The Grand Egg Wars Guide

4. Which team should I pick



What is Egg wars?
Egg wars is a gamemode in minecraft, which is created by the Cubecraft developers.
There are a few teams, who have to fight together.
However, fighting with out weaponry would be kind of difficult, wouldn't it?
This is why there is a villager placed at your island, which is able to trade iron, gold, and diamonds for armor and other things.
You can get diamonds with help of your generators that are at your island.
To upgrade a generator, simply press your right mouse button on the sign.
A window will pop up, simply press the upgrade function if you have enough iron/gold/diamonds for it.
In most of the maps, your gold generator and diamond generator is broken.
Which means we have to repair it with gold, or diamond, but how do we get that?
There are a few gold and diamond generator in the middle of the map.
You go there, by building sandstone blocks with help of your NPC.
When you are there, search for your gold and diamonds, then return with the booty and repair them.
However, there will always be fellow players who do this, so I advice you to make some armor first.
"That's cool, but how do I win?"
Like we said earlier, by destroying your enemies' eggs and killing your enemies will result in ultimate VICTORY.

How should I play?
Congratulations, you came this far on my guide.
To play, is entirely your choice, however, what I can do is describe some of the methods I used in the past.
Some of which, are good, some others are fun to play with friends, for example this one:
u7yiUAO.png

However, before we do this, we must cut down the phases of Egg Wars.
Lets start with The beginning phase.
The beginning phase, is the phase that is looked down by most players.
Most of the times, this will result into a guy grabbing all of the iron and making armor for himself, then dying.
However, you are not like that, you're a smart man.
In the beginning phase, there are a few things you can do.
You can, grab all of the iron, then upgrade your generator and perhaps, repair the other one.
Something else you could do is, grabbing all of the iron for yourself, and then build to your nearest enemy's island.
Most of the time where teams exist out of 2, you can quickly destroy the egg of them.
Ask your fellow team mate to build sandstone around the egg, since we do not want our egg destroyed.
Congratulations, your nearest enemy is dead, and there is no real competition for now.
"But what if I'm on a much bigger map?"
Then forget everything what I've said in the previous, only use the method when your islands are close to each other.
If you are, on a big map, you will most likely be in a team with 3 or many more players.
If that is the case, then, always upgrade the iron generators first, never grab everything for yourself in the beginning phase.
Why, you ask? Because other players will be let out, just help your team in the best way possible, and that is not by grabbing everything for yourself.
The middle phase.
Ah, you made it quite far, however, everything could happen now.
The middle phase, is the phase where the big things happen, most of the time, many eggs will be destroyed and teams will be murdered.
If you already have a gold and diamond generator, then good, if you do not, then get your ass to the middle and get some gold and diamonds real fast.
Now, if you do, we need a better defense for our egg.
A few sandstone blocks, won't really help our island, which is why, you must make obsidian.
Obsidian is a tough block to destroy, and if a team attacks you, it's easier to defend it.
So, repair your gold generator and start building, am I right?
No! Always upgrade your gold generator to level two or three first! Or else, it will take years to build around your egg.
But, not all of the times this job is on you, you can also have another job for the team, which is attacking.
We need a few things before attacking, which will be:
- A pickaxe, if the team you are attacking has sandstone blocks, then use a stone or iron pickaxe, if they have obsidian, then use a diamond pickaxe.
Some decent gear - Decent gear is needed when you attack, you most likely will be spotted by your enemies, which will result in a fight.
Building blocks - Building blocks is a must too, you have to build a bridge to your enemy, or if you want, you can go all high and then attack from there. Watch out for the arrows!
Food - Food is not a must, but is very, very recommended to have, if you are hungry, you can't run and your health bar won't regen. Always have steak with you, since it fills much.
There are a few other things you could have, but these are the ones you should have when attacking.
The end phase
Oh, you made it really, really far now, if you for real didn't die, you have a chance to win, if you did die, well, at least you tried.
By now, you should have:
- Full iron gear
- A diamond sword
- A bow with arrows
- An egg that is covered by obsidian
If you don't, then you will most likely have a disadvantage, but don't worry, we can still win.
When the last few teams attack you, you have the advantage, because you can easily hit them off the
bridge and let them fall to the void, a bow is really useful when doing this.
If you still have beginning gear, then you must go to the middle and get the diamonds there.
Not many players will care about the middle now, since they most likely have all of the diamonds and gold
Now, once you acquired the things I've listed above, it's time to attack.
When attacking, be sure that there are only 2 teams over, your team, and the enemy team.
If there are more teams, then you should ask 1 or 2 players to stay at the base, then you can try to attack them yourself.
If you are at their base, check their surroundings, how does the base look like?
Now, think of the nearest way to the egg, since that is your goal, it's not your goal to kill players.
"I'm at the egg, what now?"
If you killed the team, they will respawn and try to hit you off, to prevent this, start building around you so that they need to break the blocks to hit you.
Also, be sure to sneak, it will be harder for them to spot you.
Once you mined through their blocks, hit their egg once, then come out and start murdering them, don't fall tough!

What if my egg is destroyed?
If your egg is destroyed, then you will have most likely a small chance to win.
You are vulnerable to dying and not respawning forever, you will because of that, be targeted by many teams.
If your egg is gone, then do not attack anymore, only attack when you are 80% sure you won't die and you will destroy the egg.
So, you should really just stay passive now, collect some diamonds and make iron and stuff, also make a good defense so its harder to come to your island.
If you made it to the end phase with no egg, then start looking how many teams are left.
If there are 3 teams, and one team is attacking the other, then your team should attack the team that is attacking, since they will have most of the time no one to defend.
If you are attacked with no egg, then you should try to hit the attackers of the bridge, it's all what you can do really.
Be smart and make good choices.

Which team should I pick?
In most maps, choosing your team won't affect the game in any way, however, in some maps like toys and medieval it could be quite good.
In the map toys, the team you should pick are - Blue, pink, gray, yellow
Why? Because when you pick green and red, you can get attacked from 2 sides, and when you pick Blue, pink, gray and yellow, you can only be attacked from one side.
On medieval you should pick red, orange, yellow and green
Why? Because you can make a straight bridge to the middle, which means you can run faster and you won't fall faster.
On the map Oriental you should pick Orange and Blue, because these teams are the closest to mid, which means more diamonds.
On the map Dwarven you should try to pick orange, because:
1) Orange starts closest to mid (shared with pink)
2) The egg can be easily seen from shop, which means you can build around it easily
3) The way down from the top of mid (recommended way to go) is close to orange
On the map Instruments you should pick: Red and Yellow, because you can go easier to the diamond generator.
When on the map Teaparty, you should get the team, Orange, Pink, Green or cyan, because these teams are the closest ones to mid.
When on the map Space, you should get the teams: Red and blue, because the Earth isn't as high as the Sun which means it won't take long to go there.

Dwarven.
1) Orange starts closest to mid (shared with pink)
2) The egg can be easily seen from shop (Also shared with pink)
3) The way down from the top of mid (recommended way to go) is close to orange (not shared with pink)
Instruments:
Red Yellow and Green can easily go to the top diamond Gen while blue can't.
Teaparty:
Teams listed start closest to mid
Space:
Earth isn't as high as the sun so it doesn't take as long to get up there

I also figured out the best teams on Magic and Storm, leaving Rome as the only map without an advantageous team.
On Magic, you should pick red and yelow because it's easier to get to the level 3 diamond generator in the wizard's hat.
On Storm, don't pick the islands that are exactly 2 away from purple or yellow because they're the only islands that can't build straight to mid. On purple's side the islands are Pink and Dark Green, but I'm not sure what it is on yellow's side.

The Void
Instruments:
Red Yellow and Green can easily go to the top diamond Gen while blue can't.
Or you could say that it is harder to build a bridge from above from mid to blue...
Also on both green and blue it is impossible to stand on top of the egg and mine down, since there is wool above it.

And I disagree with the idea that the islands which have the fastest way to mid are always the best ones.
