💥alliance-clash・res-war

[quartz lotus]

Ahhh. I only glanced

[bold fractal]

Thankfully I'm not in your alliance for this lol

I heard valence ring is knowledgeable

[cyan fern]

Maybe a little, also your alliance is scary

[bold fractal]

Whos lol

[cyan fern]

Yours

[bold fractal]

Oh lol I usually am they make res and alliance fun though lol

[cyan fern]

That's the important part. I'm interested to see what happens this week. One of the alliances we're up against refused NAP the last 2 times and now they want one

[reef spruce]

I mean he has his own server so yeah kinda

[bold fractal]

I'm in it lol it's big

[bold fractal]

I've never broken a nap and I'm even nice enough to give the enemy alliances some.towers if we are dominating so they get points

[pure salmon]

I've broken nap once for a good reason lol

[cyan fern]

We usually do doom and 2 towers then ffa last 10 or 15

Gives those of us who want to fight a chance to

[manic brook]

It’s simple really. Don’t accept NAP if you have no intention of keeping it. 😤 otherwise… keep to your word please 🥺

[reef spruce]

I always do unless they’re being buttheads and break it first.

[cyan fern]

There's always The Accidental breaks.

[pure salmon]

Agreed. 1 clash we had a 3 way nap. doom and 2 towers. We were the biggest alliance and the second biggest started breaking nap and took a safe tower and I went over and slapped them out and babysat the tower and gave it back

[cyan fern]

That's the way to handle it.

[reef spruce]

Once or twice is okay. If they handle it or apologize.

[cyan fern]

Exactly.

[manic brook]

There’s always a few that don’t read notices of deals 🤣🤣🤣

[cyan fern]

Always

[reef spruce]

[quartz lotus]

Very

[carmine nest]

What does that say?

[unique zenith]

Never NAP in res or ac. If you’re up against players stronger than your alliance but you can put up a fight, it gives them either 6 or 9 buildings (if you do doom and 2 towers) that they don’t need to worry about taking or holding, that leaves them free to jump around and hit every other building on the map as they please to win trucks

the only time my alliance will do an NAP is if in res war we go up against an alliance we drastically overpower and we will give them their doom fortress so they can get points from the trucks that reach it (as we all know they often favour one side of the map)

[uneven kayak]

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been chastised here over those exact thoughts. If your team is a team that fights hard. And you’re the weaker team, doing a NAP just guarantees a loss in most cases. Not all but most. Glad to know I’m not crazy

[quartz lotus]

We almost always do a NAP. One clash there was a team that didn't do NAPs. We tried our hardest to make sure they got 3rd. It was close between them and the other alliance. We ofc formed a pact with the alliance that would NAP and agreed to not attack any of their buildings. We won by a good bit

[cyan fern]

Same here. We went up against them twice and just got them again. They NAP this time

[unique zenith]

yep, we’ve often won against alliances who had us outgunned because we spread their strongest players thin and could hold 2/3s of the map

[quartz lotus]

Yeah. When we face alliances that don't do naps my alliance will often leave them our standard NAP buildings but if it were up to me they wouldn't even be able to make point minimums and they would get no buildings.

[wraith cape]

はじめまして。

[unique zenith]

it’s a war game and all your troops come back at the end. chill lol

[quartz lotus]

I am chill

[unique zenith]

nothing wrong with not making NAPs, it’s when NAPs are made and broken that problems should arise

[cyan fern]

I have found that the groups that refuse to make NAPs are usually the ones that complain the most

However I like a good fight so I don't mind either way

[unique zenith]

Not us, we just like the fight

But I have noticed similar amongst other alliances

[cyan fern]

I'm always amazed at how fast people forget this is just a game

[quartz lotus]

I know. What I am saying if a team doesn't want to make a NAP I personally try to make sure that they don't get points. I am giving them what they wanted which is a fight

[uneven kayak]

That’s kinda the point. The fight. Makes the game fun

[cyan fern]

I have no issues with groups that don't want to make one I have an issue with groups that are rude when they say they don't want to make one

[reef spruce]

A NAP doesn’t have to be all encompassing. It can be only a few buildings and part time. That’s just what we do. We leave other things open and have a FFA at the end but honestly it’s whatever works for your own team so it’s really no use saying what you should and shouldn’t be doing or what’s bad. Even the biggest alliances in the game have NAP during RW/AC

[reef spruce]

That goes to #🏆alliance-conquest

[lime robin]

Thank you

[livid star]

Mods!!!! I was hit hard in clash, as I’m trying my best to relocate before the next hit, that damn heal pack purchase page pops up and freezes my screen. I then get zeroed because I can’t relocate in time. Please please please tell them to stop with the heal pack pop up!!! It’s like hey, you got just got screwed- let us make it 10x worse. When the game dev would rather you spend money than actually play, they frustrate us cash cows and lose customers. Seriously!!! Ridiculous!!!!

