Were you taking your ranking from the list daily reckoning time when influence goes to the capital?  If so then you will be wildly out from your final ranking.  There are many alliances, hundreds, who bring in 22 people after the daily influence move to capitals, each bringing in 25K starting influence which gets counted in the final tally at the end of the event.  None of those players need to come out of dove so all their influence can be stolen - so that's 550K right off the bat that you never got to see in the ranking list

And should any of those players break dove and steal influence from others, their tally will be even higher so their ranking also.

It is tough on small alliances who so desperately need the building materials, but I suggest you try that method above and see if it helps.  You know that Horizon starts the day after Outer Realms ends (unless there is another OR instead) so you could try teaming up with some other friendly alliances and hopping into one or other of the teams BEFORE Horizon starts (so on the last day of OR), staying for a week, and thus having more people who can jump in at the last minute.  Of course if it is another OR and not Horizon, you have had an overnight stay in the other alliance and can go home again until the following Sunday night to try again.

Now, to the point in question, as referenced slightly above, at the end of the day, it is no holds barred and as such, every player has the right to hit whoever they choose.

 I was not and am not suggesting otherwise. I am merely suggesting that players fight at an appropriate level when doing so, like with NPC camps. I am not suggesting limited troop types, tools or commanders. In the regular kingdoms, there is an honor / glory penalty for attacking lower levels; here there is nothing, so I believe there should be some kind of 'bar' that normalizes the difference in levels while retaining the advantage that ruby buyers ( myself included, at times; tho much more in the past than now ) seek to gain.
LegendarytKing73:
You are incorrect in your statement that "it is no holds barred and as such, every player has the right to hit whoever they choose."
Yesterday I was hit by a Level 70, Legendary Level 26, and a Level 28 and I am a level 12 and lost more than 2K troops.  When I went to hit the Level 70 player I got a message that I cannot hit a player that high above me.
  Then I sent an attack to the Level 28 player, it let me send it, but just now I looked at my messages I had this from the Level 28 Player:

So the only one who can hit anyone they choose are levels at least Level 28 and above.  Those of us below can't hit that high above and we can't keep troops in our castle because the higher levels destroy them all.

Banana is spot on, rewards are possible without spending just need the right strategy. Speaking of that it does help if you understand the rules before you enter, it has been said a few times but players still don't fully understand the final total is only done at the event end not when the last points are sent to the capital. All points you accrue in the last 2.5 hours do count and what is in you main is added to your capital to get your final tally. This makes it impossible to know what you need for top 1k ( or any rewards) as it changes drastically but also the way GGE want it as it makes some spend even more at the last couple of hours even though it may not be necessary. 

CROM
Can you please advise if there are to be any further changes before the next edition starts (yes it will be return as can be seen by the amount of vet horrors and relic comms used during the event)

Will city states stay as it was this time and when capped it would be an 8 hour occupation regardless if it was already capped? or will it return to the way the first one was run, that being you can cap a city with a minute left and its over in that minute.

The armoury stayed this time till the event finished unlike the first time when it was removed for the last 3 hours. This is a major change that as usual we weren't notified of by GGE. I understand why it was left this time as it increases your revenue if players can continue to buy coin defenders and ruby spenders need to buy ruby troops to overcome this. 

City state re-spawning seemed much reduced this time, was that deliberate and will it be like that next edition.

Thanks in advance
There need to be lots of changes made and it needs to be made longer.

i dont see where its any different the only chalange is how much real money someone is willing to spend starting at say lv70 castle just means all the little rubie buyers are just throwing their money away.

top allainces dont hit each other just the small allainces so they buy the top spots not earn

put a lv limit on who you can hit would make it more interesting

daily rewards also the idea of only last day counts is dumb in my opinion
I was hit yesterday by a Level 70 and a Level 28 and I'm a Level 12.  But I can't hit them back because my level is too low and I am not strong enough.  But they can hit me and take more than 2K of my Veteran Deathly Horrors and Deathly Demon Horrors so I can't attack anyone else.

those extra waves ruins beyond the horizon and outer realms events, I hope that is only a one time thing.

Alliance score list is broken.  In the last hour of the event it added a few alliances to the list, but not all of them.  Very curious.  This on top of the fact that the event is just so poorly executed it's not even funny.

Also publishing the final rankings in game is now a must as far as I'm concerned.  Otherwise I'm sure GGE has ways of cherry picking alliances to give the rewards too.

@Crom Cruach  @Poseidon X Angel   You may want to pass this comment on to your developers.  I know @bernhardt (US1) isn't the only one who feels this way...…...

I also want to add that I saw multiple Rawside alliance names that appeared to be identical- more than 3 of them.  No added #1, 2 etc as they are supposed to be named when coming out of the same alliance.  I looked to see if alliance name change was possible, but that was grayed out as an option for me despite being king.

If you change alliances after BTH starts, you get locked out.
I dont think so, Ive done it before.

Well that is what was published in the initial description of the event.  You have to remain in your alliance or you lose access to the entry button.  However, I have heard that someone who entered Horizon and then left their alliance was still included in the Horizon Alliance (although I am not sure if they could actually access it anymore - they definitely were not removed from the alliance IN horizon). I do not know if they received any rewards but I can't see why they wouldn't.

So the trick is to make sure your members are all home on Sunday nights until you know whether Monday heralds Horizon or Outer Realms, as it is no longer a weekly switcheroo and OR seems to be more frequent.

Glanced through here so I may have missed it, but has anyone discussed much about the dealing that goes on for points?  And what about sending accounts of retired players over to be farmed? 
There are thousands of 'retired' accounts with shared passwords on the US server.  What better place to use them? 

It seems to me this event has been corrupted Beyond the Horizon of salvation.
This last trip was my last to the tangled wilderness.

I havent opened beyond the horizon, but I have heard a lot of complaining about those starter packages, so why did you ruin those by taking all the rubies out of them?

We are working on a way to display your final rank in game. If you are in any doubt as to where you have finished please contact support and they will help you out.

is there any reason why gg has ruined those ruby packages in beyond the horizon event? players dont get any rubies in those packages.

What is wrong with the fusion function. Every time I try to upgrade a decorative item that requires glass for the upgrade I get a message that I don't have enough res even though I'm maxed out in glass.

Beyond the Horizon's armorer is gone @Crom Cruach . I had spent so much money and now its gone. We can't get our defenders or anything and it is the last day. It would be helpful if you gave some redemption of this....

[5112333] nuggyplayz (INT1) [INT1] :: April 13, 2020, 3:44 p.m.
This is ridiculous though:(, you all extend horizon till tuesday and also remove armorer? Where is the justice??

[5112457] Stevemass (GB1) [GB1] :: April 13, 2020, 7:38 p.m.
I would not have bought if i knew there would be no armorer so i want my money back

I understand your rage in this matter but please understand that everyone was affected equally by this.
Support has been made aware of this issue and thus there is no need to contact them yet, a solution is being worked on.

Thank you for your patience,
