I can't find this so I hope it's not out there, how does the ranking work? I can compare myself with others and it makes no sense. I have mines and mills, multiple outposts built and captured, as well as conquers. The player I am comparing myself to has one conquers, compared to my 4 and no ops at all. The only thing he/she has more then me is troops. Are troops that important for ranking?

TNE

ranking on BD are based on score, score are calculated by a lot of factors, but units factor is always the majority of players' score.

10 inf = 1 power = 10 score
10 veh = 2 power = 20 score
10 tank = 3 power = 30 score
25 workers = 1 power = 10 score

1 conquer = 1 power = 10 score
1 res OP = 0.2 power = 2 score (for each and every member of the alliance)
1 crystal = 20 score
1 relic = 1000 score

Ah, I see. Thank you much!

TNE

oh, and how much resource production boost do relics give?

Each relic should give 20 medal 20 oil every tick.. To each member of the alliance that holds that relic....

Correct, it is 20 metal and oil per relic per tick for every member of the alliance.

LOL why mine sig?

Because he copied the link that generates the image instead of actually saving the image and displaying that. So whoever looks at his sig will see themselves. For example you see your best era, I see my best era.
