After our dominating win last event everyone was excited to get back to the server and get our rewards. I was able to pull two season ants from my hatches:
SVH has been busy since getting back to the original server. We are starting to prepare for our next event which we believe will be Vast Jungle. The first thing we did was to review member results from last event and make space for new recruits.
We have been in contact with another alliance, Oog from 571, and started to bring all of their members to our server. We took in 15 of their strongest and most active members, while the rest of them went to another alliance on our server until after the event. We have prepared an alliance shell for them to rebuild their alliance on 566.
SVH has now taken in more than 20 new members for our next event and significantly increased our activity and power. We are excited to see what we can do in Vast Jungle! So far, everyone is getting along very well. All of our members are getting acquainted in game and in the SVH discord. We are now at 100/100 members going into the event. Since it was my turn to lead last Barren Land, it will be Achillies turn to take the R5 this event.
The other largest alliance on our server moved to a different server. To keep the peace on 566, we have created a server wide NAP so that smaller alliances have a chance to grow and help our server to thrive. This will keep all the killing and aggression for the events. SVH is leading the way to keep our server alive and well.
Over the coming days, we will continue to prepare for the next event by farming healing speedups and much needed resources.
Vast Jungle seems to take a lot more than other events, and we want to be fully ready by the time we enter the event. We are hoping for some good allies and have already prepared our discord to accommodate the allies we will be paired with. All we have left to do now is wait.

SVH is ready for Vast Jungle! Over the last week, we have finalized our roster, made rank adjustments, and farm speedups and resources. Everyone is getting excited to go back to the Jungle!
In another 4 days we will find out who our allies and enemies are for the event. SVH has selected Golden Acorn Camp as our preferred camp this time. We did very well our last time in this camp allied with RoP, and we are hoping to continue that success in the next event. We will have 100 members going into the jungle.
As we do with all of our events, we have decided to do another alliance event theme. We started a poll in our discord and the overwhelming winner was Halloween and Horror. All the alliance members have a few days to choose the Halloween or Horror picture of their choice. We will select the themed anthill skins in a few days. We find that alliance themes for events shows unity and makes everyone feel more like a team.
Over the next week, we will continue to farm healing speedups and resources for the wars ahead. We want to be fully prepared for whatever Vast Jungle has in store for us. Now it’s just a waiting game to find out our allies and enemies.

The wait is finally over to see the other alliances paired with us for our Vast Jungle event. After days of anticipation, it was revealed SVH’s allies will be BSK and XaM on the Snowy Cedar Camp. Our opponents will be OLD and LND on the Golden Acorn Camp.
On the first day of our pairing, BSK created a Telegram group for alliance leader communication. The original plan was to use the SVH Discord event channels, but XaM would not be able to use it since Russia has now banned Discord. All the leaders started to get acquainted and began our event planning.
The first order of business was to agree on a protection time for our camp. After hours of going back and forth about what the enemy camp might choose, we decided to pick the protection that suited the majority of our camp. Snowy Cedar Camp selected to block the 8 to 16UTC timeframe as this will be our lowest activity. We will wait to see what timeframe the enemy chooses to know our fighting time.
All the alliances have agreed to give BSK the R6 role for the event. This role isn’t too important, other than camp communication mails, as all the allied alliances will be making decisions together during the event. So far, the planning and communication has been very good for our camp leaders.
The last thing we needed to plan before the event was the starting zones for our alliances. After analyzing all the zones, SVH has selected the northwestern Snowy Peak zone. BSK has selected the southeastern Highland of Fur Forest zone. XaM has selected the southwestern Shade Trees Land zone. We feel these zones give us the best chance at obtaining influence, giving access the the zones to the sides, and direct access to the enemy zone tunnels.
We have a couple more days to prepare for Vast Jungle, and we will use our remaining time on the regular server wisely. SVH will continue to farm resources and healing speedups to prepare for the event. We have added a lot of new members and power to our alliance, and we are excited to what we can do. We have a good feeling about our allies this event. We are hoping to extend the SVH undefeated streak with another win.

SVH has finally hit the grounds of Vast Jungle. After a short break on the regular server, we are glad to be back in an event. We finished up our final week on the server gathering much needed resources and healing speedups. Everyone is ready for war to begin!
BSK has taken the R6 role for the event. Snowy Cedar Camp has selected a protection time of 8 to 16UTC when two of our alliances have lower activity. Golden Acorn Camp selected to block 0 to 8UTC as one of their alliances is European and this would be early morning hours for them. This means that all of our fighting will be in the 16 to 0UTC window for the event.
The first week has been all about building towers and taking residences for buffs. All the alliances have taken the initial Wonders to jump start our season ant production. We will continue to build towards all the remaining buildings in our home zones before the tunnels to the next zones open.
We will be using a tactic that we used in prior Vast Jungle events. This means that one alliance will take the Wonder in a zone, while the other two will take the residences to maximize our teleportation. This will allow all the alliances to help in each zone against the enemy. We are still planning who will get the wonder in each zone. I believe the first wars in the event will take place in either the Giant Bear or Rebirth of Elk zones once the tunnels open in 8 days.
Here is a look at the current map:
There is still a lot of time to prepare for when the tunnels open. SVH, BSK, and XaM will be ready to take on OLD and LND when that time arrives. Over the next week, we will all continue to gain more buffs and prepare our T11 season soldier ants. The goal now is to get to 40k honor as fast as possible to maximize our healing fungi for the battles ahead. We will be ready!