[carmine nest]

It was definitely on my report this week and will be again. At least it was just clash where your troops come back shortly anyway, but the pop up is annoying and needs to go anyway 👍

[dense trench]

Just thought I'd let y'all know not to make a deal with this alliance don't waste your time. They will break nap anyway. Just mess them up 😂

[barren temple]

Yep. Had em a few weeks ago. They pleaded for a deal. Gave it to em. 10 minutes in, broken. We went to town.

[dense trench]

They claimed it was FFA last 10 min. That wasn't part of the deal 😂.

[teal laurel]

Who can change defense captains in towers in res and clash? Is it officers or any R4? Or is it specific officers?

[carmine nest]

R5, militarist and overseer can change captains.

[quartz lotus]

Super reinforce will also change the captain. But that is player based and you have to spend diamonds. It will also apply the stats of whoever activates it to all the troops in the tower so really only the strongest should super, or the strongest person in the tower should use it.

[harsh thorn]

Hi. Question on AC. Does the rewards ( clean water) go to every players in the alliance even if he/she never join in the clash?

[cyan fern]

For clash you have to score a minimum amount of points. So you actually have to participate.

[harsh thorn]

Even if the alliance won the AC? Only the players participate in it get alliance rewards?

[quartz lotus]

That is only for the point rewards I believe. I think everyone in the alliance gets the win reward

[quartz lotus]

I stand corrected.
@harsh thorn

[quartz lotus]

Yes you have to get atleast 1 point to get the alliance reward

[cyan fern]

Occasionally I get things right😊

[harsh thorn]

Thanks. 1 more. The clean water can be kept correct?

[cyan fern]

Yeah. You can sit on it

I still have some in my bag I don't spend all of it every time

[harsh thorn]

Thanks everyone

[gusty hatch]

I'm so proud of this.

[frozen olive]

Awesome job!

[quick ingot]

I know alot alliances, make an agreed apon rules like 2 closes towers and doom, or 2 closest towers

Is there away we can put feature in so once rules are set they can't broken

I know some teams with break the agreed apon rules if they start losing

[manic brook]

Plenty of players would find this feature useful, however the chances of it happening is unlikely.

Rules like NAP, first march and hosting WK are all player made rules and not integrated into the actual game… like having a minimum night requirement or cool down timer. The devs won’t interfere with the war aspect of the game.

[quick ingot]

I think for what many people choose to NAP is cause of the troop loss, it takes so long to build the troops, like 100s of days r or 1 full line to lose in seconds

I think if there wasn't troop loses would be alot less NAPS

[manic brook]

But in events like Clash and RW… you get your troops back.

[quick ingot]

Those are more a. Set agreement so all teams can get full points

I love the war aspect of the game but wouldn't want to lose years of work in 1 event

[manic brook]

Yes. Which are player made rules.

The game would still run the same with or without rules. It’s the players choice to negotiate a set of guidelines for the event.

If the player/alliance wants to break those rules and have war with another player, why would the devs restrict that from happening?

….and are we still talking about Clash / RW? Cause again, you don’t lose troops in those events even if the other alliance breaks the NAP. 🤣 if youre wanting to, you can post the suggestion in #💭closed-game-suggestions

[quick ingot]

Lol

[vernal leaf]

Hi, anybody has a screenshot of time event options for Reservoir War/Alliance Clash, trying to make a poll but I can't find that info anywhere.

[cyan fern]

This is in eastern time zone

@vernal leaf

[vernal leaf]

Thank you.

[dapper dune]

I'll sign up for then next time

[cyan fern]

That's not actually our time. We usually do the last one

[dapper dune]

We alternate 1st and last

[cyan fern]

We usually do last. First is too late for our players in Europe

[icy grove]

If you leave an alliance after res wars sign up and then go back, can you participate? I know you can’t join a new alliance but wasn’t sure if you can when you were in that same alliance, left and then go back…

[frozen olive]

You cannot leave after the sign up period starts. Must be in the total time. From signup until the war.

