Since walls don't affect most war attacks, which use dragons or hogs, I was thinking my clan should advise members not to upgrade walls, so that our average base strength will be lower and the matchmaking software will give us weaker opponents. But first I'd like to know how much walls increase our strength score, because if it's only a little bit, it is probably better to upgrade walls to protect resources during the normal game.
Does anyone have any info about this? Thanks.
I searched for info on how base strength is calculated. I could only find info on what factors were considered, but nothing to do with the weight given to each factor. If anyone knows, please share, and if not, SC needs to publish it so we can plan our upgrades better.
Spelling counds!
Troops, Heroes, Walls, Defenses, spells, All count on the match with another clan
Walls count more than you think. Plus, once you get to TH8, and higher, walls play a huge role in preventing 3 stars. I would NEVER tell my clan to not upgrade walls.
I agree that walls are important, but the question is really how much high level walls factor into matchmaking.Quote:

If walls count very little toward overall base strength, wouldn't it make MORE sense to upgrade them?
Yes it would.Quote:
