Most of the 2013 news has become corrupt sorry but some has been recovered shown below.
SOF betrayed! And destroyed! - September 2013
DH has launched a continual assault at SOF's base, for several hours, greatly weakening SOF's morale. SOF were forced to retreat many times and move to a base in ruby where the clan tried to reorganize itself. At this point SOF's Leader and Founder, Crayvalley, betrayed his own clan and joined DH. Cray saw no hope so left his clan and abandoned his members. Puma, one of Cray's close friends, took charge and prepared for the final showdown. DH followed SOF to ruby and continued its assault with its new member Crayvalley. Puma however, whom was friends with Cray, stood back and watched SOF get annihilated while its loyal members, such as Shock, Volt, Tiger etc... tried its best to fight for the clans survival, but all in vain.
SOF laid down its arms and surrendered, as it's founders just stood back and watched. Today is the end of SOF. A horrible end to SOF's reign. They faced many hardship battles with DH and even won a few but only in vain to be betrayed by, not one but, two of it's leaders/founders. Very few clans are left to challenge DH.
Picture of Cray and Puma watching SOF getting annihilated:
DH's elite training ~ 1st August 2013
The ramp trap tactic. How it works basically people start to chase DH up the ramp and DH slowly back up while attacking at the same time so while they're slowly moving backwards the enemy are continuously moving into DH's attacks. For it to work effectively, they need to all stick together and attack as much as possible while trying to avoid some of the enemy's attacks by back stepping.
This will ensure DH deals damage every time while the enemy only gets a few hits in here and there which makes it one of the best tactics to use especially if you're outnumbered but that's the same for even when you outnumber the enemy, it's a good tactic to use whenever really. DH have added a little twist to it which is to rotate 180 and start going back down again and then back up and back down to avoid drifting off like many clans have done in the past while using this tactic, you end up all over Sherwood and it could get really messy and break formation. DH are by far the best clan when it comes to training, they aren't the biggest but numbers aren't everything.
Now The Elements?! ~ 31th July 2013
SOF have once again changed their clan name to POB and are using elemental names exactly like Reptilians old clan ))E(( the clan Cray used to be in. It looks like SOF are experimenting with new names and ideas first before deciding on what they actually want to do. I believe this is a result of Cray deciding to make everyone equal so everyone is coming up with new random ideas or old ideas in this case. SOF will remain on the top ten list under its original name but will be removed from #1 until it becomes a proper clan again.
I don't think Cray really wants to run a clan he never really seemed keen on the idea which he has proven a few times already and thus the reason for ''equal ranks'' and all these random ideas. I think it's fun and a lot of people will like it, so if you're someone is seeking for an adventure then SOF is the clan to join.
The Spartan UPRISING ~ 30th July 2013
SOF now known as TSL (The Spartan Legends) have broken away from UC and in the process stealing a few DV members and recruiting them into TSL.
TSL secretly gathered together organizing the uprising. Cray (Although a little hazy about his ideas) wants TSL to be exaxtly how the spartans were e.g. all TSL members from now on are all equal their will be no ranks also TSL will now be a full pledged war clan. TSL will concentrated soley on training and the invasion of other clans they will not settle in any room but keep on the move destroying clans and then recruiting the members.
According to Cray, SOF were just carrying DV thus the reason why he has betrayed them. Once this news gets out i doubt UC will still exist, DV will most likely leave UC and join Soul and his reformed DV. It's pretty obvious DV and SOF (TSL) will once again be independent. A lot of people saw this coming as soon as we heard about UC, DV and TSL will always be enemies they are both two very different clans. Anyway, this new TSL idea sounds interesting and we will surely hear more from them soon until then peace.
Soul leaves UC ! ~30th July 2013
Soul posted this on the DV guestbook, stating that UC was made behind his back. I caught up with Soul earlier and asked him what he meant by this. He said, "I literally woke up one morning, checked CNN and saw the article about DV+SoF merging, at first i thought it was a joke so i logged on to Sherwood to find everyone in 78 wearing UC tags. I was outraged that someone allowed this to happen, DV's 6 year legacy was over in a night because of a stupid decision. I didn't enjoy my time in UC very much and won't be returning to it, besides "UC" is an awful tag. DV will become a small roaming group.
So there you have it folks! DV is back as a "small-roaming group" How will this effect UC ? Or won't it effect them ? Only time will tell..
UC Raids DH ~28th July 2013
The leader of DH (Exile) has said in past raids on numerous occasions ''If you leave the courtyard, you lose'' which is true.. so going by Exile's own rule, DH lost more times in one battle than TQA has in its life time. DH however did kill a lot more UC than UC kiled DH by using the ramp tactic, but as stated above, leaving the courtyard is an automatic loss. The courtyard is considered the base, once the courtyard has been taken that clan then owns your base (Its called invasion).
One of the many times DH has ran up the ramp when on the verge of defeat:
A picture of a bunch of DH together just in case they claim the raid was unfair:
Exile and a couple of others were lower down the ramp but as you can see DH were not greatly outnumbered it just seemed it whenever UC were attacking them.
