I’m seeing plenty of battles in which the strength scores do not mesh with the troops. It usually is way under what it should be. Other players have complained of this as well, but I didn’t see a thread on this.

While it was a reasonably rare occurrence, we were quite happy to indulge it as we considered some better solutions for PvP in the future. The plan was to eventually make some really neat updates, but only after we’d had a chance to fully think everything through… I’m not a fan of quick fixes (necessary though they may be sometimes). Anyway, we noticed that there were some pockets in …
