Bonus:
Who remembers the very very first event ? What was the prize?

Here are the hints,
1. The prize was roughly 400/300
2. The event was basically unannounced.
3. It was the reason I had to join the forums.

LOL... I mentioned that up above.... Just found it. It was The Faction Raider. A337 D361
It was a huge unit at the time.

Incorrect.
Next contestant.
This predates the faction events.

Edit. I had the stats reversed. Was 300/400 ish 😃

Elite Base Defense...a PvP tournament for most attacks won.

That event cost me a lot of units by getting smoked by huge stat players, with attacks around 35k.

The prize got recycled, and should be in most players inventory now.

LOL, whilst googling for first unit awarded to new factions this came up......

Robespierre has the right unit, wrong event.

Remember the very first event was a jacked up iph event. Most of us had to send in tickets to get our prize.

[Procyon]

Yeah, but did you collect all 18 medals for a "special unit"?

I vaguely recall needing to collect medals for something. What was the "special unit"?

Ahhhh. That's right! Never competed at that level for iph at the beginning, but I remember the PvP event for most attacks (and being pissed about it) because I just sat there and lost legions of my jungle stalkers and getting so miffed I sent a ticket stating I was getting bullied!

Man, those were the days.

And yes, during the scavenger hunt PvP tournament, I never reset my buildings because they were costing me a ton of units as well.

Anyone still have the "fighting Irish" in their inventory or the "agent of love"?

Sorry, it was 16 medals, not 18.

16/16. 70 medals - warpath survival tank 340000/380000 + 40% ground defence increase

I remember the scavenger hunt or whatever it was called. I deleted my Guard Towers since that was the first goal and whatever the next couple were. I think others did the same or left them dead like you. Remember thinking what a stunned event that was.

I remember FFF, I also remember morphlingman.
I remember him accusing me of spying on him when he begged me for concrete blocks.
That was a fun conversation.

Him: "Your members have 3 minutes to drop off their blocks and get out."
Me: "Screw you, we don't need to spy, we are top 25 and you are top crap, don't ask me for help again."

All in response to my blocks of love program trying to help the community.

i remember when the "Fighting Irish" little Leprechaun Hat / Boston Celtics Jersey wearing Ninja with an AK47 Rifle was released late one afternoon - I remember it was 90 Gold and had 92/64 stats - which wasn't the strongest unit out - but for that Good price - it had the highest stat compared to the 40-50 stats usually available at that price.

I bought 4 of them thinking it was a great bargain - then about 12 hours later - they changed out the "Fighting Irish" unit for the "Fighting IRA" with much lower stats - and people we first of all pissed about missing out on such a "bargain".

Then there were the sensitive history geeks who cried that the IRA was a terrorist organization and why would Funzio make a unit honoring terrorist.

THEN came all of the Nay Sayers who claimed that anyone who bought the Irish Fighter was somehow a cheater

ohhh the Good Ole Days where 90 points in Attack was an advantage :-)



Oh - and who could forget the "Chocolate" Sub that was released with the Agent of Love and the Letter Bomber on Vakenties day! We need more Holiday related units :-)

Funny thing is, if you paid any mind to the scratchers, you'd think it still was.

Only 220 left.

Those were the days...
