TERRITORIAL WAR: OFFENSE VS MOBS

During the few times that I have had the opportunity to join a clan in their territorial bid on a land that is uncontrolled, the monsters or mobs as some are fond to call them are of the level that would have been hard to handle if the clan I was with was not as organized as they were. Truth be told, the clan I was with was not the strongest in the lot, but they made sure that they had field commanders who knew what they were doing, and was creating a sense of purpose to the advancing army. the situation was simple enough, three lanes filled with monsters lead to a fortress guarding a major boss creature. All the monsters act individually and do not provide any support to one another. Though mindless, the individual monsters are already a chore each at their respective levels and capabilities. As a group, they would be invincible as the attacking force is only allowed 80 soldiers to their 300. The solution is simple enough to anyone who has studied a little warfare and have read up on Sun Tzu.

The 80 are divided into groups of six each as this is what the game allows. They are further divided into three flying columns that take one lane each until they reach the gate, where they merge as a singular force to clean the inner court and eventually strike at the final Boss.

Simple enough, but organization is paramount in the early stages, each column must have a fair amoung of Tankers, Nukers, and Healers. They have to attack as a focused force, individually, the groups of six focus fire on one creature at every encounter, and provide support for the other teams. They have to stick together and move forward as one. If one strays, they're dead. If one is left behind, those in the front will be compromised. The final assault is manageable enough as long as the teams are under strict orders to not touch the boss until all his troops are done for. Easy enough if they are eventually able to kill the final boss, and no one is afraid.
