Miss.. Not sure if it's one of my goals.. Finding out things I don't know is what drives me! . And dark, agree with everything you said.. Not an easy buy, and I assume or 'guess' a lot.. It just 'fits'! And I base the statement about the leader board being a rank of strength, and the over all leader board is ranked as 'the most powerful kingdoms'. So, 1 is more 'powerful' than number 2. How ATA decide that is the mystery! what we cannot argue with, is that in their eyes and by their rules, that is a fact.. I just want to figure out how they make their calculations, because it's based upon more than the stats we can see. I 'think'! Said all along, I just think these things..
You bring up another good point, the heading under overall LB. I've always had issue with that. It's misleading. "the most powerful kingdoms". It ought to be under the ally LB. Unless you are in fact right, and then through that weird formula of activity directly adds to strength could make the heading more appropriate. Who knows.. Nevertheless, good read, good thoughts. More threads should have this much time put into them.
A lot of interesting points and counterpoints! I've never considered some of the OP's theories as I've never desired desired to attain a spot on the leaderboard. But they do give one things to ponder over. Maybe some of the OP's ideas have merit or maybe it's just hot air? Aahh if only a hint from the devs!! And lordpepsi stop trying to derail threads with your feeble attempts at correcting grammar and punctuation. It's annoying and unnecessary.
Congrats on ur thought process and a decent write op but while game mechanics may seem difficult to understand they really don't have to b so complex. yes u are right to be on LB fights play a part however as to winning or loosing the amount u may or may not have won in the past make little difference. Success is based on bfa, pots, mith ect as u stated. I see no supporting evidence to the contrary so far! So I agree with missb and strategy