As the battle went on it ended up being 11 DH vs 14 UC and DH still kept using the ramps, it got so out of control the battle at one point ended up right at the top of the tall tower that's how much back stepping was involved.Due to the fact DH left the courtyard numerous amounts of times just to avoid being cleared UC take this one. Its an automatic loss as soon as the whole courtyard is clear, using the ramp is allowed as a tactic and a great tactic it is it gets you lots of kills but abandoning the courtyard all together is not allowed as the courtyard is considered the actually base not anything else in the room.
UC VICTORY !
Please note:
On this site we follow strict rules and everyone even DH would agree leaving the courtyard to the enemy means you lose. DH may try to change this rule after today just to simply claim victory.
The new age of UC ~ 28th July 2013
A shout out to all SOF and DV members also a little bit of information on what UC is and how it was formed:
The number 1 and 2 clans of Sherwood have joined forces and to my surprise it was decided upon over night so a lot of members logging back on the next day are in for a little shock as i was.
The UC website is: http://www.78uc.tk/
I'm wondering if the top ranks from both clans are going to work well together their did seem to be a lot of hate towards each other before this merge also, the members are made up of ex DH and SD who picked to join either DV or SOF to avoid the other but now they have been forced to merge into the clan they dislike so i wonder how they will react to this. In all fairness i can see this working if everyone gives it a chance, give it ago and will see what happens from there.
Exile brings back DH ~ 27th July 2013
Well, Exile dismantles DH in a temper tantrum because of his members fighting each other and now regrets it and brings it back to life. We didn't see this coming (Sarcasm). DH are already gathering up ex-members to re-join but a lot of them are not. A few have decided to go back to DH because of the recent alliance between SOF and DV. Ex DH members are not fond of DV and a few have left SOF because of it. The DH members that have joined AB don't seem to be budging at the moment. DH have only recently come back so we will give them time to grow before fully judging them but at the moment it doesn't seem like DH are getting many of their members back, we will see...
New feature in Sherwood ! (Beta) ~ 27th July 2013
A new feature has been implemented into the game which allows you to design your own islands. This feature was added 2 days ago but we only just found out i know terrible news site :D even so most of you don't know about it.

When you enter the in-game feature you will be presented with an empty island and a toolbar as shown:
The toolbar is what you use to add your objects, change texture, change islands, change the sky and more:
Above is a random castle i quickly made to show you once you have finished your design you can go to 'view' in the toolbar and select 'Character' to start roaming around your new island, then simply go back into view and select 'design' when you want to go back to editor mode. You can save your design under file and also exit back into teleport 1. It's really basic stuff and isn't hard to use just takes some getting used to. To go into design mode type /design
This is only the beta version is more is to come. At the moment you can not make your room public to other people but once its complete it will cost about the same price as a pet to publish it.
To most this would be pointless but for clan leaders you can have your own private training grounds or have wars with other clans without anyone interrupting etc..

SD Attacks SOF ~ 26th July 2013
I literally just finished watching and writing about the other two wars and then suddenly SD pops -.- here we go again lol going to keep this one short though.
SD came into SOF's base with equal numbers and the battle went on equally for about 15 mins and then TIW uninvited joined the battle and sided with SOF which tipped the scales against SD.
Over the last 10 mins SD were greatly over run mainly by SOF but with the help of some TIW and AB. TIW and AB aren't even allies with SOF, it appears SD have one too many enemies which is a diplomatic fault. Helpers are acceptable in battles only if the original clan still exceeds in numbers which in this case SOF did.
ANOTHER SOF VICTORY (with help)
DV surprise attacked by TIW - 26th July 2013
DV had just finished fighting with SOF and were recovering back at base when TIW shows up out of nowhere and bombards the weakened DV forces. DV were worn out and immediately asked for assistance from Myrtan, FDR of Fi and anyone else they could muster up to help. Fi joined the battle and helped balance the scale. The battle was even until more and more DV were returning and trying to spam back into base. Friends of DV were also joining in which eventually had TIW outnumbered. TIW retreated and gave DV the victory.
A video and pictures of the battle can be seen here:
DV Attacks SOF ~ 26th July 2013
(Boa caught passing a bit of sly gas during the battle away from the crowd in hopes nobody would see) This was considered an ''even war'' under the rules of war laid out on this site check them out if you haven't read them. The battle was almost even i have a picture below near the start of the battle showing DV only having 1 or 2 extra people than SOF:
The battle went on for another 30 mins and a lot of SOF's side were made up of AB and LC members even so SOF + Helpers were causing DV to struggle. LC who were helping SOF decided to go green and became neutral which then evened up the sides again.
The battle raged on and DV were on the losing side once more and to my surprise DV withdrew from the battle. Due to DV withdrawing the battle as they were losing the win goes to SOF and a great victory it was. Although SOF had a little help from two AB members and an LC member at the start which tipped the scale slightly in SOF's favor i can still say this was a fair battle as DV did have the starting advantage of 2 members more than SOF.
SOF VICTORY !
