Guild Warfare city buffs

[S.S. Dragon]

im looking for any info containing about how the city buffs work in GWs. example. the guild we're fighting atm (typing this during GWs) has 2 cities. ive been told we get a buff of 5% for each city they have. we should hve 10% buff. but at the same time another guild is fighting them on 2 fronts (guild a attacking b and b attacking a)

we currently have no buffs before the battle starts, and the guild a attacking b has no buffs. i have no info about guild b attack guild a, and the buffs for that fight

my first thought was only garrisoned cities have buffs. but there was a few weak defenders in the city guild a was attacking guild b. so that rules out that theory.

any ideas? why do we have no buffs at the start when the enemy guild has 2 cities. we should of had a 10% buff, right?

*edit* there was no one in the city we were fighting btw.

on the subject of GWs. theres 1 person on the server im on that has 3-4 alt guilds to block cities, all full of alt accounts (between 5-10 accounts per alt guild)
its getting on our nerves. we cant plan fights cause they're whimping out and having alts protect them. easy to defeat, but thats not the point. the point is we cant have a legit battle with them cause they're protected. either we waste our funds to out bid them or let them run out of funds in those alt guilds. its no fun

You get a 10% buff for each additional city after the second city they hold. This means you have a 10% buff if they hold 3 cities. If they hold 2 cities, you get no buff.

Got to admit this info was only available with the patch, and that there is no in-game information regarding this.

Guild War isn't very user friendly at first as well. For instance, it doesn't make sense to newcomers that opposing guilds moving from A to B and B to A at the same time do not get to fight, yet meet one another on their way.

what happens when the defending guild has 8 cities?

what happens when the defending guild has 8 cities?

then the attacking guild gets 70% bonus and makes really strong players look like newbies

[billysees_6553707]

so explain a fight between a 100 mil defender and an 8.5 mil attacker. the defenders guild has 8 cities.

The 8.5M attackers get a 70% buff, meaning they deal about twice their current damage and can sustain twice the damage. Pretty sure the 100M defender still wins. But heck, 8.5M is really small. A 40M players could certainly take him down though.

The Buff would be 60 not 70. There are other factors involved also.
