Attacking players with a much lower level..

I have a question about this topic, I was raided by a player at level 132, HeadGames is 68 and he had no idea who I was so that's not the reason. He said its for easy PVP and if I didn't like it he can just blacklist me.


This same player has also raided a player in my league level 49 that has been playing for only a short time and they haven't logged in since the attack. This was an attack at 90 levels lower than his BTW.


Not sure if I can post his name but he has a "ReallyCoolName" and is a "Rebel" of a player, do I have any recourse? Can plarium do something or is this just the way it is?

Hello and I understand you

For my part I recommend to my players not to attack levels below 25 or 30 levels (and that above levels 60) below we do not attack.

I think Plarium could do something about preventing it from attacking a level below 30 levels (unless this level attacks you first, it exists in hamlets)

The only concern is the level above 110 to 140 otherwise they have no one to attack LOL.

Admittedly, now, Plarium is not a philatropic enterprise and does everything to earn money :) therefore no interest for them to limit the attacks :))

Hi, I agree that it can be frustrating to be attacked from much higher levels. I personally am raided at least 2 times a month, from higher levels than me, without giant armies but with friends, so if I leave out of the units, I defeat him but if I don't play then I will destroy myself much more powerful players. It has been happening for a year. I haven't stopped playing and I won't stop. It is not a problem to be raided, even if it takes 50k of food, with all the castles to be raided that are near me it is not a problem. The real problem is if you forget about the units. My advice (obviously personal, I don't expect anyone to approve, but that's what I will do / would do) is to always keep all the units in the catacombs, if you are in a large coven then get along and go and raid it. If, on the other hand, to good friends who do not want to look for problems, you decide one day (it has already been recommended to you) to prepare a "trick" for your opponent. Remember that every 100 defense points of the castle you have 1% more, so hurry up to a good percentage. Remember also that you can revive up to 30% of the defense that dies by defending yourself. Infone I agree that the level does not necessarily represent the power of a player, but in my opinion it is still a good indicator. I hope I have helped you.

Get used to putting your troops to bed every time you go away. You can load up your battle groups to fight from the same window. Make it a habit, especially if you are going to be away for a while. Spend your rez. Don't leave them much. The biggest drag is your Weor's temple getting down graded if you don't have a lot of 12 hour boosts. If that happens, you can use your help button too to have your league mates shorten the restore time. Keep your Paragon active and level it up as much as you can. At different levels it gives you the option to have your trained units go directly to your cats. Me personally, I don't really attack anybody. If I want a few PvP points for a tourney or quest, I throw some troops into the Hamlets. For raids I stay away from badged castles and watch their levels for a bit, doing my best to only raid NPCs. Bottom line it's a war game and as such, we really have no real right to expect to go unmolested by anyone, regardless of their rank.

And how does all that relate to the original question? Sure you and the other guy saying "it's a war game" base your claims on anything else than subtile of the game?

You know....your "truly unlimited internet connection" isn't really meant for spamming forums....
It's good advice.  This is a war game, just have to accept that sometimes people may hit you and be prepared.  Plarium isn't going to stop somebody from attacking him in game just because he doesn't like it.  (if they do let me know, I'd like them to stop people from hitting my beacons too)

Just catacomb troops and quit whining about level, level is nothing in this game, if someone raid you every day save up some saps, build some CDB, join a big league and trap them, plenty of big leagues around that will help you. Or you can always play farmeville instead, this is the most hardcore game in the world, take it or leave it.


And there are plenty of saviors of the galaxy around wanting to trap these bastards, cause that is what they are, crying about it will do nothing though, work hard and kill them.


And for the Record that guy whit a cool name he dont have many troops, I kick his behind from time to time.

Ultimately this is a war game. Have to remember that.




All this is On Point ! 

All I could add is if a low level castle is being a pain I just save in contacts for future farming reference.

While Veal is sweet to eat  you can live on a Full grown Beefer for a lot longer ;) 

i love ur reasonings,and now this proverb they make sense even to someone like me whose language isnt even english

I guess the broader point being made is that there's no real chance of new players staying the course if they're going to get smacked before they've even joined a league or figured out all the new crap that we're still figuring out.

Server 1 is a huge mess, and it could collapse if this issue is not addressed. I do understand that this is a war game. But the lifeblood of every game its new players. When a major league sees nothing wrong with actively hunting down new players for PvP points to a point of actively defend this activity.

Server 2 instituted this policy of not attacking players that are 20 levels below your level. Maybe this could help.


Points of view  my Lord...

In my opinion server 1 is the best , and i saw so many epic battles which i didn't ever saw them on the other servers...just saying

Hello Michele , 

i'm sorry you think that about Plarium , 

they don't make everything just to earn money ,and always there are free gifts for everyone ... sure there are some advantages which you can have them just buying ...

but back to the topic of this post...i saw too a lot pvp hunters , big levels attacking low levels ...but i saw too some big VIP which lost a lot against a low level well defended by his friends and his league mates...and since there is a 250.000 limit force for the attack on a castle... 

