Welcome to TAWcraft


We have mined, crafted, built and worked together running a casual survival server for over a year and a half. Now that we have a good running server, we are opening up to a bigger community. Being part of the TAW Minecraft gives you access to;
  • - High capacity 24/7 stable dedicated server in Amsterdam, 12 core 32GB RAM that should last us the next few months.
  • - Fun events (3+ times each week; the Walls, Pearlwars, Mob Racing, Pit Frenzy, and many more)
  • - Dynamic player-driven economy
  • - Tekkit server for our members
  • - Active global membership, but english as spoken language
  • - Teamspeak 3 server for all members to use as our main gathering place when gaming
  • - Specialised training to bring out your potential as a leader/designer/moderator or technical specialist
  • - Website @ Taw.net where game and user-generated content is published
  • - Steam, Facebook and Twitter groups.
  • - Merchandise shop for T-shirts, hats, pins, posters and other items for specific games or general TAW-themed goods that funds our servers.

All is done on a not-for-profit and done by well organised volunteers and Minecraft enthusiasts. All voluntarily donated money is used for server cost and upgrading the server for the best experience.


What is The Art of Warfare? (TAW)

The Art of Warfare (TAW) was formed in March 2001 by a group of gamers who met by playing Delta Force together and wanted to form a community.

We have over 1700 active and organised members from all around the world playing over 20+ different games from Arma, League of Legends to Hawken and World of Warcraft. Our members are part of the TAW community because they share a common sense of; Honor, Friendship, Loyalty, and Fair Play.

Tuesday’s PVP Event: Pearl Wars



TAWcraft hosted another Pearl Wars Event, which was a very fast and enjoyable game.

The game got off to a smooth start with both teams doing what they can to gather resources to get ready to fight. But, Blue team had a tactic. The tactic was to rush Red team’s base with TnT and a pressure plate and blow up the iron block.



Blue started the rush tactic, ambushing and confusing the Red team, but by the time Red team realised what was going on. The game was up. The game lasted only 15 minutes which is our fastest Pearl Wars game ever!

Thursday’s Open PVP Event: Chunk Wars


TAWcraft hosted another event yesterday - a special public open beta of Chunk Wars, with the developers attending to hear feedback from players after the event. Today's event had a special twist - one life only! Yellow Team took an early lead over everyone. They rushed the centre, Ender Pearling in from the top of the Jungle to snatch the enchanted bows. TopazFlame successfully retrieved their isolated team member and the bows were secured! Play was careful and tense for a while after - but something had to give.



A spate of deaths while gathering Iron and Diamonds reduced all teams to half strength within about five minutes. Yellow Team almost wiped themselves out getting pinned down by an army of Endermen and Skeletons in the Abandoned Mineshaft, but pulled together with VxBlink freeing a trapped team mate to retrieve 60 Iron for Yellow.



After more intense skirmishes the final fight came down to a 2v2 between Yellow and Blue. As Yellow pushed forward they were ambushed by a scout from Blue - emerging from the Nether Chunk spamming snowballs and almost propelling one of the Yellow team to their death in the void. But Yellow recovered and the enchanted Flame Bows paid massive dividends forcing Blue to drop back as Yellow pushed in for the final kills and victory!

Our small building competition has ended. We had 5 individual participants and 2 teams that tried their best in this event.

Dogstar
Dajaroo
Domanator
TurtoisBee
Jamiesb
Aeromunod & Murch
reddy & ffaen

We brought together the silly builders, and asked them to create projects, that could possibly be used for city in one of the worlds on MC server. After 2 long weeks, and millions of hours spent on building, we had 7 different projects to look at and to admire. Each of them different and with their own feel was now standing in our scrap yard waiting for the judges to evaluate their work.


And the results are:

1st place - Dajaroo
2nd place - Aeromundo & Murch
3rd place split among these members - TurtoisBee, Dogstar, Domanator

BIG thank you to all participants and we hope to see more and more people participating in the future. Here are few pics of entries. We welcome participants to reply to this post explaining why they built in the way they did and share some pictures as well, if they like


Dogstar

reddy & ffaen
You may look, but no touchy!



