Probably a lot of people are gonna be kicked from clans they've never spoken with over this.

Wouldn't it be nice if the in-game communication was *adequate*?

Passed along both points to the CMs.

Yeah I'm a bit concerned, we've got 2 people in the clan who aren't very active yet put defense in the Stronghold.

Also, it seems a bit unfair that its Currency per Member instead of Total Currency for the start. Clans with 25 people are gonna have less Orbs and Florins to use, as well as fewer scrolls for attacking. That definitely needs to change. It should be a flat amount, divided among current members

I believe that is WAI, the clans of a few people and 12 alts are going to dissipate or just not be able to participate

I think incentivizing a full clan makes sense

Do u guys know if presets will work or what the starting points of seige wars will be? Or know someone who would know that info?

Yeah I had to drop the Req Player Power as a last ditch effort to fill the last 2 spots in my clan

A lot of smaller clans are looking to "merge" from what I'm seeing.   A good opportunity for solo clans to drop dead weight and cherry pick possibly. 

Another positive is seige may prevent some of the clan hopping being used to circumvent clash matchup process.  Just a thought, not sure how prevalent it is. But we had a clan go 30 to 1 on our opponent list once.

I wonder if, given the problems in both cvc and hydra with clans juggling members to manipulate the matchmaking process, the devs gave any thought whatsoever to preventing that with seige

and the answer is most definitely "no"

I think they fixed cvc to be based on the sum of the members, maybe a mod can confirm

as for siege, I have absolutely 0 understanding of how it works so no clue.  But with resources lost if you leave clan, seems some thought towards it

I believe that's right.

Though I *still* say clash should be based on your *all-time* best score on a particular rotation

agree, or a longer rolling average (truncated to exclude 2 lowert scores or something).  A "trimmed" mean is what I always called it

Yeah, CvC is based on sum of current members when matchmaking starts. No longer clan score.

Clash is still just clan score.
