Hypothetically, let's say a player didn't care about their score, but wanted to minimize their opponent's. Does posting a single team serve that function, or has scoring been adjusted to give max points for empty battles? (In which case it would still impact ability to complete feats)

This is about as close to griefing as you could get in this game and should not be tolerated.

The best way to minimize their score is to post your very best teams on defense so they can't clear the board and get those points...

The "best" way is to set a defense in which your opponent cannot clear a single team.

However, if you do what you describe, it will give only points for the single win, and then the conquer bonus for each territory. They will win the round and get an additional 1k GAC points. They will miss out on feat progress and extra points from winning on offense, as well as credits.

Before the first real GAC, CG really needs to do something about this.

The easiest fix for this would be automatic victory of zones undefended. I don't know why this isn't the case.

Someone is getting screwed either way. If you give them max points then it’s unfair to people who are competing against those guys in the rankings.

I honesty don’t see any good way to make league advancement based on points earned in battle. I just hate it.
