Mismatch of the year ?

[Arya_Dominations]

So after 19+ hours of searching, Boot Camp (gunpowder and under) finally got a match.... we are facing 7 IA, 2 EA. What on Earth ??

Boot Camp : 1 EA, 14 GP, 10 MA, 10 CA.
enemy alliance : 7 IA, 2 EA, 5 GP, 11 MA, 9 CA, 1 IrA.

This is as bad as an industrial alliance matched up against half a dozen atomics....

It was your search time maybe ?

 

[Manifesto]

Perhaps Nexon wants to build 'character' ?

 

[Spaceboy]

They want to make your game "challenging & motivating". Happy now ?

One would think that the potential glory for winning agsinst those odds would be yuuuge, but it is 127 if we win, 442 if we lose..... ??

Apparently beating Boot Camp with 7 industrials is such a feat that it warrants 442 glory.

(To ge honest Boot Camp only had one narrow defeat in it's war history, succes largely due to Christopher's no nonsense leadership).

This is why our guys don't leave the war search running more than an hour or so. They will cancel it, change out a couple of players (not everyone is in every war anyway), and then rerun. If the search goes overnight, it is almost always a mismatch one way or the other.

I am surprised that the glory is so small for a victory. I wonder what goes into that calculation.

this is why I refuse to war anymore.

Update :

It turned out to be a great experience. Challenging, stressful, nerve-wrecking, until the very last second.
We lost by 4 stars.
No regrets.

 

[Manifesto]

Well done!

I was going to comment that it would be funny if you won! Then I saw your post, nice effort. Age gives you some indication of war strength, but not a lot. With both university and library upgrades hidden, it is hard to know for sure how hard or easy a matchup might. Then there are coalition boost that are very powerful when upgraded.

war matchmaking is a joke if we are honest and stackers are getting more desperate (keep sending tickets and complaining everyone) we are meeting them in 10 V 10 and 15 V 15 with our 2 smaller alliances and some of these stackers alliances have 40+ players as well and are going to war with 10 or 15 players, we are doing well against them though, the introduction of the war timer (if it happens) might end it for me when we stalemate much higher alliances and loss glory and loot against much higher players who can take our lower bases down faster, this is real motivation to stop warring for me, we might have much lower players hitting players an age higher up to 40 levels higher for sweet nothing, wow this is a great idea nexon!!!!! at least for now we can stalemate and lose nothing, sorry for the rant but this is really frustrating for us! or is there a cure lol
