LB Reform: The Metallicana Experiment

    I'm assuming Metalicana used full pots too. Which he did.
     
  2. Well I'm on android so that's not there. But if that's it then obviously the devs will just fix that slogan.
     
  3. Yes but full attack pots is 60m more then full def pots.

    I don't really care for the lb the ally lb is the true strength of a kingdom my overall is alot higher then my ally lb.

    99% of the time the ally LB is correct, but not in Metallicana's case because he is neither Bc or HC. Also he has no powerpack bonuses or reset bonuses.

    My beef is that if the ally LB is more accurate, then lets get rid of the overall then. Why do we need a LB that is totally innaccurate?
     
  5. @ snicker

    I didn't do the hitting myself, so I am not 100% certain what attack pots were used. I'll confirm with the build that did do the hitting and get back to you.
     
  6. Have you performed a similar test on kingdoms ranked 15 and 17, just to be a bit more "scientific?"
     
  7. The lb is point less with my stats I can hit everyone but would fail on most of top 20. But redstar is dts even tho he's not #1 overall
     
  8. @ touch me

    In war I have hit most everyone on the LB. In my experience most attack build LB players can stop a first attack hit by a person ranked in the 3000s. Spies fair better but it is still 50/50 with them.

    Os-Nckz and Redstar and impenetrable.
     
  9. I'd also argue that the adjective "powerful" is pretty dodgey and may be defined many subjective ways, depending on who you ask.
     
  10. @Ryujin

    Its there on the Iphone. Hope at the very least they change that wording.
     
  11. Umm... ummm... (Doesn't understand) I agree....?



    But this should be fixed, even if I don't fully understand. Haha
     
  12. @smighter

    In a nutshell, the devs have a system where your Leaderboard ranking is largely decided by how many actions you take, including spy actions. Because of this, a weaker build like Metallicana can maintain a very high ranking without actually being a very strong build at all.
     
  13. On your victory screens, it doesn't say "Your overwhelming might crushed your enemy."

    That means if you attempt another attack or steal, there's a good chance you'd fail.

    Now if ranks 15 and 17 gave you the message "The enemy forces were much stronger than you," then I could see the merit in your argument.

    There are also other factors to consider, which you haven't addressed, like troop level.

    I've taken down kingdoms more than 6 times my size, because I caught them with low troops and/or spies.

    I like where you're going with this though. Lets see if we can flesh it out a bit more and draw some more clearly defined boundaries and conditions. 
     
  14. Also please don't misunderstand. I think Metallicana is a strong build. Top 1000? Probably. Top 200? Maybe. But top 50? Not even close.
     
  15. Metallica at one point was top 10 for allies. He's trying to BC now so he's selling allies. I'm glad I have him as my owner lmao
     
  16. :roll: morik they changed the roll emoji?
     
  17. Thanks for simplifying it for me, my brain doesn't work too well at 2 in the morning
     
  18. @Touch me.

    I believe Metallicana was during his sleep time and therefore should have been full troops, assuming he was not being farmed at the moment. Problem is that the top 20 get farmed all the time, so it is hard to know if top troops or not.

    Also this is a war game, and I doubt the top 20 would willingly get hit for my experienment. One can dream, though. lol
