Mutated Jungle & the End of Marco Polo
I took a break this past season.
Ohânot from playing! I mean from storytelling. 
Why? Well⊠the season brought so many changes, I decided to just observe, adapt, and soak it all in.
But clearly, the devs arenât done surprising us.
Theyâve dropped a new event into the game: Mutated Jungle.
As the name suggests, itâs a wild evolution of the classic Jungle eventâbut with extra twists, stronger ants, and a whole lot more chaos. 
This time, I wonât sit quietly and let it pass.
Itâs obvious now: every season brings a new challenge, and I plan to march alongside itâtelling the stories of SKY alliance, my friends, and the madness we face together.
Registration Begins⊠But We Havenât Clicked Yet
Season registration is open, but we havenât hit that shiny button yet.
Maybe the officers will decide to skip this oneâŠ
But knowing the spirit of our team? I doubt it.
So Iâve already started my storyâjust in case.
No More Marco Polo
This season marks a turning point for me.
One of my closest friends ( @Phoenix_1988 ) (PHX) has joined our alliance.
Iâve finally stopped wandering. No more Marco Polo gameplayâthis is the first alliance Iâve stayed in for more than two seasons.
And honestly? It feels like this place was built for me.
The vibe, the people, the leadershipâit all fits.
With high probability, this is my permanent nest. 
So get ready.
The new season is here.
The jungle is mutated.
And the stories are about to begin.
Iâll be back soonâwith towers, tactics, and a few mushroom-powered surprises 
Stay tuned.
Season Kickoff â Four Days to Destiny 
The countdown has begun. Just four days left until we discover our rivals, see which alliances share our camp, and which ones will stand against us.
The new S5 ants look ridiculously powerful. Honestly, I hope they all end up in my nest this season. 
(Hey, whatâs wrong with dreaming big? As we say: âWishing is no fault of the young.â)
And rumor has it⊠a brand-new Shooter insect is about to be introduced in the coming days. 
So yeah, I might need to loosen my pockets a little and stop being stingy. Maybe Iâll even spend a bitâbecause who can resist shiny new bugs?
- In four days, the curtain rises: camps revealed, rivals named.
- New ants, new insects, new chaos.
- And me? Iâll be here, telling the story of SKY and our alliesâevery tower built, every mushroom eaten, every rally launched.
The jungle is mutated, the ants are stronger, and the surprises keep coming.
So buckle up.
The saga continues.
And the stingers are already sharp.
No oneâs resting. No oneâs hesitating.
Weâre all standing at the edge of the jungle, buzzing with anticipation.
SKY Soldiers Ready for War
In this post, Iâll share a picture introducing some of my friendsâthe fearless Sky Soldiers. Every one of them is sharpening their ant stingers, waiting for the season to begin. 
SKY Allies & Enemies Revealed!**
The fog has lifted. The camps are set.
And now we know who weâll be fighting alongside⊠and who weâll be facing across the battlefield.
The matchups look intense.
The ants? Mutated and hungry.
And me? Iâm sharpening my stingers and warming up my rally fingers.
Let the season begin.

On this World Hello Day, I want to extend my warmest greetings to everyone.âHelloâ is often the very first word we learn when approaching a new language or culture. It is one of the rarest words that can be translated into every tongue with nothing more than a simple nod of the head. To me, it is the most sacred word across all dialectsâa universal bridge of respect and connection. 
Harvest the fruit, claim the glory! 
Alright, back to our adventure on the island! 
Weâve started building towers and capturing wonders in our zone. This event is brand new, and itâs already shaking up all the strategies we thought we knew.
Weâve got 8 days before we can clash with the rival camp. Until then, itâs all about stacking buffs and preparing for the big fight.
Hereâs what Iâve noticed so far:
-
Early defenses vs post-T12
- Before unlocking T12, initial stationed forces in nests, wonders, and tunnels feel tough.
-
Fruit zones and rewards logic
- You still get lesser rewards based on point thresholds, regardless of the outcome.
- The important rewardsâeggsâonly drop if your camp scores more than the enemy. A draw means no eggs for either side.
- In theory, you can secure eggs without direct fighting if the enemy fails to capture all of their locations while you capture all of yoursâbut this is unlikely when both camps have active, non-farm alliances.
-
Tree of Abundance points
- The Tree carries the same point value as other wonders. Itâs not inherently more valuable than the rest.
ïŒ:classical_building:
- The Tree carries the same point value as other wonders. Itâs not inherently more valuable than the rest.
-
North clash specifics
- Winning North clash grants you an extra wonder, but itâs identical in value to other wonders.
- The clash is unique because both camps have campsites thereâitâs a default fight zone.
