Intentionally lose an Alliance war hardly - is that a viable strategy?

[TriNitro]

As far as i remember, alliance war score does not take the overall points from former wars into account. Its win or loss (very rarely a draw). Besides the heroes of the players, the alliance war score is calculated on the basis of your alliance’s last 20 war results.
So the ‘degree’ of a loss is meaningless and you should always just try to win.

Edit: maybe this might be helpful as well:

Alliance war caps have increased to 20 since that was posted but rest is unchanged as far as i know

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.
