Sweet spot for not getting attacked
- Thread starter Ellaina77

It varies from day to day. The range of possible attacks is 1000 medals up and down - and there are active atomics and cold war age all the way from 300-3000+.
As an industrial, you were a small fish that only globals could pick on, and there is a huge pool of active and inactive industrial bases. So the odds of your base being hit were lower to start with. The most active players in the game are global, atomic and cold war. Since all of those can pick on you now, you will get hit no matter where you hide.

In 2000+ medals you will get hit fast, but lower than that it depends on your base...between 200-1000 medals you get hit by just raiders also, 1200-1800medals is pretty easy (atleast for me). Globals will get hit by cold war also, so there isnt non attackable base, but 1200-1600 medals range there are many easier bases and if yours is normal, then most will pass you....

As a new GA you are dead meat at any medal range especially since CWA was released.

On my IA account it's between 1000-1200 for me. I'm attacked maybe once every ten days in that range. I don't think you will find such a sweet spot in global though as you'll be able to be attacked by players in four ages now. But it's probably worth trying between 1300-1800 to see if you have any luck.
It was about waring, but it is turning into self-sustaining bases on couple of reasons.
1) all the big defenses they are throwing out (especially missile silos etc late “improvements”)
2) long upgrade times (most 12-14 days) means there is no need to hit enemies at all, except only for oil. Regular rez is full and unusable anyway.
So it actually is turning into sit and wait game, especially if you are like me (walls maxed, nowhere where to put rez, sitting full basically 24/7 and not high enough level to go cold war age).

At this point in the game, in my observation, there are about two different worlds: IA and below, and Global age and above.
The majority of the highly active, long time players, and skilled player base are in CWA, or AA, and to some extent in Global age. And, all of them can attack you in your Global Age.
You might not find a sweet spot in terms of medals from Global Age and above - at least until you max out most of your defenses in Atomic Age.
Granted that with good layouts, and with a missile silo, you can minimize the frequency of attacks against your Global Age base, but, if you hold a lot of resources, you're very likely to be attacked. Till you build the missile silo, you're likely to get attacked even if you don't have a lot of resources, primarily for CWA and AA players to 5 star bases for getting their national trade goods.
Long story short, you might not find a medal sweet spot in Global age similar to how you might have found one in IA.
Hope that helps. Cheers and happy gaming!

Pretty sure most of us should be able to remember being Industrial and almost never getting attacked. I know I can. I think it is the age thing not the medals.
In Global Age I hovered between 1000-1200. I got attacked, there is no way to avoid it, but not very often. I found the bases and resources around that medal range very easy so that when I did get attacked I could easily compensated for any losses. The daily rewards in lower medal ranges are pretty poor so most active players will just be moving on up, if you get attached in lowish medal ranges it will be relatively few and far between.
In summary, you can't avoid getting attacked in Global Age and above, but you should be able to find a medal range where you can raid easily enough to compensate for any losses you accrue if you are attacked.

yup, what he said also. But mostly 1000-1400 is sweet spot. A LOT depends on base layout. You will get attacked, but not a lot. I've been there sitting full with 11 mil food and 11 mil gold and nowhere to put them and sometimes wasnt attacked 1-3 days even...unlike 2000+ medals, where ya get hit instantly
