Rival Brackets???

[moneybags]

So I had 6 allies and could see rivals with 1-25 alliances. I just bumped up to 10 allies and now the rivals list has a range from 4-26 alliances. I just added 5 more allies and can see rivals with 8-32 alliances. At such low alliance levels it makes a huge difference how many you have. It doesn't make any sense have brackets where people with 2 allies can battle with people that have up to 25 alliances. Ive been noticing this because I have strong units and have a hard time losing a battle against people with equal alliances but I have been being attacked by rivals that have twice my alliances. I can not compete with them unless I have the most expensive gold units available!!


Has anyone else figured out the rival numbers or some way to overcome this??

it gets worst as you get higher in level at L90 with 18 allies i could see from 1-80ish

That's strange. I've only been able to see a narrow range of two or three levels with a second player I have.

Cheiz started a thread on this a few days ago. I was at 171 allies and could see a range from 145-210 and its now bumped up to 270 so i had to use my pending allies to go up close to 220 or i would have got whopped

Just because you can see them doesn't mean they can see you...I think. Though that wouldn't be very fair. Maybe a better way to put it is if one person at a higher ally count can see you doesn't mean everyone with that ally count can see you. I regularly defeat rivals with 20 or more allies than I have, but rarely am I attacked by rivals with higher ally counts/much bigger numbers. Of course I'm in the mid-level range so mechanics are probably different.
