Yeah it's all abt spy activity and your build from what I know. I'm no where near making an appearance on the ally lb. And your value definately doesn't effect the overall lb
TMH has the gyst of it. I believe that rank on other LBs is an input but not a dominant factor. Overall strength (bldgs + ally bonus) is clearly the most dominant factor, but less so after spy stats were added. It is still impossible to tell which spy stats matter (steals vs scouts vs assassinations). I suspect that win vs loss ratio also has an impact. TP got his rank with a combination of max building power & ally strength. I have wondered whether ally strength actually gets double counted from both rank on ally LB as well as total power (best measured in clan rankings). In the end though it's difficult to prove any of this as the devs are careful not to reveal their algorithms - rat bastards.
Value does hold weight n overall % is low but it does count. I was before resets #64 overalll #30 ally #150 battle #300-325 value. I was roughly 18bill full build 2 spy guilds then got a volley to 32bill and beside leaping from 1k on value to 300-325 not much changed beside my overall which went from #73 to 64.
Well we know their LB cacluations is favored to those who buys noblility. So buy alot of nobility and see your overall go way up. Ask KOW or TP or Sunwindson or Alphacentury or Majesty. Lol
IMO The Overall Top50 is messed up to begin with it hasn't been consistent since ppl that buy a Lot of nobility been on the LB. I remember DM and XYZ use to battle it out for top Spot. I used to be on regularly on the Top50 b4 now the formulas seem to change to Jus overall Strength if build and ur ally Strength. The Devs say that experience factors in the Top50 but, I don't see that at all. I know a lot of players that was on the Top50 now barely can get on it like how I do. So IMO Top50 LB is jacked
I got to #17 a couple weeks ago and i don't buy nobility. Sorry, but despite people's bitterness at being knocked down a few pegs there is still more to this game than $ spent. Some who rank high in battles are stubborn about not supplementing their position with spy wins (you know who you are). When at 17 on overall I was around 34 on allies and 25 on battles. I'm certain that my playing a mix build for most of my history in KaW & always spending my spies regardless of how little they earned is why I can still hit the teens on the overall lb.
Yea those were the old days. Perfect example was XYZ who never spent a dime on the game. Yet made 1st for a few weeks. then I took first for many months. Now he not even on anything I don't think. But. My point is since new calculations the people that don't spend money fell in rankings and people that spend mass amounts jump high right off the bat. That's to keep those people pumping mass dollars into nobility. There rewardn is high spots on LB
If ppl have no confidence in the LB ranking formula, then it is a beauty contest. If u know the judge, u ar a winner. I think someone should volunteer to make an unofficial LB based on a known formula, that everyone can trust.
DM, explain how shadowprincess is on the LB then. She doesn't purchases massive nobs hence her not being on the ally LB and has fewer wins then you. Yet she is ranked higher than you. Simply put, she's a dedicated kaw player that uses her spies. Cheers
DM, change ur spy tower to guilds. I think the spies activity does make a difference. Lot of NAL players made it to the lb during the nal-Hollow war due to spy activity. Though TP had only 3000 wins, his spy wins must be enormous since the Hollow spies were on him all the time.
I believe wins factor in a lot also. I have a pretty mixed build and I'm only 114 in ally lb rank. I moved up 9 spots in top 20 when they added in successful spy attempts.
I highly doubt value matters I'm worth 29b I think I'm the cheapest one on overall lb and yet I'm higher than ppl on the ally lb
Just to add on, spy stats have to play a higher roll then we gave credit. For example it's clear overall strength plays a major factor yes... Taking this into a account Dchansen hit I believe 6-8 on overall not too long ago, while his Allies at the time where much lower. Now the point I'm trying to make is spy stats have to be important than we credit. Hansel style builds are by no means pure stats yet Weve had atleast 2 recently on overall.
