So to me this is like a mediaeval game (lol). And each base represents a kingdom. Kingdoms have always been attacked by stronger kingdoms and the weaker one falls. But on clash this happens if you are lv 20 with TH3 being attacked by a TH6. Or me with maxed TH8 lv 89 being beat up by a TH9. That is what makes the game interesting. If the game wasn't like that I would have quit a long time ago. Because TH8 troops could not 100% my base (not counting De troops cause I haven't been attacked by much of those) fairly certain (haven't seen it in war or on raids). That is why kingdoms don't attack kingdoms with similar strength because you know it will be a waste of time and will not accomplish much if you win. Attacking kingdoms (bases) that are smaller allow them to concur and become stronger (getting loot for upgrades).
I know that I cannot hope to get more then 2 out 3 stars attacking another maxed TH8(I dont like the idea ;P)
If you just feel the need to test your skills war! And go to a league were your lv and base are fit and search for others that are your lv
