💥alliance-clash・res-war

[hot juniper]

Damn that never happens with us! I gotta bribe those on screen pixels a bit better

[pliant remnant]

Used to always think I was cursed. Trucks always went to the other side of the map of me for the longest time lol

[weak prairie]

It also depends on your Alliance we get paired against other alliances their biggest player is like a lvl 33 245mil might and our r5 is a lvl 36 with 550mil might I know it based by might but when your alliance moves states and some stay behind some Alliance can get out played. If that makes sense

[quartz lotus]

It isn't based by might

[robust stream]

What's it based on?

[thick torrent]

it is based on your corp affinity and Alliance grade rating.

[robust stream]

There's gotta be more then, cuz my alliance keep getting matched vs others 5x our size

And it started after we accepted a player with 400mil might

[thick torrent]

even if you keep losing and dropping in alliance grade points, it is still like that?

[robust stream]

Yes, we've lost all matches since he joined cuz all alliances got players around his size

My alliance:

Others:

[thick torrent]

that's unfortunate. maybe other alliances with similar grade signed up for your time slot tend to be much bigger in size over all. maybe try another time slot?

[robust stream]

We usually do the first after reset, last one it was in the morning EST time and we r gonna try the last time slot now. But it's been this way for clash and reservoir so far 😂

[thick torrent]

what's your affinity and grading? and what's your total might?

[robust stream]

Pro 1, 650 Affinity and 2.9 billion total might. My leader guessed it's cuz he got T11 unlocked, so maybe it's a factor too?

The other two r 10 and 12 billion

[thick torrent]

it could be. there is no proof or disproof of anything being a factor. everything stated in this channel are educated guesses. based on experience, we have seen alliances being matched with other alliances with huge difference in total might, or with different top troop tiers (T12 vs T11, for example), and with completely different individual might distributions (evenly distributed without a big player, vs. a single big player + a bunch of farm-level players). so, the best guess is that these factors are unrelated. but no one knows for sure.

[robust stream]

I see...We only have 3 players with t9 unlocked so far, not counting that guy. Before he joined, we'd sometimes get matched with alliances a bit stronger or weaker, but never such a big difference.

[thick torrent]

I would suggest try a different time slot. I know some alliances got better/worse matchups after they switch time slot. Other than this, there is probably not much you can control, unless they change matchmaking algorithm (in which case we probably won't be notified).

[robust stream]

I wish they'd be more transparent about what affects it or not tho, it isn't like players r allowed to fight if they joined after sign up anyways 🥴 Ty! We will keep trying

[thick torrent]

yeah. sorry, I couldn't help more. All I can say is good luck next time!

[quartz crater]

Please change alliance clash or introduce a turn based game where players can move a limited amount of tiles each turn . This will increase participation . Currently few strong players or even a single big account can win by themselves .

Big spender sanctuaries are essentially warp capable star ships deploying drop pod speed troopers

Makes no sense at all !

[cyan fern]

We usually try to arrange a deal where we get a Fortress and 2 towers. This way we can get points regardless. See if a deal can be worked out with the team you're against. Eventually the bigger teams will rank out of the competition for you.

I use this event to test my troops since you don't lose anything when you get hit.

[pliant remnant]

I would also suggest a new time slot to try. The first and last time slot, in my opinion, are the most commonly picked slots. So trying the others might improve your match up.

[fierce nebula]

Does occupying a tower with a smaller march score equal points as another player occupying with a larger march?

[carmine nest]

Occupying points for Res War and Alliance Clash is the same with a single troop or a full march.

[fierce nebula]

Thank you

[thick torrent]

Start location is based on where your alliance is shown below.

[cyan fern]

Is this the actual start location?

[thick torrent]

yes, start location is based on where your alliance is shown here

[pliant remnant]

Works 100% of the time?

[thick torrent]

yes

same for res war. i will post it when i can get a screenshot

[pliant remnant]

That means in 2 weeks when the game hates me and decides to quit following this rule. You will be the first to know lol.

Thanks for the info. Will help determine things in the future.

[thick torrent]

yup. theory is always correct until proven wrong, so definitely let me know if you see otherwise. 👍

[pliant remnant]

Oh we will test it for sure. Just wish we did both in a week and not just one.

[thick torrent]

For reservoir war, your starting position is based on where your alliance is shown below

[cyan fern]

You are amazing! Thanks!

[frigid epoch]

Unfortunately even if they can't join before sign up, that doesn't stop people from joining before sign up and sticking around for clash. I've seen that happen.

[harsh quarry]

Yes,, but their might and stats are included in the matchmaking.

[frigid epoch]

Yes, but that doesn't mean them being more transparent about how they pair people will affect everything. I mean I was part of an alliance that stripped their gear and everything before RW, really didn't help with the pairings imo. We still got some pretty monstrous alliances and most of them said they don't strip their gear because they don't see a point. So from my experience, it seriously is based on corp infinity, rank and time slot then everything is randomized and you either luck out or you don't.

I personally feel like some of the updates they give us is just to satisfy people asking for it but it really doesn't matter in the match making process. Makes us think they are trying to listen to us while in reality it does nothing.

[harsh quarry]

You mean like the trucks are SUPPOSED to be randomize?
I guess they are since the bottom in our clash today would have gotten two IF the other clans hadn’t been fighting over one of the towers, and the hour was up when one finally went another way.
I think top right got four, top left got three. I could be wrong though. But bottom got absolutely NO trucks.

[frigid epoch]

Pretty much. It all depends on how you look at things. People tend to take it as you have 1 out of 2 or one out of 3 chances that the trucks are going your way so that means at least 1/2 or 1/3 of the time it's going to come your way when in reality it's very different. Flip a coin 20 times and I bet you don't get 10 heads and 10 tails. Yes you should get some tails and some heads, but I've been part of trials like that when not once did it land on heads or not once did it land on tails. The higher the amount of times you flip the coin, the most likely you'll have some head and some tails, but lower the amount of times you do it and in actuality the chance of having absolutely no heads or no tails is more likely. Maybe the fix is to release trucks more often but I'm sure people would still complain that it favored one side.

[harsh quarry]

They would cuz it does, at least Ime. In clash top right gets way more trucks than either of the other fortresses.
Res it’s a little more even, but that’s not saying much since, before we merged, we lost more than we won by a very long measure!

[frigid epoch]

See I've never seen it that way. Week from week it's changed for me. Does one side get them more often? Yes. But again don't expect it to be an even amount because probability is it won't just like when flipping a coin it won't be even.

[polar pilot]

Maybe take away part of the randomness, like make the trucks always go to dooms in order, first truck to doom 1, second to doom 2, and so on. But keep the route random

[frigid epoch]

That's possible too. Not sure the programming side of it all really.

Personally I like it the way it is. I'd rather have to fight to keep/take the buildings than just sit there and twiddle my fingers for a hour and the trucks make it purposeful. At least you can pretty much assume that if your building has a truck coming for it, you're gonna be attacked compared to just fighting over random buildings for points.

[pure salmon]

This is true and one reason I like doom 2 towers naps(well unless someone gets high and mighty and breaks nap).

[frigid epoch]

Best NAPs out there in my opinion. Doom and 2 towers for the entire game, the rest is FFA. Get someone that's not a big fighter but has a high rally capacity and then don't send full marches and a bunch of people can fit in there so everyone can get points. The one good thing about RW and AC is they don't follow alliance tech so you can have many people as you want in the building/rallies until your rally size is filled.

Me personally, I don't care if I get all my points or not, I'd rather fight so if that means I didn't get all my points, then at least I had fun which is what this game is supposed to be about. In my opinion, too many people get too focused on being the strongest and getting free rewards so they can be better. I'd rather just play the game and have fun.

[pliant remnant]

30 people max per spot.

[frigid epoch]

Okay so Doom and 2 tower Nap allows 90 people. I have yet to come across any res or AC that has an opponent with 90 people.

[pliant remnant]

My last res war had over 100 people in it

[frigid epoch]

From the same alliance?

Because 100 is max alliance size.

Just sayin

[pliant remnant]

No two alliances but still. I regularly have 45 to 60 people

Just from my own alliance

[frigid epoch]

Okay and 90 people from the same alliance can fit in 3 different buildings.

[pliant remnant]

If we NAP. I opt them to send a single unit so we can max the 30 out

Plus with Nuka ore, I don't see too many issues about getting points. We tend to free for all at the end. Even most of our bigger plays only fighter bigger players and ignore the little ones. It's no fun beating on someone who can't fight back.

There is not much they can do to balance out match making. When new states open, people show up or move states which resets the rankings. It's constantly changing the leaderboards at the lower end. I think until we hit legend, we literally didnt fought an alliance who really could fight back.

With that said, once we finally moved up to where we should be fighting, we have had good matches. Good strategy is also a place to start as well. I dont even care about towers anymore. the point gain is small. Military, hospitals and doom are priorities. If we get extra, we get extra.

[frigid epoch]

Add logistics to that.

[pliant remnant]

Logistics is worth a tower amount of points. We usually don't teleport so we don't care about the limited teleports. We move once into position and that's where we stay.

[frigid epoch]

That works if you get an opponent that can't knock you from that spot or you have NAP on HQ's

[pliant remnant]

That is all up to the alliance got fight. Generally I wait to see if they message me. If they do, I'll make sure we uphold the NAP. A few times we even made sure there was more to give.

Gotta roll with the punches and bide the time for these events. Yeah a wallet will win anyway but eventually you will find a spot and do well in it.

Hell, I usually post our alliance discord in the chats during them and they join our discord for the out of game stuff too. Found a few new friends and recruits that way.

[frigid epoch]

Good way to do it. I pretty much things are well matched in this but you aren't going to make everyone happy.

[pliant remnant]

Of course not. There is always a winner and a guy who prepares to win the next one. Just the way it is.

[pure salmon]

I definitely agree with that. We had our first nap break today with that nap they were winning anyways glad it doesn't happen often😂

[pure salmon]

In safe buildings send 1 troop only it works and everyone can get a spot or 2 alot of people don't even sit in safe buildings if they like fighting

[pliant remnant]

I thankfully have a lot of smaller guys that like that action. They like to jump in and defend and help lose troops or get in rallies. It really translate well into WK and Valiant.

Was really awesome watching them develop into the crazy people they are. Best part is they don't get bummed they lose. They get angry and come back swinging the next time.

If we had a bunch of teams like that, didn't care about the end result, would help with the annoyances a bit.

[frigid epoch]

[pure salmon]

That's very true and is the way my alliance is its so fun.

[pliant remnant]

Plus I'm maniacal. My goal is to get one of my players burnt in Res/Clash at least once lol

[harsh quarry]

One of these times, I’m going to put my hq out there, post in battle chat, and let them go at me. It’s the only way I know of where I can test my wall and not lose anything in the end.
Should have done it today, actually, but got caught up watching the other two fight over tower 7, lol

[pliant remnant]

I just post coordinates in the mud lol. Especially if they look lonely.

[harsh quarry]

I’ll do that too sometimes, rather trade tile hits. I can’t afford to heal all those troops rn.
You didn’t mean WK, lol.

[pliant remnant]

Oh we are hitting each other in state for fun right now. Nothing serious but you know, having a good time

[frozen olive]

Killing units so you can’t defend!

[summer coral]

Anyone has a copy of clash/res war sign up times, US?

[harsh quarry]

Which time zone? There are 7 in North America!

[summer coral]

Good question....mountain time?

[harsh quarry]

Sorry, I’m Eastern. Best suggestion is wait till Tuesday and screen shot it since the Res War sign ups are always in local time, which will change this week anyway because of the time change this morning. They will be one hour later.

[summer coral]

Ok 👍🏻

[quartz lotus]

There is 1 an hour after rest and I think every 3 hours after that

[summer coral]

Is there one hour before?

[frozen olive]

I don’t think so.

[summer coral]

Ok 👌🏻 thanks. I shall find out soon ☺️

[quartz lotus]

The last one is 3 hours before

[thick torrent]

no links and advertising here. posting again will get you banned.

already banned 😎

[arctic badger]

Hello everyone, I wanna show my new Ally members how to play res war. I didn't take any screenshots unfortunately ... Does anybody know where I can find some to explain them better what's about res war?

[carmine nest]

If you look at the messages pinned to this channel, there is some good details

[arctic badger]

Perfect thank you!

[past viper]

In reservoir wars, what happens if you enter with injured troops?

I have a few days of healing to do after reinforcing an ally and don't want to use my speedups unless I have to. Thanks in advance.

[thick torrent]

your existing injured troops stay in your regular infirmary. troops injured in res war go to state infirmary instead.

[past viper]

Thanks for the quick response. So, if they stay in the infirmary, I will not have access to them until they are healed. Correct?

I was hoping that it was similar to exiting where injuries outside of res wars do not matter inside. I guess I will need to burn a few speedups.

[thick torrent]

right. they stay in your infirmary until you heal them.

[sinful flame]

Silly question- if you have troops out gathering do they automatically recall once you port into the res war map? Or do you have to recall them before entering the map?

[carmine nest]

They return automatically when you join the event

[sinful flame]

Awesome! Thanks so much for your quick response!

[worthy horizon]

matchmaking this week was terribad like.. i have no idea how you could come up with a match like this levels of bad.

[dapper dune]

It's actually simple, your score and time slot. It's a ladder system, not match by might system.

[urban path]

Hi all, I have a couple of things I am trying to gain some clarity on.

First I would like to know if sending one lower tier troop to a foothold occupied by your alliance would negatively effect the strength of the other million troops stationed in the foothold?
Example: sending 1 T8 rider to a foothold filled with a million T10 troops.
Second, I would like to know if activating Super reinforcement in a foothold would make all the troops regardless of T level have the same strength?

Example: Captain has T11 troops, Reinforcement in the foothold is a mixture of T9-10

[harsh quarry]

I can answer the first part. I send 1 troop all the time, lol. You get the same points whether you have 1 or 300,000 troops.
As for the second question: the only time I send other than riders is if I know it’s not a NAP tower so mu power might be needed.
If super reinforcement is activated you take on the captains stats, although I’m unsure if t9 or lower negatively impact what could happen.
I’ve captained towers, and reinforced them and never had an issue with lack of power from lower troops that I’m aware of.
Super reinforcement does work better though if it’s all the same troop type.

[cyan fern]

I think you'll just lose more of the lower troops. If you have enough higher troops in there it can offset as well. I wish this was a wasteland weekend. I could probably pull a good example from there.

[cyan fern]

This is a similar situation to what you were asking. If the captain is strong enough it should balance out.

[urban path]

thanks for that Screenshot shot, it basically looks to me like a similar percentage of any of those troops on the defenders side took about the same casualties amount

As for the first question, I am not asking about getting occupational points, I am aware that 1 troop would get the same as a full queue.

[cyan fern]

When I saw the t1s I figured it was a good example

[urban path]

I would like to know if that one troop would bring the strength in the foothold down

yes Gerber I agree

And I think it kind of answers both my questions

[cyan fern]

If the lead is strong a lot can get thrown at you even if you have lower level troops

[urban path]

The defender side has equal damage to each troop

All have .0069, or .69%,damage regardless of type or troop level

[cyan fern]

Thanks for doing the math!

[dapper axle]

Zia

Grrrrr

[carmine nest]

Yes?

[distant basin]

How do you activate the new alliance tech feature forced relocation after getting to level 1

[nova turret]

Check the ss i send

It is there where you also can activate swift gatherer or mega march as a example

Did you mean that?

[distant basin]

Yes thanks a lot

[nova turret]

Your welcome 🍻

[hollow thistle]

I prefer Reservoir War to Alliance Clash. A 1 to 1 ratio is so much better than a 2 to 1.

[hot juniper]

I like both only so I can get my hands on the ever needing nanotubes 😂

[glad wyvern]

Double the pleasure, double the fun. Drink your water y’all 😇

[pulsar pond]

It’s possible??? They kill 4 hq 8hq

[thick torrent]

this is not in res war?

[cyan fern]

I'm gonna die in clash this week...

[thick torrent]

live free die hard

[cyan fern]

If I make it out with troops I'm doing something wrong 😂

[keen oar]

Grump timeeee

Why is it that everyone always wants the doom included in a Res war NAP, it completely ruins any close fight by making the fight luck based since whoever gets the most trucks to their doom wins

Logistics base or even Hospital much better options

If towers aren't enough

[cyan fern]

Probably because it's closest to home safe area. Doom and 2 towers gives more than enough to fight over. Won more than once even without trucks heading to our doom

[keen oar]

Yeah you still win the non-close fights I guess

[cyan fern]

It's a totally legit gripe though. And it's frustrating to have a close game only to lose cause of one stupid truck

[thick torrent]

i think it is because if you put one troop in doom fortress, even with your enemies occupying all other buildings, you still have a good chance of getting full points. otherwise, full points is hard

[polar pilot]

We have experienced good results with the last 15m free for all, usually enough time to get points and you can take doom at the end on close fights

[nova turret]

Its fun

[tulip valve]

I like NAP for doom and 2 towers for 30 mins the FFA for last 30 mins, spices things up

Plus your coming out with all your rss and troops. I don’t understand why people don’t go hard in Res & Clash. It’s a battlefield, get a margarita and get in 🔥

[carmine nest]

If I leave Res War or Clash with any troops still alive, it always feels like it was too boring.

[tulip valve]

Agreed, on fire 🔥 who cares, even if you’ve only got cars left. Cavalry charge then bad boys 😂

[cyan fern]

I keep finding the locations where no one attacks...

[manic brook]

Okay… WT-fruitcake kind of glitch just happened?! 😭😭😭 I ported my main to clash, swapped accounts to port my farm… only to switch back to my main…that was back in home state?!?!?! I couldn’t port back 😭

[cyan fern]

That happened to one of my team in nuka

[blissful basalt]

This event sux....the water truck distribution is not even close to equal....my alliance held 9 posts and didn't receive 1 dam truck during our entire time frame.

[lean salmon]

my alliance and my opponent. this is some fucking joke?

[bold fractal]

Unfortunately thats how res war and alliance clash works they will put you against people with the same affinity even if they seem unfsir

[quartz lotus]

It looks like the alliance just moved there.

[uneven kayak]

Did you win? Lmao

[lean salmon]

Clashdown in 9 hours

[uneven kayak]

You got this

[lean salmon]

he alone has more than my alliance🤣🤣

my adventure with this game has just ended

[uneven kayak]

He left 60?! Wow

It happens. When groups leave states they start new or newish and their affinity score is low. So they get matched with other low affinity score teams. One day it will be you on the other side of this discussion. I wouldn’t let it deter you

[quartz lotus]

Don't quit because an alliance moved states and you happened to be the unlucky ones that got matched with them.

[signal solstice]

The algorithm that is being used for Alliance Clash doesn’t work! How can this matchup be anything but ridiculous????

[cyan fern]

If you read up earlier it's probably because they're a newly created alliance - like just switched states etc. Shouldn't be long before they move up to a new rank and you'll never see them again

[signal solstice]

It’s been like this for weeks. It’s terrible

[cyan fern]

Did it start about the time they mentioned the immigration changes?

[signal solstice]

I think this is the 4th week it’s happened

Though it has been bad before that. We only had about 3 weeks with similar sized alliances.

[worn sand]

Just a heads up. FVN from state 357. Broke NAP from the start. Their word cannot be relied upon. They hade 50 players and thought they could take everything. But while they have large HQs they are pretty weak. So our 21 and the other alliance’s 25 smacked them around a bit. Then they whined in battle chat at the end.

[maiden jewel]

Yep, don’t like those alliances and/or people that don’t keep their word. Honour means nothing to some people and that’s sad.
They didn’t win the event and most that got in the green got burned, so accomplished nothing 😗

[quartz lotus]

I have yet to meet an alliance like this but when I do I hope they are cocky enough to think they can win so I can absolutely crush them. I want them to underestimate me because of my hq.

[maiden jewel]

Sadly some are hypocrites, say one thing and don’t keep their word if they have the advantage. No morals at all, just selfish opportunists

[worn sand]

Alex, you and your group were awesome.

[maiden jewel]

Thanks Petunia, so were you guys

[worn sand]

We look forward to meeting again.

[maiden jewel]

Same, hopefully with our backstabbing friends again and hopefully this time we will have our 2 top players with the t11s online and leave nothing for them on the map as they don’t deserve any points after their action.
But I feel sorry as probably most of them weren’t even aware of, or supporting the actions of some of their teammates

[signal solstice]

I’m getting PTSD for these horrible matchups. Most don’t have any empathy and don’t understand we can’t fight them.

I had started to enjoy the fighting, now we massive alliances that take over the whole map and we can’t do anything about it.

[quartz lotus]

What were the stats of their strongest member?

Or members

[signal solstice]

Please fix this stupid game! Make matchups more fair!

We couldn’t even get a single building because the massive alliances we were up against took them all and wouldn’t give us any. MAKE IT FAIR!

[wild karma]

Personally I’d rather have no naps and fight. With 3 states having 3 buildings don’t make a lot of buildings to fight over. And 1 group always get screwed over water trucks too it seems. I’d rather fight and lose than have a nap. But that of course is my opinion and my alliance would tell me to shut up and go back to my corner 😂😂

[polar pilot]

I prefer the 2 tower deal, even on AC. More buildings left to fight for.

[signal solstice]

It doesn’t work when a 2 billion might alliance is up against a 13 billion and 24 billion might alliance.

You can’t fight against them

[gaunt scroll]

It’s especially hard when you start calling the biggest alliance’s diplo names because they deny your request of 5 buildings the day before, then log on and start hurling insults when no one immediately acknowledges your demand they give your 8 members that showed up 4 buildings. We just moved in this shell, we weren’t thrilled about the boring match either. We like to fight and had zero opportunities to attack or get kills. The other team was given 3 buildings, points and an opportunity to hit us for fun. We don’t NAP but we aren’t heartless when dealing with a much weaker opponent 🤷‍♀️ hope you get a better match next time. Us too!

[young coyote]

Maybe they’d be nicer if you weren’t so rude to them….just personal thoughts thinking out loud here

[rare mirage]

@signal solstice this can be a teaching moment.

1st off, I have never encountered anyone asking for 5 towers buildings. To me the standard seems to be 2 closest towers and your doom. Knowing that we have anywhere from 50 to 60 players on for reswar, in the past, we would still only ask for 2 buildings and a doom, if we took a nap at all.

2nd, If you go into every NAP negotiation like you came in to ours, I can see how no one has cut you any slack. I think after the 4th "ahole" accusation, we shook our heads and laughed. Help the opponent, help you. You ARE the one asking for something.

This is not the Victim Olympics, you are only victim to your sub par negotiation skills and your inflated sense of self and entitlement. As previously stated this is a war game. you are entitled to nothing, big or small. None of us are. But keep a level head and go into a negotiation ready to negotiate.

So chill with the slander. As a top 25 team in might, we are flexible and we are kind, as we have players of different might ranges on our team. We worked with the other team. But check your attitude next time. Before you send, ask yourself if your words TRULY are helping your team as a whole. Good luck.

[quartz lotus]

Sounds like they need a new negotiator

[gaunt scroll]

If you are out-matched, out-numbered and lacking in skill, diplomacy is key 🔑 it’s all you’ve got to fall back on. You catch more flies 🪰 with honey than vinegar

[harsh quarry]

I’m playing catch up, so this may have already been said. Try a different time slot.
Res war/clash can be fun with the right mindset. It’s your affinity (points your alliance has earned for the event overall) and your time slot that determine your potential, and eventual, opponents. So, if your current time slot has too many alliances that are a lot bigger, or just plain won’t cooperate, try an hour earlier or later. That might help.
That said, I prefer to actually participate, not sit in NAP buildings like a bump on a log. My alliances Res times are when I’m working, so most times I get in, send and forget!

[harsh quarry]

One of my alliances were far and away heavier hitters than our opponents this past week. Our R5 reached out and gave them doom and 3 towers to try and make things more enjoyable for all. We still won, but I’m sure the other teams appreciated the fact we did do what we could to help them.
You’re right though: attitude is everything! If you go into negotiations expecting to get nothing, that’s exactly what you’ll get. And slander has absolutely no place in negotiations at all! If this were the real world they’d be taken to court over it!

[signal solstice]

When did I slander them exactly? I never made demands, I asked. The buildings we got, 2 of them, were immediately taken. They didn’t play with honour, they were bullies.

[thick torrent]

no posting of private conversation. #📚sanctuary-rules

[signal solstice]

I’m happy to send people the emails I sent ASKING for a deal. I never made ANY demands.

[thick torrent]

DM, but do not post publicly please. Thank you.

[signal solstice]

Though we wouldn’t have this problem if the devs fixed the abhorrent match ups!

The email I wrote to both leaders of the alliances we “matched” with.
“Hello, we have been matched for Alliance Clash.

Are we able to make a deal please? Since we are so much smaller than you guys, could we please have 5 buildings until the last 20 minutes?

We don’t want to win, we are just wanting points to get Levina frags. We actually need to lose because of the ridiculous match ups like this one.

I hope you can see your way to helping us.

Laney”

[cyan fern]

5 buildings is a bit much to ask for when 3 alliances are battling. Common NAP is closest Doom and 2 towers. Since there's a nap on them you only need to send 1 troop to each to get points. Why would someone agree to not fighting over that many buildings?

[thick torrent]

yeah usually we would not accept 5 building NAP request either. for smaller alliances, Fort with two towers should usually be sufficient to reach full points for everyone.

[cyan fern]

That's our go to start in general. This way everybody gets points. Our last clash one group demanded an only 30m NAP then full FFA. We agreed, they started by taking one of our agreed upon NAP towers and had the nerve to call is whiny because we had 4 towers already at that point.

[thick torrent]

we are at a point where matched opponents are mostly opponents from the past, and we know each other very well. so misunderstanding or mistakes were usually minimized..

[cyan fern]

We usually resolve them pretty quickly in general. Never had a full on NAP break at least. It does pay to be nice.

[signal solstice]

My thinking is there are 18 buildings, 5 each, 3 to fight over. Everyone gets points. To me that’s logical.

[cyan fern]

The problem is none of the larger alliances aren't going to agree to that. They want a little bit of a fight and only 3 buildings to fight over changes the game from strategy to luck. Being the smallest in a battle like that means you might just have to settle for the scraps offered. Asking for too much will keep anyone from taking you seriously.

[frozen olive]

Everyone gets points if you nap 3 buildings and send 1 troop for each alliance member. So there’s room

[quartz lotus]

Yeah most we face is doom and 2 towers for NAP. That leaves half the map to fight over. Which is acceptable in most cases. He have face an alliance that only wanted doom and 1 tower in nap.
5 buildings in Nap would get accepted by almost nobody and even if they did they would never accept a nap like that again because it leaves the winner up to luck of who gets the trucks.

[harsh quarry]

Did they offer a counter offer?

[gaunt scroll]

She was told that we don’t usually NAP, but once everyone arrived to follow up in battle chat and we would discuss further possibilities of doom and more. At that point she called the diplo an “ahole” and the conversation ended. When she arrived first thing in battle chat the insults started before we even spoke. The other team was granted quarter, doom plus 2 and opportunity to hit us at will without retaliation for the last 5-10 minutes for fun. Her team was given no quarter.

[cyan fern]

So basically the perfect example of how not to ask for a NAP

[gaunt scroll]

Pretty much. We weren’t trying to be jerks, we just don’t usually NAP, we like to fight. Win or lose. That being said, we were very much aware of the might difference from moving to a new shell and were internally discussing how to best handle it. If memory serves me, she had 8 players of her 38 alliance members show up, the other team had almost 30 and we had 52.

[signal solstice]

I asked for 4 buildings, then the 2 we had were taken, all I said was there was no point us playing. Funny you afforded Dpt 3 buildings and they were the ones who took ours.

Your leader fat bastards said this “We rarely lose and barely nap. This matchup is terrible. It doesnt even make sense. Ill get back to you though. We will have to work something out with your alliance.”

My answer “Thank you! I appreciate it. Again, we don’t want to win.”

His answer “Only thing I can think of is we moved states and took over a weak tech tree. Our opponents have been very unfair. I find no pleasure in wiping the board. However my team doesn’t always agree with me but I will honor 1 doom and 2 accompanying towers.”

My answer “I appreciate the offer, but 3 buildings won’t gain the necessary points. I swear I am getting PTSD from the power imbalance we have been dealing with.”

His answer “This really could be the worst matchup”

“To the point it doesnt even make sense”

My answer “We have been having this bad a matchup for weeks now. I don’t have a clue how they figure it out.”

His answer “Me either”
My answer “A compromise? Could we please have 4 buildings?” My answer “I haven’t heard back from the other leader”
“Reach out to apollo. I may or may not be on.”
My answer “Ok, thanks [#07]”

[cyan fern]

3 buildings will give you enough points if each of your players put troops in them. And if those are nap then maybe try to hold a 4th one.

The point is almost 99% of the teams you match with will not agree to that imbalanced a NAP. You basically asked them to fight it out amongst themselves and leave you alone. It's gonna suck for a bit, but eventually you should have better match-ups. I think there's a lot of alliances moving around which is resetting rankings.

[signal solstice]

We split the board when we are the bigger alliance. We just quietly wanted to make points. We don’t demand, we are for fairness. We can’t fight these alliances. We don’t have enough people or troops. We ask for understanding for the terrible matchups. Occasionally we get an alliance that understands, mostly we have to give in to their demands, and they are demands, they don’t ask. They don’t care, they want all the buildings and to hell with anyone else. It’s demoralising. We like to fight, but when just 1 sanctuary of your opponents can wipe your entire alliance, it sucks the fun out of it. I’ve let my alliance know I will no longer be participating in Alliance Clash or Reservoir War, I don’t see the point in waking up at 3am anymore to have hope of a fun time dashed. I’ve also asked for someone else to do the negotiations, since someone said I was bad at them. Hopefully one day PNS will fix the game and make it fair and it will be worth me waking up at 3am again. As for now. Hell no!

[reef spruce]

You ask for too much and now you complain. You don’t need to split the map to get all your points. You are capped for reward pts anyway. So splitting takes the fun out of it for others and then you just have to rely on luck, hoping trucks come to you. I’m not that big but what’s fun for me is knocking people out of buildings. Sitting and watching trucks is not fun. Some people DO want to win and your method prevents that. 3 buildings is more than enough. 1 troop from each person. Simple.

[muted dune]

Even if odds are against you, do folks forget these 2 events are also good times to practice strategy? Scout others, practice super rallies and test yourselves? Set a NAP of standard doom and 2 towers and ensure enough space for everyone in your alliance with smaller marches and if you've got no chance to win, you can still have some fun. We also like to set a date and smash each other at the last few minutes around the reservoir or a certain building. Good time to release any frustrations😂

[cyan fern]

I don't get the waking up at 3am thing. If so few people are showing up anyway maybe find a better time?

[frozen olive]

Yeah….so many other times….

[gaunt scroll]

My favorite part is setting up all out war - meet in the middle and go sanc vs sanc for the last 5 minutes. Good times. A little blood on the Sakura skins helps the cherry blossoms 🌸 bloom

[muted dune]

I still prefer a NAP to ensure some points for all, but last few minutes free for all mayhem not bad at all. It can be a lot of fun! I enjoy watching everyone mad dash hit each other regardless of size😂

[gaunt scroll]

Exactly. It’s a game, supposed to be fun. You have absolutely nothing to lose

[carmine nest]

Yeah, a Clash or Reservoir match where I have troops left at the end is pretty boring. I do like to ensure that most players have a chance to get rewards (3 building NAP for 30-40 minutes covers anyone who shows up on time), but I expect to be zerod and on fire at the end.

[muted dune]

If meat shields don't get nerfed, it's an awesome time to see how much damage you can take before coming home empty. I get a chuckle watching the screen flash with might+ returning to home map.

[gaunt scroll]

I was just going to say that. If I’m not rolling out t1 trikes by the end, I didn’t give it my all

You have nothing to lose in this event, have fun with it

[carmine nest]

Exactly. If I’m completely outmatched, I wont bother healing along the way, but the more chances to test things out and play the better

[gaunt scroll]

We’ve shown up to 2b might players and had a blast getting our butts kicked just joking around and getting to know people in battle chat (best addition to the game yet) it’s fun meeting people and a great way to recruit and make future Allies

[carmine nest]

I’ve had matches where I’m on fire before the first water route has found a doom. I’ve had others where not a single rider was harmed.
Give me the first one any day.

[gaunt scroll]

👆🏼

[muted dune]

One of the best water wars i had was before the current 3 day rules. Had to visit a small alliance and run rallies after a teammate accidentally hit one of their hqs and broke NAP. Stayed on for 36 hours to join them when they shared they were always having deals broken. Great small Japanese alliance and while we still lost, we ran around the map rallying everything and having a good time. They had a blast and every gem spent was well worth the giggles we all had, strategizing hits, rallies and truck chases. Even knowing loss was certain they opted to keep it fun and just go balls to the walls anyways. 👏👏 🔥

[clear hemlock]

So just a thought and we do it no matter the matchup. We offer a doom and two towers safe from attacks that players can get points. Rest is fair game to all. >>> Next is can anyone tell me if matchups are by overall alliance might or does the HQ sizes effect it?

[muted dune]

Only affinity and time slot.

[clear hemlock]

Affinity?

[muted dune]

You could be overall alliance might 2 billion vs 20 billion.. it's just affinity.. the ranking of each alliance and time slot chosen.

[clear hemlock]

Wow so it’s completely random? That’s insane

[carmine nest]

My favourite Alliance Clash was one of the first matches we had. We were evenly matched with 1 of the other Alliances, and we had a super tiny new alliance as our third. Had a standard Doom and 2 tower NAP. We were dominating the points and the other team decided to try and take advantage of the little guys and took their protected buildings.
It was worth burning every healing speedup I had to make sure they regretted that decision and even gave the little guys more of our buildings to help them out.

[muted dune]

Each win or loss nets you points up/ down. If your alliance is consistently losing, then trial new time slots.

[clear hemlock]

Thanks

Hoff sends a virtual high five to handleman

[muted dune]

Also, we all lose this event at one time or another. Everyone gets outmatched, outplayed at some point. 🤷‍♀️ Whomever negotiates can only try for an acceptable NAP to ensure minimum points for everyone joining and then you just have fun and work together. We've been matched with stronger looking alliances but they depended on a heavy hitter or two to do all the work while we worked in tandem with each other and hit them in waves, which gave us the W. Strategy and effort can really turn things around for an alliance.

[cyan fern]

We usually shoot for a 3 building nap so our smaller players can get points and then us bigger players fight for the rest. It's a ton of fun to see just how well I can withstand some hits

[broken rain]

We have ours send 100 troops to safe towers and doom. We like to fight over the rest.

[reef spruce]

Yeah. We have also beat alliances that had one player bigger than us but everyone only has 5 marches so they can only do so much. Plus, being willing to lose troops to kill theirs helps. You get everything back. No reason not to.

[cyan fern]

Any clash/war I have troops left makes me feel like I didn't play hard enough.

[reef spruce]

I don’t always need to lose a lot. Sometimes I do. But I have to be smart about it because I don’t have that many.

[rugged gorge]

Can someone answer a question for me? The whole “Bringing in a ringer” thing was supposedly changed by devs. Following our matchup being posted, our opponent added a nearly billion might player. This player is ineligible, correct?

[thick torrent]

he should be ineligible if he joined after the signup day

[glossy root]

They took their gear off most likely

Then put it back on later

Nevermind

Reread

[rugged gorge]

They weren’t even listed as a member. And if removing gear works prior to matchups the damn game is unplayable

[glossy root]

If they join day of signup, they’re ineligible

Removing gear used to work. They fixed it

You used to be able to raid in res war…

[rugged gorge]

So, if we get there and this ringer is present…what’s my recourse?

[thick torrent]

then it is possible he temporarily left the alliance (to transfer rss or something else) after matchup is locked in and when you were looking at their roster.

[rugged gorge]

So nothing in that case? We just get housed based on a loophole?

Not a very good motivating tool yall…

[thick torrent]

it is not a loophole. you can leave alliance and comeback after matchup is locked in

[rugged gorge]

So I should just have all of my players leave, then sign up. Got it

[thick torrent]

then you got nothing on your roster 😂 my point is AFTER matchup is LOCKED IN, you are free to leave and rejoin. that is AFTER signup period ends

[quartz lotus]

I don't think so

I don't think you can leave at all

[rugged gorge]

I understand what you’re saying dude. My point is - the player wasn’t on the roster when the match was set. Now they are. Are they eligible?

[thick torrent]

most likely they are ineligible

[rugged gorge]

Thank you

[thick torrent]

so, if you rejoin alliance after signup ends, you cannot participate at all even if you were in the alliance the whole time before and during the signup?

[rugged gorge]

That’s what we have all been told by pns

[quartz lotus]

Number 5

[thick torrent]

i think it is different from quoting and rejoining the same alliance, but if you haven’t tried to confirm this, i can try to test it this cycle.

[quartz lotus]

It says if you quit the alliance you are ineligible

[thick torrent]

many descriptions are not accurate literally. i think a test would not hurt 😄 well, unless you already tested and can confirm it

[quartz lotus]

Blow can confirm it when their match starts

[thick torrent]

if that guy does not show up, it does not prove anything. i will use my farm that i can control to test

[quartz lotus]

Okay

I'm not sure why you would set a time when your strongest cant participate

[thick torrent]

a lot of situations can happen. last time, our strongest simply overslept 😵

[quartz lotus]

Oof.

[thick torrent]

and some alliances (including mine) have broad international player base and they sign up res war and clash at different slots. so some high might players in the alliance can only participate one of them at their time zone

[rugged gorge]

I will update after the event. If the player is not present, I will find out if they were ineligible

[carmine nest]

No, you cannot leave at all

[carmine nest]

Correct

[carmine nest]

No, they are not.

[carmine nest]

I have confirmed this. 100%

[thick torrent]

ok thanks. then i don’t need to test 🙈

[carmine nest]

I tested it. Not on purpose. But I wont forget it now 😭

[thick torrent]

lol good sacrifice

[glossy root]

We’ve had a player arrive day of res war. I waited to sign up for him, so he could join. It wouldn’t let him join.

We’ve had players leave after signup and come back and they’ve been ineligible

[carmine nest]

The second that registration is open (start of Wednesday), players cannot move alliances for any reason without becoming ineligible for any Res War or Alliance Clash.
Doesn’t matter if the alliance hasnt signed up yet, doesn’t matter if they were there at the start or not.

[harsh quarry]

Correct. Our R5 learned the hard way too! She left to payback some rss and was back only a few mins later. She was surprised when she couldn’t participate.
I like that you have to be a member at reset of sign up day, but having to remain there until after your time slot is over, or not participate, is rather stupid. It’s in their records who was a member and who wasn’t, so why tie us to one spot for up to 75 hours?

[frozen olive]

Once the signup period starts. You can’t leave the alliance. I did this multiple times. Would never let me participate lol

[manic brook]

Until the game glitches on you and forces you out of the map and won’t let you back in! 😤

[carmine nest]

Um.. you are posting a discord invite for this server… like telling people already in a store to come in 😂

[cyan warren]

I haven’t got clue what am doing 😂😂😂just going with it lmao

[carmine nest]

What are you trying to do??

[cyan warren]

Get onto chat with fun alliance the leader told me to get onto discord just moved to star 202

[carmine nest]

Ok. You need to get them to send you the link 👍

[cyan warren]

🙏 thank you so much

[hollow thistle]

Anyone know how to spend only 3 bottles of water. Not sure how I ended up with an odd number in the first place. None of the rewards are of the single digits where they can be used. Wish they could be exchanged for either gas, steel, glory points or diamonds.

[frozen olive]

Wait til next week

[hollow thistle]

Oh! This sounds promising!

[quartz lotus]

It is from losing I think. If you couldn't complete all point lvls. I have an odd number aswell

[unique zenith]

im like 75% sure that it used to be 1 water bottle not 5 per cube enhancement material too. I could very well be wrong though

[rugged gorge]

The player in question was not present during res last night, seems they were in fact ineligible

[cyan fern]

Thanks for the update

[pallid trellis]

Lower the HQ level to 15 or 16 to be able to take part in this, 18 is ridiculous, especially when there's stronger lower level bases that can't contribute

[reef spruce]

18 is not that high lol

[green cedar]

18 isn't that high at all LOL

[maiden jewel]

Sorry for the late reply, McLovin, only just saw your message. Not sure, I forgot, I think was someone with t11s but forgot the power. They had the numbers so they decided to break the deal.

[quartz lotus]

Ahhhh. That always sucks

[maiden jewel]

Yeah, i don’t like that sort of play. Only to make deals and stick to them when it suits you and break them when you feel like it. But even though they had more players than both other alliances put together, they all got in flames by the end of it so not sure what their plan was really as they didn’t get the win

[reef spruce]

Yes?

[latent gale]

Anyone have a copy and paste I can use for my members? @everyone

[cyan fern]

Copy paste for what?

[dapper dune]

You can't at everyone. 90k+ people. What is it that you need?

[latent gale]

The event tab that Were in 😂

Alliance clash. I need a quick and easy description that translates well.

So I can explain it to my members without ripping my face off

Explaining it to Koreans, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and American all at once 😂😂

[dapper dune]

It has a description on the event

[latent gale]

Yeah sounds good but when you’re in a brand new state and trying to explain things it’s not that simple

Thanks for trying to degrade me instead of just responding with “no”

F***in tool

[reef spruce]

Two wrongs don’t make a right lol

Just tell them you’re facing two alliances instead of one. You’re trying to get the most points through occupying buildings. There are water trucks that will give more points if you are in them when they pass by.

[low quail]

I know it's hard to explain something to a new state. But unfortunatelly there's no other info about this events. So you'll probably need to make some on your own.

[jade sentinel]

Grab the most water via capture and defend the most related buildings

[indigo geyser]

If a member hits HQ 18 after matchmaking but before the start of the event, can they participate?

They were in the alliance prior to the start of sign up, just not 18 yet

[carmine nest]

I think one of my alliance members was able to before, but that was a few months ago. Let us know if they are able to make it so we can be sure 👍

[indigo geyser]

Will do

[reef spruce]

Used to be that way.

[indigo geyser]

So yes, they are able to join! 🙌🏼

[carmine nest]

Awesome to hear!

[marsh gate]

I’m only T8s just not interested in sitting in the mud. What do I need to do?

[frozen olive]

Occupy buildings and towers

[acoustic sedge]

Wow rude. She showed you were the description was, you could just as easily show your members how to find it as well. Clash is Res with 3 teams instead of 2, and on top of earning pts from occupation you can gather nuka ore as well. It's not that difficult to explain. And she didn't degrade you you make yourself look like clown.

[latent gale]

You’re a clown for still responding and continuing something you weren’t involved in. My members speak 5 different languages and are not all on discord so I can’t just send a picture and even if I did I would have to translate how to get to that picture. You obviously have never taught the game to someone brand new in another language before, me either. So once again, thanks for assuming you know the situation and trying to degrade someone when you weren’t even asked for input.

[latent gale]

Alliance clash is almost over. I figured it out. Thanks anyway for your unnecessary input. Glad you felt important for 5 minutes. Seriously y’all are toxic and just plain dumb here

In their defense, there was a response there between Akari’s and theirs that was deleted. So they weren’t replying to Akari. It was to a response that is no longer there. They didn’t use the reply function though, so it looks like it was to Akari. But I saw it happen in real time.

[acoustic sedge]

That's still no reason to act like a tool. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[thick torrent]

ok now let’s stay on topic 😎

[quartz lotus]

.........

[hasty flicker]

How do water trucks work?
Held half the map and lost in clash

[quartz lotus]

They are random. There is no set pattern. They are supposed to encourage fighting.

[hasty flicker]

Ok thank you

[brazen slate]

Are they rele random tho? Lol "they are" but we all know they are randomly always on the same few paths. Lol

[quartz lotus]

Idk. It is some algorithm

[hot juniper]

There will be some algorithm to it no doubt that we will never be privy to.

[thick torrent]

you are giving them too much credit. i think it is just pure random 🤣

[manic brook]

It’ll be a randomized algorithm. Based on an undetermined and inconclusive data that will just be presented as thoroughly thought of and calculated. #WorkingAsIntended!

[thick torrent]

i honestly have no idea what you are talking about…

[reef spruce]

She’s being sarcastic

[thick torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/matthew-gray-gubler-oh-ok-really-okay-gif-13499396

[hot juniper]

That random apex algorithm is the one we want 👀

[tulip valve]

can anyone explain. why some alliances they follow water trucks?

[frozen olive]

You get more points.

[cyan fern]

<@&742285797725569104>

[old mountain]

Quick question y’all. How does the system determine who we fight against in res war / alliance clash?

[cyan fern]

It's based on what corporate affinity you're at. So league and affinity number as well as time you sign up for.

[idle cairn]

So we are a new alliance, this is our first res war..how the hell we get paired up with an eliteII team

[reef spruce]

Did you take over a shell? Because your league is the same

You alliance might doesn’t matter. You’re the same league. That’s how.

[idle cairn]

Yes

[reef spruce]

That’s why

[idle cairn]

I thought I always went off might

[reef spruce]

Nope. Never.

You picked the same time slot and you’re the same corps affinity. That’s all they consider. You took over the shell of a stronger alliance that was higher up.

[junior coral]

Yeah. The might thing was never true. The problem was players leaving and joining other alliances. When they got bad matches. Glad that got taken away. Since that. Res has been refreshing 🙂

[violet vessel]

Their are alliances that I feel “ draw the short straw” on their matches!!! My group had a couple that were so mismatched that our biggest players just didn’t go

[reef spruce]

Use it as a time to strategize and try things out

[surreal escarp]

It’s ridiculous that the water truck takes this exact path 4 times in a row. It doesn’t move anywhere on the map. And those are their nap buildings. What is the logic behind this truck?

Most unreasonable algorithm

5th truck.. STILL going north. What even computes this? Lol

[honest trellis]

Quick question can you leave reservoir once it starts

[cyan fern]

You can leave but you can't go back to the battle map

[honest trellis]

Ok thank you

[cyan fern]

You're welcome

[quartz lotus]

And this exemplifies the importance of agreeing to Nap that can work in your favor if the trucks don't go your way.
We typically go for doom and 2 towers and ffa at the 20 minute mark.

[surreal escarp]

Agreed but the point is the truck took the same exact path 4 times. Kinda ridiculous

2 closest towers would still give them 2 buildings and us 1. STILL really off

Considering that path

I mean the thing is that it hit Their doom 5 times

2 more times after I posted that

[quartz lotus]

Yeah and that happens sometimes. Has happened to us before. This time was actually a relatively even spread on the map for us

[surreal escarp]

We got our doom hit 2 times

I don’t think an algorithm should work that way.

[quartz lotus]

If you have the Nap I mentioned, would it have worked in your favor? Could you have taken their towers after the Nap ended?

[surreal escarp]

Nope because that sets them for 2 towers in the path and us 1. And it all happened in the first 35 minutes.

Normal pace is 20-30 min ffa. And they got all their points before that could begin

Plus it reserved their doom and closest towers every path

I’m more so complaining while considering that we have nap rules. I do understand that without nap entirely, it’s possible. But 2 closest towers is what everyone does lol

Maybe spreading the doom hits would be more satisfying

[thick torrent]

giving it too much credit by calling it an “algorithm” 😝 its very likely just random coin toss, and you were very likely to be just unlucky

[surreal escarp]

Fair 🥲 lol

[reef spruce]

It tends to favor the top of the map

[thick torrent]

really? got statistics?

[reef spruce]

Not officially. Just what I’ve consistently observed in my year of playing.

[carmine nest]

I wouldn’t disagree

[shadow wigeon]

did someone say north?

[surreal escarp]

Is there some strategy to keeping a truck at a building by resetting the occupation timer?

It’s been a thought but I haven’t tried

[thick torrent]

yes, common strategy to stop the last truck when points are close

[surreal escarp]

Ohh Gotcha on the last truck. So it’s not beneficial before then?

You get points for getting water so do you get points as the truck is stuck there too?

[thick torrent]

based on my experience, not much because the truck will eventually get through

[thick torrent]

nope

[surreal escarp]

Okay thank you!

[reef spruce]

Depends on how far behind you are. We have stopped several trucks before on purpose to keep them from moving.

[hasty flicker]

For someone who doesn’t do that, how do you stop the truck? Leave the tower then rejoin?

[reef spruce]

It has to be taken by the other alliance so that it is no longer considered occupied, but rather in contention. The little crossed guns that appear over a building mean it hasn’t been occupied yet. You have 3 minutes every time a different alliance takes it over to claim occupancy. So the more you fight over it and reset who owns it, the longer the truck sits and doesn’t move to the next buildings.

[hasty flicker]

Does that mean the points go to the person who holds the tower, or after the three minutes of holding the tower that team gets the points

[reef spruce]

You get points when you enter the building but it’s the trucks that give the most points and will only give points when it’s occupied.

[hasty flicker]

I think I understand, I’d like to try it out but match making since I’m not the biggest in my alliance

[reef spruce]

Basically what the game considers occupied is not just simply sitting in it. You have to hold it for 3 minutes straight.

[hasty flicker]

Alright thank you

[dapper dune]

Don't NAP then. Trucks have no pattern and seem to favor one side. The game doesn't and shouldn't care about NAPs.

Unless you advance NAP and switch towers based on truck pattern and try to purposely tie in points

[manic brook]

I’ve only ever experienced bad luck with trucks during clash and having doom 3 🤣.

One time we didn’t get a truck at all 😭.

But we just had res war and had doom 2. At first it did seem like they were favouring the top half. But the last few were ours.

[cyan fern]

They were all over the map for us today

[pure panther]

The other alliance didn't show up today.

[trail arch]

Did you win?

[frozen olive]

Looks close

[pure panther]

We won as no one from the other alliance showed up.

[pure salmon]

It sucks when alliances don't show up an hour of twiddling thumbs lol

[pure panther]

Alliance [911] 911 happened to be our opponent for this Res War.

[reef spruce]

Yes we can see

It happens

Our farm alliance 1 person showed up until I got there and tagged everyone to come on lol and then we ended up winning just because the trucks only went to the top the last 20 minutes

They would have to be for legend. It’s likely they inherited a shell.

[thick torrent]

or their bigs joined another alliance for the born leader war?

[cyan fern]

Be careful as posting in multiple channels could get you banned or muted

[reef spruce]

That too

[mental aurora]

During Clash, when I tried to relocate, I got a message saying Insufficient Alliance Relocates or something like that. Is that new? Never seen that message before. <@&742285797725569104>

[carmine nest]

Yup. At Veteran 2 you have to earn relocates by occupying the logistics base(s). The number of relocates is shared by the alliance.

[mental aurora]

Well helll. That sucks! How can I tell how many relocates we have?

[carmine nest]

When you look at your point summary screen, it shows the total remaining. And I think the logistic base might show the number as well. (Not sure on the base).

[mental aurora]

Thank you @carmine nest. Will have to pay attention next time. This is on Clash and Reservoir, correct? Only asking because we didn't have this issue during Reservoir.

[carmine nest]

Yes, both events. You either werent high enough league before, or didn’t burn as many relocates.

[mental aurora]

We burned them, just held the logistics based. 🤣

No such luck this time

Thanks again!

[unique zenith]

they’re in star ii, mustn’t have been enough in the timeslot for them to be paired with 2 legend alliances

[thick torrent]

i know the criteria for clash match is looser, meaning alliances with one tier difference could be matched, but how can that alliance be star II? probably an alliance migrating to a new state or people joined another alliance for WC

[unique zenith]

They’re also star for showdown and have a gift level of 19. I’ll check in on them after their slot has run and see if any bigger players have rejoined, but I’m thinking it’s likely that they’re recently immigrated and inherited a shell

[reef spruce]

That was what I said 😂

[quartz lotus]

When 👀

[tulip valve]

Do you get the same amount of points if you put one troop in a tower to a full march.

[carmine nest]

Yes

[pure salmon]

No for some odd reason 2 of my accounts need full and I havent found that out

[frozen olive]

Yes.

[thick torrent]

you sure it was res war and not wasteland king?

[pure salmon]

Yes im sure im not the only one on my team that has the issue plus these 2 accounts having issues with the 1 troop thing don't participate in WK

[rigid carbon]

Is this one cor from 305? They lost they've had some upheaval recently. Their big guy left.

[reef spruce]

They were still not outmatched but comparison to the third alliance

[runic kraken]

The match ups are poor! Definitely needs a fairer way of doing it x

[tulip valve]

How does it work with diamonds in alliance clash/RW?

[reef spruce]

What do you mean

[quartz lotus]

Are you talking about betting diamonds?

[tulip valve]

Betting diamond I mean

[quartz lotus]

Well you look at the alliances and you bet on which one you think is going to win. If you're wrong you get nothing but the total diamonds bet on the opposite team are divided by total number of people that bet correctly.

[reef spruce]

You can bet up to a 1000 diamonds on an alliance that shows up with a 👍🏽 (they’re only the legend rank) but you cannot bet on a match if one of the alliances is from your state or if you are in that alliance. And the rest is just what Pea already said.

[tulip valve]

Thank you both

[reef spruce]

Oh! You can also only vote for one match per time frame.

[quartz lotus]

And you can only bet 3 times

[dense locust]

Your name looks familiar

[reef spruce]

Bruh that was 4 days ago he’s not here lol

[dense locust]

My 3rd also….. asshole is 1st

[tulip valve]

What will happen if alliance win/lose? Do i get extra diamonds or loosing?

i never done it before. thats why im asking

[frozen olive]

If they win you get some diamonds

[manic brook]

…and if you lose, you lose the diamonds you endorsed with.

[reef spruce]

It’s what he said @tulip valve what you win is divided by what was bet between all the people who bet correctly. You don’t always end up with much more than you bet.

[steep vale]

Also note returns are capped at 6k diamonds if you bet 1k

[reef spruce]

I’ve never even gotten close to that much

I usually don’t bet. Not really worth it.

[steep vale]

Had it a few times, it’s more rare these days unfortunately 😭

[tulip valve]

its not worth it do it btw. to bet?

well thank you for explaining everyone

[reef spruce]

To me it’s not. A lot of people are betting and if a lot of people bet correctly, which is often the case, you get very little profit.

[rigid carbon]

Should be able to bet on whatever match up you want, 3 match ups in each timeslot is slim pickings

Or make it 6 in each slot at least.

[lime sentinel]

Anyone has a copy of the regular res war map?

[reef spruce]

Pinned messages

[lime sentinel]

Thanks. I skipped right over it🤦‍♀️

[reef spruce]

No worries haha

[azure burrow]

Hello

[pure stream]

How long is the reservoir war? I mean the actual war part. 50 minutes after initial 5 minutes of wait time?
Asking because it overlaps with Waste Conquest feast time.
(As long as you sign in at the first second, come out and go back in before it closes, you can still reap the rewards. So if the actual war starts at 05 and ends at 55, our members can technically still participate in the feast.)

[quartz lotus]

You can join res war late and leave when you get your progress points. You might not win but you can make it back to feast.

Once you leave res war though you can't get back in.

[pure stream]

Oh I actually meant the other way. (My bad, that was confusing.) That is, sign-in for the feast, come out and join the RW, and after the RW ends go back to the feast to claim rewards.

[quartz lotus]

That's what I said. You can do that. Just don't leave res war until you are ready to.

[tough pecan]

Do not make NAPs with S34 (LLO) Les Loups d'Odin.... They break them. Just a heads up to the next Alliance they face!

[carmine nest]

Why are you posting this here?

[ivory nexus]

In case anyone wants to see. Where else should I put it?

[carmine nest]

Nowhere. If you have issue with a player, deal with it privately.

[mental aurora]

How are alliances matched up for Reservoir War/Clash

[reef spruce]

Time slot and then league and affinity

[mental aurora]

Is total alliance might looked at too when being matched up?

[reef spruce]

No

[mental aurora]

Thank you.

[torn horizon]

If one player joined alliance yesterday (Wednesday), could he participate the rw or clash tomorrow?

[carmine nest]

No; they had to join before the event sign up started.

[torn horizon]

Okay. Thanks

[stone dust]

Question: right after reservoir war / clash can you shield up before returning to your state or do you need to sit out warfrenzy first? We need our full alliance to come back home shielded and want to know how to advise them doing so.

[wicked salmon]

You can shield exactly after returning from the reservoir war, war frenzy will disappear when you exit from war.

[stone dust]

Thanks!

[rapid trellis]

With all theses states and servers how are we matched with the same alliance every clash and every Friday and the ones we matched for clash are way above us in might y’all make no sense match them with alliances that also have 10 hq40 in their alliance compared to 1 hq 40 Ijs

[reef spruce]

What time do you pick? Maybe there just aren’t many options at the time you pick and within your league.

[rapid trellis]

2nd to last I mean I was in COM and never had the alliance I’m in now since I moved it’s COM every Friday but last Friday 😂

But I mean out of 500 states I’m sure they can match us with someone different

[reef spruce]

Are you legend league then?

[heady marlin]

Guys I really hate Arena, I miss arena for my kingdom....

[reef spruce]

#👾arena・uc・campaign

[heady marlin]

Yes, It's really ugly to fight with kingdom more strong

[reef spruce]

This conversation belongs in #👾arena・uc・campaign. This is about alliance clash and reservoir war

[heady marlin]

There's one, I am new

My frustration is big

[light saffron]

If they ask for NAP they are all liars

They wanted nap

Now since we are winning

They kill us all because we just new and lil players 🤣🤣

And they wer the one who ask for a NAP

[frozen olive]

Nap is usually just 2 towers and doom.

[reef spruce]

We have done half maps before but not in a long time.

[frozen olive]

But your picture seems misleading.

Doesn’t say what nap was agreed upon.

[uneven kayak]

1st come 1st serve?!

#📚sanctuary-rules

[whole portal]

Ok this is the SS folks asked for, only happens during AC and actually once or twice last Valiant, now-to be fair I had no rallies in motion, I was not Super Reinforcing any buildings, all troops were idle, regardless of the troop type or amount selected, trying to join a rally that had 2x my March size available and no one else trying to join, so yes I am truly stumped yet again, no matter how often I report this to CS I never get a response of any kind, if any of you have found the solution to this issue would you kindly share it with me either here or via dm. Thank you in advance

[weary canopy]

?

[hot juniper]

Hi Warpping - I have had this once before as well (I can’t remember how it was resolved; but it did while I was in the event) is this happening to you in every AC / Res War? If so, can you please dm me your information and I’ll escalate it as well see if I can get some answers

[whole portal]

DM sent thank you for trying 🙏

[frozen olive]

This actually happens during ours too.

[hot juniper]

I’m lucky I’ve only had it the once. And for the life of me I can’t remember how it resolved itself. I just assumed it was lag at the time cause it never happened again

[frozen olive]

Think we just kept trying. And it went away

I don’t remember. I normally half asleep during these events

[viscid imp]

nap in ours is usually two towers, doom fortress and the mud. Green area is open season.

[warm blade]

Question was looking at our RW opponent and it says invalid alliance is this a game error?

[frozen olive]

I can look on my end. Message me if you wish

See if they show up

[warm blade]

Thank you

[tulip valve]

That’s a good alliance name though… “invalid alliance” Is it possible that there was an odd number of alliances that signed up and you may have possibly gotten lucky and get a field to yourself?

[quartz lotus]

Free win

[surreal escarp]

Are both military bases and hospitals open in the pro 1 league?

[carmine nest]

Pretty sure the only building that is available based on Affinity ranking is Logistics bases

[warm current]

what is up with this? Never seen it before now.

[reef spruce]

Your alliance used up all the relocates you get from the logistics base

Moved around a lot

[warm current]

we always do. We chase the trucks. I've never seen this before lol

[reef spruce]

Well y’all moved too much this time 😂

[carmine nest]

Your limits are visible when you look at the screen displayed with your score. At veteran 2 you need to occupy logistics bases to be able to increase your combined alliance totals

[reef spruce]

You get a certain number from holding the log bases

[warm current]

ok, cool. Had me all kinds of confused tonight. Our opponents doubled us & I kept getting disconnected from the server so wasn't sure if it was something else going on. Thanks guys.

[unique zenith]

we might have lost but we put up a hell of a fight. Kudos to @snow breach and the [idk] team for being absolutely kickass and a lot of fun to go up against.

Plus it was definitely good to go up against some old friends

[tardy elbow]

That’s teleport chances per alliance not per player right?

[carmine nest]

Yes, per alliance. So people need to be mindful of being efficient with their movements, or be prepared to use speedups

[tardy elbow]

Ty

[summer plank]

Question got some new people in the alliance is res war a 24 cool down or 72?

[polar pilot]

72h about 48h, you need to be on the alliance before signup period begins, which is 2 days before the first time frame

[summer plank]

Ty

[tulip valve]

Can you set two separate rallies by two different players to the same tower by the same alliance in Rez wars?

[dapper dune]

Yes

[lone rune]

Just wondering what Alliance chat this is.

[barren temple]

Not specifically an alliance chat. This channel is used to discuss anything and everything about Reservoir War and Reservoir Clash.

[lone rune]

OK thanks

[open ravine]

Do the events, clash and res war alternate weekly? and do the time frames change?

[frozen olive]

Yes they alternate. No the times are always the same to choose from

[tulip valve]

Wth is with the messed up matching in clash??
Matched against an alliance twice our might!
Time to end this crap event!!

[cyan fern]

It happens all the time. They will move up away from your level eventually

[cyan fern]

See if you can get a NAP. Most alliances will allow Doom and 2 towers.

[tulip valve]

Another friend here has a big alliance and was matched against 2 new state alliances…. Sometimes the matchups suck. I’m sure they will nap for doom and 2 closest towers. That way you can at least all get your points.

[reef spruce]

You never know. One of our matchups doesn’t ever do NAPs.

We faced an alliance once that had just moved and so were starting over and they could easily win but also refused to NAP

[tulip valve]

True. But 90% of the time they will. Especially when they see a bad matchups with a tiny alliance. Karma… they will be the small guy eventually

[harsh quarry]

Aine of my alliances will extend extra towers to the underdog if we are a lot stronger than the other alliances.
And truthfully, it all depends on where the trucks go and whether you can gain one of the buildings it’s going to just before it gets there. That ties the truck up for three minutes.
We have lost when we were the strongest, and won when we were the weakest because of where the trucks went.

[tulip valve]

Very true. I was in one that 6 in a row took the exact same path to their doom and we lost because of it

[harsh quarry]

We must have been in the same on! Lmao!
I’m of the mindset now where, if I get my occupation points and some Levina frags, I’m good :).

[manic brook]

So, is Doom 3 really cursed in Clash? 😅 Cause based on past and current situations... it seems like it!

[cyan fern]

Lol.

[mint siren]

I noticed it too 🤣 this time we were in Doom3 and got only 2nd rank though we had chance for 1st one. if we got more trucks we would definitely win.

But the logic of the event is not in being lucky or not, the rules don't say we should ask for nap. If you need that truck just go and fight damn :)))

[whole portal]

👆 Preach!

[pallid inlet]

Can i ask... What genius in PNS have so great idea and do rule... When i sign with aliance to res/ clash... And after jump out of aliance and return to same aliance i cant join to event...

What benefit is for me when i jump out and return... I mean what i bring so good what is unfair for oponents

[quartz lotus]

That rule is stated in the description of the event and it is in place to prevent people from joining a weaker alliance to get an easy win from/for them

[reef spruce]

That rule was implemented many months ago to prevent alliances from having big players join their alliance last minute. Now the rules clearly state you must be in before sign ups start and you cannot leave to be able to participate.

[quartz lotus]

It doesn't matter there is a timer and you can't leave or you are disqualified

[pallid inlet]

But if i was in aliance when we sign... When we already have it oponents...... How can someone help

I go to same

[reef spruce]

Otherwise players would invite big players for sign ups, then they would go back home, and then come back for the event.

[reef spruce]

It’s not about your specific issue. It’s about preventing the ability to bring in ringers. It does say you can’t leave or you will be unable to participate.

[pallid inlet]

This can do only idiot

[reef spruce]

Unfortunately not. It would be something many people would do.

[pallid inlet]

Thats mean iam lock in cage

[reef spruce]

You can leave after the event and every day up until before reset when sign ups start.

[quartz lotus]

Yep like a dog like everyone else is

[reef spruce]

Not really. I leave all the time.

Just not during the three days of RW/clash.

[pallid inlet]

In another events use time what must spend in aliance why do use same...

[quartz lotus]

That is what he is talking about

[reef spruce]

Because people were upset that so many alliances were bringing in other players in the last minute.

[reef spruce]

I’m aware of that. But it’s 3 days of sticking with your own alliance.

[pallid inlet]

Its like i start cooking in kitchen but i must go buy something extra... But when i return... I havent access to kitchen...

[quartz lotus]

Not even remotely close

[reef spruce]

Not quite. I understand you’re frustrated but it was a huge problem. This update has existed for over 6 months.

[pallid inlet]

Yes last minut... I was out 1 hr...

[reef spruce]

The timing does not matter unfortunately. You cannot leave at all. You just have to be careful.

[quartz lotus]

More so like taking a test. You leave and can't return because you could've been cheating

[reef spruce]

Yes

[pallid inlet]

How cheating? Send rss out from bag... Iam now have less weight... Or others send me rss for best upgrade

[reef spruce]

You have to wait to do those things until after your time to participate

[quartz lotus]

If you have to transfer rrs they can wait 3 days

[reef spruce]

Maybe you could make a suggestion that there be a time limit that you can exit and return and still participate, but as of right now, you can’t leave at all.

In #💭closed-game-suggestions

[pallid inlet]

Yes or in custom servic where is beter dont answer me or say... Pns is still not finished game... We worked on it...

[quartz lotus]

It took me like 2 months to get a reply for a ticket I submitted once

[reef spruce]

That’s all I can really suggest. I can add it to my reports as a suggestion as well. It is up to the developers to take it into consideration, though.

[pallid inlet]

It was diferent reason i just give examples
.. But sometimes can wait sometimes cant

[reef spruce]

But at least now you know for the future that you can’t leave during that time.

[pallid inlet]

Then some must put head from ass and start thinking... I know and i believe things can be sorted better... But easier is just this what some genius have it like good idea

[pallid inlet]

And results is gif code with 100 diamond and 10x 5 min speedups 🤣

[reef spruce]

A lot of players complained. Including myself. It was a big problem. It was unfair that people were bringing in outside players. So the developers responded with a fix. Maybe it’s not perfect and could use a suggestion like I recommended, but it did make the event more fair. And that was the point.

[pure salmon]

I as well complained. It use to suck when you had a nice match-up and then boom ya wake up the next day tons of big guys you can't face. I do prefer the way it is now versus then

[pallid inlet]

I agree but now they do from this cage. They join in last minute i remember how they offer... We miss... I can join... But now punished all and close to cage...

[reef spruce]

As do I. I mean a long time ago we definitely had a player join us who wasn’t in at the start because he was there to help us out with other stuff and then he just stayed. We didn’t bring him in specifically for that. But it certainly wasn’t fair lol. I do also prefer it the way it is now.

[pure salmon]

Tbh if people weren't jerks about things it wouldn't of ended up that way. It doesn't hurt staying in an alliance from signup to the last time slot. Only time I leave is if I participate in WK so not many reasons to leave

[pallid inlet]

Iam in sign...... Iam in after oponent match... I leave... I cant join to another aliance... And whem return to where i sign... I can join btw i join 24hr before start match

[pallid inlet]

I just think it not fair for others... They maybe stop big to join to weak... But again do it worst for regular players... And reasons is many...

[reef spruce]

It’s been helpful to many regular players, as well.

[pure salmon]

Because of that update res/clash has become my favorite thing

I use to to dread it every week

[reef spruce]

At this point, you can make a suggestion in #💭closed-game-suggestions and I can as well. Sorry that that is all that we can offer at the moment.

[pallid inlet]

Freedom is for me important...

[pallid inlet]

Its ok... Its waste of time... They dont change nothing 🤣

Thx for answer

[reef spruce]

They do in fact. It’s why they changed the rules for Res war. But you’re welcome.

[pallid inlet]

Not sure if its freedom if iam pushed stay or not play event...

[reef spruce]

I’m sorry you feel that way. Every event has rules. This is the rule for this event. It was change made because many players wanted it. Not all did, but enough did that it was a viable change.

[frozen olive]

Alliance FFF on state 341 doesn’t honor nap.

[noble sorrel]

Does anyone know how clash matchup is actually determined? 3 times in a row now we've just sat by and watched alliances from states hundreds before us, we're in 471 and got matched up with state 7 a few weeks ago

[reef spruce]

Your time slot, your league, and then your actual points

[noble sorrel]

So changing time slot might give us better luck then? So we're matching up people who have either came 2nd or 3rd in points like us? There should really be a cap on how far the might can differentiate, we're currently against an alliance twice the size of us and another only 1 tenth of our size, the result is decided from the start

[reef spruce]

It might. It might not. It’s dependent on who is in your league. But alliance might doesn’t necessarily guarantee anything. My alliance once beat an alliance when we only had 3 players, two of us alone taking them on, a third reinforcing. We were immigrating so most of ours had left. This is a good event to learn how to strategize. Use it as an opportunity to learn.

When I look at who we face, I look at their stats. I don’t pay attention to their alliance might. I check out their actual players.

[wanton light]

Preach!!!! Exactly!!!👆

[prime rivet]

Agree there

[hot juniper]

And then last 15mins we usually end in a mass HQ burning bonfire somewhere in the middle 😂

[manic brook]

I refer to it as a cuddle party! 🤣🤣🤣

[hot juniper]

I’m gonna say that in battle chat for the next one 😂

[manic brook]

🤣🤣🤣 do it!

[cyan fern]

Love a good burn session.

[tulip valve]

I call it a fire orgy 😂😂

[rigid carbon]

Quicky, if you leave the alliance AFTER sign up is over and come back shortly after are you restricted from Res/clash?

[cyan fern]

Yes - I believe you are

[dapper dune]

https://tenor.com/view/youre-out-ryan-brawl-talk-brawl-stars-bye-gif-17019531

[rigid carbon]

Thank you.

[dapper dune]

I tested it, definitely don't leave

[rigid carbon]

Yeah no worries. Was a unique situation. Thanks for the info.

[surreal escarp]

Res war is becoming a joke. Weak rewards and How can it hit 1 teams doom tower the entire time? Do the game devs not have any touch of reality to how players play with nap in res war. Seriously the distribution is wack and very biased. Seems simple to work on a better system for the truck this far into the game

[frozen olive]

Go take their doom

[storm eagle]

Is there a way to find a record of past RW?

[manic brook]

Only the previous one before it. Other than that… no. 😭. It would be nice to see who you’ve encountered though.

[storm eagle]

Man it really would. Thanks kato

[pure salmon]

Only record I have is nap screenshots in discord lol

[manic brook]

Yeah. I try to keep track of who in our calendar, but half the time… I forget 🤣

[reef spruce]

NAP is player designed. The event wasn’t designed for not attacking. You’re supposed to.

[storm eagle]

We’re gonna try ss posts I guess

[surreal escarp]

Yes. And everyone mostly still follows 2 towers closest to doom. So again.. out of touch with how the players play the game.

[reef spruce]

It’s not out of touch. It’s to encourage you to fight.

[pure salmon]

I love that nap the fighting and rallies are fun

[reef spruce]

You get your troops back. Why not use it to fight and strategize?

[surreal escarp]

Spend resources to fight for the entire map for elementary rewards? No thank you. Weak rewards won’t encourage anyone to follow through a ffa map the entire time.

[manic brook]

I do too. 🤣 it gets a little bit of both done. Assures the points and still gets the pyromaniacs their kills.

Although I’m always tempted to break it when the trucks go to the opponent’s doom instead 🤣🤣🤣

[surreal escarp]

It happens every week for god sake. Who wants to spend that much every week for those types of sacrifices

Very out of touch

[manic brook]

…and then there’s always the cuddle party near the end 😍😍😍

[pure salmon]

I've broken nap once in a clash but that was cause the one team broke nap and i was giving the tower back. But yesssss it's so fun I occasionally do doom and 2 towers of choosing for our team if they dont reach put first 😂 I die early cause I sit in the non safe zone occasionally

Give me all the fiery cuddles as long as I have my points I don't care 😍

[frozen olive]

Cuddles

[manic brook]

I tried that one. Sitting on the green. Didn’t take long til I was roasting on the green 🤣. So now I mostly a spotter and rally fill 🤣

A trend that I’ve been seeing more often now are only attacking HQs on the green from the green

[frozen olive]

I never make it to the end. I usually fall asleep

[manic brook]

….just send marshmallows too 🤣

[pure salmon]

Yes u have seen that alot when I get reached out to on a nap. Seems very common.

But still a common mistake is being burnt the first 5 minutes lol

[manic brook]

👈🏽 common mistake maker

[pure salmon]

I once fell asleep mid rallying making jolted awake before almost being set on fire...🤣

[frozen olive]

I don’t get notifications so I don’t need to worry

[pure salmon]

Oh I was still in the game I have a timer of how long it's open that vibrating from attacking is very jolting😂

[frozen olive]

Last res wars. Was a feast before hand. So when I switched. To rss wars. And had to wait the 5 minute until start…I passed out

Never even got a march out

[manic brook]

I only pass out during …. VK not in a bubble…. or when I’m in the hub during zenith - which isn’t too often - but when I am, all turrets are attacking 🤦🏻‍♀️

[pure salmon]

Omg 😅 I once was awake for 18 hours due to that. Did our triple header barely awake for clash or res or whatever it was decided eh gonna participate in WK nope couldn't sleep like normal... we got attacked lol

[manic brook]

I went through a family size bag of M&Ms in less than 2 hours during last WK 😭. That was not my greatest moment.

But RW / Clash is a cake walk compared to that 🤣. I just want water!!!

[frozen olive]

😂😂😆😂

[pure salmon]

Sounds like my poor bag of chips in the last one I participated in 😂 😂 😅 I can never eat during res/clash

[reef spruce]

I used all my showdown diamonds 😭

[manic brook]

Nah. That event isn’t long enough 🤣. There shouldn’t be down time to eat anything

[pure salmon]

I'm caught in the first 5 minute countdown eating after that nopity nope😅 🤣

[manic brook]

Unless it’s snacks 🤔 like M&Ms. they’re clearly easy enough to eat anywhere

[reef spruce]

Just pour them all in

[pure salmon]

I once choked on an m&m that way... 😂

[manic brook]

But… they don’t last as long 😭

[muted dune]

We had a great water wars, struck a decent NAP and vacated buildings to ensure other team collected full points and then a slap and tickle fest at the end with some super rally practice runs. Fires fires everywhere! Match ups can really suck, but try for a good nap and at the very least, take the time to use it as a group strategy event.

[pure salmon]

A decent nap can really change wonders tbh

[heady marlin]

How do you say Guerra del Embalse in English?

This was a error.... Full castles against new... Masacre!!!!

[mint siren]

what happened?

[heady marlin]

Kingdom 96 against 426 this was ugly

[mint siren]

why? did you have same rank with them?

[heady marlin]

I think is a error... Or we are in a real like how Russia against Ukraine

[mint siren]

This is game, and you get opponents according to your rank and timeslot

You could message them and ask for NAP on a few towers

so you would get at least some points

[heady marlin]

I feeling frustration

[fathom lion]

next time ask santa for easy opponents for the whole year. that you always win.

[heady marlin]

I don't give easy, I told a good balance

[analog wing]

Ebat ti poliglot

[mint siren]

It's just how ranking works in the event. You win, you lose. You can't win all time or just become stronger

[heady marlin]

You are saying, this game when you won... Next time it sees how break you

[marsh dawn]

Disappointed?🤣 Error 🤣🤣 You are in the same league, since your alliance was able to rise in points to level 96 state, then a worthy opponent. So less whining, more action

[heady marlin]

And you will say, 300 or up don't have one

And this game no has other option

[marsh dawn]

I repeat once again, for those who are in the tank, there is no ranking by the age of the states, only the league and the number of points in it + time range, that's it! these are all conditions, the rest is random and luck

[heady marlin]

I believe this game has a lot problem... But who like puzzle we are going to play

Finished....

[marsh dawn]

right, play puzzles or farmville, since military events are so scary for you

[heady marlin]

How do you say scary, when there's not nothing to do ..

Castle 24 and 32 against 38

Are you serious

Ukraine don't lose because the world is with them

[frozen olive]

🤔

[mint siren]

He is from Ukraine by the way 😉 and please don't compare game with real world.
If you can't afford playing against strong ones, just make you alliance rank lower and you will get weak opponents

[heady marlin]

I don't talk weak. . I talk similar, but very strong hhhhhhh

[mint siren]

Doesn't matter

It's same way anyway, make alliance rank lower

[heady marlin]

I think a thinks the world will be for a strangers. You want this thing people learn...

[mint siren]

Even strong alliance can lose to more stronger ones. You can't win all time, it's impossible. There is always bigger fish

[heady marlin]

Ok. Rusia tech us this thing, and I guess P.u.t.i.n learn here hhhhhh

[manic brook]

Last I checked, opponents are matched by affinity. If both of you are within the same league, then there will be a chance you will be matched no matter what state.

Sometimes you’re drawn the unlucky card and get matched with sometime who is higher in might while other times, you are matched with someone that you can easily defeat.

Best part is… you don’t actually lose anything. Troops don’t die. You don’t lose rss - unless you heal - and overall you can test out how good your setup is.

SIDENOTE. Keep political views out of discussion.

[void wedge]

This happens it is all dependent on how high u are in alliance affinity 1 day u get enough good wins and face alliances like hop big factor is how well team plays together want good points and good fight make a 30 kin nap with oppent then when all have points go fight to see who stronger it 1 way of play

[cyan fern]

Well we just got dropped out of legendary I think - thank goodness

[void wedge]

Yeah sod that lvl

My poor troops just go yeah nah bye

[cyan fern]

I rallied a 40 out of a couple of buildings

[void wedge]

Noice

Remember me if we ever meet ingame not to love tap ur base

[reef spruce]

I will hit you so hard if we ever meet

Run run run

Mwahahahaha

[quartz lotus]

She wants to love tap @void wedge

👀

[void wedge]

Maybe I would like that though

[reef spruce]

I’m sure you would 😂

[void wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/gary-tay-you-so-funny-pointing-kid-cute-gif-16326528

[cyan fern]

You don't want to tap my base?

[pure salmon]

I think of myself as weak but ill wack anybodys base and just start laughing about my death 😂 ended res war with nothing today it was fun😂

[cyan fern]

I was sad I still had some troops left. Only lost 283m might

[pure salmon]

I finally found out how much of my might is troops and im fluffy very fluffy😅

[harsh quarry]

Lol. I lost nearly 70 mil in troop might today, lol. Might was still over 200 though, so I’m not quite so fluffy. Lol

[pure salmon]

This is my might being fully zeroed🤣 🤣 😂 😂

[cyan fern]

I think my might only drops to 420m if all my troops die

[pure salmon]

Im not too big only 409m so that kinda made me wonder what ive been doing lol

[cyan fern]

Gotta start somewhere

[hoary oasis]

Hi guys, I'm new in this game😀

[reef spruce]

Welcome

[hoary oasis]

Thx 😁

[reef spruce]

It is back to bed time though. Been up for 3 hours too long.

[harsh quarry]

I’m closing in on 300 mil, lol

[cyan fern]

I'm only down a little less than 100m today

[candid dune]

All I want to know is Levina frags or nano tubes

Levina is +3 for me now

[reef spruce]

I maxed levina first

[candid dune]

Bet!

[dapper dune]

Speed ups for me.

[quartz lotus]

You have levina at 8?

[cyan fern]

Nanotubes

[prime ocean]

Nanotubes are a must

[tulip valve]

It's easy to get Levina frags in ace week from Monday - Wednesday from wheel but you have to choose the rewards and then spend 100$ to get all rewards

[tulip valve]

Nantubes you also get from ace week but in rw/ac shop you have to be hq36

[candid dune]

I'll keep that in mind since I'm tempted to get these 10 star chip promoters 🤣 😂 🤣 😂

In my mind, the best thing for me to do is instead of getting the last three shooter chips to 9star. I turn the other three 9star to 10 star...lol

[frozen olive]

Pay for mine too

[prime ocean]

Get Nanotubes any chance you can lol gotta stock up early😂

[quartz lotus]

My go to for scorched earth

[prime rivet]

I got levina to +6 and then going for the nanotubes.

[manic brook]

I got Levina... thats all im willing to admit to 😅

[cyan fern]

My levina is 1 or 2

[candid dune]

👀 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣

[fresh flax]

Can anyone tell me if you can occupy logistics base in alliance clash. Thank u in advance

[carmine nest]

You can starting in Veteran II. Leagues below that it is locked.
At Veteran II, you no longer get unlimited use of direct relocates and need to occupy the Logistics Base to earn more than your base relocates.

[fresh flax]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[high geyser]

Can anyone explain to me why our alliance of 20 members and 900 million might gets matched against an alliance with 95 members and 20 BILLION MIGHT????!!!!!!! They have 3 members each stronger than our entire alliance and 76 members stronger than our strongest player!!!!

[quartz lotus]

Did you take over a shell? If not they could've recently moved states and had to start over. That happened to my alliance once

[high geyser]

I do know some of their members because they were formerly in our state and a couple in our alliance. We are a small farm account just that started a couple weeks ago and just now opened alliance wood farm cap on tech tree.

[high geyser]

So they matched by tech tree? I thought it was the amount of hqs over lvl 18?

[inland summit]

It is matched by affinity. No longer based off of might or anything else

As far I know

[quartz lotus]

Not tech tree.
The way Alliances are matched together is by your Alliance Affinity which then determines your Alliance grade
The other matching factor is by your selected time slot which takes priority over Affinity if there isn't any other alliances with your Affinity grade

[inland summit]

Yeah time slot, forgot the most important thing

[quartz lotus]

You say formerly in your state so it sounds like they moved states and either started a new alliance or took over an old shell that what wasn't very high.

[high geyser]

Just heard from one and they started ground up so apparently their affinity isn’t high yet but with so few time slots to choose from you would think the devs could do a better job matching similar might instead of affinity.

[prime rivet]

it's because of the division that occupy for reservoir war that you guys were paired up.

[high geyser]

If we can’t have them agree to a NAP then we are just wasting our time.

[prime rivet]

I would suggest nap for 2 towers and 1 fortress. That way u guys can all get points.

[high geyser]

That’s what we always suggest unless we are close to equal in might. Then it’s doom is safe, equal towers, odd even if rez or 3 each for clash, peace for 30, war for 30 but some alliances have language barriers, don’t care, or…. Just seems like there’s a better way to match us.

[quartz lotus]

Well it has never been might and might isn't a great measure of how strong someone is. I will look at someone's might but what I really look at is their gear.

Like I said before, we have faced a relocated alliance before and they stomped us because we weren't as strong as them. Sometimes you just get the short stick and have to deal with it. They will win and move up in Affinity Grade and you won't ever see them again. But atleast it is Clash and not res so you will only lose up to 200 points and not 500 like we did when we were in your same situation because that happened to us in res war and we couldn't do anything about it. They didn't want to have a NAP so we all just left and let them sit there for an hour and not do anything.

[high geyser]

Even if there is a better way, we are trying to accommodate people in 10 different time zones so it’s hard to have people on.

[quartz lotus]

That is one problem that we face aswell. We usually do clash last slot and res first slot

[high geyser]

I agree about might vs gear/chips etc. but that fake might can be troops and I can’t burn through healing speed ups when they have reserve troops

[quartz lotus]

We have more on for first slot so we do res for that because you lose more if you lose res

[high geyser]

Our main does last, farm is doing first

[quartz lotus]

Sometimes you are just SOL and most people have been SOL at one point or another and that is how it goes. There is always next week or week after for clash where hopefully it won't happen again and mathematically isn't likely to happen

[high geyser]

Was just curious. Appreciate your time. We split day and night events to accommodate all to join at least 1 event. Will continue to check the amount of participation and bring up your theory times for rez/clash

[quartz lotus]

We usually split events aswell

[cyan fern]

We're up against an alliance with way smaller might bit 2 players I know can knock us out of towers solo so... ought to be festive

[wicked salmon]

How is 3 min count if i take tower recall troops and again send troops to tower from first or second occupation (between occupations nobody other do not take tower)?

[quartz lotus]

The timer will continue to count down from 3 mines

The timer doesn't get reset

[stoic fractal]

What's the best value in the Clash Shop? Should I just buy Levina first then do 3 hour speedups?

[main kiln]

just wanna warn here. S261 8BQ broke NAP on Alliance Clash.

details:
there was a standard NAP agreement of Doom + 2 Towers.
they had NAP Doom 3 and towers 9,10 due to agreement
in the beginning we took tower 6 at their spawn point.
perhaps they didn't like it, so they did the following:

• they attacked our Tower 1 and activated SP and filled it.
• they attacked our Doom (solo attack on people who mostly had 1 unit there)
  so what we did:
• took it all back,
• took their Doom
  they trashtalked us in the chat bringing excuses: 'we pulled immeditaely', 'there was no water truck', etc.
  blaming us for breaking NAP.
  I tried to talk to them, but they were talking in an insulting manner, so we took their towers and burnt all their shelters, which we could.

[reef spruce]

While you’re free to inform of alliances that break NAP, name calling is not allowed.

[main kiln]

yeah, i'm sorry. i have problems with that. let me edit.

[reef spruce]

Thanks

[main kiln]

thank you. i think should be ok now.

[hasty lynx]

remember these stupid people, they violate agreements and believe that this is how it should be

leader and death - don’t understand fair play)))

when they started losing, they broke all the agreements

[pure salmon]

I've been up against that state in wasteland 😅 😂

[quartz lotus]

So have we. Last wk actually

[heavy sparrow]

Please fix the notification red dot!! After clash is over, never turns off!

[wanton light]

I know. It's so annoying 🤣🤣🤣

[ionic root]

Hey everyone. Signed up for RW for 17:00 to 18:00. That's utc time right? Game time? Or does it show my time because it's on my account??

[manic brook]

The times listed for RW are your local time.

[ionic root]

Thanks a bunch!!

[sullen coral]

So, during reservoir event. How do you apply anti scout to the occupied building?

[quartz lotus]

Can't be applied to your buildings only your sanctuary

[sullen coral]

There is some way to do it, I have seen it done

Like there are anti scout building token of something

[quartz lotus]

You can't other than maybe the Camo Rifle but I think that is only your sanctuary aswell

[sullen coral]

Hmmm… well that is disappointing. I coulda sworn it was accomplished. The entire building

[quartz lotus]

It could've been held by the alliance and just been empty

[carmine nest]

Yeah, as mclovin said, anti scout only works on your HQ. Nothing stops any occupied building from being scouted.

[sullen coral]

That’s crazy, I could swear a member of old alliance did it. Okay thank you mclovin and for the double conformation hillside

[jaunty bridge]

I saw this pasted in a Facebook group...

Any advice every rss war i cant join any rallies . It say invalid troupe type. I can start rallies but cant join them. Help

Any ideas why someone would get an invalid troop type?

[barren temple]

I have experienced this myself a few times along with others as well. Using the "Fix Game" option during booting fixes it for me. I will bring it up to attention as well again in my report.

[jaunty bridge]

Thank you for the response.

[reef spruce]

Was also posted here in another channel

[warped patrol]

So how is this a fair matchup?

[frozen olive]

It goes by your affinity score. Did you take over an old alliance?

[warped patrol]

No we didn’t

[reef spruce]

Your alliances are the same time slot and affinity level, which are the two primary factors that the game uses to determine match ups, then would be points your alliance has.

[dapper dune]

youre in the same bracket.

[warped patrol]

That’s BS. We have no way to beat them.

[pure salmon]

Tbh it happens and that's where you make the most out of it. Test rallies, make friends and just mess around troops come back at the end. It happens as long as you have a little bit of a nap to get points that should be fine for now

[tulip valve]

It actually happens quite often. Most of the time bigger alliances will let you keep a few buildings for points and help you…. It’s no fun for the big alliances either. We like having a good fight and it’s no fun going against a tiny alliance.

[hot juniper]

Agreed. We surprisingly won ours. We weren’t the strongest but we had the most players show up 😎

[reef spruce]

Good time to test out strategies. Stall stall stall.

[quartz lotus]

You know all about stalling.

[reef spruce]

I’m not sure how you mean that 😂

[quartz lotus]

Was trying to make a joke. I guess I just made you confused

[reef spruce]

You usually do

[quartz lotus]

I do not

Not all the time

[harsh quarry]

Good time to test your wall, too 🙂

[quartz lotus]

Yes. One of my favorite pass times at the end of res and clash

[harsh quarry]

I was disappointed this last week. Agreed in last ten mins for hq hits. Moved to the green for it…and nothing :(. How am I supposed to test my wall if nobody cooperates?
I know it didn’t stand up to what hit it this morning! I think a Sherman tank ran over it! Lol

[cyan fern]

We had so much fun in our last 10 this week

[quartz lotus]

That has only happened once to me. And it was Anubess

[dapper dune]

we had rally battles with them that week. we all were running out of troops

[quartz lotus]

Nice. I did not

[tulip valve]

Why is it bfr valiant it's res war.
Bfr wk it's Alliance clash.
What's the reason for different naming for the same two events that have the same concept

[dapper dune]

Battlefield are different. One is 1v1 other is 3 team ffa. They need different names

[inland summit]

Could you imagine the headaches from trying to answer people's vague questions if they both had the same name? yikes

[proud niche]

What are the rules concerning leaving and rejoining an Alliance when Clash is active? I want to kick a farm so I can attack a tile to cause wounded. Do I wait until after signup period is completed? Or does it not matter once the Alliance has signed up? Thanks!

[quartz lotus]

You can't leave at all once sign up day starts. If you leave and or kick anyone they will not be able to participate in Clash or Res

[proud niche]

Ah, darn. I'll see if I can get someone from another Alliance to hit my tile then. Thanks.

[quartz lotus]

That's what most people do. I personally will gladly hit tiles upon request

[harsh quarry]

I don’t know anybody who will turn down a chance for hitting someone without consequences!

[quartz lotus]

Exactly

[reef spruce]

Someone got mad because I asked for a tile hit, they volunteered and sent before I knew, and they lost. Badly. All I sent were T1s. But they were really weak. They complained and then our state leader was like “check the gear next time” 😂

[quartz lotus]

Lol

[carmine nest]

Haha. Yeah, some of those t1s can still kick some ass 🤣

[cyan fern]

I've taken a putting troops on a tile and letting people hit me instead. I get less complaints that way

[harsh quarry]

Lol. Someone asked to hit my tile for a quest last week. My t1 with t10 stats definitely won the battle! Lol

[inland summit]

Hey, sorry I got butthurt but it was a lot to heal.

[reef spruce]

It wasn’t even you lmao

[inland summit]

I know

Just having fun

[cyan fern]

You two are hysterical

[reef spruce]

It’s because he gets butthurt so often it is legitimate that it could have been him

[inland summit]

It's true

[reef spruce]

I keep thinking clash is tomorrow because I keep thinking it’s Thursday

[inland summit]

Must be nice not having to go to work

Res war > Clash

[reef spruce]

It is literally the one perk of my job so you’re goddamn right it is

[reef spruce]

I like that in clash you just lose points though and not a whole rank

[inland summit]

I was just keeping it on topic as I don't mind either really.

[reef spruce]

Clash is annoying

Three alliances

[inland summit]

Can be but it can also be fun to stomp on 2 alliances

[reef spruce]

If it’s possible lol

[inland summit]

I find the most joy in watching the 35's try to burn Pea but don't tell him.

[reef spruce]

Can’t get too cocky if we win we are headed for legend I’m pretty sure and we will get stomped

[reef spruce]

I shall definitely not tag @quartz lotus he will never know

Whoops

[cyan fern]

We've been jumping back and forth for a while in both

[inland summit]

Thanks

I know how to delete

[reef spruce]

I got a ss

[inland summit]

Lol

[reef spruce]

It’s okay. People can know you like them.

[reef spruce]

I’m trying to temper my alliance’s hubris lol we haven’t lost in quite awhile and so we are definitely due.

[cyan fern]

We win until we hit Legend and then we might win one more

But at that point we usually drop back down

[inland summit]

I still remember the loss we took after you all moved. We came, we marched, we got beat, we left. All done in less than 2 minutes

[cyan fern]

We're not big enough for legend

[reef spruce]

We aren’t either

[inland summit]

We never will be most likely

[reef spruce]

Hush. You never know.

[inland summit]

I'm sure we will continue to grow but so will the bigger alliances. I figure we will stay about the same strength overall relative to others unless we bring in a few more bigger players to help win res war

[quartz lotus]

Yep and this one is it.

[reef spruce]

Maybe

[quartz lotus]

Have you looked at our opponents?

[reef spruce]

Yes

ValenceRing’s alliance lol
