Why some people won't show their real level?

[T4TiFooS]

As far as I noticed till now player's XP has not effect on any thing, but day by day I see more players who wont show their real lvl by no upgraded roads, specially our extremely tough opponents in wars that almost all of em follow this pattern!
And it has made me more curious to know am I missed something? Does something occurred with it recently?
Or maybe there is a glitch with it and some players are aware of it?
But am realy glad that required lvl increased massively for CWA and hope it will be increased to at least lvl 260-270 for SA!

Let they under estimate you is good strategy in War!

And road upgrade is a waste of time for war, better use your workers on something that fires!

sandbaggin players who war. Don't upgrade roads and farms makes a huge difference in your war opponents levels

I don't war but I think that king of thing ruins the war mechanics.

 

[Mcnasty]

Roads, farms and caravans don’t effect your war weight. I knew someone that didn’t upgrade them and was at 125 xp but in war he was ranked higher then someone at 150. War rank goes by offensive and defensive capability not your xp.

Your XP has very little to do with war weight. My alt actually has an extremely low war weight (limited defenses) and falls well below lower age players in our war rankings. But roads are maxed, and resource buildings are up, so the XP number is relatively high.

I would put the real blame on Nexon here, for having a stupid XP system (early roads are worth 10+ levels each), and failing to compress the midgame upgrade times so that people are skipping upgrades just to get to an interesting age more quickly.

 

[Quovatis]

Upgrading roads, caravans, and farms are pretty useless for active players.

 

[LordAnubis]

On my main I dont give a flying rats butt about xp. On my alt I do opting for a no rush low xp approach seeing how big I can get with minimal xp gain. Fun to play completely opposite ends of the spectrum.

And why worry about such a minor thing in a game filled with cheaters and bugs?

This is what still I believe it, but also I believe there is should be something else for more interesting !
maybe like more war loots ? still Iv doubt war loot rewards are based on what ? level or strength ?

we need a voice from the devs team to ensure about some topics !

 

[Quang t legend]

war loot depend on your age and the target age, and if your team win or lose.

 

[T4TiFooS]

There are many stupid decisions ... the worthless thing (road) gives the biggest XP among other stuffs and instantly increasing level around 10-15 ,while university the most important thing in the game gives nothing !
both of them make a fake level & strength for a player !
and now they will reveal the university researches by a new info windows !
when I think about their decisions I just cant stop laughing !

OK.. I don't understand why anyone would choose to do that then.. I mean if your farming. its nice to have loot coming in as well as raiding. I get suckered into attacks because of people sandbaggin. its a bit frustrating but I do the opposite I snipe resources with the intent of losing trophies to keep me in a league I like so to each their own.

 

[T4TiFooS]

this is what still I think many players like you are wrong and that's why still they follow this pattern !

there is two things is possible : TinSoldier is right or the system has glitch with it and you are right !

 

[Bootney Lee Fonsworth]

Farms and caravans affect your war weight to a small degree as they increase the total hp of your base. Nothing to really plan around though.

 

[T4TiFooS]

disagree ! only strength of defensive/offensive buildings&troops counts in weight! farms hp effects on 5 starring the base !

 

[Bootney Lee Fonsworth]

And you don't think the total hp of everything on the base is a factor in war weight? Then why do walls make such a difference? All they are are literal blocks of hp that you don't even need to destroy all of.

I'm not saying the difference between a level 8 and 11 farm is a huge difference, but there's a difference.

All things being equal in gunpowder age I'd bet that a base with a vault has more war weight than one that doesn't. Same principle.

 

[NoMem Wilson]

Walls do not raise your war rank. And offense barely does. Most war rank come from defense and the cumulative hp of a base

 

[Manifesto]

So let me get this straight: The complaints are that economic factors like roads, farms, caravans don't affect war ranking, but offensive & defensive factors (things actually important in war), does affect the ranking?
Nothing wrong with that as far as I can see. Your opponents are using strategy to deceive you, what else were you expecting? And who's to say you can't do the same thing?

 

[SiuYin]

Hiding level will not impact your war ranking

My road stay in Medieval until I need its XP for Cold War. But in War, I normally got higher ranking than players with 20lv higher

There is nothing changed, it only make you looks "weaker"

 

[T4TiFooS]

@Bootney Lee Fonsworth , @NoMem Wilson
both of you are wrong at some points ! wall is a defense factor in war rank and war weight and also has a huge effect on both of them !
this is just another stupid decision from the devs team that walls does not give any XP !
as far as I noticed offense and defense factor have/had same war weight but as TinSoldier mentioned somewhere offense factors going be counted more than defense factors ( Idk maybe it already applied to the war weight)!
non defensive buildings HP has not effect on war weight ,they only effects on 5 starring the base !

 

[T4TiFooS]

it was just a big question for me as far as I see plenty of players follow this pattern and day by day they increasing...
I was sure many players are wrong bout them and they think it has effect on war weight and also its due to underestimating...
but just guessed maybe somethings changed and Im not aware about !
