TERRAWARS


What is Terrawars?

Terrawars is a Terraria Event where you try to claim as much land as possible.

There are 4 teams: Corruption, Crimson, Fungi, and Hallow.

You need to spread your biome as much as possible throughout the land.

You use items like seeds, solution, and powder to accomplish this.

Fungi is different. They sell items to the other teams and don't contribute in battle.


Who created Terrawars?

Terrawars was created by Astrex.

And co-created by Colind8.


What's its history?

Terrawars has had a rocky road. It is a known fact the most, if not, all Terrawars fail.

By "fail", we mean when the event doesn't completely finish or the player base loses interest.

Despite this, we still try to make Terrawars as great as possible.

The first ever Terrawars managed to gather up to 500 players!

It has never met that goal again

Epic FAQ

Q: Why is this site so vague

A: I can't remember everything perfectly, just major moments

Q: This is a total ripoff of Pedguin's Splatoon in Terraria video!

A: We came up with the idea first. This dates back to 2016 and that video released in 2019.












Past Terrawars

This contains information on previous Terrawars. If I skip any numbers, it means they were just regular failures. This isn't 100% accurate as people who tend to forget certain events in their lives, often stretch the truth. I forgot loads of this. If I used your name and you want it to remove, contact me.


Terrawars 1

Cause of Death:

No spawn protection, no SSC, hosted via Steam, no plugins, no anti-cheat, and no forced mediumcore.

Winners:

Fungi

Success rate:

Failed on start

Description:

The first ever Terrawars was one to remember. Astrex posted the thread right when Terraria reached its peak. 1.3 was just recently released, and everyone was playing the game. The invite was posted on Steam and it gained up to 10,000 messages. Probably the most ever for an invite! After the thread gained major popularity, a Steam group was made for updates on the map. People began requesting a Discord server, so that was made too. The thread was deleted due to spammers, so that was gone. For the actual event, there was classes and occupations which no other Terrawars after it had. Once the event started, it went to chaos. Everyone brought bombs and top-tier armor and summoning bosses. Astrex decided to spawn 15 or so Moonlords since he knew it was over anyway. Many people left, but Fungi stayed for some reason, and since they stayed the longest, they won by default. All documentation of the event was lost. The Steam Group, the discord, the thread, and the map. The only thing that remains is a .txt file of the first 50 people to join, their occupations, team, and classes which you can download here. Over time, people grew more desperate to find that "secret formula" on how this Terrawars got so many players. I think it could've been the timing and the customization. Terrawars 1 was released right when 1.3 was released, so Terraria was more active than ever. On the other hand, this is STILL the only Terrawars to have classes and occupations, but who knows? It could've been anything.

Terrawars 2-27

Cause of Death:

Low player turnout, no SSC, some hosts via Steam, and heavy competition

Winners:

None

Success rate:

Failed before start

Description:

So what happens when an event with potential fails? People copy it. 26 extra Terrawars arrised once 1 failed. One of them was run by Silva, a Hallow veteran from Terrawars 1. It failed. Another was run by Astrex again. He didn't finish the map. The rest were by random people on the Steam Forums who tried to get as popular as Terrawars 1, but they all failed. Not a single one succeeded. Probably because everyone on the Steam Forums is kinda dumb.

Terryrawrs 52 (28)

Cause of Death:

None

Winners:

Crimson

Success rate:

Complete success

Description:

What if I told you that there was an actual successful Terrawars? Crazy, right? That actually happened. Agent, a Terrawars 1 veteran from Fungi, created his own Terrawars. Despite having a joke name, it was a complete success! Nothing went horribly wrong and the game finished. "Roses are red, violets are blue, now introducing Terrawars 52."

Terrawars X (30)

Cause of Death:

lack of participants, starting hardmode early, the stripe

Winners:

Crimson and Hallow with a tie

Success rate:

Slight success

Description:

After gaining all the knowledge over the past year and a half, Astrex and Colind8 finally set out to make a successful Terrawars. And they did, but not without its flaws. Most of the teams had defeated the wall of flesh, so the admins decided to start hardmode earlier than it was supposed to. This however proved to be a bad idea, as there was still lots of people without good enough gear to fight. This lead to people quitting before the finish date. Also, once hardmode was activated, a large stripe was planted among the world. The stripe is the big line of whatever evil biome you have. It completely through off the score. Colind8, rather than stopping the server temporarily and going to Tedit, tried removing it by hand. This lead Crimson into a tie with Hallow, the first one in Terrawars history!

Terrawars Hub

Cause of Death:

Bad admins, unrelated events, and lack of Terrawars

Success rate:

Failed after start

Description:

Terrawars Hub was a Discord server where we can keep everyone that participates in Terrawars in one community. Sound like a good idea? Well, everything went down from there. From transferring ownership to an absolute stranger in a month to admins delivering unrelated events while we "wait" for a Terrawars. I don't want to talk much about the events that have occurred as the literal D-day for the server was one of the worst experiences of my life. It's something to leave in the past and forget about.

Terrawars Phoenix (34)

Cause of Death:

Lack of participants

Winners:

Crimson

Success rate:

Slight success

Description:

After a long break from Terrawars, a person named iFlicky decided to make his own Terrawars. This Terrawars revolved around arenas and custom structures to give the Terrawars a unique twist. While the event finished with Crimson as the winner, there wasn't anyone really playing. On average, the event had 1-2 people online per day. The reason Crimson won was because the only person playing on the final days was a Crimson member. The event only accumulated 38 players while other Terrawars gathered about 100 players.


What's next?

Terrawars should've been nothing but a failure, but the community believed in it enough to give it another go over 34 times. But alas, all good things come to an end. While most Terrawars failed, it was a great experience to meet new friends and come up with unique strategies. Some may argue that the planning phase is the most fun part of Terrawars. I would have never achieved such great friends without this event. I salute Astrex for coming up with the idea, I salute everyone who tried making their own, and I salute anyone who stuck around to see Terrawars evolve. It's finally time we say goodbye to our fun little event and maybe sell it to Pedguin for profit. I know the top of this website suggests this is still a thing, but it really no longer is. Terrawars was fun while it lasted, but now, I'm saying goodbye. May new and better things fill us with joy in the future.
