Alliances

Love and war were on the cards this Valentines with the declaration of Alliance war between Truidian Federation and Knights Templar. From the outset of war several hostilities ensued, with TF choosing to focus on what they viewed as KT's strongest kingdoms- 7th Fleet, Petrified and DeathDealers. There was some uncertainty as to the kindom numbers and locations on the list of Knights Templar kingdoms, as the list TF had contained two kingdoms who had since departed KT and did not include two who were KT allied. The Truidian strategy was to divide their kingdoms up by networth, putting 3-4, per enemy kingdom.

It was, however, not only armies that marched to war. The damage took flight when both sides roused the ancient wrath of the dragons. With offerings of gold, kingdoms in both alliances gained the allegiance of these fiery creatures and unleashed them to ravage enemy lands. A ruby dragon was sent by 7th Fleet to Freeakstyle but another TF kingdom Poetic Justice sent a friendly sapphire dragon as this was less damaging and weaker in strength, thus easier to slay.

Tensions have been simmering between the titanic alliances of Absalom and Covenant since the age commenced, with relations currently degrading to an alliance war.

What makes this age different from others? As most would relate, an average age normally sees the alliance of Absalom focused on whoring land from Day One. Through a combination of smart hits, wise hiding or circumstances, they tend to establish their dominance on the charts early; and if all goes according to plan, their hold on the charts remains somewhat unchallenged with a few waves to spice things up. However, the tale took a twist this age when locations of Absalom kingdoms were leaked before protection ended by a person under the nick of Mansoor. The locations of the Absalom kingdoms Rage, Mercy, Dragons and Trinity were out from Day one of protection, with Sanctuary and Equilibrium's locations being confirmed later. Originally Mansoor had claimed that he had locations private messaged to him through a site and/or had his information coming from multies in Absalom kingdoms. Absalom however believes that another source like a flaw in Stingernet (linked to the bot Stinger employed by several Abs kingdoms) is the more likely source.

Alliance war declared on Valentines day

While Febuary the 14th may be romantic for loved up couples there was little love between Knights Templar and Truidian Federation this Valentines. Instead of cards, flowers and chocolate a declaration of war was sent.

What started out as a truce between two strong alliances has now broken out into alliance war, as the Genesis alliance PSY declared alliance war on V. Till now, a ceasefire existed between the two alliances, which was set to expire on June 1st, YR4.
