This block was supposedly opposed by [[STEL]], which consisted of a ~~nhttp://www.clawofdarkness.com/pawiki/index.php?title=Round_3&action=edit&section=8umber~~ of alliances formed out of the remnants of [[WaC]] the previous round, [[Sedition]], [[Elysium]] and [[LOST]], alongside [[The Empire]]. Unfortunately the STEL block barely got off the ground after it formed in the initial days of the round and within the first couple of weeks of "war" with The Triad found themselves rapidly losing ground against a far more cohesive and efficient unit. The lack of genuine top class opposition to the Triad meant that militarily they were able to steamroll the rest of the universe. Other alliances such as [[Æternals]] were initially able to compete with the various Triad planets as regards the top rankings but they were far too small and disorganised to fight them effectively in the long run. Despite the efforts of some, memorably LLG (Last Laughing Guy) who was the #1 planet for the first month of the round, the Triad devastated any opposition they faced.

	The ships have been tweaked and I have heard quite a lot of people complaining that they cannot defend against Astropods now, and there have been shouts that the game has become imbalanced. From my experience there are no problems with game balance in this round, and if you have built the correct sort of ships to defend against Astropods you will have no problems at all.

From my experience there are no problems with game balance in this round, and if you have built the correct sort of ships to defend against Astropods you will have no problems at all.

	[[Thieves and Pirates]] have been removed for this round and I have to say I think it was the correct thing to do, the game has much better balance and you now have to work for your score by pulling off successful attacks instead of building tons of thieves and going fleet hunting. The only problem with the removal of these ships is that there is now no real incentive to help people defend their planet. Before you had the promise of some nice fleet to capture, as a reward for your good deed, now there is nothing. Something I think that the creators should implement is a Salvage Ship. This ship could act like a Cargo Ship by collecting resources from the destroyed ships at the end of each battle tick with a limit of say 500 units of resources as opposed to the cargo ships 1000. You could then have every ship that is destroyed leave say 1% of its construction value in available salvage for your salvage ships to collect. This could well give something back to all those defenders out there without hugely unbalancing the game like the Thieves and Pirates did. 1% does not sound like a lot of resources for the ships to drop but put in perspective every interceptor destroyed would leave 10 metal, and you will normally lose quite a few of those in a fair sized battle.

	===Travel times=== have been tweaked again and this round it takes you longer to travel outside of your cluster, as well as taking longer to travel outside of your galaxy. This again is a good decision in my opinion, you have now solved a lot of the problems with huge cluster spanning alliance because people simply cannot get there in time to defend each other as well as they can defend people within their own cluster, making the large alliance less desireable and the cluster alliance a much better looking alternative. With the new travel times Cluster alliances are going to be the big powers once again and I think the most organised cluster will be have almost all the people in the top10 by the end of this round, but we shall have to wait and see if I am right.		===Travel times=== have been tweaked again and this round it takes you longer to travel outside of your cluster, as well as taking longer to travel outside of your galaxy.

	As [[Furgion]] turned on their former ally the rest of the universe joined in and RB were roided dry in a short space of time.

A number of top players quit due to the lack of action, with [[Nodrog]] famously quitting and putting up this [[Round 3 Nodrog's Quitting Galaxy Banner\|gal banner]]. A lack of both opposition and roids led to problems developing both between Fury and Legion, both of whom were concerned to gain a clear advantage before outright war began. This was made possible by the departure of the [[Wolfpack]] [[battlegroup]] from Legion towards the end of the round. Disgruntled with events within Legion, and possessing most of the closest ties with Fury, [[WP]] and Fury allied, with Fury [[Round 3 Syn Sid Letter to Legion\|dropping all ties]] with Legion.

	Fury and WP went on to launch a full scale assault on Legion for the final days of the round, including [[Round 3 Attack on censor by Wolfpack and Fury\|this attack]] on censor. While damage was caused to a number of top Legion planets this war, due to both the strength of the remaining Legion players and the short amount of time left in the round was largely inconclusive.
