan leader decided not to respond (they’re the biggest clan on the server after all).

10:15 PM EST

Another clan issued us a challenge, so we decided to attack their Via Fluvial colony. After about 10 minutes the colony was at 10% HP they came and retaliated. We got it down to around 1% before entirely being wiped. Later we found out the challenge was misdirected. Their leader sent it to the wrong clan. One of our clannies didn’t get the memo and went Rambo on them (lol). He took an all Musketeer’s team, used an invisibility potion, and sniped the colony (which was being protected by 8 families).

10:30 PM EST

CoreClan decided to be mean to us and said we didn’t deserve our Rio Albi colony. So they took that too ='(

11:00 PM EST

Reports that clans were attacking both our Port Bello Desolate Cliff colony and our Pradera de Cenza colony. The force attacking the cliff was extremely small (two families), so I and another clan member were sent to survey it while our leader called upon an alliance with the Amalielle clan to have them defend it. The did so for an hour (thanks guys =D).

11:10 PM EST

CoreClan attacked our newly found “Via Fluvial” colony. Later they gave the colony to ~Galactica~.

12:00 AM EST

The Colony War ended, in total we lost 2 colonies and only have 2 left.

It was a very interesting first experience to say the least. Hopefully next week we’ll go back up to 3 or even 4 colonies!

P.S. Pitsco, our clan leader, is awesome. He gave 15 million Vis to everyone that participated. Thanks Pitsco =D
