history update
* Kix activated the Orb of Doom timer and charged into the EMR group, only a few EMR players had noticed the Orb of Doom in Events tab.
* "KIX HAS THE ORB OF DOOM!!!" Demondan shouted. Seconds later, 1/3 of the EMR group was hit with the Orb of Doom including myself. I was climbing up a hill at the time I was hit. I went from 80% health down to 1% and fell off... fortunately into a mine at the base of the hill. Had the base of the hill not had an open mine, I would've died.
* After the Orb of Doom struck, JKC charged and a skirmish ensued almost leading to the death of Nadrojwhose computer had frozen 1 tile off deed. I don't remember who died but there would've been casualties on both sidesHe was wielding the Sword of Magranon.* The tower was bashed in the end and both sides disengaged. Months later, The Hot Gate would eventually fall and JK forces withdrewtheir defense back to Sparta. === March 23rd, 2014 - The fall of Sparta === As mentioned above in the June 3rd 2013 recount, Sparta was a very old JK deed on Chaos. Although the deed was well defended and housed a relatively large, skilled and active russian playerbase, the outer dirt walls and their longhouses were built on a slope, spiraling around the deed. Many years ago, building houses on slopes was possible however with the introduction of multi-level building, this feature was removed and the developers chose to phase out sloped buildings by making them irreparable. For whatever reason, Sparta did not replace their slope buildings with a flat longhouses on a level dirtwall. I strongly believe the decision to retain their sloped longhouses lead to their downfall as it took away their ability to repair the longhouses and repel the EMR raid on March 23rd 2014. On this day, a few months after JKC pulled back from The Hot Gate, they heavily fortified the south side of Sparta. To circumvent this, EMR loaded up 4 full knarrs of raiders, sailed around Sparta and attacked it from the north. In most circumstanced, this would've been a risky endeavour as it meant the attacking force would be stranded with sea as their only means of escape but this risk was mitigated by the overwhelming manpower of the EMR raid force which was in excess of 40 players initially and later joined by more who arrived by land or in sailboats. JKC responded to the attack by teleporting players into Sparta, fighting back from their token mine (The reinforced mine popped by Rolf sparking controversy - I'll explain later). Blinksyrevived accidentally fell off a slope and was killed by JK - He was carrying the Sword of Magranon. At some point while EMR was digging down the dirt wall, a sizable group of JKC fighters on horseback suddenly appeared from the North. "THEY'RE NORTH OF US!!", somebody shouted into Mumble (The voicechat program we used). Almost immediately, every single EMR at Sparta logged in and scuttled out of their tunnel/mine or building and faced north. I saw the JKC group ride within 30 tiles of Sparta before turning around and fleeing in terror after realising the EMR group outnumbered them about 3-4 times. The JKC group was volleyed by EMR as they tried to escape with chased down and killed in a mine leading to a coastal JK deed called Rats Point. After this last fight, all remaining JKC had teleported back to the north and there was no more JKC resistance at Sparta.
