INVASION DIARY - CROSS SERVER INVASION PROJECT - SEMPER FIDELIS

INVASION DIARY - CROSS SERVER INVASION PROJECT

Be aware! We, the alliance Semper Fidelis [-SF-] of EN-Telemachos, are leaving our home server. We have become too strong, and we need new quests! Therefore, we will invade another server! We do a volunteer server merge! We are asphodelizing collectively and join an old server! We will leave everything behind; we will have no backup! Our goals? To establish ourselves as a major military force on the target server. To perpetuate the INT Division of our alliance. In the following time, we will show multiple information about us and our journey!

Stay tuned!

Some data about us:

Our alliance philosophy:

We want to build a safe international homeland base for ourselves. We are a combat alliance. Even though some of us are completely new, many of us are old Ikariam veterans. We usually do wars only if there are legitime reasons for it. However, it is clear to us, that by time, we will have to prove ourselves to the established old dinosaurs. We seek right, integrity and justice. People who dare to attack us, have to reckon with countermeasures.

Our alliance system:

Our team is a democratorship. Our system combines both advantages of democracy and dictatorship. The default option is the Chancellery talking about decisionmaking and voting for the right way afterwards. Very important issues can be decided either by a referendum or a personal decision of the Chancellor, depending, on if the outcome can be allowed to be open, or, if the political environment with secret knowledge and analysis makes a personal decision inevitable. So far about political aspects.

In piracy, we are giving procuration to our overpirate. So, the overpirate is eligible to decide any piracy aspects without asking the Chancellery first.

Our brave soldiers have brought their pets with them:

Lets find out, who they are...

Lets find out, how it started...

Lets find out, where they go...

Lets find out, how it will end...

... with the cute animals and their loyal comrades. The story is just about to begin.

Chancellor of -SF-

This is the correct thread. The other thread is broken.

History Log:

General Alliance Pre-History:

Germany, New Servers of the 2nd generation - We write the year 2021 of Jesus Christ. Kater and his friends are scattered upon various german new servers of the 2nd generation - From DE-Gaia till DE-Hera. Gameforge announces the 30.11.2021 2nd server merge where all the new worlds should shut down - including the youngest german server, not even three months old.

The first alliance ever created, was the -dSB- at DE-Boreas, in the summer of 2014. However, that was a pure mass alliance, capable of nothing, and no good communication at all. The total contra-concept from what we are now. After the 1st merge, it drowned; except for the Turtle Prodigy , we lost everything.

Our first successful DE teams were the -P- at DE-Gaia from 2016 and the -SF- from DE-Hades from 03.03.2017. Although we dominated DE-Gaia quickly, the team wasnt as much grown together by blood and sweat and exams, like our DE-Hades team was, by defeating a whole server standing against us, our enemies supported by foreign-server forces on top. Thats why we regard the 03.03.2017 as our true alliance founding day.

Our team had several medium large accounts as well as people with few 100k points from the latest DE-Hera world. The Chancellery, searching for a solution for how to manage a satisfying merge for all our comrades, found out, that Hollandic teams could join EN worlds, because the NL-Community would be shut down completely. We planned to look for a less large EN target world, ere we found out, that DE teams can only merge to DE worlds. That was, when our alliance split up into two divisions:

Founding of the DE-Division:

Germany, DE-Delta and 3rd server merge - For our older german new world members, it was not a problem; we were able to throw the alliances into one body [の WAR] and fusionate with another small team. However, we still were 80kk points vs. teams with 1kkk and more. With this (from now on our DE-Division) we conquered the old german worlds, fought the old german dinosaurs including humiliating the team, who has been the strongest german war alliance. Our motto always has been: "Staring up from the bottom!", as my comrade Timberwolf Nyze stated. We are currently - since the 3rd server merge, which tripled our points and doubled our member base - living on a german world.

Founding of the INT-Division:

England, EN-Kerberos - For the people on the last german 2nd generation world team, pulling them to the old german servers, would have ended in a bloodbath. As responsible alliance leaders, we remembered the option which was forbidden by Gameforge: A migration to EN worlds. Lucky, as we have been, 6 days after the server merge, EN-Kerberos has been invented by GF.
We convinced the majority of the DE-Hera people to restart at EN-Kerberos - and our INT-Division was born. We regard the 06.12.2021 as the founding day of our INT-Divison prototype. We found a lot of new friends. We also had our first english wing rebellion, but proved ourselves.

Later on, we joined EN-Aeneas at 09.12.2022.