SOF Raids TNR ~ 26th July 2013
This one was a raid as stated in the 'Rules of War' any clan that attacks another which has around 5+ less members is considered a raid, attacking with ridiculously amounts of people vs a few isn't considered a raid or war its just seen as cowardice but going back to the raid, yes it was a raid, SOF were their same old usual color red and TNR yellow as shown:
Picture of start of the raid:
As you can see TNR were outnumbered andafter about 10 mins they were easy enough to declare victory upon. Only a few TNR were standing and SOF returned back to base. Raid wins are not valued as much as even wars but still a victorious raid for SOF.
SOF VICTORY!
SOF has returned ! ~ 25th July 2013
DH destroyed both DV and SOF but ever since DH's end, both DV and SOF have prospered greatly. DV have shot up in strength and SOF have returned almost as strong as DV ! It's funny because the clan that destroyed them has now basically fed these two clans through it's own destruction and a lot of DH's recruited and trained members have gone to these two clans. You could say DH was basically a boot camp and now the members have returned back home. I spoke to Cray the FDR of SOF and he had this to say:
Some may see his words as arrogant but there is definitely some truth to what he is saying. It seems a lot of people are loyal to SOF and will go running straight back to it whenever it's brought back to life. SOF is a fun clan to be in but it can also be a little cheesy lol. They do use phrase from the movie ''300'' which is of course cheesy but fun and they are very war-like just like the Spartans. Cray also said:
Well the word ''begged'' is a rather strong word to use when talking about DV's LDR as i was interviewing him, perhaps cray has no fear of DV whatsoever, they are most certainly from what i have seen not that far behind them in terms of strength it would make an interesting war indeed. At the moment SOF do not want to ally with DV of course but they also don't want any trouble as of yet. Cray also went on to talk about Exile. Cray basically stated that Exile ''apparently'' let DH disburse in the way he wanted it to so he could later steal back his members. To me it just seems like Exile is trying to lesser his defeat although Exile has been known to bounce back, he seems to have the fame and credentials to bring back any one of his past clans at any time but of course the timing has to be right and the timing certainly isn't right as of now but we will see what happens.
Pictures of SOF to show off their already current might !
I asked if SOF could line up for a picture and as you can see they are back and as strong as ever.

DH Has Fallen ! 23th July 2013
A crazy turn of events happened today. DV is once again back in 78, and DH, lays in ashes. So many crazy things happened today, with arguments between Sun & Fusion, Tiger & Demented, and many many more! DH literally tore itself apart, with DV watching on the sidelines. DV jumped on DH as the members of the clan were at each others throats. While DH were too busy fighting, DV was grouping in 96, with notable DH members like Zorg and Demented quitting for DV.
In DH's dying hours, DV began to soar in activity, while DH plummeted. DV organized it's ranks & began a raid to retake 78 from DH as they knew they were weak, however this happened to be at the exact same time DH were having their closing ceremonies, so they left 78 without putting up much of a fight, with the clan closing officially mere moments later. DH will be remembered for being #1 from early February to late July.
Only this message remains on the DH website:
DH has fallen on 7-23-2013. Sun erased the website of DH. Gag betrayed the clan. Sun's clan BC was killed. Exile couldn't take enough. Demented was always trashed on, Earth was always loved. Shadow was always liked even tho he was inactive. DH will never be remembered again. The Ottoman Empire has fallen. The Russian Empire has once again won.
Few pictures in memory of DH, you can also check the old news on this page for more DH history:
BA Attacks NRG ~22nd July 2013
BA are blue NRG are Aqua:
As you can see above both sides were equal in numbers. Neither side really dominated during the match.
End of the battle:
In the end, BA withdrew from the battle while NRG were still standing strong which meant BA failed to dominate / clear thus making it stalemate.
TH Attacks NRG ~ 21st July
Picture showing colors of each side. NRG aqua and TH red:
Sky view picture of the start of the battle:
As you can see above NRG slightly had TH outnumbered by one or two people but nothing significant. The battle went on like this for about 10 mins until a noticeable difference in TH numbers started to show. TH were losing members and NRG were gaining. Whenever attacking a clan you need to make sure you have at least 3 or 4 people more than them because the enemy clan will have members logging in all the time going straight to base (the room you're attacking) so for each member TH lost it got replaced by an NRG and soon lead to NRG massively outnumbering TH.
End of battle:
TH were totally cleared from the field and honorably accepted defeat and went back to base.
NRG VICTORY !
MephIsto trying to convert DV into GW?! ~ 21st July
A ''private'' conversation between Nani FDR of TQA and Mephisto.
DV's newest member Mephisto leader of the old and once respectable clan GW (Gods of War) has joined the ranks of DV but only to ''take control of it''. GW has been dead for years but mephisto has refused to let go of it which has given him delusional motives to take control of DV and turn it into GW.
Nani was totally against Mephisto's plan and tried to talk him out of it but meph kept finding reasons to why it would work:
He believes because pat once ''betrayed'' DV the members will do the same back and he will use this to his advantage.
He even talked about Cradle from BW (Commonly known as Exile) leaving BW and taking half the members with him. Meph think's he can do something similar to DV. Doesn't matter what time of the day it is or what room you're in, if you say such information out loud there's a chance you'll be exposed on here but don't let me put you off please continue, it keeps this site going.
