The first Guild Season of 2024 has reached its conclusion, and it’s time to congratulate the winners! So hats off to IFures, who claimed their first title on Albion Americas, and PLAC, who successfully defended their crown on Albion Asia. Read on for a rundown of how the seasons played out…
Albion Americas: IFures Rise to the Top
Season 22 began with a flurry of activity, as two major forces announced they'd be gunning for top spot. Both IFures & Superiore charged into the season battling it out over castles, cores, vortexes, and anything else that would give Season Points. It soon became clear that this clash of the titans wouldn't just involve these two guilds, though, and it wasn't long until coalitions were formed on both sides.
But within the first week Superiore suffered a devastating defeat in their homeland, Sunfang Cliffs, with IFures able to break through their lines and raid the territory, claiming the Raw Energy and causing a massive rift within Superiore. Within twenty-four hours this led to the guild’s collapse, seemingly opening the way for IFures to steamroll their way through the rest of the season.
It wasn't all plain sailing from here though, as another contender for the top prize, FAX, stepped up and threw their gauntlet into the ring. This sparked conflicts across multiple timers, but IFures were up for the fight and, in the final month of the season, managed to breach FAX’s homelands and raid their energy. This didn't come without its costs, though, as the FAX coalition was able to evict Contingent from their home of Darkbough Snag in the process.
On the final Invasion Day, IFures managed to secure the title, ending their season with just over 1 million points, with FAX coming in second with 869,000 points, and B l a c k-L i s t third with 581,000 points.
Albion Asia: PLAC Hold their Title
Season 4 got off to a quieter start than previous seasons on Albion Asia, due to the hangover from the season-long war of Season 3. With guilds settling down and making pacts, PLAC was set for a straightforward victory.
It wasn't long until things spiced up, though, and with the SQUAD alliance still out for blood against the LIGHT alliance, pockets of action flared up. Raids gradually gathered pace, along with battles for castles and vortexes, and it wasn't long until a full-scale war broke out again. This lasted until the end of the season, with both sides putting up some incredible battleboards.
But, midway through the season, it wasn't SQUAD that LIGHT were looking to blind, but rather Vermin and their comfortable hold on second place. RADIANT looked to loosen their grip and, after a week of raids, Vermin soon conceded and RADIANT were on the way to second spot.
The final Invasion Day was another bloody one, as RADIANT looked to secure their homeland of Sunfang Cliffs, a territory holding 60,000 Season Points. With everyone’s gaze fixed here, RADIANT claimed the territory after a thirty-minute battle, and with that secured second place for the season.
In the final reckoning, PLAC took first place with a million points, followed by RADIANT in 2nd with 635,000 points and Vermin in third with 585,000 points.
