No it doesn’t, but what is the point of evenly matching points if we aren’t even using our fleet? If we have the same character points and I have distributed my points differently so be it, or let me use my better fleet to gain an advantage, but pitting me against a bunch of people whether they have way more gear 12 players or way more gear 9 players doesn’t seem to be equitable. If we are only playing character combat then those are the only points that should count. But you are winning, so it doesn’t affect you. And I lost by 8 banners, not 11. With 100,000 more points on my characters, I may have been able to hem in 8 more points. I only lost one guy. May the odds be ever in your favor.
