Hi @Harlems369th @BHGAustin
Everyone gets losing glory in war - 15.
Is it visual bug ? Losing team will lose 15 or different amount of glory?
Is this some new system to prevent glory sniping?

We've identified the issue here - despite some changes to this system the behavior you're seeing isn't what's intended and we're working on a solution for it now
Why are changes being made to the game, but there is no announcement? Why does BHG hide many formulas for calculating values, what is so secret about them? This does not allow players to understand how the game works, and if there is no such understanding, then it will not be possible to play at full strength

In other words…

BHG decided to cap the loss of Glory at -15 but screwed up the code and instead of losing 15 glory the losing team is gaining 15 glory.

Epic fail.

2 reasons, first of all the coding error is ridiculous, lack of checking your work causes this type of blunder. Secondly, if BHG did indeed intend to cap the glory loss at -15 this shows how disconnected from the game your staff is.

Instead of listening to those crying about outdated charts your resources should be applied towards adding more interesting aspects to the game.

I’ll even toss you a freebie…

Why are you targeting attackers with your sales of offensive directives? Useless and not worth the money especially when attackers already spend money on Troop Tactics to do their attacks. You need to shift your focus to audience that doesn’t spend as much on the game in regards to consumables- defenders. Most Defenders don’t waste as much money on consumables (Troop Tactics). Now if you targeted them with Defensive Drones that were consumables you are tapping into the other half of your customers. Here’s a few ideas I came up with:

Same way you lock in your museum and council before war starts. When a war begins whatever defensive drone is activated it would be consumed. Simple programming could scan for a consumable drone in war drone building and consume it once war begins.

“Shockwave Drone” stuns invading troops for 2 seconds, pulses every 10 seconds when active. Obviously alternating with another defensive drone.

Or… “EMP drone” distorts vision over the area drone covers for 10 seconds

Or… “Caltrop Drone” slows and suppresses all enemies in the area drone covers while active

This is how you keep all of your customers happy.

Well, yesterday we lost a war and got a 15 glory plus, weird. Then we started a search and got a match. Now our glory loss would be minus 15 glory.

Conclusion: BHG changed the formula now but still the glory loss is capped at 15.

Why?

i do not get it...whats the point of capping the glory loss at -15? doesnt make sense
I stated a theory earlier somewhere, but will make the _guess_ here. In order to help combat glory sniping, a new (Perk 1) alliance can't cause an opponent to lose more than 15 glory. Given every alliance shows as Perk 1 in the war history log, new code may be confused today thinking _every_ alliance is Perk 1 thus causing all wars to max at -15 glory.

Glory sniping isn’t necessarily done from an alliance with a level 1 perk. I mean after a couple wars they wouldn’t be level 1 perk anymore 🤷🏻‍♂️.

People complain about glory sniping but the reality is you’re giving your opponents an advantage while being handicapped (less perks, less parliament benefits)

I think the fact that BHG feels the need to get involved with glory sniping is ridiculous. Its just a strategy that players used in a game about strategy 🙄 I can assure you this will blow up in their faces and more people will not like the results :)

I was merely making a guess here; maybe perk 2 is -20, perk 3 -30, and so on. In the end I'm only attempting to speculate what cause a bug which is, in the very least, more fun than raiding for gold :)