[reef spruce]

nope. you can't leave at all.

[icy grove]

Thanks! Wasn’t sure if it was like showdown where you can leave and come back to the original one. Thought I would ask 🙂

[quartz lotus]

Imma complain about our match up on here and make your life harder 😊

[reef spruce]

I'm in the mood for a laugh

[quasi escarp]

Is the match up for Res War random, or are the competitors grouped together based on something specific?

[carmine nest]

It is based on your Corp Affinity (the score earned or lost from your previous matches) and the timeslot you chose. Otherwise, it is random. Sometime they match evenly, and sometimes they arent.
If you click on the ❕ in the top right of the event page, it will show you all the details, including the matching mechanics.

[quasi escarp]

Thank you! 🌹

[prisma oriole]

This may have already been answered previously but if someone attacks do you lose rss?

[reef spruce]

Not in AC or RW

[prisma oriole]

Ok thank you

[silent merlin]

Fyi if anyone goes up against Dv- from s322 they will not honor a nap so hope you have t12s in your alliance to go up against them if you do.

And it was there leader that broke nap

[keen flare]

What he said ☝️

[sacred monolith]

What he said too☝☝

[reef spruce]

Okay

[ivory trellis]

Oh their leader is a big boy.

[sharp tiger]

Out of curiosity - why does this alliance get a special font in alliance clash rankings?

[manic brook]

In the early stages of the game, there was a code available that allowed custom colors. It was disabled months ago since it was causing issues. But a few still remain.

[reef spruce]

[crisp elbow]

What does Nuka Ore from Alliance Clash do? Gathered just for fun 😂

[prime rivet]

It gives you more overall points.

[crisp elbow]

Oh ok thank you! Does it go into my bag though?

[prime rivet]

Nope. It goes to the alliance points during the event.

[crisp elbow]

Gotcha. Was so confused seeing the other alliance gather

[prime rivet]

That’s why the gathering 🙂

[unique depot]

is there a post somewhere (didn't see one pinned) that explains the scoring?

[reef spruce]

In game it does, when the event is active. We don’t have one here. It’s when you tap the button

[valid hedge]

Today we got shafted by the game. The water trucks never came to the lower half of the map. Twice the water trucks circled the same 4 building at the same time (but different order). Definitely some programming opportunities there.

[reef spruce]

It’s by design so that you are incentivized to fight more.

[harsh quarry]

I’ve come to realize that, for this game, we need to let go of the ‘but it isn’t fair’ mentality many of us labour under.
We have been complaining about the randomness of the truck for more than a year, and it still favors one corner or another each week.
I know the game is seen as a match 3 game, can even find it under match 3 in your game store, but it is more of a war game than that.
War has never, and will never, be fair. The victors are smart, they are crafty, and they can strategize in the fly.
You don’t have to be the strongest, or have the most buildings, or even be in the corner the truck goes to most often. You have to use strategy so your strongest can follow the truck and take a building from the other alliance when the water is headed there. You only have to hold it 3 mins to get the water points, if you’re there when it passes.
There are a lot more tips and tricks, I’m sure. Why not discuss those instead of complaining about which way the truck went.

[reef spruce]

My alliance won a RW with 3 people online. It was a lot of strategy.

[harsh quarry]

I bet!
I’m a happy camper today, too! It’s a holiday here, so I actually get to participate in the one in the last time slot! Woohoo!

[torpid axle]

Hey all, I was reading the rules and was under the impression that you could join res war or alliance clash as long as you were in the alliance for signup and matching,, this is now not the case,, when did it change?

@reef spruce

[bold fractal]

A few updates ago

[torpid axle]

Thanks

[bold fractal]

They did that to prevent players from hiding might and from joining other alliances

[torpid axle]

I understand stopping the bouncing

But I left main alliance to farm alliance and back to main alliance where I was for signup and matching

Wasn’t hiding might,, just grabbing rss lol

[frozen olive]

Must be in the alliance before signup starts.

[bold fractal]

Yeah unfortunately need to stay the whole tine

[torpid axle]

I was in the alliance for signup and matching,, left for an hour , and was not allowed to join the battle

[frozen olive]

Can’t leave. Period. Your stuck

[torpid axle]

Lesson learned lol

[frozen olive]

Happened to me many times because I forget too lol

Can’t join during signup. Must be before. Key words too

[torpid axle]

I still thought could be in before, stay for matching and be ok lol

Oh well I don’t miss many lol

Thank all! Cheers!

