    Change to the "Strength" algorithm in clan wars?

    We started a clan war yesterday and noticed that several player ranks had changed without any major upgrades being completed on those bases. Has anyone else noted a difference in how they calculate player ranking for war?

    The war we started on Tuesday was normal. I don’t see any announcements or patches in the last two days.

    I haven't noticed any changes, but I don't know what you mean by "major changes". Any changes can cause a re-ordering.

    If the bases are close enough in rank a trap upgrade or a hero upgrade will do it. Or any defensive upgrade. Did anybody start building xbows by chance? These are a HUGE upgrade in war ranking and you will jump quite far if your behind others without them.

    I wouldconsider upgrading a TH or adding a new XBOW to be a major change. Upgradingcannon from L10 to L11 is minor.

    In one case aplayer jumped ahead of another without completing any upgrades in the last twoday. Those two bases haven't changed ranks in months.

    No. Thats whats so strange. One example is a a base that is noticibley lower in defence jumped up one spot without any upgrades being completed.

    The war ranking doesn't change arbitrarily. Something shifted the balence.

    I once upgrades my dark elixir storage and went up 3 spots on the war map because a few of us were really closely ranked.
    12: 65/65/40;64/63/39;58/63/34;60/60/30
    11:50/50/20;47/50/20; 50/50/20;50/50/20

    If the players have very similar scores anything can make them switch position - a single wall segment can do it. A hero upgrade can easily do it.

    One example is a a base that is noticibley lower in defence jumped up one spot without any upgrades being completed.
    Are you sure nothing was changed - not even a wall?

    And to answer your question - no we haven't seen this. Not only the order, but IIRC the individual scores on our bases have been almost totally unchanged the last 3 wars, even with 2 or 3 accounts that have very different upgrades but come to very similar scores.
