What's the point about high medals?

[kloputzer]

What is the point about a high medal range? As for my experience, it's pointless to stay in high medal range as it is much harder to raid opponents and the loot outcome is poor. If I stay in low medal range I can get much more loot. Perhaps some of the high medal range guys can make things clearer? How much loot do you get in average from a base? I am in Age of Enlightenment and when I was in medal range at about 1500 I barely couldn't get as much loot as in low medal range. I have all troops and defences maxed out and walls at level 9, exp level 123. In low medal range I regularly raid bases out of which I get about 100k - 250k gold. Is it the same at high level range? Or is there loot to get at rates of, let's say 600k+?

I used to play around 600 medals until I got bored and decided to chase medals. From my experiences there's much more loot in higher leagues. In the higher leagues where players prioritize protecting their medals, resource buildings are often times unprotected and left out in the open. You've also got many players that are near max levels and so they tend to store their resources without having anything to spend it on. Lastly, the battle bonuses in the higher leagues are awesome. In Dynasty II for example, the bonus is 253,00 food and gold and 540 oil. Every battle won, you get that bonus.

Playing at 200-600 medals was convenient because I would easily loot abandoned bases and not have to worry about winning the battle. There used to be a lot of maxed bases that were abandoned in that range until Nexon cleaned up a lot of the cheater bases. Since then I don't regret chasing after high medals.

I agree that there is a dead zone around gold and kingdom league in terms of resources. That's largely because the players here are still active and commonly protect and use up their resources before logging off. If you have the patience though I think it's worth it in the end.

Things change overtime so ill only speak of where im at. 3200 medals 223k gold and food and 450 oil league bonus. 200k gold and 1500oil is probably average

So 423k gold and 2k oil is pretty average per battle.

Once in a blue moon ull find 700k gold or 6k oil + league bonus

At 2700 medals, 110k league bonus, bases are a mix of abandonned/cheater max wall on their way down (or floating around) and normal bases on the way up. Gold & food around 100-300k, can keep nexting to find a nice base (too many lvl13 max, TC & FC types though - these folk need removing).

At 2699 the no opponent hardly appears, at 2701 it starts popping up either immediately or after 2 or 3 next's.

With longer upgrade times, going for medals is something to do and collect the crown bonuses along the way.

Once in a blue moon there's a base worth more than 1 medal

Since the update of World War, above 2500 medals its getting difficult to find open TC(since players are protecting their tc for WW battles) for QV & Raiders base dps is reduced further, I am getting no opponents issue much more . All these factors changed my decision to progress further into Empire & Dynasty league. It depends upon player comfort zone ultimately

Not to forget TC hitpoint increased with well connected roads with buildings is a major setback for Medal hunters

At 2450 i find good loots. My battles provide roughly 250k gold on average. It's enough to develop your base if you play 1-1.5hour over day. The challenge for me is to progress through leagues. I win 1 medal at the time but regularly lose 10-20 medals on defense. And i have to restart all over again. I stopped worrying about medals now, staying just above 2,400 is fine. As long as the medal system will reward player based on their ranking and not the star they win, I don't see how I can progress (provided I don't have more time to spend in this game)

 

[kloputzer]

Thanks. I guess I'll just stay in the comfort zone for now. Soon I will enter industrial age and for sure it will be not easy in early stage. I want to upgrade most of my defense and troops first, so resources are priority. At high medal range I don't see how I'd be able to get enough loot in reasonable time and without wasting too many troops.

 

[Vissor]

I play the best on 200 medals.

 

[Ravenlord]

200?!!! You big baby!

 

[Eddie F1]

200, as in you tried at 2000 & 3000 but discovered 200 is best?

 

[Slandis]

Yes I've been above 2000 medals and it's way easier to make more money in shorter time in lower medal range

No Title

If you are Industrial Age and have max. troops level, better to keep your medals range : 2000(kingdom) - 2600(empire). You will find more loots + trade goods + league bonus rather than stay on lower medals. Moreover, your attacking skill will be extremely increased. Attached one of my screenshot as sample case.

I currently near maxed troops Industrial level, no generals though, and the best range hands down is 1200-1400/1500, there I can find enough 300k gold bases, and in a Training Blessing season, since nexting time isn't that much, I raid the most. Gold I mean, oil I have no problem at all, raiding now a solid 40-45k every day.

The max I have gone though is 1800, so I don't know if things get better higher medals, but that point at least started to be TERRIBLE, I wasted Training Bleassings with only like 4-5 targets, not only levels 16+ bases, I can do that bases already, but loot under 200k, lol, wth honestly, that was actually an average loot for gunpowder, for industrial?

If you don't raid an average 300k per raid, I don't see how you are gonna upgrade walls... Working now for example on level 10, 3 million each, I upgrade around 3 a day...

With the bases I saw on 1800 range, I don't see how I could acomplish that... Unless of course that is a dead zone, and say you reach next leagues, and you can average loot + league bonus a solid 450k average raid, for example...

Oil I have no problem at all, raiding now a solid 40-45k every day.

Wow...I never seem to get any oil from battles. I need to climb medals stat.

 

[WorldMyster]

Sorry I'm late..but I'd like to respond. I like to feel as though I've spexperienced a game fully. Playing at high medals had done that for me. But NO ONE stays at high medals for long...if they are cheating then they are easily found and banned at a high level...if they are playing most of the day, that is hardly sustainable so they will eventually drop...and if you get high enough...the server will not find you opponents and you will mostly be attacked for your medals. I'm currently around 21-2200 and that seems to be a pretty good level for the time being.

 

[Aitor-NationsLeague]

How much loot do you make in bases there?

 

[Mrhuskey910]

I try to stay around copper 1 medal range(600-800). I do a lot of raiding a day usually around 75 to 125 and try to collect 16 mil in gold a day until I have level 12 walls. Currently at level 11. Once I get fully maxed out defense and walls I will start medaling. This range is perfect for the way i like to play as I find plenty of 200k gold a raid and rarely lose any troops so less time training plus training blessing 3 to 4 times a day. Plus I leave my food out in the open so I get 25 to 45 crowns a night for defending and really never lose alot of gold. My oil I might lose 3 to 10k a night depends on how many dynamite raiders have. I really don't see the point of having high medals unless u have nothing to really upgrade but the most I've ever had was 1600 so it could be worth it.

Wow so nice Mr! I only really make 10 millions... And that the good days...

You attack with full army, or with raiders? You French?

Thanks.

 

[Mrhuskey910]

I hate raiders. Don't see the point of just losing troops for 250k then spending a bunch of time training. I'm Romans 148 troop space. I use 6 tanks 1 Mk2 2 supply carts. 29 shooters and 18 warriors and 1 horse raider. I also have airship and 1 biplane.

 

[Mrhuskey910]

If u would like to look at base and see I upgrade 4 walls a day most days besides when spending gold on defenses. I'm Maximus lvl 143 Tarheels Elite