BA are attacked and overpowered by TIW - 20th July
BA who are usually the ones doing the attacking, were attacked by another aggressive clan known as TIW. BA had a taste of its own medicine as TIW overpowered the inactive BA forces. However, as usual, Apollo never gives up and keeps on fighting forever. Although TIW dominated the raid, Apollo ensured that BA didn't lose so easily.
Apollo fighting to the death against overwhelming force:

GW has been dead for years but mephisto has refused to let go of it which has given him delusional motives to take control of DV and turn it into GW.
Nani was totally against Mephisto's plan and tried to talk him out of it but meph kept finding reasons to why it would work:
He believes because pat once ''betrayed'' DV the members will do the same back and he will use this to his advantage.
He even talked about Cradle from BW (Commonly known as Exile) leaving BW and taking half the members with him. Meph think's he can do something similar to DV. Doesn't matter what time of the day it is or what room you're in, if you say such information out loud there's a chance you'll be exposed on here but don't let me put you off please continue, it keeps this site going.
BA are attacked and overpowered by TIW - 20th July
BA who are usually the ones doing the attacking, were attacked by another aggressive clan known as TIW. BA had a taste of its own medicine as TIW overpowered the inactive BA forces. However, as usual, Apollo never gives up and keeps on fighting forever. Although TIW dominated the raid, Apollo ensured that BA didn't lose so easily.
Apollo fighting to the death against overwhelming force:
SD a dying clan? ~ 19th
SD's activity has gone way down since the return of DV, coincidence? i don't think so. Though SD probably got the worst of it other clans such as DH also lost a few members because of its return. I have checked SD's base activity regularly in the last couple of days and its been empty most of the time. We will see what happens.
The founder of Defiance from the SD guestbook:
Defiance states his own reasons for SD's lack in activity but the fact reminds SD is dying, a once powerful clan (#2 on the top ten clans) now struggling.. this must be really stressful for defiance and it's going to put a lot of stress on his members to up their recruiting efforts.
DH's recruiting tactics ~ 18th
DH have come up with some pretty smart and ruthless tactics to improving the activity of DH since the new DV is starting to become a threat already. Firstly DH's smart recruiting tactics:
A pet and training from an all time top 10 fighter sounds extremely appealing. DH members have already stepped up their efforts and i can see DH growth increasing dramatically in the next few days but then as always slowing down again.
For the dirty tactics, DH have been ordered to recruit everyone especially DV members or members trying to join DV. I tested this myself, i went on a random name in DV base asking to join DV infront of a DH member and the DH member told me DV was garbage and i should join DH if i want to ''become noticed and ever have a chance of being a good fighter''.
NRG's current affairs ~ 17th July
More often i shall give you guys an update on different clans future clans or current plans etc.. i spoke with brandondogg the FDR of the newer NRG (I have to say newer NRG since he isn't the original FDR of NRG). We spoke about NRG's current situation on who their enemies were and who they were planning on attacking. Brandon said he want's to avoid conflict in emerald and concentrate his attacks solely on clans in other servers who think emerald is weak:
This is completely different to clans in Emerald who most wish to solely prove they are the best. He doesn't want NRG to get involved with the on-going war between DH and SD but believes DH are the stronger clan at the moment but wasn't sure on who would win overall.
Anyone who thinks emerald is weak have NRG to answer to :)
20 TIW Attack a couple of DH members ~ 16th July
A lot more TIW were standing around but as you can see in the above picture a mass of TIW went to DH's base which only had about 5 people in it of which one was a DH member. 20 TIW Attacked 1 DH member and the fight actually lasted for about 10 mins. 2 more DH members appeared but TIW soon after started to leave the room claiming victory and shouting ''We will close TE'' like they were a web browser. This is not considered a battle at alll thus this is not a win for TIW. I'd also like to point out that attacking a couple of members from another clan is just embarrassing and there is no need for it you gain nothing but a bad reputation from doing it. Always check to see how many members the other clan has. It should be a 1:1 ratio but it's common for clans to allow for a few extra members. 20 vs 1 is funny, nothing more. If you don't want your clan to be shamed in front of the hundreds of people who check out this site daily then try to stick close to the 1:1 ratio rule.
Site closed for construction ~14th July

Deo Volente has returned! ~13th July
How will this remake of a once powerful clan go? So far they have the 2’nd most active clan since being reformed, with many old clan members returning, along with many new faces looking eagerly to jump into the legendary clans ranks!
They are based in room 96, and as I’m sure everyone could have guessed they are once again using their traditional blue. The Leaders are Patrick & Soul, accompanied by Co Leaders Theseus, Flyer, and Magic Thunder.
DV’s first war was against DW yesterday, DV raided about 10 in their base, but some were GVR. This was a fairly easy win for DV despite Apollo of BA, and Eruidte & Fonzzy of DH both helping DW. DW had about 15 members in the raid.
Which side will they chose? DH or SD? Both sides will surely be pressing for their assistance if they continue to grow like this. However, I think the question most people are wondering is does this experienced war-hardened clan still have what It takes to hang with the big boys.

