Heavily engineered clans may well kill clan wars!!

It is clear Supercell agrees with your sentiments, as do I. While it is an interesting exercise to reverse engineer the algorithms used for matching through a quasi-analytical scheme like the one Humbob used, once the results are obtained the clan should be shut down. This game is not meant to be a tool for boosting self esteem, instead it should be an entertaining test of one's gaming abilities.

Where and how did you get the notion of how this game "should" be played or enjoyed? Not meant for boosting self esteem? A test of one's gaming abilities? Go play Dark Souls III to test your "gaming" abilities.

He is just trying to say my victories are hollow, which they usually are, only because overcoming odds is how true victories are made! (Except Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps and guys like that)

Using fluffy bunnies was killing clan wars, because anyone could do it if they wanted to take the necessary steps. Making defenseless accounts worth anything takes either thousands of dollars or a lot of time spent farming. It's not something anyone can do. And to make one that can 3* a th10(which is the only way they're really a significant advantage, means you need some pretty strong heroes. That's not easy to do if you have no way to protect what you've earned.

Hopefully Supercell succeeds in thwarting any attempts by so-called engineers to exploit the game. Play to have fun, not to prove something.

Play to have fun? yea... and also play to prove something... to prove your the best! Why else would you play anything if you arent trying to be the best?

The best at what? -- well that depends on what you see as interesting in the game... Most people think high trophy counts and leader boards are way to go... I could care less..

I see a totally green war log - with nothing but perfect max stars every time - as being the best.-- especially if your clan can do that in record time each war...


Kobold; I dont see your clan - or your name at least in any of the many dark assassin clans.. i was gonna talk to u in game. add your clan tag... cause a million clans have that name - and level 3 perks ♥♥♥♥

I run NightmareGuild - our engineering is working great.

6 hour search times this past week have messed with us a bit.. but in the end - they are all 'fair' matches weight to weight... (aka we slaughter them and they struggle to tie us at best)

We enjoy stomping wimps and sheep - we do speed wars... racing for fast attack times. Once I have 50 perfect max 150 star war in a row -- and a war tht is 100% finished in 10 minutes or less i'll be content.


Currently we have 26 perfect wars in a row... and our best war time is 44 minutes for all 150 stars.


We each play the game the way WE want to play it... and I have found a niche' that many people like... speedy attacks - fast wars - and low weight account engineering.

Sure, Dark Assassins, level 5 clan, Canada, #90uqjgjc, 17 accounts, soon to be retired. My main clan is hitting clan level 10 in a few weeks, and I'm retiring from the game this week.

I do admit that low level war weight clans ARE NOOBS.
My friends clan had 10 active members, rest were inactive townhall 3-5, yet they won 2/3 wars, that's how bad the other clans were... until I left and made my own clan... lol

My main clan is different than the clan I'm sharing with you all. I'm not warring with Dark Assassins anymore, until the next update when my main clan needs to see what is going on.

The beauty of Clash, and many things in this world, is that results can be extrapolated.

Main clan 3 wars from level 10. Is that not the end of the game?

you have me confused with someone else, certainly the hardest analysis of matching wasn't done by me, I was an observer, perhaps an astutue one, but I never bothered much with calculating the weight of individual things.

as for my old clan, it matched a mix of th10s-th7s, pretty standard fare, we had no defenseless, no th3s, nothing lightweight except at times th7s because it was an all ages fam n friends clans and kids tended to be th7s and 8s.

This posting may be a long time ago but to me the probem is getting worse. Wars with TH10s matched with TH7s? Cyber geeks and virus fanatics try to beat the system. This is a GAME designed for the average joe who wants to play this game at the end of a long day at work, or escape the pressure of college work. Slowly maybe, but surely, those keen game players will leave the game and leave only the technophobes. Will they want to buy gems, continue revenue to Supercell? It seems very likely a higher percentage of them will be looking for the weaknesses in the Supercell security and create yet more bots and mods. Most of my clan are giving up the game. Some have gone to CR, but many are just leaving, I won't be far behind them! Shame☹️
