It’s been a while since I really spend time at the blog, but I’ve gotten around to it, and made some much needed updates. First of all, the biggest update is the inclusion of the new Tactical troops in the Tactical troops article. I had plans to do it as soon as the new troops came out, but simply couldn’t find the time. Now, the Lyncean Raiders and Woodmen are fully covered, plus some minor adjustments.

The second big update is the overhaul of the Hero Equipment article. All available sets, such as Unsung Orc, are now included and described, and the article is structured a bit differently in describing all sets.

Some minor updates included some troop stats in the KoM 101: All Elven and Dwarven troops article, and the addition of the new Population items in the All In-game Items article. More articles are on their way, so stay tuned!

That right there is a picture of the views on my blog from the day I created it till now. It really has gone global, with virtually no developed country not represented by one of you.

When I started this blog, it was out of a request from within my old alliance, to have “senior” players help small players grow in the alliance. I decided that I wasn’t gonna waste time on typing emails, but instead would put some of my ideas on the internet instead. I searched for a good method, and found a blog would fit the needs.

In the above paragraph, I put senior in marks because, compared to now, I was nothing…one of my first posts on How to ask alliance for help, mentioned you should request realistic amounts of rss, and not ridiculous amounts like 1m, because no one had that laying around. Now, when I request rss, I get 10 times that number.

Over time, the number of posts grew, and visitor/view count slowly increased, but nothing spectacular. I began adding tags to posts and signed up the site to my Google account, which helps crawling (SEO optimization). Numbers rose again. I remember the first time hitting a 1000 daily views. But it wasn’t until some of my big articles the view count really started to grow exponentially. The posts on the Campaign spreadsheet and Hero equipment draw hundreds of views a day to this day, and remain the most popular articles. On Google searches, my articles quickly rose in rank.

All this has been a driving force for me to continue to write about this game on this blog. Everyday, I am checking the stats to see if it is gonna be a record day 🙂 . So here, I want to welcome and thank all my visitors for paying a visit and sticking around, it is one of the main reasons for my efforts! Below is a list of all the countries you come from, building that map above… Cheers people!!!

He people, just to let you know: I went on a skiing holiday for the past week, so if I didnt respond to comments, here’s why. But Im back and in the process of catching up with all comments and necessary updates! Stay tuned and thanks for visiting!

So this one guy, Noah_Eissinger, has been really annoying. He flipped one lvl 8 wild every night for some nights. No problem getting it back, just 1 militia needed, but really really annoying. So I decided to send him a message. At first, I just attacked him, got his resources and gold. Then I thought “…wait, I have more heroes…”.

Result, I decided to chain attack the sucker. I found it quite hilarious to see this train of armies rushing towards him. Even funnier is the fact that each of those armies could easily zero him! Pictures below the fold:
