Clan Wars: Season Five Regulations

Gepard_PH:   I can't comment about the unofficial numbers, but please don't forget about Advances which are way more popular than Battles for Stronghold were. Try adding up Advances and Skirmishes and see if you get to the same conclusions.   A lot of players found Renewed Strongholds more appealing to participate in. While some changes were not really welcome by hardcore SH community, we needed to do take these steps to make SH more accessible to greater number of clans, and inject new life into Stronghold battle modes and Stronghold progression. Too many clans were stuck at Level 4, which I explained already some weeks ago while we were discussing changes to be introduced.   We have been monitoring the situation with new matchmaker in Skirmishes and agree that there are some drawback, most noticeably increased waiting time. Devs are still looking into this issues and trying to find good balance between the time you need to wait for battles and difference in opposing teams' Elo rating.
