What are the penalties for rushing the town center in DomiNations?

I know the price to attack or search for a new opponent increases, but is there anything else?, like a loot penalty or something like Clash of Clans?.

Thank you in advance. :)

I don't think there is a loot penalty. I keep having far stronger opponents clean out a healthy amount of resources.

In a sense yes; but there are a lot of stronger nations with low medal counts.

I think the design is reasonable. If you can't sustain at a level, that means that level is no good to you. So why do you want to climb to a higher league when you nation has not advanced to the same age like others. Some complaints are not making any sense.

No offence, but perhaps you are upgrading your TC too quick, Hearthpad. You should upgrade most of your valuable buildings or army (depending whether you are after metals or resources), and make sure your resources are full before you move to a new age. That way you will be generating a lot of resources or have sufficient defences to protect your civilization. I would certainly like to upgrade my TC, but I did that at the beginning and found myself up against much tougher opponents and most of my building were not generating enough. I don't know, I guess everybody has their own opinions. Hopefully, you can figure out what you are going to do. Take care

I forgot to mention. If you are getting raided by much better players, eventually your medal count will go down. Consequently, you will be matched up with players at lower levels. Then you may be able to stiffen up your buildings or troops; to better yourself against higher ranked levels

Im in enlightenment age. What you suggest is actually terrible. When levelling, if you max your storage before upgrading you will be a prime target for higher levels. At all timex you should keep all resources to a minimum and just boost them when you need to upgrade. You also need to lose on purpose, because many ppl will raid you when you dont have any resources, just to get a win. There isnt much you can do when they have unit capacity and level which outpaces your towers. There is also a stupid bug that when you buy a peace treaty (really helpful for upgrading towers) you will still get attacked once and while In the final age, its almost impossible to get a 5 star victory, so to get diamonds u need to grief lower players. Is BS

I am in medieval age. I do see your point, but What I meant about having your resources full before you upgrade is that you will have loot to upgrade verses spending everything you have to move to the next age and having nothing. Of course, it is implied that when you actually hit the button to upgrade you TC you have time to gather resources since the upgrade takes time. I actually do the same as you stated, I constantly keep spending most of my resources on upgrades to keep them low. I like your idea of upgrading towers while you have a peace treaty.

Well, I'm sure the matchmaking system may be more complicated than levels and medals, but it looks weird when I get attacked by 71th level being at 31st. Also, it offers me stronger opponents too often. At the beginning I managed my defences and economy and now it just doesnt make sense, because it is much easier to raid and spend resources properly, so big part of the game looks not working as it should. Moreover, if you win in defense, you may end up loosing more resources than if you loose. So what's the point of these long upgrades? Saving medals you may return in 1-2 fights?
