My clan & I agree that it is unfair to count siege generated points 3 times during the CvC or even 2 times as no other points are counted as such, nor should they be. It is unfair & stupid. How can we opt out since none of us really have an interest in participating in the CvC events as long as this is the case?

I am sorry to hear that the current Clans Battle functionality does not satisfy you, virg. This feedback has been forwarded further🙏

Stay tuned!

Virg: It is not just CVC ...  KVK, Fury, and all troop killing competitions are all won and lost by those that conduct the most successful sieges.

pipkin, im sure plarium is very happy with 'your' comment, but seeing as how you joined 3 yrs b4 i did, im sure you are much farther ahead of me & mine, since things have changed ALOT. also this was not meant to solicit another reply from you, thank you.

I agree with Virg - I lead a clan of about a dozen players but we can't win CVC these days because of the CVC scoring set up. We keep getting paired up with single player clans - one 3 trillion influence player against a group where noone is above 1 trillion.  We basically give up before we start because there is no way we can match our enemy's siege points.   They just have to show up for 2 hours during the competition and there's nothing we can do about it.

Please change the CVC scoring so we at least have a fighting chance.  It's very boring otherwise.

I agree, these 1 man clans are killing the game for the smaller clans, there is noway our 3 or 4 players can beat someone bigger than all of us combined in cvc ..... usually they do nothing for 2 & 3/4 days then wander in & wave the CC a couple of times to beat us

Thank you for your feedback, Jarls! I have forwarded it to our specialists. 

By the way, xyz, we didn't banish any Invader from the Global Map. If you face such an issue again, please forward your request to the Support Team. They will check your Kingdom and will bring the Invaders back 😎 

No invaders are banned in the game, however, due to the choice of the King of Jotunheim, invaders are sometimes repeated, here you are right. And all Invaders allowed to be chosen, there is no any restrictions :)

Yes, that's true. I have forwarded your comment as a suggestion to our specialists 😇

Single player clans pitted against multiplayer clans of the same total influence will usually win the 3 seige brackets as well as troop training, due to higher level troops (t7&8). That's the four required for victory every time, regardless of how hard the multiplayer clan works on killing inv/ghosts and yielding rss. And it only takes a couple lvl35-40 building upgrades to outpace a clan with smaller building upgrades available. That leaves it at 1:5.

In these cases, the only way for the smaller clan to win is to pour TONS of real $$$ into the game..... oh wait, perhaps that is the whole idea, lol....and  it still guarantees nothing.

The game is not so exciting as to spend my rent money on it, so I am attempting an end around move and will share the results at a later date. 

In the mean time, on topic, if any new players in or able to Drakkar to Kingdom #757, please look me up. I have started a brand new open clan looking to train new players on early level game dynamics and how to get a running start. 

Thank you for your openness, abcduh. I have forwarded your feedback to the developers regarding the game functionality 😇

Unless a player is a big time spending money bag the developers care not in the least what lower tier players say or think. This is a pay to win game that takes no skill nor strategy to play. How deep is your wallet << that what matters and the only thing that matters.

I think our latest oponent has taken the mismatch to a whole new level. We face a two person clan of similar influence to our combined clan - so they have t8s and lv5 sh and we dont have any t8s and a lv 4 sh. But they have an alliance with another (new) clan (which has played only 2 cvcs),  This new clan has two of their 3 players at  lv 40  and nearly 3 times our combined influence. I suspect not long ago they were all one clan to get our oponent sh to level 5. Anyway -surprise surprise - our oponents have won every cvc to date.

 Seems a good strategy: get your sh to level 5 and then split the bigs off into a support clan and your oponents will be relatively weak from then on.

 Also of interest - the alliance clan is listed as having  lv1 sh but soon after cvc started had a lv4 sh.

24 hours later, having sealed a win with a fantastic lead, one of the level 40s has returned to our oponent clan.

The mismatch is probably our own fault for winning too many checkpoints last time. The art for us now is to win the next cvc with minimum checkpoints.

Rather strange how looking for a new kingdom has been transformed into something else altogether.

I would suggest that the programmers take the opportunity to further rectify  the difficulties they created with sieges and alliances.

First by  stopping the siege problem as has been suggested.

Second by not allowing this kind of arrangement or actual drawing of such opposition.

If the clan doing this thinks it is so smart, why not draw them against similar,or stronger, and see how they like that?

Pipkin, John seems to be setting you up to be the guinea pig fall guy test pilot,for such  a scheme to see if it works and if you succeed copy it.

Played a single player clan last week. We were winning 3-0 as they'd done nothing (on the bottom 3) checked 2 hours later and in those 2 hours they'd scored between 8 and 10 times more than us on all categories despite the fact we'd been going for 24 hours on and off.

I don't understand how and it just makes the whole game feel pointless as cvc is the only decent event for smaller players.

If you have any other questions, I will be happy to answer them 😇

Blackadder - previously we had a similar situation - we had a good lead on invaders/farming  and our single oponent in the last few hours put on a big lead on us in troops and knowledge. As a high level player he can make high level troops + knowledge - his only limit is how much he wants to spend buying time bonuses and rss, assuming he hasn't already got enough  reserves in hand.

John: we wont be able to do any experimenting - our bigger players (chief and elders) have gone dormant over the last few weeks and we cant even wake them up to appoint a new chief, so I don't begrudge our previous oponent actively moving their bigs back and forth to max advantage. The two lv 37s did get a very impressive tally from their siege (despite the lv 40 alliance members not earning points for them). I am assuming the presence of troops from the lv 40 troops players massively  increases the power of the troops from the two lv  37 players. (I.e. the more that the jotun troops are outnumbered the greater the point earning capacity  of the level 37 players?) And naturally our oponents moved in closer to our sh during the final hours just in case we tried a siege, which I am guessing is why a lv 40 rejoined our oponent clan.

before there were jotun scouts it was relatively safe for me to scout other sieges and see what big players were doing as few people bothered to put in scouts and learn what worked. Now it is rather more problematic - esp since I dont know which jotun marches have scouts.

This game is and can be played on so many levels based on a clans activeness and influence. While we all agree that the draw to this game is not only the social aspect of it but the fighting. We all want to defeat our opponents in battle but as with any successful battle there is a ton of planning and preparation. That being said, most clans that arent successful do not plan or put for the effort required to succeed at a level that they compete at. Most are too busy chasing influence to appear bigger but not necessarily stronger.

Is it fair that a 3T player can face and defeat a whole 3T singlehandedly? We have several clans that hover around the 3T influence mark to be able to participate in Holmgang that are successful in cvc. They have all done what we call the grid. Upgraded gear, gems, Helhiem, and town skins (all of these items can not be purchased regardless of the amount of money). These all make you stronger without adding an influence. If you are a casual player then you most likely are not going to beat someone that lives and breathes the viking way.

As a 3T clan we know we can not fight for the throne in JOT and hope to succeed, however we can set up so nasty trap towns to earn our soul shards to make us stronger. The whole key to this game is to have fun and use the strategy and lessons learned in defeats to make you better.

I hope for the best for everyone and am here to help in any way I can.
