  1. Hey debate can I get a breakdown of the bfa from war 11 between warlor hellhounds and murderwar, thanks
     
  2. For those of you asking for breakdowns on specific wars, I am going to repost something I wrote for Empire (apology in advance if reposting is bad forum form):

    Any breakdown from Devs will show it is within their parameters for a "fair" match. Problem is one of definition - to most of us a "fair" match would mean either side would have approximately a 50% chance of winning if they fought equally well. In KAW terms, "fair" means simply that: the number warring and aggregate stats are approximately the same and bfa is within a large tolerance (300%).

    Currently when Devs create match-ups they greatly over-value troop strength (alternatively undervalue towers and bfa), they fail to account for the plunder impact of guilds, and ignore bfe completely. While with low amounts of bfa it may be possible to have interesting wars with high differences in bfa, even when I am nearly full and they nearly empty I can't hit someone with 50% my BFA (let alone 300%), so while that constitutes a "fair" matchup, it would be practically impossible for me to win.

    So clans with lots of bfa and bfe almost always win - because they win they are getting stronger through even better equipment. Furthermore, some high bfa/bfe clans are even careful who they match with and not to try to match up with one another. There is really nothing that can be done about that; I suggest you simply accept it as part of KAW and try to have fun with it best you can.
