New members factored lower in calculating the alliance score.

For me that is just some childish behavior.
War score exploiting 
Some players would sell their grannies for better scores, eh? 
Maybe they have tiny ⌠

Im going to drop this analysis into this thread cause itâs pretty relevant to those considering it.
The following link is an analysis of the loot gathered in a stable alliance compared to a âshuffleâ alliance strategy.

How do you win wars with alliances that pack mercs or swingers 1 day before war begin then max exit after victory? Majority of this alliance members were only 1 day joined⌠Is it legal?
this war date was 02/05/2020

Yes. Itâs currently a manipulation of the system but not counted as âcheatingâ

A good way is to not allow new members to participate in wars until after a week

Thatâs not an answer, it happened again this time with another alliance. If not cheating then what is it! Why should I fund such activity thatâs approved by the devs whoâs only concern at this point is profit$
Alliance wars 02/12/2020
I looked up your alliance. We are at about the same level as you (within 12k alliance score and 4k war score), and I donât think weâve ever seen an opponent do this. It seems a bit crazy that the two of them would be able to maintain a war score high enough to pair with you if those tactics are normal for them.
Here is to hoping you future opponents are more respectful of game play.
What was the outcome of your war?
Iâm trying to understand how it affects your war matchup. If those members were included in the match making, then left to go hunt titans and returned in time for the war, I canât see how it affects the war.
What am I missing here?

As I said, itâs currently a way to manipulate the system, itâs not âcheatingâ according to what SG enforce.
I will mention that I donât make the rules, or enforce them, Iâm simply stating the current facts.
Whether the definition of âcheatingââ involves an immoral exploitation of the current systems is certainly up for debate, and Iâve made no comment on the matter personally 
But I still donât understand how itâs manipulating the system? They arenât forming a new alliance, theyâve simply left after match making and presumably returned before the war started.
What advantage did they gain that could affect the outcome of the war?

Your assumption is not correct princess.
They hop alliance after chests are filled and emptied. Going to lower or higher alliance to manipulate the war score and find more easy targets.
1 alliance looses them all to make sure score goes down, the other than rakes over and gets the more easy opponents and climb back up.

But atm thereâs much fluctuation in alliances because of POV/titans. Only thing would beâŚchecking that alliance in the next war. Are the members back or is the alliance filled with new members?
Many of the players in this alliance are 1 day old. Their war score was 4000 points higher than ours. They gloat in their banner messages of clear algorithm manipulation by how they move in and out for wars. Sure, itâs a way to win because they 1 shot with most of their flags. A group of powerful mercs jumping around essentially cheating the system. Sure, a wins a win, right? Well, shallow wins will destroy your gaming community SG. Figure out how to control your coding better please. Mercs will stop this if you limit war participation with too much movement between alliance every 3 days.

My alliance just got matched against a âsuper teamâ that had joined together, most of them 5 Days before the war, but a couple 4200 power teams, within 24 hours before it started. Is this a new gimmick with the whales?? They pounded us 6000 to 3000, where before we were always closely matched against teams.
this win/loss war score adjustment needs to fugging go! I have been saying this since ever. you should not be punished for doing better! at least with raids and titans, if you are doing better, you get higher tier chests. a war chest is a war chest. period.
I kept hearing excuses that two heroes with same power arent same, but a) in ~30 players times 30 heroes overall that evens out, and b) one lucky board can make you destroy a team of HOTM heroes with your vanilla TC heroes, thus countering that argument.
you cant exploit board luck, but you can certainly exploit war score calculation.
Why do people get so bent out of shape over a mobile phone game?
If it is so critical for players to game the system to gain an edge in opening the AW chest then all I can say is WOW. I regularly get better loot from Mystic Vision than I do from AW.
