No opponent found. The Alliance wars version...

[MadFury]

A lot of people have already started complaining about the fact that the alliance wars rewards are lack luster at best. I tend to agree (NO CROWNS) but we're at least willing to participate. After all 'the first shots haven't been fired' someone said earlier. My concern is however, that shots might not be fired at all! Not a single alliance that I know of mines included, has been able to find a match. Like I said the search criteria is way to narrow. When the hell are we supposed to be able to find another alliance at our level fielding the exact same number of players? If this is going to be an actual alliance wars they need to remove this level restriction and make it a free for all. When the hell was any war fair???? P.s. : alliance wars leader boards and endgame rewards are needed. No exceptions....

Guess BHG never learned

i guess free for all will open the doors for cheating and fake alliances war just to earn the reward loot, if it has to be free for all then there should be requirements for any alliance to be able to war ex: minimum medal and minimum number of members, to avoid faking alliances for war purposes
my main complain is there is no good explaination how war goes no videos made by their devs to explain how things go, and the rewards only food and gold, also the huge increase of base defense during wars which complicates the already overpowered defense over attack

Well there are a lot of things to consider and do first. We have to understand that the rules and gameplay need to be understood by everyone in the alliances before they can jump into it. Also people who want to be in the wars have to build their command posts and have a war base set. The war base part is simple because u can just copy and paste your current base but what I've heard from people in my alliance is that a lot of them have builders tied up doing upgrades because they knew of the impending alliance feature. I'm sure if they knew about the command post requirement, they would have kept some builders free. Some people in the alliance want to make a go of it with those who are ready while some want to wait at least another day or two. I'm sure there are other alliances going through something similar. As I was playing today I took notice of some of the bases I was clicking through and battling. There are still quite a few people who have yet to start their command post and luckily for me I read the forums because my game didnt update automatically. Knowing that the alliance feature was live I upgraded from the play store.

Not enough alliance started wars yet. I haven't declare yet, but will launch in 1 hour. Giving my alliance some time to upgrade their walls haha. Be patience young grass hopper

 

[MadFury]

I don't think it's a patience problem. It's that the devs put in unreasonable conditions that many have already noticed. We all read the rules and as far as I can tell the problem is going to be match making. Let's put it like this, if one of the conditions for war is that the alliances must be of similar offensive and defensive strength, what are top alliances going to do? How can some of the alliance with a lot of 120+ members find alliances of equal strength who are also going to be running an equal number of players? There might be a handful of alliance with enough members of that level. Imagine if all the similar alliances with in your range play different amounts of people. One plays 35 the other 45 and yet another 50. Its easy to see this becoming another problem to add to the ever growing list.

Part of the issue is that if people don't update their games, less opponents too

 

[JRep_Reptile]

I still have to wait 20 more hours before I can build my command post. All my citizens have been busy. No warning on the date of alliance wars so of course unprepared.

 

[MadFury]

That happened to quite a few of our guys as well. We did have more than enough to find a war and try it out though. All of the other alliances on the line chats we're on can't find an opponent either. Other friends of our who have alliances at different levels have been experiencing the same problem.

 

[Nathan Win]

Yeh I've been waiting for 15vs15 and 10vs10 for over 2 hours, still no opponents. You might be right Fury

 

[Heisenberg1913]

Still a little surprised that we haven't been able to start a war yet.
I noticed earlier after I got the new walls released with the update that my war layout was inactive because it was incomplete might want to double check that.

 

[polo1967]

Another thing is some people want to get the most out of the war so they are upgrading their command post to higher levels so that they can get more loot. I'm about to start my upgrade to level three. If you dont use crowns it could take another day or two to get to a level thats worth your while especially for higher level players. I know one player who used up all of his crowns and most of his loot to upgrade to level 6 command post. None-the-less I think it would be good to at least try it out as soon as possible to get a feel for it. As for the numbers problem, those alliances that have 50 members will have an easier time because you can adjust the amount of players needed to start the war if you find that other alliances have less than 50 players. You just have to make sure that the people who are ready 4 war have their boxes checked and those who arent unchecked so that you have an accurate count of people who can participate.

 

[Heisenberg1913]

So if I understand what you're saying if someone active for WW is upgrading command post or any upgrades to city that would stall the alliance from going to war?

 

[polo1967]

Not necessarily. Some people dont want to start until their upgrade is complete. Im sure you can still play once the initial command post is done even if you are upgrading. I had my box checked and it still showed me in the war line-up even though I was in the middle of the upgrade. I just read over the rules again and based on what I read, it could take a whole day to find a match (they said after 24 hours contact support if u havent found one). If that holds true, it could take 3 days because the first day is used for planning once you are matched.

 

[Heisenberg1913]

Gotchas was wondering if that could be the reason people are having issues finding an alliance to go to war with.

 

[Hunter Killer]

You'd be silly to try and go to war with 50 players, you'll never get a match. All alliances always allow 1 or 2 free spots for walk ins.

Then most alliances have inactives or casual players so they can be ignored as well. Then add the low level players who won't be able to be effective and your best bet is to try to go to war with 10, 15 or max 20 players.

This is probably what most alliances will be able to commit.

 

[oepuanna]

We can't find a match either. Legion of Honor.

We have Players from Level 29 to 149. Medals from 200 to 1900

 

[alexmartinez1130]

We have issues too trying to find a match i been searching over 8 hours and nothing. ... hopefully is because we didnt get a warning and people just havent got ready for it

 

[Aurelius...]

Same experience. We'd be happy to fight USA elite 1 or 2, or anyone else. Devs? Let's make it happen.

 

[Jasonian Empire]

Did it just go live yesterday? Maybe give it a week to let everyone update, get command posts built and so forth and see if things don't improve as far as the matchmaking aspect is concerned.
