Well, it's not imagination, it's been verified over and over (by me and other people) that marauders strength is around 3% of your combined guild troop power, or 25% or your average member power if you have 8 members in the guild. It's not fixed and varies slightly from war to war, so most likely it averages troops of players of all guilds in the war.

There will be of course unequality if you consider say top 50 guilds by power the difference in their combined power could be 2-3 times. Besides, some of the players in these powerful guilds would not be very active, which would be noticeable when their 3 or 4 active players run out of troops mid war.

As a side effect you would also sometimes note that you are fighting the same guild 2 or 3 times over the same season.

Besides looking at marauder 's power, one could also check competitor's minimal troop power to join settings (but you need to have an account which is not a guild member).