Our second week in the event was much like the first. All of the alliances have been building towers and taking residences to gain more buffs for the wars ahead. As the days pass, we are getting closer to engaging with the enemies.
As soon as the campsites opened, Snowy Cedar Camp started building into the new zones. Leading up to the campsites opening, SVH, BSK, and XaM planned and split the buildings and wonders between our alliances. One alliance will take the wonder in a zone while the others take the residences to maximize free teleportation in all zones. The plan is for all the alliances to build on all the campsites before they close in case we need each other at any time during the event.
This is a look at the map as it sits now:
SVH will take the Wonder in the Secret Stash of Squirrel zone. BSK will take the Wonder in the Giant Bear zone. XaM will take both the Violet Jungle and Glacial Fish Wonders. We all agreed that the alliance with the most members over 40k honor would take two wonders being that they are most prepared.
We have another two days before the next tunnels open and the wars will begin. The current plan is for all three alliances to build through the Rebirth of Elk zone to the enemy tunnels. We believe that with cooperation and teamwork we will be able to at least build through the zone and make it to the enemy tunnel.
While the odds are currently against us with the enemy buffs, we hope to hold our ground near the enemy tunnel at least until the tower timing changes. At this point, we will make a full push into the enemy zone. It is still early in the event, but the cooperation between the alliances in my camp has been very good so far. We believe that we have a very good chance of winning this Vast Jungle.

We had high hopes to make huge gains this week. After failed attempts by XaM and BSK to pursue the wonder in the south, all three alliances started to build to take the Elk wonder. The plan was for all three alliances to work together to push through the enemy lines towards the wonder.
BSK made a tower transfer to XaM in the Elk zone, and XaM made one to SVH in the southern zone to make all 3 alliances present in both zones.
A huge war broke out in both zones. After days of fighting, we were pushed back enough to give up our efforts and considered both wonders a loss. SVH was eliminated from the south with only a few towers in that area.
With both wonders that we were pursuing lost, we turned our attention to the wonders that our camp held. OLD and LND continued to push our camp back while starting to plan for our wonders. Snowy Cedar Camp had to switch from offensive to defense as the week progressed.

This week, the enemies made a huge push to take 2 of our wonders. It was a week of defense that turned bad for Snowy Cedar Camp. We were trying to defend two different zones from the enemy.
Although all three alliances tried their hardest to hold what we had on the map, OLD was able to break through and take the Giant Bear wonder from BSK. LND was able to break through in the southern zone to take the Violet Jungle wonder from XaM. The loss of the two wonders was a huge blow to my camp as the enemy buffs were already impossible to deal with.
With the two wonders lost to the Golden Acorn Camp, and with no direct access to the center enemy zones, we decided that this event was a loss. We would continue to fight, but only for fun. The enemy buffs proved too strong to continue to compete in this Vast Jungle event.

This week, the enemy camp turned their attention to the last remaining wonders held by Snowy Cedar Camp. After days of the enemy building towards us, SVH began to build defensive positions around the north wonder for the inevitable collision with OLD.
After hours of fighting, OLD was able to break through and steal the wonder. With the buffs of all the open zone Wonders except one, it is impossible to hold them back. However, that was not from a lack of trying.
SVH continued to fight the enemy around the map, but mainly just for fun and to gain some kills. With all the open zone Wonders lost to the enemy, this event is truly over for Snowy Cedar Camp. The enemies are now planning to take the last remaining wonder in the open zones, as well as our residences.
SVH will begin to evaluate our members and make rank adjustments over the coming week for event rewards. We will also begin to plan for recruiting, looking forward to the next event. We will most likely be going to Barren Land or be waiting for the new event for our next outing, as the buffs are still very unbalanced in Vast Jungle.

Not much has been going on this week in terms of the event. All three alliances on Snowy Cedar Camp have given up trying to enter the middle enemy zones. The buffs of the Golden Acorn Camp are way too high now that we have lost the three wonders, and it is impossible to break through at this point. The enemy gave up on trying to steal the final wonder held by my camp.
During the final week, SVH leadership has been reviewing member participation for this event. We have analyzed different statistics and adjusted our R3 ranks for the final rewards. We change our ranks at the end of every event to reward members based on how they did. Going over the numbers, we have had lower participation compared to previous events. We are hoping that this will change going forward.
With this Vast Jungle all but over, we are starting to look ahead for our next adventure. We are planning to sign up for the new Surreal Wetland event. It seems that everyone is excited to try a new event. I will be taking the lead at R5 next event, as SVH has a rotating R5 position between Achilles and myself. I’m excited to see what we can do.
Once we get back to the original server, we will immediately begin to farm for healing speedups and get resources for Surreal Wetland. Unfortunately, we will need to sign up immediately, as the new event is already in the preview stage while we are in the final week of our Vast Jungle.
We will be making a couple changes in the leadership before next event. There is absolutely nothing wrong with our leadership team, it’s just that a couple of members need a break to focus on real life. SVH will not be heavily recruiting before the next event. While we will be taking in some new members, we know that activity is more beneficial than power. We hope that our activity will pick up going into Surreal Wetland.
While we have lost this Vast Jungle event, we want to thank BSK and XaM for their effort and cooperation the last 6 weeks. Special thanks to the leadership teams that were in constant communication and planning on Telegram. We wish both alliances the best in their future endeavors.
This is Blitzkrieg signing off…
