The Bastille Vanguard was formed on November 2, 2024, by former Elite Guardians members Vitorwin, Aucraia, and Seila. This came after the sudden shutdown of their past army following a series of internal conflicts. The Vanguardites quickly made their mark on the army community, with their first event drawing 20 participants. Owing to the major-army size attained, the community looked at this as a signal of a strong start. Moreover, in their first week, they attracted almost 100 members to their Discord server. This greatly reflected both rapid growth and strong community interest.
The Bastille Vanguard’s opening event
During this past September, the Templars faced an unfortunate decline. Thus, they ultimately dropped to small/medium status due to lower activity. Various factors, including members’ real-life commitments, especially academics, contributed to this downturn. Nevertheless, with the recent appointment of new leaders—Caracal Cat, Maguro, Moon, and Mocha—the Templars are now making a steady comeback. They aim to regain major status by revitalizing recruitment and forming new alliances. This strategy supports their goal to restore a strong presence in the community.
The Templars and Bastille Vanguard recently allied, combining their strengths as a means to bolster their influence in the community. Overall, this partnership marks an important new phase as both armies now actively seek to expand their power and resources together. Furthermore, both armies have also recently allied with the Doritos, signaling a strategic shift in the Club Penguin army landscape.
