Hi there,
I'm in Enlightment Age at lvl 117.
I'm getting a mix of opponents from level ~85 up to 163. I skip everything above lvl 120, sometimes I win, but mostely too strong ;)

But because of the missing air-defense and mitting tanks in EA I'm thinking about to proceed now to IA.

I've researched all trops to the max, all factory to the max, all library,
But not all towers are max, only the normal towers and the ballista tower.. Redoubt and catapult are one level behind.

So my question:
What mix of opponents I'll get in the IA? Only downto level 120 or maybe sometimes evel a lower level?

Can you give an advice?

Thx

same with your opponent now, only you will never encounter any gunpowder base anymore. the MM it based on age and medal only not by level (Industrial age MM range is EA and IA only)

Something that people forget to do is make sure you have maxed your mill and market before proceeding to IA. Everything requires maxed EA mill or market to upgrade.

Its going be hard no matter :) Next tip, don't upgrade everything before transition leave something to do while you adjust. You be hit hard for resource. Do those little upgrade so you don't have resources to steal when the big boys hit :)

Same here. The game became insanely difficult. I shouldn't have rushed IA, but oh well...
I second this. I maxed out everything before upgrading except for generals and walls/gates. But the thing I wish I had done more of before making the leap was walls. I would have at least made sure I had all Level 9s. Boring and tedious, but early IA bases are so vulnerable.

Switch to French, train wall sappers and raiders. You can snipe max IA bases and steal their resources pretty easily. Do that long enough so you can upgrade your buildings and units. Then use mixed army again if you want.

I went to IA with medieval age defense and I survived :)

Sorry Hk, doesn't work anymore. The raiders die like flies when hitting the tc. It still works will mottos but the ones on horses are no good.

Well then I'm glad I played when the game was still fun, moving from mass heavy cavalry to mass raiders. Now I'm using mass artillery until they nerf it :)
