The Battle for Brazil is almost upon us. This event, the first of the World Domination events, will start at 9 AM PST on 1/18 and end Wednesday 1/23 at 12 noon PST.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support and feedback, and also to offer some helpful tips to get the most out of the event:


The Matching System:

During the event, your faction will be able to Declare War. Doing this will tell the system "We're ready for a fight", and the system will start looking for another faction to pair you with. Declaring war will cost one fortification. The system looks at the following to determine an appropriate foe:

1: The overall strength of your faction: The sum of your faction's power will be compared to the sum of the other faction's power when looking for potential match-ups.

2: The Faction's WD Rank: This is based on how well you are doing in the contest.

3: How many match-ups you have had with the guild during the event.

The system will spend 20 minutes looking for a match-up. As this time goes on, the parameters will relax slightly. If a match-up is not found in 20 minutes, your guild will have to declare war again and the system will start looking again.

When a match-up is made, a special UI will come up that will allow you to attack the other faction's members (starting with the defense leader if he has not been defeated). You will have one hour after the match-up starts to attack the other faction, during which time the other faction will also be attacking you. For this reason, it is very important to coordinate war declarations with your faction to maximize the number of people online during an attack.


What to do in the case of a difficult match-up:

Due to the above system, you may face a variety of overall power levels (although they should be fairly close, especially as the event goes on). If you get a difficult match-up, you can attack the Command Center of the other faction instead of the players. This will result in less points per attack, but remember that it will take more than a single match-up to decide the Battle for Brazil. The winning factions will be the ones that have the most World Domination points at the end, which means the prizes for this event will ultimately go to the most dedicated and best organized.


A new update will be required to see the event tomorrow:

You will have to download a new update to participate, and that update is currently being prepped (i.e. it is not in the App Store yet). As soon as it is released, we will post on the forums to announce it so that everyone can download the update.


If anyone has any additional questions, I will do my best to answer them today.

So we have gone from a 72 hour event to 5 days?
I dunno how many people prepped for 72 hours worth of forts.

So we could be stuck trying to find a match for hours upon end. If he system doesn't find a games first time it's more than likely not the next time.

Plus the matching basically says one of the worst factions could win as they will be fighting just as bad factions. We could have a really bad faction winning this in my eyes.

CJ, will be able to purchase additional fortifications throughout the event -- particularly now that it will start sooner & last much longer than originally anticipated? We had always been told that this was a 3-day battle starting 1/19.

Also, does the Defense Leader need to be in-game for the battle, or can a designated faction defense leader be selected for the entire run, even when they are not in-game?

Can the defense leader counter-attack? If the other team's defense leader still stands, can your defense leader be among those attacking the other team's defense leader? Would doing so weaken your defense leader, making him easier to defeat?

Can members join the attack mid-war (say 15 minutes after it starts, or must they all start together)? Can they leave & re-enter (like in the boss events)?

CJ:

Can you Confirm that we will be able to purchase Upgrades and Fortifications During the Event?

Does it matter who wins/looses an individual battle? Obviously the winner accumulated more points but do they get anything for that?

Since this will be based on Health will our health start at 100% at the start of each battle? Or will we have to wait a certain amount of time for it to re-charge like the Boss Battles?

How are WD Points Calculated? Lets say the fortifications are down and the Defense Leader is Defeated. Do i get more point for attacking Opponents that are Stronger or does it not matter? Is it based on my attack only?

Declaring war will cost one fortification ... If a match-up is not found in 20 minutes, your guild will have to declare war again and the system will start looking again.

So will a fortification be used up if war is declared and a match-up isn't found?

And wow, was expecting this to just be a weekend event, but running it through Wednesday is going to be pretty intense.

If you get booted from the system, will the "Declaring war" still cost 1 fortification? That would seem kind of unfair.

Well here is my 2cents:

Seems the strategy to pummel your opponents should be very simple considering the match-ups are based on overall strength (assuming that is the strength level at moment you declare war).

As I see it all you need is for each member to have few thousand allies requests in reserve. Drop allies down before each battle and then after the battle starts take about 5-10 minutes to up allies and then crush every opponent. That is assuming Gree didnt factor in extrapolating the army strength of each player in a faction at max allies (I'm betting they didn't or can't). Probably be good idea to leave defense leader at max strength to give others in faction time to beef up.

I could be wrong but I guess everyone can let me know how it went when it's over. :)

In answer to a couple of questions:

-Fortifications are only used when the war between two factions officially starts, so it won't cost you one if the system can't find anybody in 20 minutes.

-The defense leader doesn't have to be online during the attack, he just has to be appointed. If he is online, he can attack the other defense leader like any other player. His shields start at 100 every round. The faction vs. faction UI does include a health meter like the epic boss for attacks, that replenishes at 1 per minute.

-You don't get more points for attacking a stronger opponent (or a weaker one, for that matter). Good strategy would be to coordinate your hits.

Remember, the system weights for WD points, too. This strategy may or may not work in a limited fashion (we'll be interested to see, too), but you may find yourself suddenly matched up against strong opponents while you're weak, and if they unload in full force while you're back in another screen accepting those allies...

Call me suspicious, but I'm thinking part of the reason the event got extended to five days and moved up was because many factions already had or were close to having 72 level 10 forts, and that, my friends, is not good for business. Just like some new boosts were introduced because some factions were maxed out, or close to maxing out, on their upgrades. Extending the inaugural run--especially of a buggy, untestested piece of software that, by the admission of the company that made it, was not ready for prime time (thus the reason for the initial delay)--makes no sense otherwise. This is all about maximizing cash flow, even if it means the event itself may be completely fubar. I for one expect a seething mass of angry comments in the forum come Wednesday evening. Sorry for being a party pooper, but I had to get this off my chest.

It would appear that a low level, low stat faction could easily score a lot of WD points depending on their auto selected match-ups. Might be a lot of sleepy people after this marathon event is over. No sleep for those that are to be Victorious!

Edit:
Which based on CJs latest comment, the accumulation of WD points could apparently get you pummeled in the later rounds when selections could easily get you thrown in the ring with a monster faction. Ooopsy :) I can't wait to hear all about it.

You stated that an update is required to play the Battle for Brazil, & it is not in the App Store yet. What about our Android players? Will that same required update be available in the Google Play Store for them at approximately the same time as ios users are able to update?

Gree has been notoriously consistent in lagging behind (sometimes massively) in having android & ios users play the same events, etc. (not to mention all the extra glitches). So, I don't think my concerns are at all unfounded.

CJ,

You mention that the individual stats of the attackers play a role when attacking, but is it going to be like a boss event?

For example, someone at level 160 with the same stats of somebody at level 90, does not get the same boss to fight. The boss is usually easier for the person at level 90 than the person at level 160, even though their stats are the same.

So will the fortifications/command center/rivals be set up in the same way, where 2 people with the same stats, but at different levels will not get the same outcome?

V/R,

Maybe CJ will answer but as I have understood from other comments he has made:
Once the defense leader is taken down, anyone in the faction is fair game to be attacked at that point. If your faction declares war, and you aren't online, defense leader goes down, you can be attacked.

Very happy to hear no casualties will take place during this. Always wondered what having the no no glitch would feel like.

I hope that's the case, but the answer only referred to casualties from attacking fortifications and communication centers. I don't believe CJ has suggested there will be no casualties from the attacks between players during the battles. I'm inclined to think that casualties are likely during player on player battle attacks, given the very expensive casualty boost bonus available for purchase by the factions.

BigD@wg
01-17-2013, 08:35 PM
CJ did answer my question regarding casualties in a different thread. His post above was pertaining only to attacks on fortifications and command centers. He stated previously that defense leaders will endure casualties but be buffered slightly since they will endure all the initial attacks. Once the defense leader is defeated, the other members are exposed. When a player is directly attacked they can and/or will endure casualties (not buffered). He said standard PVP casualty rates will apply (unless that has changed since couple days ago).

The Battle for Brazil is almost upon us. This event, the first of the World Domination events, will start at 9 AM PST on 1/18 and end Wednesday 1/23 at 12 noon PST.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support and feedback, and also to offer some helpful tips to get the most out of the event:


The Matching System:

During the event, your faction will be able to Declare War. Doing this will tell the system "We're ready for a fight", and the system will start looking for another faction to pair you with. Declaring war will cost one fortification. The system looks at the following to determine an appropriate foe:

1: The overall strength of your faction: The sum of your faction's power will be compared to the sum of the other faction's power when looking for potential match-ups.

2: The Faction's WD Rank: This is based on how well you are doing in the contest.

3: How many match-ups you have had with the guild during the event.

The system will spend 20 minutes looking for a match-up. As this time goes on, the parameters will relax slightly. If a match-up is not found in 20 minutes, your guild will have to declare war again and the system will start looking again.

When a match-up is made, a special UI will come up that will allow you to attack the other faction's members (starting with the defense leader if he has not been defeated). You will have one hour after the match-up starts to attack the other faction, during which time the other faction will also be attacking you. For this reason, it is very important to coordinate war declarations with your faction to maximize the number of people online during an attack.


What to do in the case of a difficult match-up:

Due to the above system, you may face a variety of overall power levels (although they should be fairly close, especially as the event goes on). If you get a difficult match-up, you can attack the Command Center of the other faction instead of the players. This will result in less points per attack, but remember that it will take more than a single match-up to decide the Battle for Brazil. The winning factions will be the ones that have the most World Domination points at the end, which means the prizes for this event will ultimately go to the most dedicated and best organized.


