I just got attacked by someone 32 levels higher than me , and with over 1000 more medals than I have ......maxed out Generals and heavy tanks , cannons etc......( I'm still in the E.A ....) , so guess how much of a chance I had to defend against him. I submitted a ticket, but I guess they are going to tell me this is legitimate .....if so , how come I never get to attack , or even see in a match , people that far below me ? I guess the "Medal range" for multiplayer games doesn't really mean much does it ?

The medal system is fine. Every game has newbs crying about being attacked by stronger players. Just deal with the fact that u will have opportunities to attack stronger players(whom ull skip) and lower players whom ull attack. They will do the same thing. Cry about ur attack then proceed to skip hard bases and attack weak ones. I call bullshit on ur i never attack lower bases

Well I'm level 144...not maxed up by any means. Yesterday I attacked a level 84 base with a few tanks and Alpini...5 starred that base...had plenty of troops left at the end too. The most enjoyable 1 minute I've had in this game for the past week. I get my butt kicked by level 160plus players everyday. My advice...Just do 5 raids for every raid that is done on you, and you will stay ahead in this game.

EA L102 - 1700 medals, I get attacked by anything from L80 GP up to 165 Max and do likewise. Given up trying to work out the match-making system, the only consistent part is one age above/below. I had the honour of donating a TC and some oil to BambooCoC a week or so ago and he's was at 2400ish medals. And when attacking a few pop up who are worth 30 medals for a win, when most are a snotty 1, so I guess they are at 2500+.

Child.....? Jon Apple, who do you think you are exactly ? I haven't been on this forum long , so you will have to explain to me who and what you are ...apart from rude and condescending . Dbukaslski ...re read what I said ............... I said that I don't see , or get matched against , people who are that far below me when I initiate a multiplayer game .....of course I attack people below me , but not at this type of range ( because it's outside the modifier allowed by the medal count modifier ) .....do you understand that ? I am level 121 , the guy who attacked is level 153, which I don't have problem with per say......I have been attacked by players at 163 level. I have 1460 medals , the guy who attacked had 2487 medals ...... The whole point is that there is supposed to be a range that modifies who you are matched against in Multiplayer ........this is attack is either outside that range , or the modifying range for multiplayer attacks means nothing . The reply I got to the ticket tells me that it is outside the range , but this was "Probably" a revenge attack . It was not a revenge attack, as the base he has is not one that I would attack , I try to get as many attacks in when I can, but put certainly can't afford to spend all day at this game , so try to attack where I have chance of retaining at least a few troops ....I don't attack maxed out walls , and a good base set up without seeing a lot of loot and diamonds up for grabs . I sure those of you who are much higher levels are happy enough with all this, and would readily take advantage of such a mismatch ....I however find it funny that you show total disrespect for asking why I don't see the same type of mismatch in my favour .... I guess the eagerness to dis people posting on this forum is the reason it's so quiet here .......

I get what you mean.

It's true that sometimes the match making a bit funny but there were only several times a month that opponents 30++ levels higher or medals range 500-1000 higher than me. Although it is nothing to do or moaning over the high medals defeating us, It's a bit strange since this is out of the game match making thus we are just curious into it.

Don't let some of the forum posters get to you...remember they don't know you and some post too much..haha. I agree that the match making seems strange at times. The fact that you can't get access to bases on 1000 medals lower than you seems unfair if you are getting attacked by players who have 1000 medals more than you. There many aspects of this game that are unfair. I actually think it has been done on purpose by the developers...to encourage players to buy crowns to speed up base upgrades. The first time I got raided by tanks and planes...made me want to get them too. Today I managed to cause 7% damage to a high medal level 163 base...my reward for leaving 93% of that base intact?...14 medals. That doesn't seem right either!

Oh, the posters trying to prove they are someone don't get to me , they are quite funny in their neediness :).
You are right though ,that's the thing isn't it ......there is supposed to be a modifier that makes things a little less arbitrary. I agree it does seem unfair both ways at times , but with the increased income from hunting bears etc, the daily boat awards and much higher awards in loot (from the league) in multi player battles , it's much easier to replace troops and lost specie ( I know this because I have a second game on my IPhone , and I well aware on how hard it is to progress at the lower level ..lower Gunpowder age ....than it is at the Enlightenment age that I have on my IPad ). Then again there are some idiots who seem to have no idea of what's worth attacking ...I just got attacked by a guy at level 162 , 1745 medals, who lost a whole raft of tanks and troops and a couple of airships for the 5,100 gold , 15,000 food and 25 oil that I had available to loot ....it's going to cost him more to replace everything he lost than he took , and at that medal level in Industrial age, I can't believe he was trying to lose medals ( he didn't , it cost me 8 medals ).....if he's happy with that, then fine, but I find that hilarious :)

Yeah some posters on this forum post waaay to much. Get a life guys :) as for me. I fluctuate just under 2800 medals where i feel league bonus and difficulty finding opponents hits a sweet spot. I burn medals every day not to cross past 2800. My username is the same here and in game if u want to follow me like other do :) u dont have to cry that i dont understand the depth of ur whigning. The entirety of ur complaint is someone higher lvl and with more medals attacked u. And in ur opinion they were toooo high level and medal count. Only newbs cry like that while they themselves attack lower lvl and medal players. The other part of ur complaint was u never get such loooow level players to attack. To which i call bullshit. If we were able to see a log of all the bases that pop up for u to attack we would find such lowely bases. Whether u took the opportunity and selectively forgot. Or skipped the attack for lack of reward is something the world will never know

Dbukalski, oh dear, you do like to be rude and arrogant don't you ......classic Keyboard warrior or what ! You obviously still have real problems understanding what you read, but that's really your problem not mine..................As its only a game, not real life, I'm not that interested in pandering to anyone's ego to be honest , especially some who obviously has literacy challenges and is crass enough to revel in it . As to "following you "....... I don't think so ...no thanks :)

Is your base rated poorer than Donald trumps Mexican approval rating? Now if anyone gets that joke I'll be a happy camper.
