Alliance War, less Binary

[Sidhekin]

@Rigs

But it caps. Obviously the -2k has to hit 0 at some point.

I’m not sure of the cap of the +2k. I know some alliances do win at their capped scores though so i know it caps since their scores stop going up after wins until they have a loss.

The cap is reportedly at ± 10 net wins (see below) – which should translate to ±20k, per your observation.

However, back in March, Kerridoc reported that mhalttu had reported that the adjustment is multiplicative. His illustrative “not the actual numbers” was a ±2% of the (unmodified) alliance score per net win.

Game Forces You To Lose In Wars

That wasn’t my take-away. I probably should go find the post, but here’s how I understood it. This information was posted by mhalttu in the APL: (BTW, mhalttu is SGG’s CIO, so this is definitive): Given how this algorithm works, there’s an absolute maximum % adjustment up or down. So if you keep winning, your war score used for matching does not keep climbing indefinitely. Once you’ve won 10 in a row, you’re maxed.

… and of course, that may have chanced since March …

I certainly don’t want the convoluted mess that College football rankings are!!

I believe I saw them mentioned on Wikipedia as examples of Elo rankings.
