Title: How is Clan War Map position determined?
Question: I am #10 in my clan (cause I'm farming) but I am #2 in clan wars. I don't have the strongest troops in my clan. I'm just wondering how the order is set up, the only thing i can think of is that it is based off of your defense, but I'm not sure. Anyone know?

text: Scroll down to about mid page.
text: War map rank is determined by overall defense.
text: Once a match is found, players are sorted on the map from strongest to weakest, in terms of defence power of their base, i.e., defense levels, hero levels, traps, etc.
text: We do not take TH levels into account.
text: Instead, we only use overall strength of all defence elements in player’s village.
text: For example, a TH8 with higher level defenses than a TH9 will be ranked higher than the TH9 in the war map.

sents: text: The bases are ordered from highest to lowest strength.
text: Strength is based on each member’s attacking power this includes available types and levels of troops, army camp capacity, spells and heroes.
text: Along with your defensive strength, which includes defensive buildings, walls, traps and heroes.
text: Your position has nothing to do with your trophies, Player level, Town Hall level, Achievements, or EXP.

sents: text: So as I understand it, rank is based on what defenses you have (defensive buildings, heroes, walls), and not the way in which they are laid out.
text: It has nothing to do with player level, although level gives you a rough estimate of a player's total progress through the game in terms of buildings and achievements.
text: So basically, moving things around on your base to improve your layout won't help your war ranking, only upgrading or building new defenses will do so.

sents: text: Your clan rank in a war is determined by your defence strength, that is calculated by the cost of your highest upgrades and total cost excluding walls.
text: I have the highest level but am 7th in my clan

sents: text: The way I understand it is your trophy count gets you into the war, then the strength of your base defence determines where you rank in the clan war map.
text: For example, your clan has 50 members and you go to war with a clan that has 40, then the war will be 40v40.
text: The top 40 players in your clan (ranked by trophy count) will join the war, the remaining 10 will be spectators.
text: Then the 40 players fighting for your clan will be ranked 1-40 on the war map based on the strength of base defence regardless of trophy count.
text: Hope this helps A co-leader has the right to select whom from his clan are participating in the clan war.
text: But there must always be either a round number or a number between 1-50 with five at the end.

sents: text: Clan War position depends on your defense strength.
text: Not the level, not the trophies, but HOW GOOD YOUR DEFENSE IS. :)

sents: text: Okay the top two answers say most of it for the question
text: but I would like to add a point.
text: So if there are two players in war with the exact same defenses, they would further be differentiated on the basis of their league or trophies or xp.
text: How are clan war positions determined when identical bases are present in war?
text: Happy Clashing!
