Archangels is Serbian/Chilean paramilitary unit formed by Marko Krsmanovic in december of 2009.

History

The start

The "Archangels" unit was formed in december 2009 by serbian player Marko Krsmanovic,. The original unit's name was "Angels", and it was created with goal of helping the eNation of Chile by Marko and his serbian friends. All began after Marko decide to do this as thanks to a Chilean girl who help him in the Real Life:

The begenings of the unit weren't too epic, basicly Marko convinced few of his classmates to start playing erep, and together with them bearly managed to raise 20 gold, and start an iron company in NoB. He and his friends worked for half of month for minimal wage, in order to raise some raw materials and money before the action in Chile. Soon the time came for first chilean regrutation.

First regrutation

In the time of the first angels regrutation there, Chile wasnt in too good of a position. Shortage of wars, and almost every activity at all, caused by uncapable govermant led to a even biger level of inactivity in this relatively weak country. Angels regrutation met a warm welcome from chilean public, merged with feeling of insecurity about our intentions. Response to our article was relatively low, and most of chilean players were undisciplined and unfamiliar with concept of erep military unit, because at that time Chile didnt own a regular army. To make things worse, half of Marko's friends decided that erep isnt that interesting anymore, and quit the game. But with time, and alot of efort, things started to get in their place... A q1 weapon company was founded in chile, in order to keep chileans in their motherland. The weaponry was suplied by units iron company, and the whole unit was supplied by its guns. First actions were yet to come.

First Serbian regrutation

Worried of staying the only serbian in this serb/chilean unit, cause of almost all of his serbian troopers leaving the unit and his "crazy" causes, Marko decided to make the first regrutation in his home country... It went unexpectably well... Many experienced players stronger than him joined the unit, and soon the official unit chanel (#angels.cl on mibbit, we still use it :) was created. Serbian members assembled on channel every day, and angels started to seem as a serious unit. A q3 weapon company was created in serbia, from the joined funds of angels, which was in that time quite big of a deal... Soon, the first notiable actions will come.

Rising to power

Situation in Chile

- Caried by the good turn of events in Serbia, Marko came back in Chile with a new hope. By this time he met many chileans that will in the future become his close eFriends in this game. One of them was Rachsuchtig who will with time become leader of the chilean division of angels. Together, two of them, decided to try helping the dead comunity of eChile, by doing the job the ministry of education of the uncapable president should do (the same president later stole all of their national reserves gold and fleed to canada) .

- Marko and Rach started creating tutorials for new players, making quality articles and starting real actions. The name of Angels unit became respected and chileans reallized with time that our intentions were honest. This, and the raise of power by serbian division brought many chilean players in the unit. Although only about 35% stayed for longer than a week, angels got its first tank, ZePeLLiN. At that time, no 1. ranked player of chile, gave a big boost to both units power, and confidence. At the same time, we got our first serbian tank, 78186, and we started to look more and more as a well organized and powerfull unit.

First actions

With alot of effort put into the unit by its officers, power boost by its new super tanks, and few more succesfull regrutations, brought angels to the serbian millitary scene... Soon came our first biger organized attack, the first attack when we got paid to do dmg... We got 20 gold donated from the serbian denmark TO team in order to help in RW's raised at late night hours. 20 gold at that time was kinda a big big deal :) We got 11 members that managed to assemble at 2am (in case of chileans 6am), and do a decent dmg. We started to make detailed battle reports after every action, and to make video clips of, with time, impresive endless avatar raws. Soon, we started to do serious dmg, and after another action for denmark team in which 78186 got BH medal, and the unit did 40% of total serbian dmg, angels became a respected mediumly strong unit. Unit prospered in every way.

Archangels era

New and current Archangels avatar

The birth of Archangels

At almost same time when angels unit was created. At that time, significantly stronger unit, guardian angels, had the same main motive on its avatar. At first, acusations flew from both sides, but after long talks and argumentative explanations from each command, we draw a conclusion that the similarity between name and avatar was purely coincidential, and both decided to keep current marks. Anyway, often conflicts in the press and serbian comunity that seemed unable to understand that there are 2 angels units, created a strong rivality between the folowing sides. On sugestion of one of its main officers, later assistant comander who helped unit alot both with his time and finances, Vlada S, unit changed its name to archangels to avoid further conflicts... Time will show that rivality will last for months, untill the national interest brought the two units together, fighting for the same cause... Anyway, unit got a shiny new avatar, that could be seen on many battlefieles since them to this day. Archangels were born.

The changes in unit command

Black Sheep

- A unit with a big members base, proved to be a tough thing to be led by one man. Current leader, Marko Krsmanovic, had less and less time cause of RL commitments, so he tried to make a strong command center out of his best and most active soldiers. For a while, this system worked, Gianfranco Zola, GrifinNS and Vlada S were main officers who did a wonderfull job. But soon, private reasons left the unit leader almost no time to do his part of job... To solve this problem that became more and more serious, he got to an agrement with Lukaz - leader of another serbian paramilitary unit, "Black Sheep".

- Two units that were almost the same by power, merged in one, under shared comand of Lukaz and Marko Krsmanovic. Later, another unit, "Spartan Legion", under the leadership of Genyo, merged with our unit too... By this time, Archangels grew to be admirable strong unit, at the top of list of strongest serbian units. With time, Marko, driven by his lack of time and unability to furfill his obligations as he would want to, decided to demote himself to a high officer, and Lukaz, who proved himself as extremely active and good comander, took charge of the unit. As his last task for the unit, Marko who saw a huge dissbalance in power between serbian and chilean part of the unit decided to fix the problem. Together with ex chilean president, and at that time MoD of chile - darkneo, chilean elite unit made of its top citizens, "Husares De La Muerte", merged with archangels. At this time, Achangels were surely in top 3 strongest serbian units, and one of the strongest unitr in the world.

The downfall of Archangels

With these changes, unit was you may say an elite fighting force... New chilean super tanks like El Nihilista and Rangoso, together with serbian Lukaz, 78186, eBre and others, could do more damage without tanking than many serbian units. Alltogether unit had around 60 members, from which 55 had the highest v1 military rank, Field Marshal. Average strength in the unit was 25+, which was considered admirable str level at that point. Archangels fought all over the world, and became recognized in phoenix countries as one of serbian strongest elite unit. But with the end of v1, came the dark days for archangels. Majority of members stoped playing, with time meetings became a rare thing, comand honestly became dissapointed on admins ruining the game, and decided not to waste any more efort... Members that continued to play kept their avatars, even though unit practicly didnt exist. Chilean part of unit went back to their homeland as civilians... Many of serbs joined other units...

The rise of Archangels

Even though no one took the time to tell it, we all missed the unit... We did too much for it, and gone so far to stop it now. Finaly after switching rising to this v3 erep, one of archangels and early game oficer of the unit decided to take the matter in his own hands. He conected the old crew back together, and a large majority of ex archangels bearly waited to rejoin the unit. Big help to Gianfranco Zola was made by another old member, SalinasXL, who helped a lot on reorganizing the unit. Soon, ex comander Lukaz came to help to, as soon as he finished his mandate as a serbian MoD. Zligor_st, at that time the strongest serbian by rank points rejoined his old unit as well. The founder Marko and 78186 rejoined after their congresmanships in Chile and Montenegro were over. Legendary Gavrilo Drljaca rejoined. The crew got together once more, and is decisefull on reclaiming its old position once more. Soon in the unit a new motto was born. "once angel, forever angel"