- Destroying the wonder isnât beneficial unless you canât hold it; choosing to destroy suggests your camp is already struggling to maintain control.
- Practically, winning North clash often indicates youâve won the first clash zone of the season, since itâs the earliest shared campsite fight where the winner secures the wonder.
So yeah⊠speed + endurance 
+ activity are the three big challenges, all wrestling with raw power. The camp that finds the right strategy to balance all fourâpower includedâwill be the one to claim victory.
For now, we wait.
The storm of events is brewing, and Iâm curious to see what surprises it will bring us next.
The Heartbeat of War
Tick-tock, the clock beats in rhythm with the pulse of the battlefield.
The first clash is inevitable.
Both camps have chosen the southern path, making predictions nearly impossible. Tomorrow will be one of the most decisive days of this event.
Until now, the true strength of each camp has remained hidden. But tomorrow, many doubts will be shattered.
Towers rise in the south, lined up beside the tunnels.
Both sides are ready to collapse those tunnels and march into each otherâs territory.
And my story? Tomorrow it enters a new phase.
The stage is set, the tension is rising, and the storm of battle is about to break.
Four Days of Madness â The First Clash Ends
The first real showdown is over.
Four days of nonstop fighting. Sixteen hours a day. Yes, sixteen. My poor keyboard is begging for mercy. 
Every morning, the advantage was ours. By midday, we were pushing forward. But then⊠lunchtime in Japan arrived. 
Suddenly, the battlefield turned into a sushi-powered storm. We had to endure insane pressure until things calmed down again. And then at 14 UTC? Boom. Thatâs when the rival campâs prime time kicked in, and the tide flipped faster than an ant on a frying pan.
Capturing the first lair was brutal. But the three of us stood shoulder to shoulder and fought like maniacs. Honestly, I donât know what wouldâve happened if the enemy had focused on the southern tunnel. Our defense there was shaky. Maybe our strategy wouldâve shifted, maybe not. Either way, they fought to the last second, reminding us: this was just round one. The next stage wonât be easy.
Lessons Learned
- Both camps now know each otherâs strengths and weaknesses.
- With the southern wonders destroyed, phase one is over.
- Everyoneâs cooking up new strategies for phase two.
But the north? Oh boy, the north is different.
The northern wonder is split into three separate zones. Blocking the enemy there requires a whole new playbook. 
Our Edge
Weâve got high morale. Thatâs our weapon.
But hey, Iâve seen pride destroy teams before. So we need to remember: the first mistake could be the last mistake. Our leader knows it. And Iâm sure their leader knows it too.
Three days from now, the final battle begins.
Right now, both camps are chilling, healing up with magic mushrooms 
, and sharpening their ant mandibles for the next storm.
Soon, the war horn will sound.
And in the north, weâll hear the crunch of ant jaws colliding. This time, itâs not just brute forceâitâs a battle of strategists.
I stare at the map, trying to guess which path the enemy will take. And honestly? I canât wait to find out.
Personal Note
Oh, and by the way⊠a few days ago, our leader promoted me to R4.
Iâm happy, though I know plenty of others are more deserving. Still, itâs a chance to learn more and contribute more. Fingers crossed I donât mess it up. 
Final Stage â Day Three Madness
The final stage has begun.
Weâre now on the third day inside the ultimate battlefield. All the old buffs are gone, and every alliance has to rely on fresh ones. That means: build towers, push forward, and reach the wonders.
Our plan? Transfer towers halfway toward the wonders in two zones, then strike the enemy camp simultaneously. Easy? Nope. Still tough as nails. But so far, things are going wellâwe broke through their lines, smashed their towers, and even snatched a level 7 lair right out of their claws.
Of course, we know the Japanese prime-time hasnât arrived yet. Thatâs when the real storm usually hits. Luckily, when they come online, only three hours of protection remain. Those are always the hardest hours for us, but heyâmaybe fortune is on our side this time. 
Allies & Rivals
Today, our teamwork with allies was perfect. Three alliances moving as one, fully coordinatedâit makes the fight twice as fun. Iâm genuinely happy to have such strong partners.
But credit where itâs due: the rival camp fought brilliantly too. Theyâre close, dangerously close. At any moment, the tide could turn. Honestly, I have to thank themâtheyâve made this one of the most unforgettable seasons Iâve ever played. Win or lose, the joy of battle is what keeps the fatigue away.
(And yes⊠I secretly thank ChatGPT too. It helps me finish my stuff faster so I can play more. But shhh 
âif it hears me, itâll force me to buy a premium account. )
Ant R4 Adventures
Oh, and something funny happened. Iâm now in the R4 team.
