The highest levels achievable at each age

[RodneyNorris]

Hello, I am currently Enlightenment Age at level 138. Does anyone know the max level for any or all ages? I think I must be getting close to max but not sure. Does anyone know of a higher level Enlightenment base? Anyone know of a listing of max levels per age?
Alliance: GoldStandard
Player: Rodney Norris
Thanks,
Rodney
Wow! Great info and thanks. All I have left that give me Experience points are some General upgrades. (I have two at level 19 and the rest are level 10 or above. All buildings and library upgrades are done for my level. Other than that my walls need to be upgraded to level 11 but all are level 9 or above. But those as well as the forests don't give experience points so I didn't think they boosted your rank.... Is that not true? The highest Ranked Enlightenment base other than mine that I can find is at 134. I think the Devs should have some kind of bonus for a maxed out base... Would give incentives to make base strong before moving to new age?

I doubt that this kind of info is out there. If it helps, though, for the Global Age part of the question--I'm currently at lvl 201 with maybe six months of nonstop War Academy/Library stuff left to upgrade. I'd guess the limit is 225 or so for GA.

Absolute max level for Medieval (incl stronghold, forest removeal etc) is lv 82.

I was at 143 in Enlightenment before I went to Industrial, but there were still several generals to upgrade and forests to clear I think.

Not too sure on the max levels, but I feel there's levels for each age where you are basically ready to move up without remaining upgrades effecting you too much. Back when I was Gunpowder (around a year ago) lvl 105 was basically the highest you could go, EA it was around 131 and Industrial was around 175. Since the we've had library chapter 5, new buildings like the stronghold, dock and University as well as new troops and coalition's. So it is harder now to distinguish where the boundaries lay.

I would however say if you're a 138 EA you are far more than ready to move to Industrial, and you'll still be a higher level than most other Industrial bases.

110 for Gunpowder and still have stuff to do (research, forest, walls)

Our alliance had a 144 Enlightenment at some point. We have a 177 Industrial right now, and he still has over 10 forests to clear, and his generals are low level too. You could definitely get to 180+ in Industrial if you wanted to.

We have a lvl 179 IA currently in THE UNKNOWN. He is determined to max b4 moving up and figures he has 10+ lvls to go b4 truly maxing. These would be interesting stats to have but after a certain point it's better to move up IMO. We preach max bases in our alliance but have a loose definition of "max". This is our advise to our group when to move up. MA lvl 75, GPA lvl 105-110, EA lvl 130+, IA lvl 150+, GBA lvl 190-200. Don't have any AA on team yet.

There is already an incentive to make your base strong before moving on: protecting your resources. If you only do your troop upgrades and then rush to the next age, your defenses are weak, and your resources will be stolen all the time. If you totally max out your base, nobody will ever attack you, provided that you have a decent layout + active blessings.

183ish is max for IA, maxing out EA is a waste of time. If you have good loot any IA player will take you down. Also IA is probably the best age to raid at and rake in the loot.

 

[Danix den Andre]

obviously, this is related to medal level as well

 

[Rorchach]

Wtf are u talking about

 

[Danix den Andre]

when to move on, levels ages and such

Apparently there's a Classical player bordering on 50 - look up the alliance "Imperium", it's a few alliances down in the results but it's got that red banner with the hand print. The only player in that closed alliance is level 49 - that's higher than some GPA players you can find at low medals.

I think Global Age is that point now. Especially with the armory change to allow two upgrades at the same time. Industrial has it really hard when it comes to raiding for oil since a lot of enlightenment age bases don't make more than 500 oil to loot, a lot are even at 0 oil; this means that if you are trying to raid up oil, which you will since the armory upgrades you generally want will be completed relatively fast, you will have a tougher time than being at global age -- where atleast most industrial players atleast have some oil to grab + the 150 bonus oil for destroying all the oil buildings.

It's why my lvl 146 Industrial alt account is currently upgrading to Global Age. I can't deal with enlightenment age bases wasting my precious training blessing time with their 0 oil to loot bases. I guess the jist of what I'm trying to say is: if you are looking to loot for oil instead of gold/food then atleast upgrade to Global Age.

 

[Veldan]

I don't get this. You don't have to pick Enlightenment bases when you're Industrial, there are plenty of Industrials and Globals in the player bracket. Unless you're sitting in Copper medal range, there you will definitely find more EA. But I found that if I'm anywhere in the Silver medal ranges, I can find plenty of oil as IA player. All that moving up will do is expose you to AA attacks.

 

[_Flash_]

The difference: attacking Industrial Age bases using Global Age troops versus attacking them using Industrial Age troops.

Exposure to AA attacks can be handled, and isn't an issue for active players, if they know to work with peace treaties and get peace treaties by adjusting their medal ranges. At certain medal ranges, raider attacks are more prevalent, and they don't give you peace treaties and you end up losing a lot of resources through repeated attacks, while at certain medal ranges, full army attacks are more prevalent, and you nearly always get peace treaties after losing resources to a single attack, giving you peace for the next 12 to 16 hours.
Active farming attacks each day can more than offset losing some resources to AA attackers. It might be an issue for lesser active players though.

Farming Industrial Age bases with Global Age troops is far more efficient than farming them with Industrial Age troops.

By extension of this logic, it doesn't hurt active players to advance through the ages by focusing on upgrading offensive capabilities.

While this game has elements of city building, it's a combat strategy game at the core. That's why maxing everything before advancing through the ages isn't efficient (definitely not farms and caravans).
Selective upgrades which improve combat capabilities (and selectively choosing combat capabilities which one uses the most) is far more efficient over attempting to max everything at every age.
Maxing everything at every age is not a bad thing if city building is the aspect of the game that one enjoys. But, it's not for those focusing on the combat strategy aspect of the game.
Different strokes for different folks!

*Disclaimer: Some of these numbers were prior to the introduction of the Museum, so they could be off by possibly one XP level*
I'm kind of obsessive about this, admittedly, so while I've been playing this game I've been steadfastly pursuing the goal of maxing-out every Age, which includes chopping down all available Forest tiles, and upgrading absolutely everything which affords xp, prior to moving up an Age. In order to record these values, I took screenshots of every Age upgrade screen. And these are the results, enjoy!
(I started doing this in Classical Age, btw)

Max Xp lvls per Age

Classical Age: xp lvl 50.
Medieval Age: xp lvl 82 (possibly 83, now)
Gunpowder Age: xp lvl 112 (possibly 113, now)
Enlightenment Age: xp lvl 143 (probably the same)
Industrial Age: xp lvl 186 (probably the same)
Global Age: I am currently in Global and my xp lvl is 219, but that's not nearly the max. If I were to guess, I'd say that it's somewhere around 230.

I'll post an update, once I move to Atomic Age. Btw, somebody probably could have done this quicker, but I spent a lot of time working only in the University, in Industrial Age.

 

[Cannibals]

Yup, Medieval is 83 now and Gunpowder is 113.
