Haider ACP!
It still hasn’t been very long since we got out of our two month war, a long war can be fun and challenging but after a while it can take a toll on an army, with all the invasions and defenses it’s hard to find time where we can work on improving some problems we’re running into, thats why we need to use this time we have wisely. We’ve been fortunate to have March off from war since it’s one of the best times for ACP to recruit. This is also one of those months where we can take it easy, work on improving some problems we’ve run into and go recruiting more often.
First I’d like to talk about our organization, this mostly is about at events. It’s not a secret that the bigger the army, the more clumping they’ll have, and an army ACP’s size we’re almost guaranteed to have some clumping, but we can downsize the clumping with enough work. For example you should try to stay online for the entire battle, idle penguins add to the clumping as they just get in the way. Try to watch yourself on Club Penguin and make sure theres no one clumping by you or on top of you, if there is just go fill a gap or make the formation larger. Don’t try to be at the top of the line or be right next to an ACP owner, as this causes clumping as well.
Something else everyone should try to downsize is the random conversations during battles. The first 15 minutes before the battle is used to get everyone online, it can get boring after a few minutes, just dancing in a line without any orders but the leaders need the time to get everyone online and the unneeded conversations on chat during battles on main chat doesn’t help us. After our little practice battle with the Ice Warriors it’s shown us that we don’t recruit enough on Club Penguin during the pre-battle and when theres just a gap where no orders are being given. When theres no orders being given it’s good just to shout out a few recruiting phrases or throw some snowballs at the enemy while you wait.
Nachos for years have been known for being the best tactical army (ACP not so much) We need to start to focus on our tactics just as much as size. We have the size to do get top notch tactics but we don’t always have all our soldiers awake to do them. When a penguin goes idle that’s one less emote in a formation or one more penguin standing in the way of a change doing nothing. Theres times when we even have whole parts of a formation idle and it makes the tactic less effective. We don’t have a bunch of tips and ways to help make you prevent this, but thats because it’s much simpler as well. Don’t go idle, keep up with the orders on chat and make sure you’re following them correctly for the entire battle.
Finally, I’m going to start to end my posts with a question so we can get your feedback and opinions, so this post’s question is what other things should ACP do to improve more? Your ideas don’t need to be problems relating with battles either, it can be anything that you think ACP could do to improve and become an even better army!

March On,
