If there was a season-by-season decay that had to be overcome to maintain rank instead of a cap at 1000, the stronger GBG guilds would have a way to show that they are indeed stronger than the competition and get a ranking bonus for it. Currently points are added in Copper league and destroyed in Diamond league by guilds failing to get over the cap. Perhaps the more elegant option is changing where points go to die though. The streak idea would be fine (fall out of 1000, lose *all* of the bonus from it). It's important that GBG ranking is fairly ephemeral as well. You can lose your entire GvG holdings in a matter of days. It's the same bonus for 1 or 8 of them in an attack.Click to expand.Something cumulative breaks with their ranking philosophy. Seriously you don't want 6 of them in a higher age battle. The only time you should NEVER use this troop is when you are using rogues outside of HMA or higher. Perfect for scouting GvG sectors as it gives low points and still carries a good over defence. Great as a spare when you're running low.

In my opinion it's an ok troop for all ages. You're really loosing less than 0.5% attack and defence. Ok, so now we have 700 base attack for the 7 remaining troops plus 11 for the color guard and 84 for color guard bonus = 795 attack and defence.

its said that the color guard gives 12% bonus to all other troops while attacking for attack and defence. you now have 700 attack and 700 defence for the remaining troops plus 11 attack and defence for the color guard. now lets take one troop and replace with the color guard. lets say troops 1 to 8 have 100 attack and 100 defence each giving a total of 800 attack and 800 defence. As much as people complain about the color guard its not to bad.
