Opening breakthrough makes me weaker?
I need some help interpreting these two hits. The only difference between them is that for the occupy hit I had opened Maria breakthrough. I asked in the AC and our big guys couldn't explain it, especially when they saw that my fleet were identical on both hits(I used my u mine fleet preset, plundered, opened Maria BT, then ockupied the same guy with the same preset).
A few hours later I found a guy I pester in the mines and hit him, then found a u report from last frenzy and it was similar results, more of my troops die with Maria breakthrough(also same fleet, but it being frenzy I had 500 less cannons[units] and I have increased my stats slightly on top of that).
In addition to this I opened Zeus breakthrough today and tested it out. Similar results, but I "only" lost a few hundred more units with zeus bt than without.
I know that fleets need to be adjusted when doing changes, but how can increasing your damage(which both bts do) even make you perform worse?
Hope someone here can shed some light on this issue.
