Welcome back everyone! Jenn from s470’s RoP - Rise of the Phoenix here to update you all on our next journey. After careful discussions with our members on whether they want to visit the Lost Island, the Barren Land or the Vast Jungle, we’ve decided to spend our next vacay on the Barren Land.

We’ve registered successfully for Race of Champions - The Barren Land. Everyone here at RoP is super excited! This will be our 6th Barren Land visit as a family.

Welcoming New Players

From Opponents to Friends

We first encountered the Dragons during one of our Lost Island events. At that time, we were rivals and engaged in intense battles that lasted for hours. Fate intervened once again when we found ourselves matched with them during one of our Barren Land events. This time, we fought side by side in the same camp, and our bond grew stronger. We extended an open invitation to the Dragons, welcoming them to join our clan at any time.

Finally, this season, they made the decision to become part of our family and we all are one big happy clan here at s470.

Barren Preparation

Everyone is stocking up on resources, diamonds, teleports, and speedups to prepare for our journey to the Barren Land.

During the War of Kings event that happens every week, we reached an agreement with our allies from our server to farm speedups by attacking the squirters. Most of our members seized this opportunity to eliminate their unwanted ants while also gaining tons of speedups.

We are currently in the matchmaking period, can’t wait to get to know our opponents and allies soon.

Stay tuned to know more about RoP’s matchmaking on my next post…

Matchmaking

WRECK CAMP

RoP got matched with a level IV difficulty and are part of the Wreck Camp. We got to be allies with AWW of s599 and MvE of s503.

AWWs diplomat was our ally in a previous Barren Land event, and it’s great to work with her once again. We played against MvE on one of the Barren Land events we did before and now we meet them once again but this time we are on the same camp. This will be an interesting event.

STONE CAMP

The Stone Camp has ARI from s208, eBr from s343 and SLF from s612. All of them are new to us and they look like really strong clans. The competition period starts in a few days, can’t wait to play with them soon.

Selection Period

(camp leader, protection time & homezone

CAMP LEADER

We’re in the process of choosing a leader to guide our camp to victory. Each clan’s officers have nominated their candidate, and now we’re eagerly anticipating the final results, which will be announced in few days.

Barren Land Vacay - Week 1

The long-awaited day has arrived — welcome to Barren Land 6.0! As we gather, we were greeted by familiar faces from our camp and new faces from the Stone Camp. Let the adventure begin!

Week 1 is all about preparing yourself, your clan, and your camp for the upcoming battles in the following weeks.

We instructed everyone in RoP to focus on increasing their honor by taking higher level nodes and also by enhancing their buildings. Greater the honor the more the season soldier ants to fight and the more healing fungi one gets to heal their injured ants.

Our camp made it a priority to start building to the wonder on each of their homezone while also capturing the buildings on the path towards the wonder so as to get as much buff as possible soon.

The Stone Camp did the same thing and occupied their wonders in their initial zones in few days providing buff to all the clans of their camp.

It was really nice to watch each clan from both camps take on buildings. Everyone was so organized and well disciplined.

Us RoP we have finished building towers to all buildings and to the clash tunnels. We are eagerly waiting for the clash areas tunnel to open in a few days.

AWW is few towers away from reaching the final building on their homezone and MvE is making their way to the top clash area.

On the Stone Camp, SLF went with the Fossil Shell Relic, ARI chose Limestone Hills, as their initial zone and we have eBr on Crystal Mooreland,

The Stone Camp is doing a great job too and they have built to almost all buildings aswell. SLF and eBr are making their way to the clash tunnels currently. Since their protection only ends at reset they are a little behind in building compared to the Wreck Camp.

Birds-Eye View of each Initial Zone

Given above is an image showing the tower paths towards each buildings in the initial zone of each clan from both the Wreck Camp and the Stone Camp.

Week 1 Milestones

Curious on how the battles in the clash areas went?

Stay tuned for more updates…

Barren Land Vacay - Week 2

CAMPSITE

Week 2 has begun, the tunnels to the south and north clash open in few days. We have few days left to build through each others campsite to support each other on the clash area.

WRECK CAMP

Upon discussion with AWW and MvE, we all decided to build to each others clash area tunnel. So us RoP and AWW built to the north clash which connects MvE and AWW and MvE built south to ours.

