Why keep desert war records separately

The game shows only the most recent desert war matches and then drops them. There is no way to check later how your alliance's season actually went, or how you fared the last time you drew a particular opponent. This page accumulates collected matchups and results per alliance so the history survives.

Pick a server, then an alliance, and you get its full record, the score of every match, and the observed matchmaking rating alongside.

Reading the record

Group / Opponent

The bracket and the alliance you faced. Repeat encounters accumulate into a genuine head-to-head history.

Score (us:them)

More informative than the result column. A one-point loss and a blowout are completely different events that a win-loss record flattens into the same thing.

Note

A margin-derived label — dominant, ahead, close, behind, heavy loss — so that scanning a long record immediately shows which matches were actually contested.

What the history tells you

Mainly whether your problem is strength or execution. Consistently large margins mean you are simply outgunned; repeatedly losing close matches usually points at formation choices or when the alliance concentrates its effort — and that second kind of problem is fixable.

Head-to-head history also makes preparation concrete the next time the same alliance comes up. The game does not retain this; recorded, it stays.

About the rating chart

Desert war pairings are not random — they follow an internal matchmaking value. The chart at the bottom plots that value as observed across rounds. How it is actually determined has been analysed from collected data and written up on the desert MMR ranking page.

When there is no data

That server and alliance have not been collected yet. Running the collector and opening the desert war screen in-game accumulates matchups and results automatically. Canyon battles are handled on a separate page.

Only submitted data is aggregated, so this is not a census, and the note column is a margin-based label rather than a rating the game assigns.