GLAD Attacks KS - 13th July
KS red, GLAD blue, start of battle:
KS were out numbered at first and were on the verge of defeat for the first 10 mins of the battle. As the battle went on more and more KS were logging on which means KS have each other on Skype or some other outside communication to alert offline players of a raid.
Picture above an hour into the battle showing a lot of KS rallied together, this was KS at their peak during the battle.
The battle went on for another 30 mins before glad claimed victory and went back to base. KS were still standing but outnumbered when they claimed victory and GLAD had dominated the field 80% of the time. KS were claiming it as a victory to them (Naturally like all clans) but due to the fact they were losing most of the battle and were outnumbered when glad claimed victory it's a victory for GLAD.
FD Attacks DW - 11th July
FD and GK were all over DW and were about to win the fight until SD joined the battle. SD and DW slightly had the enemy outnumbered.
DW & SD Blue, FD and GK Black as shown:
Sky view picture of start of battle (SD's participation):
a few were to the side but as you can see SD and DW were slightly outnumbering them. FD apart of TE didn't use DH who had 15 members in base which was bad leadership, if they had called DH to the battle it would of been a long battle, because they didn't FD/GK lost this one as shown:
DW and SD Victory!!!!
Any concerns about the new format please post your thoughts.
Sky view & unedited footage. Pictures from above will now we taken with every battle one at the start and one at the end. We are doing this so you can see the whole battle and not just ''selective'' pictures of a battle. Every reporter must take 2 sky view pictures one at the start and one at the end before writing any article as not to be accused as a biased article. CNN will not be uploading videos but we do have one person at the moment uploading videos for us a few times a month so we are more than happy to post your unedited footage on here but i can't stress this enough it must be unedited. I understand battles can go on for hours so if you do edit each edited part has to be a minimum of 15 minutes long. If you the readers have any suggestions to keep this site biased free please post your thoughts.
Swarm of BA attack DW unaware - 10th July
BA, as usual, only ever attack in large numbers and this one was no surprise. DW always try to put up a strong resistance against clans and are usually able to go on skype and call back up within minutes. However, it was late and DW were swarmed of which BA claimed victory.
SD's activity has gone way down since the return of DV, coincidence? i don't think so. Though SD probably got the worst of it other clans such as DH also lost a few members because of its return.

DH attack SD - 10th July
This was a very good and equal match that lasted for about 30 mins. DH were unable to clear or out drop SD though SD were unable to do the same to DH:
SD had about 12 and DH had about 13. DH withdrew from the battle with both sides still standing strongly, it was a draw on the battlefield thus DH leaving with a draw under their belt but a victory for SD for successfully defending against the invaders. Overall a stalemate according to the rules of war.
DM Attacks NRG
DM, Demonios de la Muerte, Demons of Death in English are a ruby clan attacking NRG. DM were slightly outnumbering NRG until SD came to aid NRG which then had DM overpowered and were soon going to lose:
Surprisingly NRG asked SD to leave and wanted to keep it between them and DM. Without SD NRG were again slightly outnumbered.
DM were slowly becoming outnumbered as the fight dragged on because more NRG were logging on. DM and NRG both seemed equal in strength and neither side were really running around. The fight went on for a bout an hour to the point where NRG massively outnumbered DM.
DM seem like a strong clan but their big flaw as with many clans is to make sure all members logging on are constantly told about the battle going on. DH are good for that, they seem to always have someone standing in base telling all the members just logging on about the battle. NRG Victory.
SD's organized PVP line - 9th July
Not sure if this is just a one off random moment (probably is) but i thought it was funny enough to post. SD have solved the issue we have today with arguments starting on who's next to fight at the pillar and here it is:
PVP queuing !! and weirdly enough it works !! everyone was staying in their position and anyone who tried to jump the queue got told to go back or everyone ignored him haha this is great Sherwood's becoming more civilized.
There's me in the queue testing it out for myself and it worked i got my turn without anybody jumping in and starting an argument about who's next lol. Also, i wasn't going to fight either, the queue made me want to queue up and then fight ugh psychological effect.
TE wages war against former ally SD!! - 8th July
For those who don't know, a secret meeting between Cray and Defiance took place a few weeks ago (while SOF was still alive) to form a secret alliance and gang up on TE. Both SD and SOF were weakened and so an alliance would've strengthened them both. However, SOF collapsed a lot faster than expected and thus SD did not go through with the plan. SD were also leaked by us talking about a plan to destroy TE a couple of days ago. TE were eventually going to turn against SD, after both SD and TE beat SOF, but these events gave them the ethical excuse to do it and thus the original ceasefire agreement between them came to an end as soon as TE launched a surprise attack against its former ally. SD lost its chance to ally with SOF and now will face the wrath of The Empire.
Here is a video of the battle:
TE eventually outnumbered and overpowered SD, which lead to SD losing its base for awhile until TE left to return back to base.
TE Victory!!!
