Many would argue that 2008 began the Golden Ages of armies. Though having created the Ice Warriors the previous year, 2008 was where Iceyfeet1234 and his Ice Warriors began to achieve status as a major army. In the Watex Warriors, who were rising due to Watex’s blogging about armies, Dialga80 and Wii Mountain led the army to greatness during the Watex Wars. The Army of CP and the Nachos continued to rise under some of their greatest leaders, Shaboomboom and Shadow2446, respectively. Finally, following the creation of ANTA, a move to eliminate small armies was made, but Mr. Deedledoo, forming the CPUN and uniting small armies, prevented their destruction.
Iceyfeet1234
Creator and legendary leader of the army Ice Warriors and made the first “Warrior” army often used today. The Ice Warriors was formed during 2007, however it is still thriving today. Iceyfeet led the Ice Warriors for six years, retiring in the Summer of 2012. He led the Ice Warriors to great sizes and is often credited with the first golden age in the Ice Warriors. Iceyfeet led the Ice Warriors for so long and met the face of glory several times, seeing wars beyond the first world wars, and has been a substantial figure in the community to this day. The Ice Warriors will forever be known as Iceyfeet’s army, and he currently holds the record for the longest amount of time as a Top Ten Army Leader by a huge margin, no one to this day has beat Iceyfeet’s reign in the Ice Warriors.
Shaboomboom
Shaboomboom is recognized as one of the greatest ACP Leaders, and one of the three Godfathers of the army, alongside Boomer20 and Oagalthorp. Shaboomboom led the Army of CP during 2008 into new prosperity and sizes, and has come back multiple times to save the army in many tight spots. Shaboomboom is also recognized as one of the greatest philosophers armies have seen outside of the ACP, and was a major advocate against hacking, DDOSing, scamming, and others things of that sort. Shaboomboom was one of the major drafters of the Anti-Hacking Bill, which was revolutionary during its time and led to the actual banning and suspension of people who broke the rules of the bill.
Dialga80
Dialga was the first leader of the Watex Warriors and lead them through the Golden Ages of warfare and through World War 2. While Watex formed the army in his name, Dialga80 was responsible for the rise and success of the Watex Warriors as we know it, recognized as one of — if not the — greatest leaders the army has ever seen, Dialga kept the Watex Warriors as a World Power when the competition was tough against ACP and the rising Nachos, and is known for his fantastic leadership skills.
Shadow2246
One of the most respected people in all of warfare — Shadow2446 is regarded as one of the greatest Nacho Leaders in history. Joining the army in 2007, Shadow rose up the ranks until later that year, when he single-handedly led the Nachos out of a depression to a extremely large troop base, and helped the army to win many wars. He was also one of the finest tacticians of not only his era, but armies as a whole — most notably the line tactic, and the use of emotes to cover up enemy penguins.
Mr Deedledoo
Founded the Club Penguin United Nations, one of the first Club Penguin Army-related organizations. During the large-army plan of Order 66, Mr. Deedledoo united small and medium armies using the CPUN, and paved the way for the idea of uniting bodies and forums in the community. Considered a sort of founder of the small and medium community, Deedledoo will be forever remembered for his work in uniting armies as we know it. He paved the way for sites like CPA Central while giving a voice to tons of small armies who did not have one.
KG 007
Kg 007 is best known for being the first person to lead two major armies, those being the Army of Club Penguin and the Rebel Penguin Federation, despite both tenures being relatively short. He succeeded Commando717 in RPF, and despite being in his shadow, Kg was able to keep RPF in constant contention for the largest army in warfare. Kg later won the first ever leader election in ACP, though his time in ACP was much less notable. Aside from that, Kg is also credited for creating the first documented rules of warfare alongside fellow legend Shadow2446. He also is credited with creating the first ever comprehensive record of army history, as well as the first ever army-wide tournament in May of 2008, which saw the RPF place second under Kg’s leadership.
Wii Mountain
Known as being the leader of the Watex Warriors who, despite many setbacks, some as severe as the word “Watex” being blocked on Club Penguin, he was able to keep WW growing steadily. He could lead with unfathomable skill, and was one of warfare’s most loyal leaders, who never turned his back on an ally, rain or snow.
SpaceyBirdy
As one of the most accomplished female leaders in history, Spaceybirdy is best known recognized for her accomplishments in the Watex Warriors. Following the retirement of fellow legend Dialga80, she saved the Watex Warriors from collapse and was able to stabilize the army to keep it one of the prominent “Big 6″ armies. She came out of retirement numerous times to save WW from near death after her initial tenure as WW leader. Outside of WW, she held high ranks in the early Black Bandits and Fort Ghost Recon, resurrecting the former after its destruction during the Tundra Wars.
Batista1822
Most famous for the role he played during World War IV, Batista was responsible for the formation of the grand alliance – UMA, Nachos, and Ice Warriors. UMA was able to max 40 at times during the war. During his second term as leader he was responsible for the first coup in UMA history overthrowing a poor leadership. He and Trickster formed a dual leadership and lead UMA to 4th in CPAC’s Top Ten. Batista helped to develop tactics such as the “L” formation. He will always be remembered for reasserting UMA’s influence in modern armies and holding his own against many of the great armies of the 2009 Golden Age.