 

  you can set very nice traps for the pvp hunters....just saying 

I wish you a good day and good game !

I am a player of Sparta: War of Empires (starting SF in a few moments). I would like to point out that attacking an active player is barely beneficial, as they'll both keep everything in their Acropolis (the place where units can't be killed, whatever the SF counterpart is), and have 0 resources at all times.

Hello Lord Uranato, 

yes , Stormfall and Sparta are very similarly , so the strategies are almost the same (99,9%)   and that one to protect your units in catacombs (in Stormfall) / acropolis(Sparta) is a good one ! 

I wish you a good day and good game ! And hope to see you also in Stormfall, why not....

Hi Michele, I also think 25 to 30 levels lower is fair sized window and yes players at 130 need to drop down a lot to have fun. But also like you I think attacking new players at such a low level should be prevented some how. I do not trust these ReallyCoolNames or players like that to be honorable and have good sportsmanship.

had an attacker ,a very big one,not talking about levels,a full eld woerian army !

people all were like hw can u let that player raid u this much. YOU !!! wont go into that !! 

any winning league gives around 3k saphs.it is possible to upgrade walls without even spending,but for the sake of argument ill set this aside

the higher the diference in attacker/defender force,the less units die ! a player,single player,attacks a member of a whole league,put enough defense in there and not only defending party would lose much that can not b recovered with a week or 2 of brawls but also kill everything of the attacker

caught that attacker of mine,finally, after a month, getting around 1.9 mil pvp in total,how much did i lose ? less than one k beast/cult

so in the end,i think level dsnt matter when it comes to a castle attack,no matter the level difference

but as u said,this is a very interesting topic,worth hearing others ideas and viewpoints

I see your point here fURY, my biggest concern is this player who hasn't come back. I don't know if they lost everything or what? They are just gone now after this.


But you are right about the defense to a point, that is if someone played long enough to have walls and in a league big enough to actually provide the defense. There are many players in small leagues who could lose an entire leagues defense trying such a thing. This is not about balance, this is about the play-ability of the game.


I do believe it is worth discussing.

in my idea this is okay,i mean higher levels attacking lower players !

1.there is a force limit (250k) on attacking castles,there is non on reinforcements.also when it comes down to force limit ,level of a player means nothing,i've seen players lvl 80 having that much offense


2.if this was a hamlet,a lower lvl player surely would be in a disadvantage,for which reason plarium fixed hamlet levels,which makes it so only players of the same level range can attack each other


3.also as i said before,a castle can be reinforced with so many players,can be attacked only by one,and only with a limited army .defender is in a league which has league mates who can reinforce so much even a full eldritch hammer could fail


4.there are many other factors affecting the player defending,making it much harder for attacker

disadvantage a: most these attacks have to be a raid and not a siege

disadvantage b: castle walls drastically increase defense power of units ! so one unit of urs,can be working instead of 4.5

disadvantage c: if u know a player,u can always draw their pattern map

there are many more,i cant remember,but anyways


combine these factors and no high level cant attack any castle.

Also, one more thing - the fact that Plarium introduced the feature of unlimited space in the Acropolis, high-level players should no longer be a problem.

then what about defense :p iv reinforced against players 140+ ... and iv been doing this even when i was lvl 80 till now... no matter how u look at it,there are always problems with any solution u think would solve a problem ...

or just as wesley pointed out some lower lvl players could use alts to do nothing but harass.. 

in the end noone would attack a player for nothing,remove these factors,and they wont be attacked

1.pvp ,units out

2.trolling,or being a pain,lets say in my eye

3.resources (this one not so much,i mean its just like 200k resources or something

absent these factors,the attacker him/herself has some kind of an issue.thats neither fair game nor understandable.i wouldnt like a player like that,and dnt think anyone would either


I didn't see your well thought out response. 

If a lower player attacks a castle reinforced by a higher level player, that is not seen as an attack on him. 

The higher level player can only attack the lower level player when the lower level player attacks him directly. Once a lower level player reach level 80, any player can attack, even if the player is level 130. After level 30, its free game. 

i totally believe u when u said u didnt see that

Now to explain the point I raised about server 2. What happens is that a player is not allowed to attack a player who is 20 level below him. For example, a player of level 80 can't attack a player of level 59. When provoked, all bets are off. So if a level 59 attacks a level 80 settlement, for example, the level 80 can attack back. This restriction do not apply once a castle in past level 80/85. 


I think leagues in server 1 should consider this. It's not a perfect system as you mentioned but it did wonders in server 2. It should be given some thought in server 1.

then what about defense :p iv reinforced against players 140+ ... and iv been doing this even when i was lvl 80 till now... no matter how u look at it,there are always problems with any solution u think would solve a problem ...
