the level 220 is ok. It is 50 levels below max level which can be reached in AA so there is enough space. I do not like when the bases with 2 ages below buildings rush to new age
The problem is the difference between age are NOT consistant ...
Medieval to Gunpodwer : 9 levels
Gunpowder to Enlightenment: 22 Levels
Enlightenment to Industrial is: 20 Levels
Industrial to Global is: 50 Levels * (more easy to do, because the road upgrade)
Global to Atomic is: 20 Levels
Atomic to Clod War is: 70 Levels
One important factor is the road upgrade can give you a HUGE step to the next age. (I do about half the 50 levels from Indu to Global this way (2 road upgrade)).
I believe, levels 200 (Atomic to CW), will have be in the game normal process (50 levels).
Even I am not close to 200, I will work for this (even buy some crowns).
But to go levels 220 will cost me over 500$ (usd) to reach this levels in acceptable time (If I follow the suggestion of ONE player).
I think many players are in a close situation than mine.
Anyway, I have slow down my time on this game now, will look for other game(s) (and probably not from Nexon (the way they setup high levels)).
I also find VERY UNPROFESSIONAL to delete my poll (nothing offensive to do a poll about this)...
