The Battle of the Year! [Update}
atrawall
So in a D3 Battle, me and this guy Anticomunistul had an epic battle in round 2.
Starting with just food fights, at and sitting at the 5 Million mark, we both sat for a few minutes, (Only 30 minutes into the fight.)
We were down on Argentina big-time but were lying in wait.
at about the 45:00 mark, Anticomunistul made his move, there was only 800,000 influence separating us, and he passed in in a few fell swoops.
Not to be outdone, I immediately regained my status on top. at 6 million dmg.
You see, what he didn't know, was that I had plenty of tanks from a recent supply drop, as well as too many bazookas, Energy Bars, Winter Treats and Bazooka Boosters (I played the spin game too much XD)
But you see, I thought this would be easy and completely underestimated him as well.
So I lay in wait. At about the 1:00;00 mark I noticed that he had surpassed me once more. At this point I knew we were going to be fighting the rest of the way.
I laid out a BH Bomb right now, just to show him that I had them.
He was unfazed. Perpetual attacks hitting across the board.
Finally, with at the 1:28;00 mark, he laid out the bombs, to which I immediately countered. At this point, we were both at 24 million and had tipped the influence bar into South Africa's favor. I continued to give him everything I had, and he did the same. We kept the influence bar over 50% for almost 20 minutes regaining the lead and allowing the competition to continue.
It was getting too close, we kept slipping below 50% and dropping just enough to get back over and postpone the battle. The game was beginning to run slow in the refresh, I was out of Energy Bars, Winter treats and Bazookas, despite my perpetual collection of them along the way.
Time was running out...
All I had left were my 2 BH Rockets. I laid them both at once and next thing I know, I can't click the fight button anymore. I "Refresh" and find the happy Battle Hero sign lighting the way.
For a fight in D3, this was the best I've had in the game.
Here's the ending result:
2 minutes later, I find this in my inbox:
Not only is he a fierce fighter on the battlefield, but he's also an incredibly good sport and nice guy.
[Update] So seeing as he was such a great sport and epic fighter AND we had such a fierce competition, I sent him the gold winnings. (I won a TP as well as a ton of Prestige points and spent not much gold at all.
His Response:
Anticomunistal - It was a pleasure fighting with you, and I hope I NEVER have to do it again. o7

D3 is for babbies
Babies with 2x your strength! XD
still for babies
I used to be in D4... Then I got banned 🙁
nice 🙂
EPIC, i love it, you feel the adrenaline pumping and then when BOTH fought for eSA's honor, it just makes it all worth while, in the end it was not about the gold or the medal it was the challange!!
Well done Claudio and Anticommunistul!!
btw D3 is for babies x 2 ; )
You are dangerous 😛
Great story. Voted!
Had something similar happen to me in D2 battle against eArg. Both of us dropping our Christmas gifts, going toe to toe till 1:51 when eArg MU slaughtered us. My competitor (Catalyst666PL from eIsrael) wasa good sport and we both admitted it was a blast!
Pity it was just pissing in the wind compared to those eArg D2 fighters with 20000 strength 🙁
We gotta work on your strength. Let me know if you ever need help or a loan.
It was quite interesting and exciting to read it, but I must say that the whole competition for BH or CH when youre fighting for your own country is pointless and dumb. I think that country should come first and not some trophy or gold. Congrats on winning though 😁))
I agree, in this situation, I came into the battle hoping to win the BH and sway our influence in a time when most of our country was asleep.
Anticomunistul is eRomanian and had some stake in the battle, but ultimately I was fighting for myself, my country and for the BH. I play this game for fun. I don't care for trophies, (I have enough) Gold and CC are flowing out of my pockets, I just do what I can!
Some day I want to grow up to be big and strong like you!
Good job for third Marmaduke!
He won the BH in the 1st battle. I didn't show that. Since he got it for 3 million.... 😑
