The guild hall that the match takes place in depends on your guild rating compared to the rating of your opponents for random maps.

If your rating is higher than theirs, you play the map for their guild hall, and they have the defenders base. If their rating is higher than yours, they're attacking your base.

For challenge matches, whichever team challenges is the attacker, meaning that the guild being challenged gets to play in their guild map.

Challenges can be either Rated or Unrated, meaning you can challenge a guild with rating on the line, or challenge a guild for a "just for fun" game, where there's no real stakes other than pride.

Random maps will match you against another team within a certain rating of your guild- somewhere around 200 rating. If your guild has a rating of 1200, you can be match against a guild rated somewhere between 1000-1400. I'm not certain of the 200 rating figure, but the concept is the same regardless. Challenge matches aren't limited by rating, but you will gain 0 fame for beating someone too far below your rating for you to be matched against them in random battles.

You will gain more rating for defeating a guild ranked higher than you than below you, and lose less rating for losing to a higher-ranked guild. There does seem to be some other variables in determining how much rating you get out of a win, but that's the general idea.