Destruction of the INT-Division:

After a great start on the EN worlds, we found out, that even the EN new servers only live for 6 months at the maximum. So, we planned to join the next PAN world; since PAN-4 and PAN-5 were found shortly, we thought, we could join a new one soon. But Gameforge only brought EN-Nationals for the following years.
In the meanwhile, our DE-Division was nearly at a perma war against the old german dinosaur teams, and we defended successfully. During the time we did nothing in EN, we even launched the first and only successful cross-server invasion against an old DE server. A thing, where our enemies once failed against us. We led to the defeat and split of the old NAVY war alliance on DE-Alpha, ere we fought the ultimative german war, as we finally and successfully challenged the team which was considered the strongest on DE worlds; but this time on our home server.

But this focus on the high success of our DE-Division whilst doing nothing at the INT-Division didnt came without any costs: Our INT-Division fell asleep. And then, suddenly, the 3rd server merge came at the 16.09.2024 (announced much earlier). Nothing has been prepared; we had nothing to compete with the old dinosaurs, because our two sleeping teams were weakened and lost a lot of members. We were forced to close the INT-Division.

Renovation of the INT-Division:

England, EN-Telemachos - Then, after we strengthened our homeland base, and, as we saw our INT-Division in shards, we decided to start again, fully from zero. Fully? No. We had a handful people from the previous EN worlds who were ready to support us; moreover, we had the experience needed to do it in the most efficient way. We knew our mistakes, and we knew what went good. And, in the meanwhile, we got excellent technical support for the background work from our alliance fox DaSoX .

So, we took our ticket at EN-Telemachos at 19.07.2024. And, we have been very successful so far. The Lithuanians as well as the cook fraction turned out to be very active and engaged with enthusiasm. They learned really quick. The same was to say about our Latinos, and multiple other new comrades we found, whilst our alphacat Gemmy helped to track our enemies and improved the discord channel. We stood against Latvian oligarchs who payed the enemy fraction literally everything. We destroyed alliance after alliance. We dominated the server completely; our international division was back again! We will therefore consider the 20.07.2024 as the final founding day of our INT-Division.

First Thoughts about the Invasion:

Christmas time 2024 - As we launched our last war, the war against the Latvian Oligarchs and the Turks, the first questions about what should we do afterwards, rose. Preparing for merge? Starting new worlds? No! Invade! We are proud to announce, that our member Tetux had the idea the first! Nevertheless, the idea was an intangible brainstorm yet. And the path to the realisation - long!

Concretisation for the Invasion:

In the following time, Kater always had some thoughts about this idea. Valuing the risks, the chances, the required work. In the night from the 29.03.2025 to the 30.03.2025, he and his vice leader Timberwolf Nyze had a long conversation about this. Most recently, we lost one of our members, into the inactivity. But our team was highly active and strong; so, we wanted to preserve it. And we choose the strategy of invading an old world; combined with starting the next EN-national, so, nobody gets bored.

However, such a step cant be done by just deciding it alone - without a wide support of at least 2/3 of our comrades, we wouldnt have the necessary strength to invade another world. Our team seemed to be largely in favour of the idea.

Referendum for the Invasion:

So, we invented a referendum at 01.04.2025. Two options have been presented: Staying at EN-Telemachos, or invading any, not yet specified world. At the 04.04.2025, the results have been there. Results factsheet:

- Alliancewide: 92,3% pro Invasion
- Nongerman Carry Players: 100% pro Invasion
- Willingness to Follow Decision: 100%

Military design for the Invasion:

In the meanwhile, at the 02.04.2025, we designed the necessary military preparation needed.

Promotions and start shot!

At 02.05.2025, the new server EN-Kronos opened its gates. Some comrades joined there, whilst we collectively started to asphodelize at EN-Telemachos. Moreover, at 28.05.2025 it was time to promote some carry comrades! Benzo got promoted into the Chancellery for the Invasion world; whilst we promoted Tetux into the Chancellery for the new world.

World choosing for the Invasion:

In the evening of the 05.05.2025, vice leader Timberwolf Nyze and Kater scouted old EN and PAN worlds together, hoping to find good candidates for the invasion target. We found 5 different options: EN-Plutos, EN-Minotaurus, EN-Persephone, PAN-4 and PAN-5. After explaining advantages and disadvantages for each server, we launched a second referendum; this time for choosing our target server.

The comrades had the choice from the 07.05.2025 until the 11.05.2025, and a majority of 42,9% chose PAN-4 to become the homeland server of our INT-Division! Directly afterwards, we requested information from our people to plan our alliance area, which vice leader Timberwolf Nyze and Kater did together, until we released the complete plan at the 20.05.2025.

A new home:

Our spaceships are on their way; the journey is irrevocable; we took everything with us, no backup - only our plan, our look forward, and our new alliance motto, invented by vice leader Timberwolf Nyze :

"Staring up from the bottom!"