[frozen olive]

Almost 8-10 months ago they changed it

[reef spruce]

This has been the rule for almost a year. You can’t leave at all.

[torpid axle]

Thanks,, goes to show how often I leave the alliance lol

[valid hedge]

In all the times I have done RW or AC, it was never as blatant as today. You say ‘randomness of the water trucks’ but the MOD who directly responded says it’s by design. I said we were shafted, so what? We had 12 people on and we had the most buildings. The other two had 36 and 45 players on. So yes, apparently ’by design’, we were shafted.

[frozen olive]

We’re your buildings full of 30 people? That also makes a difference.

[crisp elbow]

What do you mean that ‘it’s by design’?

[quartz lotus]

It is random but it will never be completely even on trucks because that doesn't encourage fighting

[reef spruce]

You will never have trucks evenly go to all sides. The game isn’t trying to be “fair” it’s pushing you to actually battle if you want to win. This is a survival/war/strategy game.

[crisp elbow]

Oh right, I get it now… no wonder it favours certain sides during games. @quartz lotus @reef spruce

[harsh quarry]

For Res we’ve started NAPping the 2 towers and doom, but One tower is on the opposing teams side so, hopefully, we get water points one way or another.
There are ways to make things more even in a game which encourages, and is based on, war/things not being fair. They’re not easy to come up with, and not everyone will agree, you just have to be creative and think outside the box.

[valid hedge]

That’s what I just sent out to our R4s and R5 so we can make sure we are spread out.

[reef spruce]

Don’t do a NAP the entire time.

[inland summit]

Yeah have it a free for all the last 15 minutes. Then you can try to take any tower the trucks are going to. You all should have enough personal points
(36k) by then so everyone at least gets all 3 reward tiers

[harsh quarry]

We try to at least leave doom nap for late comers.
Why is it that, even in res war where you stand to lose absolutely nothing but a little pride, nobody wants hq hits?

[reef spruce]

We do it at the end. Whoever wants to.

[harsh quarry]

Some days I feel like even if I sent my coordinates in battlechat, they would ignore it! lol.

[inland summit]

Lol, I've seen it like that. And I've seen it end with burning bases everywhere.

[harsh quarry]

I have too.
Before I can even suggest it, they say no sanctuary hits. Sigh.
Lately though, they have mostly been agreeable.

[quartz lotus]

I know. No one ever wants to play

[reef spruce]

Lol we agreed to that once and then figured out why they asked for it and never doing it again

I didn’t think about it when it was suggested

[quartz lotus]

They still couldn't take the mil base though

[reef spruce]

But hitting people’s sanctuaries during is a strategy and afterwards it’s just for fun or testing defenses

[reef spruce]

true

[inland summit]

I'm cool with asking for no hits from the mud.

But otherwise nope

[quartz lotus]

That was funny. March after march sent to the slaughter

[reef spruce]

Yeah it didn’t cross my mind that no hits period was a bad idea. Idk why. I didn’t catch it.

[inland summit]

Learning experience

[quartz lotus]

Well we weren't doing the NAPs for it and I think we had already agreed

[reef spruce]

No we had NAP

[quartz lotus]

We didn't sent up the NAP someone else in the alliance does that

[reef spruce]

Well I was using we as the whole alliance

But I still could have said it was a bad idea and it just didn’t occur to me

[inland summit]

I still don't care for clash.

[reef spruce]

I don’t either

[pure salmon]

I prefer res 👀

[quartz lotus]

I like both

[inland summit]

Clash is ok when all 3 are close in size. Then at least it comes down to strategy and teamwork but it always seems like 1 alliance is vastly ahead of the others.

[quartz lotus]

Or when 2 are closely matched it is like a large res war and the 3rd can't do anything

[inland summit]

True

[pure salmon]

Yeah I dislike more when there's not an even fight. Our clash the one team had 2 over 1b players. We got no where near that lol

[quartz lotus]

Our enemy had 1. Good thing we were trying to lose

We were roughly even with the 3rd team though

[pure salmon]

We weren't trying to lose. We genuinely like fighting. So it was kinda upsetting not being able to do anything.

[quartz lotus]

Well we were trying to stay out of legends

[reef spruce]

We had to try to stay out of second

[inland summit]

Its hard lol

[pure salmon]

Sounds scary

[harsh quarry]

Yesterday, we had a NAP breaker alliance. The other two banded together and got them out of all buildings, then handed back what was part of NaP to those who had followed it.

