Hello everyone,

This current M3 era has been a roller-coaster ride. What are your thoughts?

Ignite

In.

DBA are amazing
They killed 3 teams and their subs
They got back stabbed by the entire world and yet they still survive
I say they deserve a medal for their hard work

This era was fun.

We have seen it all colors.



Cheers for a competitive era.

what a self-congratulatory team. I'll revel in the team's victories too shall I? #Bandwagon

This current M3 has been an era of utter shock and surprise. The alliance that started out as AtoB (Alpha Epsilon Kappa Delta Beta) started the era in a very fast paced manner, with a tick 5 war being declared on the alliance RFW, this war continued for approximately 130 ticks, within this time the two alliances were in a spam war, constantly gaining and losing ground while other alliances expanded around them. In the key battle that turned the tides of war it was a 30 squads vs 30 squads situation in which AtoB locked down their own squads to trap the incoming 30 squads. This battle was won by RFW but with extremely high losses, and it seemed like AtoB would be down and out, but within 30 ticks AtoB produced another 30 full squads and pushed RFW back down into their hive and finally the war was over. RFW was conquered and every army was killed. After this initial war we had time to start expanding seriously and working out where we stood in the world and whom we could and couldn't trust. As a team we had decided who would be our allies for the era and we had decided on xUAx and our only sub DBS. As the era progressed we decided that the alliance AS was too much of a threat, they had held a lot of territory and had decided that they wouldn't be willing to hand over the resource outposts when we requested them. This lead to us having to start another war, within 12 hours it was over. They had all been killed and many of them relocated across the world to "safer" pastures. After having beaten AS we thought we would be able to expand and build up some more without having to go to war yet again, but soon after we killed AS we were informed of a planned backstab from the rank 2 team TLOP, we were shown mass messages explaining their plan and also shown skype chat logs involving multiple alliances who were involved in the planned attacks. As soon as this was discovered we planned our own attacks and set them very swiftly into motion, with this their entire network was taken and they were pushed back into their island very quickly, the first major kill of this war was had by Shadowcat in which she killed 25 squads sitting on a Gate which we had locked down. Very quickly followed the rest of the alliance being killed on their colonies. During this time there was a lot of talk of backstabs and a lot of trash talk on the broadcasts trying to flame us for what we had done. Once the war was over we had decided to change the alliance tag to DBA (Death by Activity) As we had shown to the world that we were prepared to be 24/7 active at any times. We were again pushed into 24/7 activity by 4E as they had been sitting and building anti us for the era, the war with 4E was the longest lasting war up until that point with them spam bombing constantly with their subs. Once the war was over we had decided to keep what relics we had and prepare for the rest of the era for any eventuality. When the last relics dropped we collected which ones we could, we collected 2 where as xUAx and xUAz collected the last ones, in total we had 5-6 relics and xUAx and xUAz had the remainder of relics. When we decided to collect the remainder of relics we informed everyone whom held one and attacked them. Then it happened. xUAz, WR, 4E, HOPE, ToR, DDT, DTD and TTD (all i can remember) all attacked us with a huge spambomb all at once, forcing us back into our hive. With no network and against the hugest of odds we decided to "turtle up" and let them come to us. As they pushed in they were every time forced out by our armies, slowly we killed them off one by one as they came, pushing for the 7 relics we maintained. It took one huge battle to show the world that we were not going down. That battle was between us a R, they launched a 130 squad attack at the same eta as a nuke onto what's colony, this meant we were able to lockdown an outpost and relocate what to the outpost so the lockdown would keep them in place. Everyone had already launched to his what's colony to defend but we launched on delay to 2 ticks behind them so they would be sat on 2 ticks of radiation before we landed. The moment of truth came and we hit. Losing only 1/3rd of our armour we came out of the battle having killed 8 players and knocking them down from 1k power to 3-400 power. After this the world saw what we were capable of and slowly backed down. DDT got away with one of the relics very early in the war and held it over their hive but peace was established with them. WR let 5 armies sleep on our border so we killed those just before we started our expansion again. Making our way slowly out in a radius around our hive, clearing all hostile ops and building our camp wall to secure our island. Our once allies xUAx had changed leadership and name to FDF under the leadership of Liquid, he would not hand over the relic nor the resource ops he took from people who took them from us, along with this they had scavenged 100+ crystals from their sub who renamed to R. This right here sealed their fate. We prepared and rebuilt our network and when we believed we were ready we went to war again, pushing hard to regain land we push into FDF territory and their hive and the first major fight was lost by us, 1 member went offline in the FDF hive and was nuked and killed while the rest fought, a single FDF member made a rush to our hive, killing another one of us on his way. things looked bad for us, 2 members down and against 10 we pushed on, killing everything we could systematically. Eventually it all boiled down to one fight, they had 3 major members on 1 colony, we hit and we killed them all. Following this we killed each member one by one and took back everything they had taken from us. Now with 8 relics we were eager to end the era and finish what had already proven to be an insane era. At this point, SWAT had appeared on the world and were eager to fight, currently warring DDT they pressed hard and forced DDT to relocate to us. Collecting the 9th relic from DDT meant we had only 1 choice and that was to war SWAT. Preparing carefully we went for it. pushing hard and fast we cleared up the SWAT and SW4T network and forced them back into their hive, very quickly there was a lockdown and SWAT were forced to relocate a colony and prepare for a huge fight, at 8vs9 SWAT looked confident with the battle but were mixed chassis, meaning we had an advantage. The shield finally dropped and we hit. Losing a lot of Armour we were low but we had gained huge amount of XP for our already R4 and R5 and experienced units. After this fight we pushed into the SWAT and SW4T hive and collected the relic and the crystals, as we were leaving the area a nuke hit and put over 1000 SW4T vehicles down to 1 hp in which were killed by 19 squads. With all 10 relics we're not waiting for M3 to finish. I am going to post every major BR that we have managed to find and keep for everyone's viewing pleasure.

Thank you everyone who played for an amazing era

Here I am going to post each BR that we have accumulated across M3, unfortunately it starts some way into the era and there is a mix and match as to where they would fit during the timeline but here it is, a mostly full list of BR's:
