I don't know if i missed something, but there's a noticeable lack of engineering thread. is the discussion of engineering solution prohibited?
In any case, i think the solution is the game engine should be able to detect and scale engineering value itself through game calculations, PER CLAN.
For example:
player A of clan Z has disparity of level 11 TH, level 3 bowlers, and absent eagle and inferno = engineering value of X
player B of clan Z has disparity of level 10 TH, level 5 valks, and absent infernos, 1 xbow, and 1 cannon = engineering value of Y
total engineering value (such as X and Y) in clan Z = E
then the war search should match 2 clans with equal E points. it would pit engineering clans against engineering clans of the same engineering value. Fair clans obviously would have 0 or few E points and therefore would match against equal fair clans
This way, it doesn't forbid players from "playing how they want" and in the same time keeps the game fair.
What do you think?