[wraith apex]

if I have injured troops in my infirmary, do I need to heal them prior to res war in order to use them while there?

[quartz lotus]

Our Res match up is so unfair........... @reef spruce
I need you to do something about it

[quartz lotus]

Yes

[wraith apex]

I was afraid so, thank you

[quartz lotus]

You're welcome

[reef spruce]

We don’t even know what it is yet lol

[quartz lotus]

Oh sorry my bad

[reef spruce]

Troll

[quartz lotus]

Sorry got ahead of myself

[quartz lotus]

Pls refer to my previous complaint

[cyan fern]

I predict I run out of troops quickly tomorrow

[reef spruce]

Train more!

[cyan fern]

We're up against a 40 who's gear all has frames

[round mauve]

Quick question.. I'm creating some information for my members and I want to make sure my facts are straight.

In order to win a tower you must kill at least 50% of the troops (the same as a lair) for it to be considered a victory correct?

[quartz lotus]

Yes

[round mauve]

Thanks that's what I thought. Just didn't want to spread misinformation. 👍

[quartz lotus]

And you have to hold it for 3 minutes before it becomes yours

[cosmic lintel]

If your alliance is in res war. Can only hq 18+ join?

[pure salmon]

Yes

[lyric kestrel]

Hi is there anyplace where we can get information as to what exactly has to be done in each event?. Any writeup or video.

[cyan fern]

You can usually find useful info in the pins for each channel. If you're on mobile I usually click the people icon at the top and you'll see the pins icon above the people list

However there are some YouTubers that may have guides and they've started a channel here to add guides

[harsh quarry]

I usually slide my screen left, lol since people and search tend to be too close together for my fat fingers 🤣

[cyan fern]

Luckily my phone comes with a stylus

[prime shadow]

Hi everyone! Can someone please remind me at what league the logistic bases are unlocked? Thank you!

[cyan fern]

I want to say it's when the teleport times start to lower. So around veteran league

[prime shadow]

Thank you 😄

[cyan fern]

I might be wrong.

[prime shadow]

In any case I’ll found out in few hours 🥰 ty anyways

[cyan fern]

Good luck!

[carmine nest]

Veteran 2 is when logistics opens

[prime shadow]

Thank you!

[open galleon]

Warnung vor S500 NIX, lasst euch nicht auf NAP ein. Das sind Ratten.

[tulip valve]

We actually all ran out of teleports yesterday. First time both teams were all completely frozen. 🤣

[quartz lotus]

Diamond fight

[cyan fern]

Time for me to end up extra crispy

[faint rampart]

Question? Are you able to un-equip your gear and hero’s and go against a less stronger alliance in rw or ac for matchmaking? Or is it based on Alliances Showdown?

[inland summit]

No you can't strip gear to get a better matchup, no it isn't based of showdown. Matchups are made based on timeslot and affinity

[pure salmon]

Man I remember the days when people use to do that😂

[inland summit]

It was horrible. I was in a midsize alliance our biggest was an average size 31 and we would get matched up with monsters

[pure salmon]

That was some horrible times

[reef spruce]

It makes no difference people are just wasting their time

[pure salmon]

Didn't it uses to work like wayyyyy back in the days

[reef spruce]

Nope. People just believed it did. They would quit their alliances also.

[pure salmon]

I know quiting worked but didn't know about the gear

[reef spruce]

Quitting didn’t work.

People just believe anything

[inland summit]

Pffft stop using your alternative facts

[pure salmon]

Technically quitting did work with how randomly 1b players used to show up😳 😳 😳

So the way it is now is amazing

[frozen olive]

I used to take my farm to other alliances after I did res with my main.

[reef spruce]

Well I mean it didn’t work for matchups. Just worked in screwing over the other team.

[wispy herald]

Actually it did work in the very early stages as of a bug.. same for might improve. But that is more than a year ago

[narrow ore]

Is there a way to kick an alliance member from a tower or building as an R5 or overseer like you can from rallies and the alliance fort? For example a player is breaking agreed upon rules, can they be kicked from the building without kicking them out of the alliance?

[reef spruce]

No. The tower captain can. Overseer can only change captains.

So if you made yourself captain you could remove them

Or ask the current one to do it

[narrow ore]

Ok perfect. Going to make a suggestion, then. This is specifically in regards to NAP violators, just would be easier to cancel rallies etc if someone isn’t responding in chat

I thought so, just wanted to verify

[reef spruce]

Overseer and R5 can dismiss rallies

[narrow ore]

Thank you

[manic brook]

So can militarist! Don’t forget about em!

