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.