Aeromundo & Murch
Fashionable!




TurtoisBee
Local's priest love shack, with mini offering stone creature at entry.



Dajaroo

Domanator

Jamiesb
The simplicity might be the answer, at least for these tourists around this small temple.




And For last, i leave you with a pic of some of our judges relaxing and discussing the entries.

Thursday PVP Event: Pearl Wars


TAWcraft hosted a Pearl Wars event today.



Team Red and Blue fought it out in a long game which lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes! Both teams started out slow, being careful not to fall into the void. Blue's strategy was to rush with TnT while Red were gathering resources to defend and eventually push to win...

...and this time the Blue team triumphed by sneaking behind Red's push and planting 4 TnT on the iron block, destroying it and winning the game for Blue.

Blue Team:
Blink
Zaphy
LoxosEU
Feinth

Red Team:
TurtoisBee
slipcor
TopazFlame

Tuesday PVP Event: The Walls


Today we played a very fast walls game where we had four teams, Red, Blue, Yellow and Green. The Walls were set to drop after 25 minutes.

The game started with all teams going straight underground to find materials and resources, But unfortunately two teams, Red and Blue got eliminated and removed from the game by mobs. Very unlucky, but...

The other two teams, Yellow and Green both survived until wall fall and got stuck in. Green team infiltrated Yellow's territory but when Yellow appeared from underground, they were more equipped. Both Green and Yellow lost a man, but Yellow's firepower was too much for the remaining player. Congratulations to Wasabisjours and TurtoiseBee!

Sunday’s PVP Event: Tower Control & Pit Frenzy


Today we had a close battle between 2 teams, which required a tie breaker to discover the winner of our epic practice.



Our first event was Tower Control, where each team have to battle it out to capture each other’s towers. The combat was great, but a 4 person rush underground from the Red team was too much for Blue, and Red came out victorious.


Then we moved onto Pit Frenzy, where we played multiple rounds. When it reached 2-2 between Red and Blue a last minute tie breaker round was called. Both teams tried there hardest to win, but Blue triumphed with only one person left! Close game!

Thursday Practice: Pit Frenzy & Mob Race


Yesterday, TAWcraft hosted 2 events. Pit Frenzy and Mob Race.



The objective of Mob Race is to be the first person to reach the centre and trigger the Lamps/Note Blocks via Pressure Plates. We played multiple rounds and had a lot of fun!



Pit Frenzy was a close game. Both teams played well and we saw some interesting tactics! In the end the Red Team triumphed over Blue, winning 2-1

Tuesday Team PVP Practice: Chunk Wars (The Aftermath)


Another great event on Tuesday as TAW played host to the the first public open beta test of Chunk Wars.



We played 2 closely fought games in an hour and a half. Communication and strategy were key to each of the victories and we even saw a new 'Rush The End Chunk' strategy.

Thanks to everyone who attended - we're looking forward to hosting more events like this in the future!

Sunday team pvp event: The Walls
Old classic, but always fun. Feel the simpleness of the original concept works better than the Walls2. Our walls is slightly modified, so it collapses at longer intervals if we want to. Today it was short (20mins) because of the TAW wide meeting (500 people in TS at once!) held straight after.

Today we also announced our biweekly creative build challenge, where our members are competing for a flat in our Spawn city by building an aztec/inca inspired building. Will post the highlights of that here on 2 weeks time.

In walls, 3 brave souls on fighting it out top, the rest scheming and plotting underground:

Thursday team pvp event:
Today we went head to head with Team Red (Feinth as captain) vs Team Blue (Reddie as captain) in Pearl Wars. A TAW created arena consisting of 2 bases with small resource island between them. The goal is for each team to build up defences and weaponry to attack the opposing teams master block. First team to knock the other teams block wins. With any means necessary, TNT included Navigation is done by ender pearls, hence the name.




This time, after a long grueling match lasting 1.5 hours, Team Red won, blowing up Team Blue's block seconds before the other team did the same to them.

The mobs on these tiny little islands doesn't make it easier navigating around either:
