    Upcoming WD Matching Changes!

    We are making a few modifications based on player feedback that we hope will improve future World Domination events and create a better experience for you all.

    Faction matching: We are tweaking a few configurations with how factions are matched. We expect these changes will achieve 2 goals: to create better matches and increase variety of the matches. Before, there were a few particularities with the algorithm that would occasionally result in very strong factions being paired against very weak factions, as well as some factions battling the same rival faction over and over. We hope that our changes will create more fair fights as well as reduce the incidence of repeat matching.

    While we can't reveal our "secret sauce" for matching factions, we can say that this new system will take into account average faction strength, the number of faction members, and the number of WD points your faction has earned, as well as a few other factors, and as always, some degree of randomness.

    Perhaps you can now limit the amount of times we see the same faction to no more than twice??

    Hopefully this will prevent our larger faction from coming across these small super mini streak teams. I'm not hating on them, it just gets old hitting only the Command Center. :/

    Thank you for the information GEMH!

    So has this algorithm been thoroughly tested or are we going into a war weekend on blind faith that it will work as theoretically intended? Not trolling, valid question in my opinion based on previous algorithm tweaks.

    The new changes have been tested, and are in fact live in Kingdom Age and Crime City. The responses to the changes in those games has been positive.

    If the streak teams get pushed up to fight factions with players more their own stats, then they will face full factions, with no hope of winning. The problem becomes who do you please? I'd say err on the side of the majority. Possibly mix it up where they get some some of both, which I believe they already do. There's no perfect so,union, and I'm sure every faction knows the perfect solution for just themselves.
