Alliances at War Slow
Hey, Alliances at War has been slow for a few hours
Hopefully its a quick fix and can either sort itself or by Martel tomorrow morning.

War Report – #45 vs. #36
#45 World Dominance VS #36 The Bears
It was inevitable, it cannot be avoided, the great wars between 2 great alliances are again at hand. The legendary generals and leaders of humankind are again facing grave threat from the…Bears. Their paths had crossed several times in 2 ages, killing, ravaging each other, trying to inflict damage that could leave the other half dead
Now again that time came, their path will clash soon and the humans rallied their forces and readied their armaments, all leaders responded with hungry eyes and raw determination that this will be their time to win.
Operation B.I.A.T.C.H.E.S Intels
Our malevolence elder, Adolf Hitler considered to be one of the cruelest leader the world has ever known ordered Martin Luther King, our spymaster, disguised as a black civil rights leader, to procure blueprints of all Bear’s tribes building construction, but in order to get it, our spymaster knew he’s in for a ride since the Bear’s intelligence agency the B.I.A.T.C.H.E.S is always on the lookout.
But then since MLK disguised as a black man, he went boldly to their agency and simply asked for the blueprints…simple but cunning our spymaster was, he knew the Bears cannot say no to his request otherwise they can be accused of racial discrimination. So they gave it to him willingly.
Operation B.I.A.T.C.H.E.S intel – done
After our Fuhrer got the blueprints, he studied the weakpoints of each tribe with his co-elder Hannibal of the Alps, a legendary general of Carthage, together they formed a swift but deadly plan utilizing the alliance’s best tribes…practically all of them 
Hannibal sent the word of WAR thru his swiftest elephants to each of the leaders, asking for their commitment and support for the war. And all of them replied with confirmation of support.
Every tribe was aware of the importance of this war, so they geared up and ready to go. The total destruction of the Bears is about to begin…
Hitler signaled the KT, at 6:55 ST, the World Dominance is online to its biggest tribe to the smallest, we are all online except to one who has an emergency. We are there to wreak havoc and conquer Bear lands for our own.
The PLAN
- 1st Target primary – Bearing My Teeth, a 4600 SPIRIT with low mage defenses.
- 1st Target secondary – Lovely Bear, a 1700 acre SPIRIT with low mage defenses.
- 2nd Target primary – Shadow Bear, a 3800 acre DARK ELF, with low thievery defenses.
- 2nd Target secondary – Bear Ass, a 2500 MORI HAI, with enough mage defenses.
- Optional Target – Barbearic BuBu, the Bear Leader, a LIGHT ELF with very good mage defense and a whopping 8000 acre tribe.
Hitler started the war by opping the 1st target with his dm’s, at the first volley he already burned 700 homes which sealed Bearing My Teeth’s tribe to dust with no help from his members, now that Bearing My Teeth’s fate sealed with our 10 tribes still waiting for orders, it was a very good omen for us, Humankind will score another win against its enemy, the Bears.
At the same time Hitler was burning Bearing My Teeth’s homes, his co-elder Hannibal, Crazy Horse, the legendary Indian leader, and our Spymaster, Martin Luther King fervently opping Shadow Bear. But before they can burn him, the great leader, Napoleon Bonaparte along with his famous cavalry pushed Shadow Bear’s defenses to its limits by destroying and burning thru Blasphemy Crusade, a huge portion of the Bear’s mage defenses were smashed to the ground. Hannibal, Crazy Horse, and MLK threw all their magery and thievery powers at Shadow Bears.
The 3rd target being opped at the same time was Lovely Bear. Our young allies, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt the famous US Presidents, Karl XII the Prince, Alexander the Great the Conqueror, and the Renowned Jules Cesar attacked and opped Lovely Bear.
07:00:07 and 07:00:13, the leaders looked upon the crumbled kingdom of Bearing My Teeth and Lovely Bear. They didn’t withstand the damage inflicted of those who invaded their Beary Lands.
But then Shadow Bear managed to live for another hour for his good magery defenses, he managed to deflect most dragonmages casted upon him of those leaders assigned to him. But his survival did not last long…at 08:00:03 he joined his fallen comrades after an hour of their deaths.
Bear Ass was next to the kill list so we prepared…after 2 ticks of the war we received war bonus manas to actually kill him after 2 ticks so we planned to kill Bear Ass in 10:00 ST..Abraham Lincoln managed to raze 100 buildings off Bear Ass, making it more easier to kill him..all those who still had manas opped Bear Ass that same tick and he went down fast and hard on 10:00:02 ST
Everyone was in high spirits when they killed 4 tribes in 4 ticks, together they slowly felt the bond in every tribe, the unity and coordination that every alliance needed was slowly being forged in every kill…
After Bear Ass, they only needed over 3k acres to win, and the Bears got several tribes fitting that requirement and were easy kills but no…Hitler wants to crush the Bear’s spirits by killing their top tribe which happens to be their leader Barbearic BuBu, Hitler gave the signal, 13:55ST will be the deciding tick of the whole war…but BuBu already went to defensive mode and at 13:00 ST his churches will arrive, the Human leaders must act fast and hard before his defenses will put in place.
So Hitler, Hannibal and Crazy Horse decided to lead the offensives way early before the scheduled KT, they opped BuBu with their last manas, and Luther King also had to leave the battlefield for some emergency at home so he opped early with all his remaining TP…and they did fairly well considering BuBu already got ml25 and his tribe buffs…overall they burned about 3k acres of BuBu’s buildings but its not enough to kill his tribe, then maybe luck is not in our side BuBu went online and saw that hes the target…he got around 97k citz left and we expected him to release his troops to ensure his survival but he did not. I guess luck didn’t totally abandoned us.
13:55 arrived and the leaders gathered once again to talk about the offensives…we only needed to burn 210 homes to kill the Bear’s leader. But then the 3 top human tribes got few manas left to really ensure his defeat. Napoleon Bonaparte, a 4k acre nazzie decided to go suicide by going all out and will raze an 8k Light Elf just to ensure victory…so it was decided and they went into action…Bonaparte razed BuBu’s buildings and got 188 homes, that finally sealed BuBu’s fate. And all other tribes supported Bonaparte by opping the huge tribe…all of the world’s leaders opp BuBu to its biggest to its smallest tribe they went at him, and after the tick BuBu’s citizens went down to 587..and so all fireballs went down to finish him off sealing victory to the World’s Leaders.
