WW matching- Help us!

[Wendy]

Hi everybody!
This post is not to complain about WW Matching and iron base stacking, as there are many and it's pointless to write another one.
I'm here because the last 4 wars have been a nightmare for us: 2 iron age stacking alliances that made use lose about 1400 gp and 2 very bad alliances ( found in 35 players wars) that made us earn about 140 (70 gp each).
Assumed that we are not going to play with iron age profiles, is there something that you suggest to do about it in order to avoid ( or at least try to) this kind of wars?

At the moment we are:
1 global age (since yesterday, so no troops no defense, but almost capped industrial)
5 almost capped industrial with army and a few defenses missing, one of them global in a few days
About 10 industrial age still upgrading the army ( many with tanks, artillery or riflemen)
5-6 capped EA
5 Gp age
1 medieval

Should we add a couple of medieval age? what about 35 wars? Are they all against crappy alliances? and 40?
we have a camp and we can take players from there to make a lot of combinatios, so wich do you think is the best?
Do you suggest our industrial age players to go straight to GA without finish upgrading defenses?

Going from 12th position in glory points ranking to outside ranking in 6 days has been a little frustrating.
thank you very much for the future help!

You need your IA to move up to global and get ther upgrades in order... stat. You are mid range heavy which attracts the iron stacking match. Once you've a little more top heavy you'll find you'll match up with them less. It won't eliminate it but it will be less.

In our experience, nearly 100% of wars at 40/45 are against stacked teams. About 50% of 30/35 wars are against stacked teams, and then a bit lower if you drop into the 20s but it really sucks to exclude all those people from team activities.

We have had to drop to 30/35 member wars, and bring enough offensive power to have at least a chance to 5* 20-25 max global bases for a stalemate. Getting those IA to global offense will help. It has worked in some, but not all cases. Even when it does, its still not really fun. Hate to sound all doom and gloom, but I think until nexon actually does something, its the reality of war right now unless you want to join the manufactured mismatch crowd and add in undeveloped bases (hopefully you dont and props for that!)

You'll never see an Iron age in war in ITALIANI 2016, don't worry, we like tough wars with alliances at our level or a little higher.
We will try next war at 30,using just one more medieval instead of a couple of EA or GP,to lower just a little. if it does't work we'll make a rotation to play at 25.
thanks both of you for the infos!
Hope nexon fix this soon
