This tactic seems unfair. Opponents placed no defense so can’t make points for battle. This seems unfair and should not ne allowed. 3 players and no defense that would appear intentional!
I RULLAIOLI team this is unreasonable. I Hope KABAM can disallow wars that have no defenders placed on one side to not happen. This feels like cheating to me.
(1) it is against Forum Rules to call out specific people/alliances as potential cheaters. (which they are NOT, btw, continue reading)
(2) you have to understand how AW points work. If you move to a #’d node that doesn’t have a defender on it, you still get the FULL CREDIT of both Explore, as well as 3x Attack Bonus. Just as if you had beat an opponent there in a single fight.
(3) you are well down the rung of AW Tier (and thus Map Difficulty Tier) based on your (and opponent's) lower War Rating (since potentially having just started playing wars in those alliances semi-recently) You both are probably moving up in Tiers fairly often.
When you place defenders, you have the option to place the not only in your “Current Tier” defensive difficulty map, but also (in advance) into the (+) and (-) next difficulty Tier Maps. So that when you do move up to next higher difficulty Tier Map, you may already have defenders in place. (at which point, then you should go back into defense again and place defense again in what is now another new (+) Tier map, for when you move up again later.)
So, your opponent may not have setup defense in their next (+) Tier Map before actually moving up to that Tier.
Also, since you said they only have 3 players anyways (and it is only a 1 Group war), there would be a lot of empty nodes anyways, even if the 3 players would fill in theirs.
Net effect, the ONLY issue you could have a complaint against, is that there aren’t many (or any) defenders to actually do a fight against and earn your SOLO AW EVENT points towards those Event Milestones (which, really aren’t very much anyways, and are currently out-of-sync with the duration of the actual season too right now).