Apollo secretly trying to sabotage TE 7th July
Apollo Founder of the long lasting BA clan has special relations with AF and has some influential credibility within AF. Apollo known for being friends with ruby clans could indeed now be a threat to TE off the battlefield. Tbh who doesn't like diplomatic wars much better than running around holding ctrl :) Apollo said he has a lot of friends within AF and they told him that AF may soon disburse anyway and most will join an old clan of which they came from. I've seen this before, TE really need to cool things off with BA or SD, fighting them both could result in the slow death of TE. Post your thoughts.
SD's Secret weapon against TE? 6th July
A former member of DH now in SD revealed to us today about SD having a secret weapon against DH.. Apache helicopters. Unfortunately no but that would be awesome. Here in an undercover interview with Gypsy SD:
Apparently this ''secret weapon'' is strong enough to not only defend against TE but to destroy them and take back the former DV's base and return back to DV.
Gypsy is revealing all she knows about DH to SD to use whatever information they can against them. This secret weapon they have sounds interesting and it is but i will not ruin the surprise that lies ahead for DH and the rest of the Empire. SD have always planned to take down DH even when they joined forces with DH to take down SOF even then SD were planning to switch sides and help SOF instead which never happened obviously. Post your thoughts.
LDG Attacks TQA 5th July
CNN took a few days break but are now back. Below is a video of The legendary Dark Guardians attacking TQA:
LDG massively outnumbered TQA which soon lead to LDG becoming bored and declaring victory.
Fi Vs The Empire 1st July
Fi is a polish clan which isn't huge in size and aren't that great at fighting either but managed to last sometime against FD and DH.
Why? because of TE pushing up the bridge closer to the respawn point which meant every time an FI died it only took him roughly 10 seconds to get back into the fight. The fight actually ended up at the edge of the safe zone:
FI were flying back into the battle so you never really saw them being greatly outnumbered at any time. DH after 30 mins of fighting left the battle but because they left while FI were still standing strong (due to being so close to the respawn point) it counts as DH retreating. FD were than left alone against FI and were greatly outnumbered:
FD was down to its last man and once he hit low HP he backed off down the bridge thus making FI the winners. If TE had stayed in the courtyard this would of easily been an easy win.
TE Attacks DW 28th June
DH from The Empire had 25 members in base and decided to attack DW as they were the only other clan online with enough members to put up a decent fight and a decent fight it was. Though TE did slightly out number DW and also had reserves.
DW put up a good fight but were dying more than DH were thus making DH the winners. DH could have and would have continued the battle until near clear victory but had to leave and aid FD (A clan apart of TE).
DH went to reinforce FD against their enemy and the battle soon ended with TE as the victors. It was a double victory for TE in the space of 30 mins. Also both DW and TE followed the new rules layed out 'Rules of War' so neither side were cheating.
You can watch the full raid against DW here:
Rules of War Completed 28th June
These rules have been set in place to be used in your favor against a clan trying to unfairly cheat you out of your win. These rules have been approved by many clans already and has our approval too. If you're a leader or high rank in a clan it's highly advised that you learn these rules like it's on the back of your hand, nothing worse than a high rank who doesn't know what he is doing; it'll make the whole clan look noobish (Though it's advised that everyone takes a look at the rules). If you see a clan breaking these rules simply direct them to the rules page and if they refuse then it's highly advised that the clan is ignored; if they don't follow rules then it will be impossible to beat them and do not deserve to be apart of the system we players are trying to create.
TIW and TQA unite to attack DH 27th June
TIW and TQA only had DH slightly outnumbered for once so it was actually a really good fight. DH have stronger fighters which really evened up the battle.
TIW claimed victory even though all DH members were still standing:
TQA then to my surprise told TIW that they haven't won and refused to return back to base. A few TIW decided to stay and help TQA but the bulk of TIW's forces returned back to base. C'mon TIW, do not break the rules. This is why we are making a Rules of War page so that it is clear to everyone that retreating when the enemy is still strong = a loss. TIW then returned back to the battle begging TQA for about an hour to return back to base. Perhaps TQA isn't as bad as everyone makes them out to be? TQA could actually be a good influence on TIW. The battle evened out again and lasted for another hour which ended up as a draw, if TQA had retreated with TIW then it would of been a DH victory.
More about NE 26th June
Sherwood has been pretty dead over the last couple of days, with SOF dead raiding activity overall has fell dramatically, raids are happening just nothing exciting enough to write about anyway lets talk about NE. I spoke to one of the Founders of NE:
NE is an empire of united french clans who the Founder himself explains why they came together. NE are a powerful clan and it was also said that NE will destroy all foreign clans who are not within TE. Peace is personal friends with TE and won't organize an attack against them. For those who don't know NE stands for New Era and there website is located in the clan directory. NE vs TE would be a really fun war and people would love to see it unfortunately that's not going to happen anytime soon. On a seperate note CNN will be hosting another tournament tomorrow to keep Sherwood awake.