STONE CAMP

The Stone Camp built to each others clash. We have ARI and eBr building to the south clash and SLF and ARI building to the north through the campsite.

CLASH AREA

The tunnels to the south and north clash opened. AWW built to both the top and bottom clash. Since we RoP could manage this area on our own as the buff favors us, we asked AWW to help MvE on the top clash.

RoP faced SLF in the purple plateau region. So far we have won all the battles we had and also was able to take back the residence they built to and stop them from advancing any further.

MvE had 1v2 fight on the above clash they lost a little ground but they are doing really well. Now AWW is there to help them and both of them have been strategically planning tower placements to engage with ARI and eBr.

The middle clashes tunnel opened too and during our opponents protection period we used that as an opportunity to build to the buildings in that clash to gain buffs for our camp and once their protection lifted we were ready for war. The opponents were doing the same thing on gaining as much buffs as they could on the pedestal clash.

Week 2 Milestones

Who will occupy the top clash?

Stay tuned for week 3 updates…

Barren Land Vacay - Week 3

Week 3 is here!! Without further ado, let’s see how things went in each clash for the Wreck Camp and the Stone Camp.

We RoP continued building towards the buildings occupied by SLF and took them back while also building towards the rest of the unoccupied buildings in the clash when our opponents were under protection. We also had ARI join SLF in this clash here. We managed to take away all the buildings they grabbed. Towards the end of the week SLF kinda gave up and left to the north clash to help ARI and eBr instead.

MvE and AWW engaged with ARI and eBr on the top clash. Even though they weren’t able to secure the top clash they both did an amazing job working together as a team in fighting ARI and eBr. They fought for hours daily and did their best.

SLF put up some good fight to defend their towers and buildings from being destroyed and taken. Whereas ARI was more focused on the north clash so they didn’t defend much on the south.

I must say I am very proud of everyone in RoP for the efforts they put. We had such a high level of participation that it was even very hard to get a spot in the towers while fighting and it kept getting full in seconds as ones troop was defeated.

It being the Stone Camp’s most active time and them also having the buff favoring them on the top clash it was little hard for AWW and MvE. But they beautifully coordinated the attacks daily and never gave up which is what is important.

MIDDLE CLASH AREA

We split the middle clash among ourselves so we could get as much buff as possible before the tunnels to the other clash where we meet all three clans from the Stone Camp was to open.

AWW did a tower transfer to MvE so they could get some buffs taking some buildings too when our opponents were under protection.

MAIN CLASH - THORN MONOLITH

Upon discussion with MvE and AWW on which tunnel we each plan on taking and on how we were gonna get there, we decided MvE does a tower transfer to us RoP on the top tunnel and that AWW builds to the tunnel through the campsite and takes the tunnel once we have taken it and that MvE comes through the tunnel below.

On the other side on the Stone Camp, eBr did a tower transfer to SLF on the bottom tunnel and had ARI build through the campsite to the tunnel SLF was to take. eBr came through the one on the top.

We planned on building to the wonder as soon as possible to secure it from the opponent.

The image on the left shows progress of each clan few hours after taking tunnel and the image on the right is the progress on how our week 3 on BL ends.

Week 3 Milestones

Excited to know how things went in the clash?

Stay tuned for week 4 updates…

Barren Land Vacay - Week 4

Welcome to Week 4 of RoP’s thrilling Barren Land Vacation, everyone! The excitement is at its peak as we dive deeper into our adventure, facing new challenges and creating unforgettable memories. Let’s see how this week unfolded, shall we?

Here is a short recap of what happened in week 3 in the clash area. So each clan from both the Wreck Camp and the Stone Camp focused on reaching the wonder as soon as possible to secure the area. SLF reached the wonder first, followed by MvE then RoP, and ARI. eBr focused on grabbing buffs from the buildings near the tunnel they came through before reaching the wonder.

The Stone Camp’s main goal was to push us away from the wonder. So they planned on a 3vs1 on us. Once protection lifted for our camp we discussed with both AWW and MvE on where we wanted them to support us during the 3vs1 and built accordingly.

