Rework how you match opponents
I don't know what algorithm Plarium uses to match opponents in CvC / KvK, but it is warped. We always end up fighting a clan or kingdom with the same overall influence as ours, but they always seem to have fewer players, and major maxxed accounts. It makes it impossible for us to set any traps, or to attack their traps.
Our current CvC opponents have half their overall influence in one account. We only have two days to work out when he might be asleep.
