History[edit | edit source]

Generation 1 (November 2009)[edit | edit source]

In November of 2009, Keano73 created the Water Troops. The site he created had no content thus leading the first generation to death immediately.

Generation 2 (December 2010)[edit | edit source]

Main article: Water Vikings

On May 12th, 2010, the Water Troops was recreated by Coolkid4040 and Blackyoshi. Despite it receiving a lot of members, the army ultimately failed and immediately died.

On December 23rd, 2010, Zak recreated the Water Troops without knowing of it's previous existence. They only had one event, where they got around 6. Zak was still relatively new to armies, joining the Ice Vikings in June of 2010. As did with Jed Pen, who created the Masked Vikings, which was a branch off of the Ice Vikings. They never found much success. However, the two friends one day decided to merge their two armies. After wondering about a name, they chose Water Vikings.

Generation 3 (December 2011 - January 2012)[edit | edit source]

On December 10th, 2011, Carter157 and Ekpenguin9 founded the Water Troops' third generation.[1]

N.O.D. War[edit | edit source]

On December 23rd, 2011, The Water Troops went to war against Nation of Domination.[2] The Water Vikings and Blazers of Club Penguin sided with the Water Troops during the war. Additionally, the Watex Warriors would assist the Water Troops should Snow Flake, a server that both armies owned, were to be invaded. The Water Troops decided to make the first move by invading Snow Day, an event in which WT successfully won the server.[3] The Water Troops successfully won the war, taking all of Nation of Domination's servers.

Following the end of the war, the Water Troops seemingly died on January 8th, 2012 without an announcement. The Water Troops had just declared war against the Water Raiders, but ended up shutting down before any battles.[4]

Generation 4 (July 2014 - August 2014)[edit | edit source]

Sometime 2013, Benjamin had attempted to recreate the Water Troops as the Water Troopers. He added several people to the website without leaving much reason as to why they were added, leaving some people to theorize that they were supposed to be leaders or high ranking individuals within the army.

On July 10th, 2014, Bryce Boltman and Moses106 recreated the army. The army got eight members in only the first two days. Sometime later, the Water Troops got to be in the 2014 CPAC Legends Cup[5] in which they lost to the Metal Warriors. The Water Troops entered three other tourneys in which they won two battles, but lost again to Metal Warriors in the SMAC-Down. The Jokers[6], Glorious Toast Empire, and Beefcake all merged into the Water Troops later on.

Dragon Troops War[edit | edit source]

Pokebub and Bryce decided to declare war on the Dragon Troops on August 10th, 2014.[7] WT won maxing 3 and 10.

Metal Warriors War[edit | edit source]

On August 19th, 2014, the Water Troops declared war against the Metal Warriors over anger from losing twice to MW in a tournament. The Water Troops sided with the Vikings while the Metal Warriors sided with the Striking Raiders.[8] The Vikings eventually backed out of the war, though it was never announced.

On the same day the war began, WT merged into the Water Vikings, thus ending this generation, leaving the war without a fight.[9]

Generation 5 (September 2014 - November 2014)[edit | edit source]

On September 21st, 2014, Bryce and Shiny (aka Pokebub) brought back the Water Troops.[10] They had been thinking of bringing them back ever since the death of generation four. Following the first week, the Water Troops got 7th on both SMAC and SMAP. In the second week, WT dropped down to 8th on both sites.

Winter Troops War[edit | edit source]

On October 12th, 2014, the Water Troops decided to announce war against the Winter Troops due to them using the Water Troops' abbreviation, invading the Frost Elites servers incorrectly, and because of a possible growth in size for the Water Troops.[11] Kingxmen12, the leader of the Winter Troops, announced several invasions against the Water Troops the following day. Bryce declared that the Water Troops had won with the invasion of the Winter Troops' final server, Whiteout, ignoring the previous invasions.[12] This caused some controversy between the two armies.

Roccobo2003 joined as leader on October 25th, 2014[13], but left two days later.[14] On November 5th, 2014, Bryce participated in his final Water Troops event as he felt that the army was declining in power.[15] On November 7th, 2014, Bryce officially announced the death of WT.[16]

Generation 6 (July 2015 - September 2015)[edit | edit source]

The e-mail sent to subscribers shortly before it was deleted.

On January 5th, 2015, Bryce revived the Water Troops though it was soon canceled when Bryce decided to delete the post.

Later, on July 22th, 2015, Bryce and Pjayo decided to revive the Water Troops. With the revival, he merged the Viking Nationalist Army into the army. The Water Troops had their first event the following day, maxing 8 and averaging 7.[17] The Water Troops were supposed to face the Rebel Penguin Federation in the CPAC Legends Cup 2015, but never attended the battle.

Arctic Eagles War[edit | edit source]

On August 3rd, 2015, Bryce declared war on the Arctic Eagles for repeatedly scheduling invalid invasions against the Water Troops and WT's close ally, the Nachos SS.[18] In response to this, the Arctic Eagles entered a two day lockdown.[19] Regardless of this, the Water Troops still invaded AE's only server, Cold Front. After a successful invasion, Bryce considered Water Troops the victor of the war.[20] This war became the topic of controversy as the Arctic Eagles only had one server, when the majority of people only consider a war legal when both armies have two servers, something the Arctic Eagles lacked. On August 8th, 2015, Flumpboi and Bryce came to an agreement in which neither army would attack each other until January 1st, 2017. Additionally, they would share the server White Out, 50% each.[21]

Death and Controversy[edit | edit source]

On August 27th, 2015, The IWS was fired from leadership due to inactivity and was replaced by Zags100.[22] On September 3, 2015, Roccobo2003 announced a temporary leave as his laptop broke[23], due to this, Pokebub became his replacement until his laptop was fixed.[24] On the same day, the Water Troops were invited to the CPAC Hunt and Kill 2015 event.[25] Two days later, the event occured. The Water Troops started off badly, but ended up getting second place in the SMAP bracket. This day was also the day Pokebub departed from leadership.[26]

On September 11th, 2015, Roccobo2003 left the army due to Bryce, an advisor at the time, having too much control over the army without telling Roccobo of any choices.[27] One day later, Spartin5000 was made the new leader by Bryce[28], but only had one event shortly before the death of the army.[29] On September 13th, 2015, Bryce officially announced the end of the 8th Generation of the Water Troops. In the post, Bryce claimed that the shutdown was only temporarily and that WT would return in a few weeks, however, the army never returned and left the Water Vikings with former servers.[30] The events that occurred sparked some controversy in the community with Pokebub accusing Roccobo and Bryce of being the reason for the shutdown of the army.[31]

On September 2nd, 2016, Legoguy30 was authorized to recreate the Water Troops. A day later, the first event occurred, but was rather lacking as the total amount of participants was three. Despite Legoguy30's optimism for the future of the army, the army silently shut down following the first event.