Though honestly, I doubt Iâll last long. Why? Because Iâm basically drilling into the brains of the other officers with my âridiculousâ plans. Iâm sure R5 already regrets promoting me. 
Anyway, R5 has to sleep around 6â7 UTC, which is super late for him but perfect morning time for me. He asked me to watch over the team while he went to bed. So I raised my ant antennae, stood tall on two legs, and jumped into alliance chat like a responsible officer.
Ten minutes later⊠heâs still awake.
Thirty minutes later⊠still awake.
One hour later⊠still awake.
Three hours later⊠STILL awake.
Bro, werenât you supposed to sleep so I could mess things up in peace? Go to bed already!
Finally, he passed outâprobably fainted with the phone still in his hand. I think he literally saw both sunset and sunrise reflected on his screen today. Respect, brother. 
The Northern Wonder Clash â A New Phase Begins 
This morning, both camps lined up against the Northern Wonder, sending rallies like crazy to claim it. Our camp waited patiently until the wonder dropped to 50% before launching our own rallies.
Breath held. Hearts racing. It didnât matter who dealt the most damageâwhat mattered was who landed the final blow.
Boom! SLF swooped in with minimal damage and snatched the wonder. Victory cries echoed across our camp. 
The rival camp didnât even wait for protection to end and try again. Strange choice. If it were us, weâd have kept pushing. Defending 3 vs 1 is impossible, but at least weâd have tried. Instead, they abandoned the north, didnât defend their towers, and looked like theyâd accepted defeat.
Good news? Our win was secure.
Bad news? The thrill of battle faded.
And just when I was ready to test my shiny new S5 shooter ants (yes, I got both of themâthanks, fairy of luck, keep going, I trust you to gift me all six 
)⊠surprise.
The Twist
They werenât done.
Instead of defending, they started destroying their own camp wonder. In three days, it will be gone. That was a clear message: theyâre not defending any other wonder.
Immediately after, they began tower transfers near our main camp tunnel. Thatâs the sound of total war. 
Theyâre throwing everything into offense. And suddenly, the excitement is back.
Whatâs Next?
The battle isnât over. The ending canât be predicted yet.
With this move, the story of this season enters a new phase.
The war horn is still echoing, towers are rising, and both camps are sharpening their mandibles for the next strike.
Well this season has come to an end. In just a few days, right at the doorstep of 
Christmas, our storerooms 
will be filled with rewards 
from both stages of this event. I hope the kind fairy will be extra generous this Christmas and send us even more gifts .
Itâs been about a week now with no heavy battles . Everyone is resting 
, finishing their personal points 
, and the chat has fallen into a strange silence . Only a few towers remain for friendly skirmishes âtowers that break down to 20% and then get repaired 
.
This season was one of the best experiences 
Iâve ever had in the game. Without exaggeration, I can place it at the very top 
among the 14 seasons Iâve played. And none of this would have been possible without good allies 
, loyal friends 
, and rivals who kept the fight sweet 
until the very last moment with their professional play 
and full strength 
.
Thanks to our rivals
DCs, SCP, and BNC â you were truly outstanding . Playing against you was an honor 
and a joy, even though you crushed my ants time and again and victory reports 
rarely appeared in my list. Honestly, I wished I could see that golden X in my reports, but you denied me that (bad kids ).
Thanks to our allies
TED and SLF â you always stood by us , even in the hardest conditions . You gave everything to keep us together 
and turned our camp into a unified alliance. I hold deep respect 
for you, and I know this victory belongs to having allies like you .
SKY
You stayed together as friends , as always, even in the most critical moments âfighting until the glow of your phone screens finally faded 
. I thank all of you , especially for the times you had to put up with me . You are the best 
and you made me feel as if I was born in SKY 
from the very beginning. I will stay with you forever 
.
Our Leader
A special thanks to our leader Crazy Rooster . Your messages full of kindness 
and respect for every single member are priceless 
. You are the kind of leader one can follow blindly into battle, sword raised high .
Close Friends
Daliane and PHX â you already know how grateful I always am .
đ Babyđ۶ৠâ though we havenât known each other for long , youâve become one of my closest friends . Your support and encouragement 
always multiplied my spirit âwhether in writing my stories or in every moment of battle . You were always there .
This season was not just a competition , but a lasting memory 
âa memory built with respect for rivals , love for allies , and friendships both old and new .
And now⊠Iâve decided to take a break next season 
. There are things I need to do that require some time away 
. After this exhausting competition , Iâll stay in the server 
for one cycle, rest, and then return with fresh energy to continue alongside the great SKY team .
Wonderful as always, my dear friend