A new update will be required to see the event tomorrow:

You will have to download a new update to participate, and that update is currently being prepped (i.e. it is not in the App Store yet). As soon as it is released, we will post on the forums to announce it so that everyone can download the update.


If anyone has any additional questions, I will do my best to answer them today.

This is basically giving strong factions no advantage at all. Players with hundreds of thousands of attack and defense will be matched up with players just as strong, making all pf their hard work pointless. This allows weak players to do just as good as strong dedicated players. Bogus

Those are the same rules as the PvP tournaments, and somehow the strong still survived. In fact, the strong still have the edge here in later rounds when WD points start to factor in more than stats.

Ok so if it's normal casualty rates, this will be devastating. One thing I don't understand is how the individual player levels will come into play. In a War after the defense leader is defeated, everyone can attack any player on the other side right? So a level 200 player can make quick work of a level 50 player. Imagine those unit loses.

I wonder....

If the players in the war are taken out of the main game or if they will be susceptible to attacks from there as well?

If the twenty hit maximum applies or could a player be pummeled for the entire hour if the opposition chose to do so?

Mmm, and what do we do if 9 am pst ones with no update? Lets all agree to start the war in the game, and everyone attack everyone all at the same time. Oh, we already do that.

Not that you will need it, but good luck to you and your faction SPEEDY!

Hey all, some more answers from one of the head developers:

Q: CJ you still have not answered if fortifications and bonuses can be purchased while the event is on, or even while a war is underway with another faction.

A: Factions can purchase new walls/fortifications whenever. However, if you are currently in a war and do not have a fortification, purchasing one will not apply it to that war.


Q: CJ additional questions about new bonuses. If I read your response right the new bonuses will affect on the stats of individual factions members. Our faction bought several of these bonuses, but stats of the members did not change. Could you please clarify these issue?

A: should see the increased stats in their Battle Results after they get the update.


Q: Can you Confirm that we will be able to purchase Upgrades and Fortifications During the Event?

A: Yes, you just can't upgrade the fortification you are currently using in a war.


Q:Does it matter who wins/looses an individual battle? Obviously the winner accumulated more points but do they get anything for that?

A: They don't get anything besides the WD points, but that is the point: to accumulate WD points.


Q: Since this will be based on Health will our health start at 100% at the start of each battle? Or will we have to wait a certain amount of time for it to re-charge like the Boss Battles?

A: No, health will be the same as for epic bosses, and regenerate 1 per minute.


Q: If i have a higher attack then i have the potential to get more WD points in PVP right?

A: You do in the sense that you are more likely to beat your opponent. But that won't affect how many points you get. Higher attack will however result in more damage to fortifications/command centers, and thus result in more points from attacking those targets.


Q: So will the fortifications/command center/rivals be set up in the same way, where 2 people with the same stats, but at different levels will not get the same outcome?

A: There is no splitting by level for the World Domination event.


Q:Are we able to attack any player in the faction we are battling, or only those who are in-game at the time?

A: Any player in the faction can be attacked.


Q: Does the main defender's personal defense strength get used at all before the 100 defense points are used up?

A: The defense leader's defense still determines whether he wins or loses a fight (which determines how fast those defense points go down.)


Concern: This is basically giving strong factions no advantage at all. Players with hundreds of thousands of attack and defense will be matched up with players just as strong, making all of their hard work pointless. This allows weak players to do just as good as strong dedicated players.

A: Strong factions have the advantage of doing more damage to the fortifications, thereby increasing their capacity to earn points. And factions will be matched up by both strength and rank, so even if a weaker faction gets high up in the rankings, it should eventually start getting matched up with stronger factions.


Also, please note that although one of the pop-ups says the event starts at noon, the actual start time is 9 AM as stated in the first post.

Just posted over in the other thread, but wanted to let you know here too:

A big part of the reason Android tends to come out a little later is due to the fact that there's about 100 devices compared to about a tenth of that number, and we do our best to make sure new features work across all those devices whenever possible.

In this case, this is the first time we've released a brand new feature for Android/iOS at just about the same time, so we're monitoring that carefully. We can't wait on both because the way the system is currently set up, we have to deploy iOS first (that's why even for established stuff, droid tends to be 1-2 hours later).

Milspec1
01-18-2013, 09:37 AM

It has to do with the way we built Android onto the existing framework; it's something that we have been steadily working on to the point that we've gotten it down to a ridiculously shorter time than it used to be (when we first launched MWA, we had to hold separate events a week apart), and it's something we'll keep working on. We definitely understand the importance here of getting it out as close to each other as possible, and we're working on it.