TIW Attacks TE 24th June
The video below is a recording of the actual battle. TIW massively outnumbers TE, TE were unable to call reinforcements to the battle which is a common tactic of TIW to fill up the base so no allies can be called to the battle. TIW always attack at this time, i use to think they use to pick a time when DH were low in numbers but during this timezone TIW are by far the biggest clan, but due to TIW's bad reputation will they be recognized as a strong clan? They are known for hacking, running and using bots. The bots rumor in my views was totally made up and i can't see how they are possibly using bots perhaps in base but not for fighting. The running rumor is true they have a lot of untrained inexperienced raiders. The hacking rumor hmm it's hard to tell but i have myself seen a TIW member go into GM but they could be them lagging out they are from turkey i'm sure the internet connection is pretty shit there, I haven't personally seen any obvious hacking going on. Only rumor to be 100% true was the running around. TIW actually have the numbers to invade DH's base and take it over like DH did with SOF, not sure it would work though because a lot of TIW log off when DH are at their peek. Anyway you can check the fight for yourself above and look for any signs of hacking, bots or running and point it out on the guestbook, here's your chance to prove these rumors.
TE Victory!!!

Anyway you can check the fight for yourself above and look for any signs of hacking, bots or running and point it out on the guestbook, here's your chance to prove these rumors.
The Empire goes on a rampage across Sherwood against everyone - 14th April
The Empire is now by far the dominate force on Sherwood. After the recent defeat of DV, TE now control both DV's former base 78 and their own base 83. Other clans such as SOF and SD and being careful not to engage with such a large force but TE are seeking more blood and will not stop until every clan has been destroyed.
WOD, in base 59, were caught by surprise and quickly annihilated in just a few minutes. TE then "claimed" WOD's base as their own and ventured off to DW's base. DW were also caught off guard but eventually called for back up on Skype and put up a decent resistance for awhile. Eventually TE's numbers were too much for DW and DW began to slowly give up due to being already exhausted from a previous raid.
Here is a video of the raids:

In summary, The Empire formed under Exile's guidance, for the sole purpose of dominating Sherwood. DV were the main target as they reigned supreme at that time. At first, DV put up a good resistance against the newly made TE. However, as soon as FD and EcX joined TE, there numbers grew to the point where DV were completely overwhelmed and had to run away without putting up much of a resistance. DV fled to room 96 and remained there until TE fell later in the year.

DV's battle in details against The Empire - January to April 2013
In January of 2013 DH was remade by Earth, Exile, Gag, Sun, and Shadow. They took Sherwood by a storm and quickly became the most active clan. DV tried to stand against them, but because of DV's domination of the end of 2012 the clan had become complacent, members had become bored and did not care anymore. DV put up a good fight against DH, but due to real life issues Pat and Soul could not log in for the month of April and during this month DV lost leaders such as Acidic, and Tiger to DH. Along with DV's base, room 78. Pat and Soul eventually became active again in May, and on their return they were surprised to learn that DH had taken over room 78. They quickly took the few DV out to 83 to regroup and organise a counter-attack. DV operated there for a few days before a massive raid by the 3 clans of The Empire (DH,FD,EcX). DV held their own for hours before DV had to log off, and were replaced with more TE members in the room. At the end of the day only 4 DV were left fighting, and DV lost the battle and moved to 96. In 96 Soul and Pat started reconstructing the leadership ranks and council of DV. MagicThunder and Jyles were made the new Co Leaders, and DV started to grow rapidly. As DV continued to grow the DH and DV war had ended, and neither clan was raiding each other and Soul had come up with an idea for DV to join The Empire (TE), the council decided it was a good idea and with only slight resistance DV was allowed to enter and continued to grow fighting alongside DH. Everything didn't stay perfect for DV though, Soul, Jyles and other high ranks became inactive, and the ones that weren't inactive only argued with each other. 1 by 1 they left DV until there was hardly anyone left. Pat and MagicThunder talked as being the only 2 leaders left of DV and they agreed to close the clan until DV could sustain themselves on Sherwood again, which happened sooner than they thought. Flyer and Mento appeared and attempted to remake DV(Which was failing harder than DH 2014) and DV took notice of it. Pat informed Soul about this over Skype, and DV were at first going to have Flyer & Mento disband their remake attempt, but they decided that instead they would support it, so in secret Pat & Soul started planning to revive DV. The secret uprising was getting stronger by the day bringing back more and more of DV's members like Jyles, Theseus, Korp, MagicThunder and Hannah. However the word got out before it was meant to when someone recorded Pat speaking about it in a private conversation and showed it to DH's leadership, resulting in DV separating from The Empire before DV were ready. And so Pat & Soul remade DV and allowed Flyer and his 3 DV's to join the legitimate DV. The Empire furiously attacked DV leaving their leadership with no choice but to seek an alliance with NRG who DV had been neutral with for years, but Soul had close connections with NRG as he had a close alliance with them in his previous clan TS. A secret meeting involving DV's council and NRG's leadership was held to determine the new alliance's name and raid colors, the outcome was an alliance named The Republic and DV used white as raid color as a symbol of defiance to The Empire's trademark black. DV felt more confident with allies behind their back, but their hopes were shattered the next day when NRG suddenly betrayed them and joined the empire