Opposing clans

That is an issue, although best advice right now is to declare war on ZKV. That way the game will favor balancing you twoards opposing teams.

preety much agree here, planet owning clan and ship dropping clans should be on opposing teams, if not trigger war dec auotmatically. Either way although I would advise setting war before doing such a drop the next time.

Huh now thats strange. Guess Licho needs to do a double check or something cause that shouldn't of happened.

Why it shouldn't happen is simple. It makes it so your attacking the planet you are defending! This to me is counter intuitive, and to the more unscrupulous, could lead to friendly fire, or other stupidity just to protect the planet.

Licho, I understand you are saying in some cases it is impossible to prevent fighting with players you are at war with. But attack/defense of a planet, isn't that a different thing?

Clan who sent ships to planet is automatically considered to be at war with clan that owns the planet for the balancing purposes.

Maybe the whole weight system and Elo system crashes it.

It isn't a 1v1 "Schach".
It is a XvX game.

Maybe we can reduce the Elo weight if we have more than one Elo rating.
One Elo rating is more affected by small teams on big maps, and the other rating is affected by big teams on small maps.

If someone reclaim a building while you are building it, reclaim a unit while you try to rez it, than he will likely get a higher chance for awards ...
We can't use awards to calculate the Elo, because even newbes would get nothing from it.

But can we use statistics?

Can we balance it fairer so that the system don't need to balance attacker and defender so often to the same teams?

Isn't there a hidden possibility who overrides the war weight in some cases?

Wilk its normal - for example if balancing him in other team would decrease elo balance by 100 points it will prefer this combination

Ah, well I guess we have to hope people are honorable, else we might have some friendly fire issues in the future.

Had another case of it: http://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/18693

Really Licho it needs to get looked at, as Domination penalties makes it more beneficial to throw the game away than to fight with the attacker.
