Does Changing Language Make a Difference in Opponent Searching?

I have heard friends mentioning that by changing the Language Settings for your game, you will be able to encounter different opponents (supposedly easier ones in less popular languages) during searches. Is this a myth or is there truth to it?

Personally, I have tried a few languages but found no significant differences in the opponents I searched. For example, if I am to change my Language to Japanese or Chinese, I should be encountering more opponents whose names and/or clans are written in those languages. However that was not the case for me.

So I am dismissing that changing the language setting makes any difference at all in searching, since all bases should be in the same server and will be included in your search as long as the trophy and activeness conditions are met.

What's your perspective on this?

I've heard about this too. I tried it a few times, but didn't notice a difference.

It restarts the game, and I'm not sure what effect that has. At times when I hit a dry spell, I switch languages and very often find better matches. Maybe it is not linked to actual persons or geographies, but the restart could put us onto a different queue or set of players. It works. Just dont know how.

What if it does the exact opposite? Your targets are mostly from other languages?

I couldn't say I remember seeing a french clan while searching.

I seemed to find quite a few, and get attacked by a couple of Norweigans when in Norsk. Hardly a scientific study I know, but an observation. Not really tested it otherwise.

i don't think the theory is to find easier bases, just to find ones that are at unsociable hours with more offline.

I have a headache, and someone gives me a sugar pill. My headache goes away. Did the pill fix my headache?

It doesn't make a difference. BUT, it does change your global.
