Big issue in wars – 1* Defense Teams (Bad Strategy, see discussion for why this doesn’t work well)

@kerridoc is that the correct reading of it?

This might help, from the thread @Olmor linked:

@Kerridoc

There are 1500 points spread across the allies. Those points are distributed with 500 points going out pro rata and 1000 points divvied up by the HP of the team. To keep the math simple, in a 10-person alliance each team will be worth 50 points plus their HP-share of 1000. If everyone has equal health teams, therefore, each team will be worth 150 points (100 + 50).

As @General_Confusion notes, the strategy you saw is a sure way to lose. Most people don’t know about the fixed points and think that they can force the foes to burn a lot of flags on near-zero teams. Doesn’t work that way. Because of the 500 points spread evenly, using weak defenses will rack up decent scores and allow two nearly full resets without having to use any good heroes. It also means that you can focus your absolutely best heroes against the few good teams. Easy win.
