aug 31, 2025 - Battle of the gravel hills

Description:

This battle remains difficult to evaluate, as it can be interpreted either as a glorious defensive effort by the Inostropian Republic or as a strategic victory for the Exfodian Federation. Ultimately, the interpretation depends on perspective, as both sides suffered significant consequences.

The encounter began when six Exfodian soldiers entrenched themselves on a small hill near the coordinates X=1000, Z=0. The Inostropians were aware of their position and decided to launch an attack. Only two Inostropian players, InfinityZoom187 and EternalAbyss169, took part in the initial assault, relying on their superior equipment. Due to prior encounters involving suspected hacking, Infinity also enabled reach, which proved effective in close combat. While Eternal was quickly eliminated, Infinity managed to disrupt and disorganize the Exfodian forces over an extended period. However, as the battle continued, he became exhausted and was eventually overwhelmed. At this point, another Inostropian, Tatuskin, arrived at the battlefield. He scavenged equipment from fallen enemies and assisted in the fight, further destabilizing the Exfodian formation. The enemy force began to collapse, with some retreating in panic—reportedly shouting “RETREAT, RETREAT”. However, the turning point came when the Exfodian president activated killaura and invisibility and managed to kill Infinity. After this, the situation descended into chaos. Infinity, frustrated by what he described as “childish behavior,” used commands to eliminate the remaining soldiers and banned them from the server, effectively ending the battle. Both sides suffered serious losses, but the Inostropians endured longer-term consequences due to sustained damage over time.

Whether this engagement should be considered an honorable last stand by the Inostropians or a strategic victory for the Exfodians remains open to interpretation.
