I have a question that relates to the overall purpose of this thread.
Let's say an unnamed alliance "GOP Patriots", oops, was to use something a little different than stacking. Let's say they simply don't update their bases, so a level 134 industrial is ranked at #13 out of 15 because his base reads lvl 92. How is that considered okay? This Alliance had a bottom 5 that is as strong offensively as their top 5, they basically are stacking right, not iron age stacking to be sure, but they are padding their average isn't that just as bad?
Now this was not intentional, but I had 5 new medieval players that we put into this war because they were new and war participation breeds retention.
In this instance I guess we also stacked, unintentional because I didn't realize I added 5 high powered industrial and 5 maxed Gunpowder who are all ready for Enlightenment. My point is we Will win, but some other alliance would be destroyed.
Isn't that also frowned upon? What do call that when a team has high leveled players, that use both attacks, so they are clearly active, not update their bases?
