~**Players of the Month**~

~**Earth Servers**~

Ydegart

Ydegart is currently a member of the rank one alliance on E2 and E3. He has shown amazing teamwork and dedication skills on both worlds, always putting the alliance before himself. He helps players re-build, calls conquers and crystals for his teammates that are weaker than him and always offers to place satellite scans for those with low energy supplies when they need one.
Ydegart did an amazing job in fighting against both BC and HIDI at the same time on different worlds, winning against BC on E3 but unfortunately losing his whole army along with most of his teammates in a huge battle against HINI.
Congratulations Ydegart, you have earned it.

Mirage, the leader of SoL has successfully lead his alliance to domination once again on Mars 1 once again using a combination of diplomacy, good communication and skill. Now, the only question left is how long SoL’s winning streak will go for! Congratulations Mirage, you’ve earned it.

Husband JC says hi to Pandora

Even tho he started late in the round and didn’t have an alliance up to tick 2000 this extraordinary player finished #2 in rankings with his winning alliance xMx – MAD I TELL YOU with 3 relics and an amazing strategy. He faced the Fantasy 5 two-man alliance winners and stood victorious in a 48 hours war. He fought his sworn allies GToH in a friendly fun war and stood victorious in the end thanks to his versatile war strategy and activity levels. Overall he is a complete player, strategist and soldier and good leader.

~**Tips**~


1. Remember to send a one man squad (spam) one tick ahead of your main force when attacking big targets, it will allow you to calculate your exact losses using the battle simulater before you land and maybe one day it will save your army! ☺


2. Third party software! I can promise you, all successfully alliances use third party software to communicate. It’s quick, easy and you can talk to people even when they don’t have the game open! The most Battle Dawners favour Skype and MSN for their simplicity; why not set up a group yourself before starting your next era? It may just be that thing you need. ☺


3. Keep a cool head at all times. I guarantee you that at one stage in your Battle Dawn career you will meet somebody that you reeeaally hate. The most important thing to do in this situation is to never to send abusive messages to them or you will most likely be banned by the server admin. If you meet a player that you’re very angry with the best thing to do is calmly block their messages and if they are being abusive report them to the admin.