[reef spruce]

Militarist is the most useless role so I never remember them

[manic brook]

🤷🏻‍♀️ that would depend on who you have assigned to the role

[reef spruce]

I view militarist as the officer position you give to someone so they feel important but you don’t actually want them to have any power or to touch anything lol

Like when you give a baby your phone but it’s turned off

[manic brook]

…but overseer has the same settings and capabilities as militarist. So, it’s still based on who is assigned to the role.

[quartz lotus]

[inland summit]

Why you so mean....I used to be militarist 😭

[quartz lotus]

Me too :(

[quartz lotus]

She doesn't like us anymore

[inland summit]

I think you're right.

[quartz lotus]

[nocturne quail]

With Alliance Clash…you are safe to move to an alliance as long as they haven’t chosen a slot yet? Is this correct?

[frozen olive]

Incorrect.

[nocturne quail]

Thank you…I’m seeing that now

[frozen olive]

You need to be present prior to signup starting. And stay until clash/ res has been completed by your alliance

[civic tundra]

Clash: 6B vs 7B vs 22B alliance might. Great matchmaking...dis a joke??

[frozen olive]

It’s based off infinity. Mines the same way

[civic tundra]

Thats ridiculous 🤯 😵 🤣

[pure salmon]

Don't worry we've been up against 1b players as well for the past couple times with no chance at all 🤣 🤣 🤣

[reef spruce]

Think u mean affinity heh

[frozen olive]

😂😂😂

[civic tundra]

Only those two alliances got sth in common with affinity. It is complete bs matchmaking 🧐

[frozen olive]

Im against an alliance with 7b that’s in legend.

You should make a nap so you get points

[pure salmon]

Nap seems a bit sketchy for us this week lol but the whole randomness and size is weird but might be our rank 😅

[reef spruce]

Check what the league is for all 3, on the alliance info page

Because it goes off time slot first, and then affinity. So I’ve seen matchups with alliances in different affinities because of the time slot.

[civic tundra]

Yeah all three same language but if matchmaking is based on language then it is even more ridiculous than i thought.. makes completely no sense !

[frozen olive]

I don’t think she said language

[civic tundra]

Ooops 🤣 🤣 yeah its league not language, my mistake :)

[frozen olive]

😆

[civic tundra]

Well, 6B and 7B are elite1 and 22B is veteran2 so something isnt right

[cyan fern]

There's also a possibility that they don't get many actually showing up for events.

[frozen olive]

They could be an alliance they moved to a new state and started over.

Working their way back to the top

[reef spruce]

Yeah that does happen if there aren’t enough alliances signed up for that time slot in the same league.

[silent raft]

Can I confirm something, because I can’t seem to find it, someone is saying they can see our spawn points right now. Is that true?

[reef spruce]

I’m not sure what you mean by spawn points.

[silent raft]

Where we start

[reef spruce]

You can see how long you’ve been playing, if that’s what you’re asking.

[silent raft]

No, my opponent is saying that they can see where our starting points are, Eg top left corner, on the clash map right now

[reef spruce]

Oh. Yeah check the pinned messages.

[silent raft]

Thanks! I just saw that! Thank you!

It’s probably also the language she’s telling me she can see it on a map

[quartz lotus]

Heyyyyyy you're in 169. We are facing 1PC in Clash. Do you happen to know what lvl lair their current top 3 can run? I say current because by the looks of things they aren't permanent, not all 3.

[pure salmon]

Based on who their bigs are probably really big lairs. They just moved to that alliance after my farm left for a bit😂 but that's everyones permanent home I'm pretty sure

[quartz lotus]

Hmmmm. So I guess Rental is a troll. Define really big because it is looking like they just have a lot of troops

[pure salmon]

We all come together during wasteland so don't often see true lair sizes but lady and rok defend during valiant alot.

[quartz lotus]

Hmmmmm. Thanks for the info. I'll let you know how it goes if you want, that is if they don't

[round thistle]

@reef spruce @mint siren @manic brook @tulip valve @carmine nest is there a timeframe on when you have to had joined the the alliance before you can participate in Alliance Clash?

[carmine nest]

You don’t need to tag mods for your questions.

[manic brook]

All the information you’re looking for is also located in the Sign Up and Match information in-game.

