Aidania defence teams are all 4x random troops that fit the green criteria, not teams set by players attacking in the kingdom

Platform, device version and operating system:

The first 2 images show random examples of the enemy teams I’ve been presented with in the currently Green PvP battle kingdom of Aidania.
The 3rd image is my current stats there.

What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
I was expecting to get offered genuine teams that players had set/used. Instead, all 48 battles in this kingdom so far have been against collections of 4 random green troops that rarely make sense as a team and have not once included a hero/weapon and therefore class.

At first I assumed this was likely down to the region not being properly populated yet, but it’s getting on for 24 hours since the update and I’ve still yet to see a real team here.

I have 48 wins here using the exact same team of Wand/Bee/Bee/Lep. As that’s the team I’ve used, and from within the first 15 minutes of the patch going live/being installed, I’d have expected this would be my defence team given what I’ve read. Instead, I believe those 38 defence losses and 0 win were against my account name but not against my team, just any 4 random green troops.

Taking this one step further, you can look at the global leaderboard (it’s a little messy due to not being reset before the update, but there’s still some worthwhile numbers to take note of) where it can be seen that there are decent players with very strong accounts but have the kind of defence loss numbers they might only see in a season, never mind less than a single day (plus a few days pre-patch). Example of which: SHEFFIELD with 650 defence losses last time I looked - in my mind, that’s because it’s a high level account worth a lot of points by defeating and the defence team being random junk makes it an especially worthwhile target. I know their usual defence team/s and I know well enough to stay the heck away :wink: My team is decent enough as an attack/defence hybrid, so I’d expect to have at least scraped a few wins by now… 0/40 on defence is entirely possible, but I dunno if I could beat that team 40 and 0 and strongly suspect my defence team has been something entirely, randomly different along with everyone else’s.

How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
Steps to make it happen again
Every time the 3 sets of opponents eventually load up, they are all, always, 4x random green troops and not teams set by players with no hero/weapons to be seen.

You are going players, who have been recently active in Pvp. However, with the amount of kingdoms available, there is a solid chance, that many of them have not visited this specific one yet. Give it a week to even out.

I’m not convinced. Not a single proper team out of 150 teams shown to me (not just the ones I beat, but the other 2 I didn’t pick each time) and not a single defence team win with a team that can easily trip people up…? I think it’s broken.

It might be. I have yet to see a team with a hero as well. It’s just one possible explanation, that came to my mind, that many may not explore the various kingdoms, but stick to one (which would most likely be Broken Spire).

I have fought players of my alliance who I know have been playing and who had legit teams.

This will take time.

If it’s still happening in a month then it’s time to worry and wonder.

Yes, I’m the only active player on my rung of the ladder, so I’m guessing I’m playing against similar situations. I think next week I will be put into a league with other people actually playing and thus get more non-AI players that I’m matched with.

I think that’s exactly the issue. I’m seeing the same thing; my “league” is just me, with 29 other inactive players. I’m betting if the player doesn’t have a PVP team set up for that region, the game just randomly selects appropriate troops from that player’s roster. It will be interesting to see what happens next week. Hopefully it sorts all the active players to the top, and we’ll see more actively curated teams.

Although, not gonna lie, all of these really terrible teams on the highest-tied PVP opponent are doing wonderful things for my numbers.

My only concern is, like the OP said, I’m not sure my teams are showing up as defense teams in battles. Again, hopefully that sorts itself out next week as rankings start to kick in for real.