Week 4 started with a 3vs1. Everyone in RoP was prepared for the fight that was set to happen. We asked all our members to save stamina as much as possible. Though our allies tried to take a little pressure off us by taking down SLF’s and ARI’s towers from the other side near the wonder the opponents ignored their towers on the other side of the wonder and continued to focus on our towers.

After hours of fighting all 3 clans throwing in all our stamina, fungi and ants we emerged victorious. We RoP kept all our towers and stood strong. We continued destroying the towers of our opponents. Soon MvE came closer to us from the other side of the wonder and helped take over the opponents tower.

The following day our camp continued pushing the Stone Camp away from the wonder while also grabbing buffs from buildings near us and taking away the buildings which the opponents grabbed before us. We continued to support each other whenever and wherever needed.

Since both us and AWW already had 2 wonders—one in our initial zone and another in the clash areas— we decided to let MvE have the wonder here so we would all be equal.

Once again, for the second time, we faced a 3vs1 situation with the Stone Camp , this time for a lair they aimed to take away. We were victorious once again. MvE also helped us destroy them from the other side.

The picture on the left shows the occupation of each clan in the clash area, while the picture on the right depicts how our week 4 ended.

I must appreciate everyone from the Stone Camp for their hard work and amazing coordination, especially eBr , who never gave up and continued to fight daily.

Week 4 Milestones

Tunnels to the tree region open in a day.

Stay tuned for week 5 updates!!

Barren Land Vacay - Week 5

Week 5 is here, and you know what that means? TREE TIMEE!! Everyone is so excited on who would win the tree this season. Let’s see how things went shall we?

Tunnels to the land of abundance opened. ARI, eBr and SLF was forced to enter the tree area through the left side as we blocked them on the top clash from getting anywhere near the tunnels.

After discussing and voting we decided to split ourselves on which tunnel we wanted to come through. Since the south tunnel was closer to us RoP, we decided to come from below along with AWW and MvE through the north so we are all evenly split to face the Stone Camp and also block them from the tree.

Us RoP had a closer path to the tree followed by the Stone Camp’s eBr alliance. We made our way towards the tree as soon as possible while also taking the residence and lair that was on our path. We soon had eBr catch up with us near one of our towers on the way to the tree so we had some battles which we defended successfully before our protection hit. MvE had the longest path to the tree and protection for our camp hit right when they almost reached the tree.

The Stone Camp had 8hrs to build when we were under protection. eBr built towards the left side of the tree during that period. SLF & ARI built towards us in such a way we would face a 3vs1. We were able to hold the ground and push all the 3 clans from us. MvE was able to destroy all of eBr’s tower near the left side of the tree.

While waiting for the trees difficulty bonus to drop, we continued destroying all of Stone Camp’s towers and capturing the buildings they had taken initially.

TREE TIME

We planned on having all 3 clans of our camp hit the tree together at the same time and the clan that’s lucky to get the last hit would get the tree. Upon discussion 18:00 UTC was scheduled as to when we were to start as it was more convenient for everyone to participate and also the opponents would be under protection.

The tree looked crazy with all rallies and marches running from all sides. This was one of the fastest tree capture one could say.

AWW got the last hit on the tree. Congratulations AWW!! This was one of the best camp we’ve been on and we had such amazing allies.

The image above shows on the left side on how the land of abundance was on day 1 when tunnels opened and on the right side how it currently is. Love the never giving up character that our opponents have. They never failed to engage with us battles whether small or big. Hats off Stone Camp

Week 5 Milestones

Stay tuned for the final update next week!!

Barren Land Vacay - Week 6 (final week)

We have entered the final week of our stay at the Barren Land, and it’s hard to say goodbye to our allies and opponents. This season has been an incredible journey filled with fierce battles, strategic alliances, and unforgettable moments. We’ve learned a lot, grown stronger, and created memories that will last a lifetime.

In the last few days before we go back home, we played with all the clans from the Stone Camp in the tree area. We’ve also had some fun fights in the Thorn Monolith Clash zone, where we were close to one of the eBr buildings.

MvE played a little with eBr on the top clash as well as with all the other clans in the tree region. AWW continued to eliminate all the opponents from the land of abundance and with that the event came to an end and it was time to say goodbye.

Congrats to all our champions at Wreck Camp! Your hard work and dedication have paid off in the sweet taste of victory. Enjoy every moment of this well-deserved win!
