Faction rank

How is it calculated?

A fairly stronger faction, which had a ton more respect than us - they have a few maxed out faction upgrades and 3 times moe respect than we do now.

Still, our faction has a higher rank than theirs although they had accumulated more than 300k resp combined through all the upgrades.

Its based on wars fought. In theory, a one man faction with 10 respect and no upgrades can be rank 1.

Basically, a faction that declares war one place above them at a time and declares on filler factions elsewhere will have more respect at any given rank than a faction who declares 25 places above them at a time.....
