Salute to MÆKISIM

We all know that greetings and welcomes are much easier and far more fun than farewells. But today, we say goodbye to my friend and our colonel: MÆKISIM.

He’s chosen to seek out new challenges, and we wish him the very best of luck on his journey ahead.

It’s been a long and meaningful ride with him in the DUCKS alliance. His support, leadership, and contributions have been truly invaluable, and we’re deeply grateful for the time he spent with us.

@MÆKISIM: Bro, you made me sad all day today. I wish you nothing but success in whatever alliance you join next. And I genuinely hope to see you return again, just like you did before.

DUCKS Take Down the Cheaters

Those Rattlesnakes / Gaxa are cheaters, and that alliance is full with them. But despite their overwhelming firepower and stone castles, DUCKS still walked away with 12 stars and strutted off with another win.

We brought them hell: 

• Our heavy artillery shattered their defenses piece by piece.
• Our medium artillery executed flawless strategy, securing key stars from those Rattlesnakes and proving their tactical brilliance.
• 29 out of 30 raids executed—DUCKS showed up with unstoppable spirit!

Shout-out to USCM and VILK: You each claimed a single star, but it was a massive one. A true David vs. Goliath victory (See wikipedia.org - Goliath). 

 
Wishing everyone a great day and epic gaming ahead! DUCKS are ready and looking forward to even more challenging battles on the horizon.

Welcome MISIO to the DUCKS alliance!

We're honored to have an additional veteran among us. MISIO has fought in countless wars and left his mark across many alliances. This time, he’s chosen to ride with the DUCKS and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

Welcome, MISIO, all the way from Spain! Hold on a second… your arrival reminds me of a legendary Spanish hero: Zorro. A masked vigilante who defends the oppressed with swordplay and sharp wit. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

Some say MISIO is a fan of Lucky Luke, wandering the prairies in search of cheaters, never staying too long in one town. Well, we hope this town feels different. With MISIO on our side, the next war is bound to be legendary.

@DUCKS: We have one more CB10+. Let’s keep flying high, Side by side, wing to wing!

Let’s make it count!

Ducks vs Rattlesnake

Time flies when you're flapping hard, and our Ducks have grown up fast! We crossed borders and touched down in Germany, ready for battle. This time, our opponent is RATTLESNAKE, a fierce alliance with a name that speaks for itself. It's not just a title, it's a warning.

 

Let’s take a look at one of their so-called LOL sample bases. 

 

At first glance, They've got three to four bases in their lineup at level 1. Don’t be fooled. These bases are dressed up like 5-year veterans: loaded with all the whistles and bells that you’d expect from a maxed-out fortress. I guess that you see what I am talking about.

Had a quick chat with their two co-leaders and respect was mutual. They’ve got 8 active players, but most are not online. That gives us a sliver of hope for another win.

So gear up everyone. Do whatever we can do. Let discuss about the strategy in the alliance chat.

DUCKS vs Direwolves

Another warfare, another effortless victory. The enemy seemed shaken before the first shot was fired.

The Ducks have three CB10s vs. the Direwolves’ one (Tanker The Great). While the Direwolves have a few stronger bases, overall the Ducks look stronger.

This battle had two distinct halves:

First Half (0–2 hours)

We stormed in and snatched 30 stars like clockwork. The entire Direwolves pack was flattened—efficient, precise, unstoppable. No hesitation. No missteps. Just pure fury. It was so fast and so furious.

Second Half (20+ hours) 

We shifted gears practicing, testing new strategies, scouting for the richest bases. Meanwhile, the enemy went silent. No movement. No reaction from the enemy. They didn’t just lose the score, they lost the spirit.

Final Score

DUCKS fly high. We may be young and average on paper, but our spirit is elite. Congrats to every warrior in the flock. The next challenger better come prepared. We’re only getting sharper.

 

Alliance Entrance Closed

Due to the recent chaos in global chat, we've decided to close our alliance entrance. The global has been flooded with trash talk, cheaters and hackers flaunting their infinite firepower, and showing off their dictionary of bad words.

To be honest, it's become nearly impossible to tell who the true warriors are and who’s just hiding behind anonymity. After thoughtful discussions with our teammates, we’ve chosen to protect our little alliance by shutting the main gate.

 

We stand for honor, respect, and real gameplay. If you're one of the good ones, you’ll understand why this matters.

Stay strong. Stay sharp. 💪