[round thistle]

Thanks for the answer Kato!

[pure salmon]

Yall should have fun with them there are some pretty fun players in there

[prime rivet]

In 2 words, don’t leave alliance from Wednesday restart (European time) of the day through Friday until after the clash is over.

[frozen olive]

Sign up for me starts Tuesday at reset.

[prime rivet]

I got European time. Sorry, should have pointed it out. Thank you 😊

[civic tundra]

That is totally unfair matching then and in that case what grades are for? When we end up with alliance of a higher grade and 'only' 15B alliance might more..

[frozen olive]

I don’t think the game looks at might.

[pure salmon]

Matches aren't always fair. Especially going off affinity there is so much room for variety. We are up against 1b players and we aren't getting a nap but got a nap with the 3rd it happens occasionally well seems our last 3 clashes have been insane

I prefer res war those are more fair

[frozen olive]

I’ve been waiting for that day lol

[reef spruce]

Might isn’t a factor. But if there is no one to match you with, what would you want to happen? They could move your alliance to a different time. Or cancel it. That’s about it.

[inland summit]

I've had a res war that our alliance had about a quarter of the might of our opponent. We still won because they only 1 person show up. Might isn't everything.

[civic tundra]

Id say total signup slots limited not to have that problem. First come first served. There is no ideal solution but surely 6B vs 22B isnt fun at all, makes no sense. Please also dont say that might isnt a factor as it wouldnt matter. It is an indication..

[pure salmon]

This is very true. Might isn't always everything. I mean yes some can back up their might don't get me wrong but theirs ways to get them

[quartz lotus]

An indication that they have a lot of troops? Or an indication that they have maxed out gear? Or an indication that it is half and half. Might is only an indication of 1 of 2 things, they have spent a lot of time on the game or they have spent a lot of money on the game.

[livid star]

Is there a way to lower core affinity? We rotate time slots bi-weekly. For the past three months we have been the underdog in matchups. Sometimes by a huge margins. It’s to the point where I don’t even want to sign us up anymore. We have one player with a hq37 that never ever ever competes in events. Is he messing with our algorithm for matchups? Next highest active hq is 32. Most are 29 and below. So when we are matched with hqs above 33 we can’t compete. They just slaughter us. Minimal success with fancy tactics and nap agreements. Could use some insight from you more seasoned players.

[pure salmon]

cough cough get your points and lose cough cough

[carmine nest]

This is almost us, but I try to use it as a chance for us to have fun. We make a deal where we can, almost always with a FFA at the end, chat with the opponents, kill some troops (mostly ours), cuddle and burn each other at the end (or at the beginning when I was away making dinner this time lol), and go home having learned a little of anything 🤣

[frozen olive]

Yes. Lose all of them lol

[reef spruce]

No, the 37 is not impacting you. You just have to lose to lower your affinity

[civic tundra]

You not gonna tell me that 6B alliance vs 22B is a fair marching and I hope ur aware that 22B is surely bunch of rather extra strong players rather than similar to 6B alliance' players

[frozen olive]

Your still thinking it’s based off might which it’s not. Based off..Affinity and time.

[cyan fern]

My alliance is above 20b, we have lost to smaller alliances before. Also we sometimes only have 10 people show up. Make a deal for a NAP so you can get points and hope you get a more even matchup next time. It does suck, but see if you can just have fun.

[quartz lotus]

They don't base it off of might. It has never been based off of might so the point you're arguing is of little importance. And the algorithm will never be completely fair, it would be pretty much impossible to write an algorithm to make it fair. There are way to many things that would have to be checked to make the match up 'fair'. And even if they did write 20 pages of code to make a 'fair' algorithm there would still be ways to subvert the algorithm.

[inland summit]

They want you to fight. They want you to feel the need keep growing and spending money.

[slim void]

This was my first event like this. If I don't spend the water can I save it for the next event?

[carmine nest]

Yes, water carries over 👍
Just make sure you claim the phase rewards right away.

[unique depot]

does it clarify anywhere when in the match the Doom Forts (or other buildings which are shielded initially) become available... like what specifically triggers it, such as towers being occupied or if it a straight timer?

[cyan fern]

If I remember correctly it's 5 minutes after the start of the match

[carmine nest]

Yes, that is right.

[manic brook]

Isn’t it 15 mins?
Like at the 45 min mark, Doom, Military & Hospital open up.

