University upgrades in world war matchmaking

[Nickplatino]

Does somebody know if the upgrades you do in the university count in the world war matchmaking?
Thanks.

Coalitions cant have an effect on matchmaking, since you can add them on planning day?

You can activate coalitions on planning day, like Danix said, just not on war day.

University techs are a permanent fixture to your base and troops. So they are counted in wars too.

I would like to believe that coalitions and their upgrades would/should weigh in towards the war match-up.
I don't see it to be very different from the various troop upgrades - one might upgrade all troops, and they count towards the level of offensive capability. One might choose to train only certain troops in the army composition for war attacks.
In a similar way, one can upgrade coalitions, and going by similar logic to troop upgrades, they should ideally count towards offensive and defensive capability in the war match-up. Similar to training selective troops, one may selectively activate coalitions during war.

However, I would be very interested in hearing the official response on this.
Nb4powerup can you please help us by getting some information from the development team to clarify our doubts?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Coalition upgrade levels affect matchmaking, but what coalitions you have active certainly does not

Wait a minute, if I have no coalition flags raised, how is that going to effect my Alliance during matchmaking? Defensive buildings and troops do the matchmaking 0.o

University stuffs I get cause those classes strengthen my base.

And while we're at it, I still don't believe capping my gunpowder base is hurting my Alliance. Lol I mean if I was to go EA right now, my war rank will stay the same 0.o

Its like your Saboteur research (or something you dont use during WW) does affect matchmaking. It doesnt mean that when you dont use that its not a part of WW matchmaking XP(off or def) thingy.

Cool Max, ty for sharing. I'm still capping everything I can cause imo, its less junk I gotta do in the next age up ;-]

Thats for sure! I personally do not ugrade economic buildings, but its because Im impatient about new defensive upgrades hehe
