I have engineered all our accounts to compensate for the un fair wars we have been given once in a while... Not to guarantee that we get easy wars that are impossible for the enemy to win...


In this example - supercell has taken OVER TEN HOURS to match us -- with a clan that is no more or less equal in war to us -- than clans that we have faced in the past- with only a 10 to 20 minute wait...


OTHER clans attempting 50x50 are also experiencing insane wait times -- many reports of 15+ hour waits with no match is just totally bull... I'm a member of one such clan that still has no match- 18 hours later.

In fact -- when looking at our offensive research.. we have multiple accounts with full town hall 10 attack power - MAX dragons - Max golems - level 5 hogs - max loons

Ten accounts with 5/5 heroes and 3 with 10/5 heroes...


The enemy? -- a couple of them have LEVEL 2 dragons -- a couple of them have a king unlocked around level 5... (zero queens)

Most of them have close to 200 camp slots unlocked (many of ours are 240+35 due to hybyrid designing)


-In effect - yes all of our accouts are WEIGHTED close... -- so IF the enemy had PROPER research - level 4 hogs, level 3 dragons -etc.. yes they could possibly score a perfect against us...

However-- the enemy's attack power is WEAK.. way too weak to have any chance to score 3 on our top 5 bases...

Add to it that - not only is the enemy offense weak - their defense is also weak... so our strong offense will crush them--

and you have a mis match...

in our favor...


THIS IS RARE... almost NEVER happens... every mis match we have had in the past has been in the enemys favor...


What this shows me -- is that supercell has NOT FIXED anything -- and now we get to wait TEN HOURS for a match that is no less fair than we had before...


I cant wait tilll the next round... another 10 hour wait and the enemy may very well be insanely stronger than we are... judging by this mis match - I imagine its still a revolving door...

So - yea - this war is easy.. but the next one will probably be bad bad bad...

I've voiced my complaints to supercell... it isnt rocket science to make sure the top 5 players in both wars are equal in ability...

I'm a member of another clan that is 18 hours plus and still no match- - many other reports of 50x50 wars are also not getting matches 10 plus hours in...

There is a BIG problem with the new matching system.

I totally agree that taking more than an hour or two is too long to get a match. Some are reporting more than 20 hours and that is insanely wrong. However, I think two things are evidence that they have fixed some things.

Your new match and the new one in Guilder are both even as far as weight, like you said, that almost never happens. This tells me they are in fact putting defensive weight as the highest matching criteria.

The second thing is actually this insanely long wait times. Yes, it is broken and needs to be fixed but they are no longer just throwing clans together, they are waiting until the new criteria are met.

I think once they iron out a few things you and I will both like the matching system.

I am hopeful, fingers crossed!

The enemy has made too many mistakes and can not get a perfect score at this point. some of their top players left without attacking - those remaining made too many mistakes.

This round our top few players were all high offense/low defense style - so easy to get a perfect score... didnt have any upside-down players in this war...

Enemy clan had no chance... their top players had awful weak research- even though our 'war weights' were evenly matched -- our offense was crazy high and theirs crazy low...

So-- with equal defenses... we won easily... most of our attacks used HALF of our army - to easily kill their bases... really low war loot for us; big loss on this war profit wise... but its another perfect...

took ELEVEN hours to get this match... Horrible new matching system with 50x50 taking too long. This war started in the midddle of my sleep time...

Enemy #1 was a rushed th10 - pair of infernos at 71k weight. our #1 was an engineered th10.5 at 66k weight... we slaughtered them.<br>

No clue why they choose to not attack.. they came off an 8 win streak...

War match was relatively fair - though enemy #1 was (again) a little higher in weight than ours - 65k weight...
Luckily our hyrids on top were up to the challenge; had 6 units left alive by the end... GoHoWipe with 4eq cleared it...
our top base is only 55k -- so its a slight mis match in the enemy favor... weight wise Research wise 1 to 1 are equal - but the enemy's entire clan below that is weak on offense... no chance really...

This war was started at an off time - 9am -- to attempt to compensate for the previous 10 hour war search time... it took only a few minutes to match... So we will be back on schedule Saturday afternoon - about 20 hours from now.

We have 8 spots open for new recruits;

If you look only at weights - the war was fair - again - if you consider offensive capability we win by a giant landslide... enemy was all rushed on offense; weak with no chance to 3 star our top bases without lots of gems...

Search only took a few minutes; im guessing supercell fixed the problems from the long war search times... Doing 50x50 is a bit of a hassle... last minute fill ups have been happening due to low clan member numbers... (low -- aka not full) lol

We have 8 spots open for new recruits; I'm using 12 accounts this round once again to fill us up...

21: You have 3 base designs available; in war you should build an Anti Air an Anti Hog and an anti Gowipe base; every war you should be able to quickly change your base to another solid design in case the enemy gets a spy in; or in case the enemy has research that will allow them to kill you easily (important for the top 5 players mostly) N/A

I would suggest that a farming Clan be created in the NightmareGuild group; one without wars - just farming... possibly a nightmareguild3 for farming? lol

ok man; your temporary rank is in effect- and will be permenant once you prove you can recruit - and interview / weed out a few players... Post the names of any recruits you get - (that are good) into groupme... so I can add them to the roster with you as their trainer.../aka recruiter (then if or when they foul up we can blame you lol)

Regarding the advanced units - i would expect you to request them once in a while if its convenient so that you can practice using them.. witches and things cost a fortune so i hope your a fast learner... lol if / when yuo want to practice using them - cook a Giant / wiz/healer/ whatever style ground war army - and use the cc advanced units as support troops in a proper way... -- goal is to keep that advanced unit alive through the entire attack... so in the end whatever it was -- is still alive and kicking... (and properly deployed as needed)
