Oh I never knew mortar guys were classified as ''light siege''. Nice to know

 

[NateTheGreat]

Wow I've done a good job upgrading everything except farms, caravans, and roads to Atomic Age. I don't plan on upgrading them, it's a waste of experience that unnecessarily raises my player level .

 

[LordStark263AC]

My 138 Enlightenment Age Lord Tywin account is ready to be Industrial, perfect timing.

 

[oddin]

I had 2 medieval alt accounts at level 78-80. I advanced 2 ages on the first and soon 3 at the other. I have so much fun playing with my alts instead of my cwa. Loot is so easy now when you are at enlightment age than what it was when I was there with my main account.

 

[LordStark263AC]

Straight up, Enlightenment Age and lower is still fun. A little more challenging but doable.

Hopefully Industrial Age hasn't been affected too much by the Rebalance.

 

[oddin]

I dont know what is more fun...the base layouts that are horrible? The resource protection which does not exist? the walls which are level 4-7?
The fact that we have experience and everything seems so easy? The buildings that after the 14 day upgrades, all seem to insta finish in those ages? Dominations is so much better when you play at a low level...

Nice to see someone else at 130+ Enlightenment! - I'm at 132 but slacking on farms and caravans, mainly due to boosts from Uni, Library and Casino (sorry, museum.) Also moving up to Industrial. I've enjoyed Enlightenment Age but time to move on.

Also agree with wrathchild_78 - there are some truly bizarre bases around.

 

[No Angel]

My IA account has never been raided for like 3 months!
I've been IA since last winter rush can you guys believe it OMG I am so LAZY?! (I advanced when I was level 85) Level 130s now and time to move on to GA at Global Rush.
It's fun in IA, but maxed IA bases will attract more silo bases. I believe in rushing ages, that's why keeping minimum defense is a lot more fun if you participate in wars regularly (accompanied with low medal count).
IMHO when we reach minimum age requirement for advancing, we really should advance. We'll get better troops to fight people the same level but lower ages . But that's just me.

 

[LordStark263AC]

Yes I agree with you guys, Enlightenment Age does have some dodgy bases that's been rolled back from Industrial or Global, but hey, you get more Mysterious Fragments for it though.

Bryan_k you my type if player, maxing out everything before Aging up. On my main account, back in the day I was 142 Enlightenment with maxed out walls, Industrial 182 with Maxed out walls, 208 Global with Maxed out walls and right now I'm Atomic 230 with maxed out walls. I was gonna go up to CWA January but now I'm not so sure, maybe I'll wait till SOA (Summer Rush). Don't know.

LordStark263AC - Yep prefer to keep everything up to spec, especially as the devs seem to change the goalposts more often now. It also catches people out.. I just had an IA attacker that used full tactics (decoys, demolition) tanks, mercs, artillery etc. They got a grand total of zero stars, zero gold, zero food and 103 Oil. Think they were a little shocked lol. Like you I was I was tempted to hold off but that convinced me I'm going up to IA, where I'm planning on spending a more leisurely few months until the summer, when I don't have a lot of time for playing.

No Angel - I've read the pros and cons on advancing/rushing - it's just not my style. I prefer to have a whole box of stuff in my arsenal, so if the current game of musical chairs with the devs continues I won't get caught out Besides I have a lot of patience and have found different troop combinations that work surprisingly well. I've not put them on the forum as it seems no-one is interested in anything much lower than GA. Maybe I should.

 

[No Angel]

Not every player above GA is a good attacker Bryan_k thus every troop combo, gameplay, etc in lower ages is never obsolete to post here
Maybe those high-end guys need to be reminded sometimes!
I also have GP accounts, it's super fun playing there feels weird without air units though (and Decoys)
