FAQ:

  • Q: How do you identify the strongest squads?
    A: We're not going to divulge that algorithm.
  • Q: When do you make this calculation?
    A: Currently, as of this post:
    Immediately after the 'Sign up Phase' we take a snap shot of ALL rosters in the Territory War.
    We use those 'snap shots' for the Territory War which locks all rosters for use in the war.
    We use the matchmaking algorithm.
    We begin the 'set defense' phase.
    This whole process takes a few seconds across the game, so you don't see it happen. You generally only see the defense phase start up.
  • Q: How does this affect upper tier guilds and deeper defensive squad requirements?
    A: Whether or not guilds are in the upper tier of matchmaking has nothing to do with their reward tier.
    There is a range of upper tiers in matchmaking that spans multiple uppper reward tiers that all qualify for the deeper defensive squad requirements.
    You could be in Reward Tier 2 or 3 and be in a TW that uses the deeper defensive squad requirements. It depends largely on your matchmaking calculation which is separate from reward tier.
  • Q: Does this mean our guild won't face higher reward tier guilds?
    A: No. Matchmaking does not consider reward tiers, only your guild's squads for the match making algorithm.
    Example: your guild is reward tier 4 and your matchmaking strength calculation is high, you could face a guild who is at reward tier 5 but low matchmaking strength.
    It's not common (for the vast majority of the game) but it can and likely will happen from time to time.
    Again, this is because Matchmaking strength does not consider Reward Tier at all.