Our faction has the same problem CJ. Does the matching algorithm take into account the time that war was declared? If so, are most factions stuck in a long queue due to an unusually large number of almost simultaneous requests? If this is the case, how long will it take to clear the queue.

Sir, I did. But somewhere in the time i read the update from cj, and noon....someone got twitchy I guess. No worries there...i got on my faction about that as well. It's a communication issue...it trickles down. We got it late from Gree....my faction got it late from me.

I was never given the option to declare our defense leader! I'm positioned as the d-leader without ever electing it, and I have a weak defense considering others in my faction. How do I choose my defense leader?!

Nevermind; I figured it out. Apparently you have to select him/her in the member tab in the faction area, then "Edit" them, and then select them as the defense leader. Where is the actual directions to do this, or is it supposed to be hidden and difficult on purpose? A suggestion...make it part of the declaring war UI.

Also, could the game designers please fix the issue that occurs when trying to delete posts.

Yes, we were making it so that you could see the faction bonuses showing up in your attack stats, and now it's throwing all kinds of crazy stuff. Bad time for that bug, we're working on a fix.


Could I respectfully ask that next time you explain the situation with android at the beggining, before the deadline passes and everyone starts wondering where the update is.

You know how highly strung we can be about suprises like this.

Yes, I will endeavor to.

Already having participation issues. I am in horseman of doom faction, I updated my phone this morning just like the forum said. I clicked the world domination match and that is where I encounter the issue. My leader was in a battle and I could the participate because the battle options didn't appear on tab. Where can I post this bug issue to see if it can be fixed.

Dude really? Off your high horse please. You think I didn't do so? Do you think all 28 members were present when I said so? CJ didn't say a word about a delay until mere minutes before noon! Don't give me that crap. And if you don't have anything else t say that is going to help the situation, please refrain from quoting me because you're just adding th=o the problem. I have a right to be upset, I voiced it, Im damn near over it. But I don't need your self serving comments to continue to piss me off because you can play and I can't. Until you know what I have and have not done for my faction, please STFU! And thank you for your non helpful advice!Take some personal responsibility in something. Not everything is someone else's fault. Only you can put yourself into a situation like this.

My faction hasn't had any issues with people jumping the gun. So it's obviously not Gree's fault. Maybe you recruited poorly, maybe your communication was poor; I don't know. In any case, it does no good to complain about a situation you created. Man up, brother, because life is much harder.

So we have to attack blindly in battle, but if we lose, our mismatched opponents can pummel us relentlessly via their newsfeed until we drop off? This needs to be removed. We can't see their stats to make an informed decision during battles. How are the low level, low stat players supposed to know they've just hit a powerhouse?

Just to check, this may not be a bug. The individual stats are not displayed on the main UI, that is intentional, you have to communicate with your faction to find the weak link. If you're seeing a bunch of players with the same name, that means they all have the same name.

If you're only seeing two people in the faction though (regardless of name/stats) that is weird and you can send me a screenshot. Last I saw, it grays out everyone except the defense leader when the defense leader is up.

We had warning after warning, yet it happened to us. It's possible. At least in our case we're almost all iOS. I think ability to declare should have been a privilege the leader could grant members as he/she saw fit.

We might miss the 12 PM time by a bit depending on that process, will update if we get an ETA (go Google, go!)LOL! Why start something when you don't have all of the available updates for everyone to begin by start time. That goes without saying that I still can't even see a faction on my Kindle Fire because your updates are so buggy that Amazon won't approve them. You guys are really new to this game development business aren't you? And while I'm ranting why don't one of you guys at least answer one of the 6 tickets I've sent you? Some are a month old now.

I'll send a screenshot in a bit when we are back at war. Just to be clear I am referring to not being able to see the stats of the players IN my faction. I don't even know how many wins or WD points I have myself unless I write them on a piece of paper and add them up, let alone what the battle stats are for anyone else in my faction.

I realize that not being able to see the stats of the faction we are fighting is a feature.

CJ, is there any chance the timer on the battle page when you are at war could show time left in the current 1 hr battle rather than the 5 day countdown clock? We have to go back to our own team pg to see how much time is left in the current war.

Also, any shot at getting our time to regen before able to fight again showing like it does when you try to fight the boss too soon. All we get is the 5 day countdown on that screen ,too, which again is useless.

@ CJ: You guys are so sneaky making the health bar refil appear in the exact same position as the attack button. With the lag from constantly trying to keep the app refreshed it is VERY EASY TO HIT REFILL UNINTENTIONALLY. Don't worry though, I put that few hundred gold to good use scoring points, but just wanted to point out that it mayresult in some complaints.
