At the moment, if you take part in any single player battle it still affects your rating. I would love it if this wasn't the case. This would then give us the opportunity to practice new ideas and different combos of troops without worrying about it affecting any thing else (other than grog levels spent training the troops).
Yeaa....me neither :/ lol just when I get my pirate rank up, I get too comfortable & get knocked back down, & it's not even other pirates! Lol