leaving their 'Republic' in ruins, this action also lead to one of the biggest raids that year, the entirity of The Empire consisting DH, FD, EcX and the new addition NRG all came crashing down on DV at once. Luckily for DV they had the home field advantage having most of the horde locked out due to room join limit. DV called SN to aid them during this raid and they attacked The Empire's base of room 89 whilst DV stood firm in room 78, this war was a long and tiring one and went on for around 8 hours with each side gaining the upper hand various times in both rooms but no side really managed to get an advantage. Eventually after around 7 hours of constant warfare DV+SN were finally starting to get the upper hand as DV knew that this war would be the final major conflict with The Empire and it would result in either a shameful defeat for DV and result in them losing their base once more, or it would result in DV showing The Empire that they won't back down like the last time, this was their final chance to show the server that DV mean business. Around this time DV managed to get Harvesteri, former DV Leader online and with the leadership of Pat & Soul and the motivation of having Harvesteri on the field DV's morale rocketed and all their members seemed to be on fire dropping The Empire's members left, right and center ! After around 8 hours The Empire called an end to the raid and they each retreated to their bases, so SN returned to 78 and DV all regrouped to recover. Soul called a short rest period for DV/SN whilst he claimed he mysteriously disappeared for around 5 minutes, then he rejoined 78 and called DV/SN to the formation at the bridge and prepare for war, after preparing for the raid a large group of high ranking KS members joined 78 as DV prepared to cut the head off the snake that was The Empire. So Soul organized the DV/SN/KS members into 4 raid parties, one would hit DH/EcX in 89, one would hit FD in 42, one would hit NRG in 96 and the last would guard 78 from any counter attack and swap with members in raid rooms when they were tired of leaving. Just as the attack order was about to be issued Apollo the Founder of BA appeared in 78 and said he wanted to help DV destroy The Empire, so DV spoke briefly and he told them that at that very same time he had BA/CROWS/IMMORTALS/TIW/AIR and various other smaller foreign clans preparing to hit The Empire. DV normally wouldn't even listen to Apollo as he was well known for talking trash, but one thing he was good at was rallying the foreign clans under BA's banner. So Pat & Soul followed Apollo to where his clan & allies were camped and his words were true, 3 full rooms of BA and it's allies were preparing to hit The Empire so DV thought what the hell and so with DV/SN/KS/BA/CROWS/IMMORTALS/TIW/AIR/Various others totalling around 150-200 people total hit The Empire(DH/FD/EcX/NRG), and hit them HARD ! With all their clan bases full they were unable to regroup and support each other which was the key to there raiding success, there members were already demoralized and worn out from the 8 hour raid they just had with DV/SN. The first of The Empire clans to fall was NRG, with TIW/AIR taking their base, Korp was acting as the General & raid leader in room 95 leading the offensive, and NRG fought hard, but the shear numbers of The rag-tag alliance was too overwhelming for NRG and once DV cleared them the first time they couldn't manage to regroup successfully which resulted in them getting cleared multiple times. The next to fall was FD with CROWS & IMMORTALS taking there base, Flyer & an unknown BA General were leading the offensive in room 42 against FD and it was reported that FD were calling for surrender as they were too tired to continue fighting but Flyer was merciless and kept hitting FD with wave after wave of blue soldiers, Flyer masterfully using superior tactics managed to flank the FD defensive and soon cleared them from the courtyard. Eventually the whole room of 42 was flooded with blue soldiers and FD surrendered their base to them. Finally the only Empire clans that stood were DH/EcX in room 89. At this point the raiding had been constant for around 14 hours, DH were then left alone as EcX had given in and deserted DH. And so it came down to a mix DV/SN/KS/BA high ranks v DH in 89 and at this point DH knew they had no chance and their leaders called a surrender for the first time in their clans history as they couldn't continue to fight, which DV ignored, but they surrendered anyway and ran into the safe zones or left the room. As a result the 'rag-tag alliance' claimed rooms 89/95/42 as their own for their huge alliance. Although most of the clans in this alliance were natural enemies and had been for years DV decided that it would be in all of their clans interests to keep this alliance going, at least for a while just to keep DH at bay.
After this huge conflict the DV-DH never picked up like it did before, with a new fresh look DV quickly became a large active clan, rivalling DH's activity. Everything was fine for a month, until DH imploded on itself and DV managed to recruit many ex-DH's into their clan. After this though it was quickly discovered that DH were planning to remake TheEmpire and steal DV members by joining and befriending their members. They were all quickly kicked and they remade DH. DV then tried to make an empire of their own to protect 78 and make sure that DV would not lose it again, then they made a quick plan to make UC with Crayvalley to hold 78 against DH. So overnight DV+SoF merged into one huge abomination of a clan, it was massively unstable due to too many conflicting personalities and leading styles within the high ranks, DV could fill 3-4 rooms at a time as they were pretty big. DV had a few raids with DH and they did great, DH couldn't stand against their numbers. It never worked out however and Soul broke DV off from UC and then both DV & SoF were back up and running. Soon after UC broke up like a sad love story the DH onslaught had finally arrived at DV's door, back in huge numbers after they organized a massive attack to reclaim room 78 and once again DV were kicked back to room 96. After this a few DV members decided to just give up for the time being, due to boredom, low morale, or whatever you may call it and DV was dead.