[cyan fern]

It's weird because of the arrival phase

I wasn't counting that in my calculations

[carmine nest]

No, that is 5 mins after the battle starts

[manic brook]

Yup. That’s why I just time it to whatever is on the countdown at the bottom of the screen - which is the 45min mark. 🤔

[carmine nest]

Which is 5 minutes after the battle starts.

[manic brook]

Yes. Okay 5 mins after the battle starts.

But that would mean you need to know how long the battle has been going on for … so if you at least refer to the countdown you’ll have a more accurate timer.

[cyan fern]

I've used both

[inland summit]

Mod fight!!

[cyan fern]

No...

[limpid pecan]

State #1- RIP alliance. Layon, The alliance’s big, doesn’t like to lose so he hits safe and won’t listen to his officers. Just an fyi

[thin niche]

Please don’t argue with people who know this game better than you do

Oh nooooo my cool name is gone because I left

[tulip valve]

Ur name is a greeting at my place

[thin niche]

My name is a character from the greatest children’s cartoon of all time

[manic brook]

Sailor moon? 👀 there’s no character in there my that name though 🤔

[thin niche]

Sailor moon
ATLA

[cyan fern]

Both are good for way different reasons

[sonic lagoon]

Levina- can you get her from anywhere beside res war and alliance clash?

[pure salmon]

Alliance conquest

[sonic lagoon]

Thanks

[tulip valve]

Also the same event as ironclaw.

Divination

[pure salmon]

Yeah i didn't say that one cause I couldn't remember it's name🤣

[tulip valve]

Took me a minute… was thinking wtf is the card flippin one? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[pure salmon]

Yeah I was gonna say card flip but thought I would confuse people more🤣

[coarse mica]

Has anyone noticed that sometimes you won't flash red when being marched on? Can I share a ss here?

All the sudden you lose might and don't even know how or why unless checking battle logs

[pure salmon]

Yes usually it cause they speedup super fast and no reaction no red just boom. Also im numb to the red now

[coarse mica]

Nope. No red. I was watching this one

[pure salmon]

Also if you aren't leader you won't see red

[coarse mica]

100?

[pure salmon]

That's why we have a call out system

[coarse mica]

Then maybe I just missed that leader part...

[pure salmon]

Yeah i think it's cause you aren't leader i only see if im leading which isn't often im tiny 😂

[coarse mica]

Aight den. I stand corrected

[carmine nest]

Yeah, unfortunately Cherry is right. It is annoying and the suggestion to change it has been passed on, but so far ignored. Lol

[reef spruce]

I see red when I’m not leading. I just can’t see who is coming.

[pure salmon]

You get red? I get nothing unless it's a rally

[reef spruce]

Oh the screen flashing red. I was just looking at the lines.

[pure salmon]

Even then it's just a vibration

[reef spruce]

Turned that off

[pure salmon]

🤣 🤣 🤣

[reef spruce]

I don’t like flashing screens anyway I turn them off

[pure salmon]

I have the vibration so when im multi tasking I know

[cyan fern]

I only see it when I'm lead

[coarse mica]

So, it's mixed? Seems like I used to see flashing even when I wasn't lead

[pure salmon]

Only rallies I get a notification

But normally only leaders

[reef spruce]

Rallies I get a notification

Lead is the only time it flashes

[inland summit]

I can make Azzie see red

[cyan fern]

And a few others as well apparently

[inland summit]

Yes, it's not limited to just Azzie

[harsh quarry]

I have had a flashing red screen before. Whether I’m captain or not. It seems to only happen if the tower isn’t super reinforced. I just open the binoculars and close them again and it stops.
What bugs me, and it hasn’t happened in a couple of weeks, is when my flashing screen continues even after we’ve returned home. Open and close the binoculars then, too.

[unique depot]

Does anyone have a clean screenshot of the res war map (or a link to one)?

[pure salmon]

Check the pins

[unique depot]

i did, the map in pins is not "clean" for res war as it is for clash

[cyan fern]

You will probably have to wait for the next event

[reef spruce]

I mean it still works ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cyan fern]

I can try to snag a clean one Friday

[quartz lotus]

Why do you need a 'clean' one

[unique depot]

its fine, i can snag one next event too and will happily post it. was just hoping maybe someone had it handy. not a big deal.

to doodle on

[quartz lotus]

You can doodle on that one. Just ignore the bases. It gets the same point across

[unique depot]

one could if they like. i prefer not to and have no problem waiting. 🙂

[quartz lotus]

Okay
