The War of the New World

Before everything else, I came in late okay. I came during the last hour of Colony Wars.



Recall from last week's CW the truce between Adeptas Fraternas and Eclipse, and the truce between Reconquista and Eden. These two sides have proven to be the two biggest forces that have dominated over the past month over Caravaggio server.

This week, the other factions have chosen their side. I only speak form what I know, and there may be subjectivity with it, but majority of the smaller factions, if not holding a truce with the AF-Eclipse group, have declared war against either Reconquista and Eden. There are also factions who have allied with Reconquista and Eden. I cannot mention the names of the factions as I don't want to make any assumptions.

However, with these "alliances" formed (whether temporary or not), have made the war more balanced, as compared to the one-sided wars with Reconquista having the upper hand.

Those are just my thoughts on the drama of Caravaggio.

So when I arrived, my factions was in the middle of attacking Tetra hill. I believe it was Reconquista who was holding the colony at that time. I had a glimpse of the map during this time and noticed that AF have lost some of its original colonies, but have acquired new colonies getting the count back to 4. Eclipse was always getting new colonies during this time, and so was Eden. The smaller factions were also getting colonies bit by bit. Reconquista had two colonies during that time, which put me in surprise. I did not know what happened but that is how it happened. Shortly however, Reconquista managed to get new colonies for itself.



Given that during this time, Reconquista has 2 colonies. The attack of Tetra Hill was extraordinarily difficult. Well, at least for me. Penetrating through this chokepoint (the area which bridges the faction manager and its immediate area from Tetra Hill proper), proved to be a great challenge as even if few Reconquista families defend this area, they can easily stop us or delay our attempts in taking their colony.

The Tetra Hill Colony subsequently fell to another faction. Supperclub, I believe.

After a few more warping to the other Reconquista colonies, our faction leader Welling called a full force attack of Rio Albi, another one of their colonies.

Less difficult, but nevertheless difficult, Adeptas Fraternas was able to get hold of Rio Albi at the last 5 mins.




Ferrucio Junction, one of AF's colonies was left unattended as we had our full force in Rio Albi. Because of this, Reconquista was able to get the said colony during the last second, almost like the way we got their colony during last week's colony wars.

Adeptas Fraternas - 4
Barurotboyz - 2
Eclipse - 2
Eden - 8
Reconquista - 4
Supperclub - 1

Will the smaller factions who have grown powerful change the tides of war?
