why am i getting attacked by level 70 when I'm at level 40?

[FarmerCharmer]

if you are a 5th grader, why are you roaming at high schooler's league?

it's your own fault for challenging high leagues, drop your league if you feel that you don't have the skill to challenge high schooler with 5th grader's strength.

some people like to challenge stronger people, obviously with enough skill, otherwise they won't be able to do it.

Finally someone with sense

It's like a featherweight challenging a super heavyweight to a boxing match and whining when he gets his behind whooped

You want fairer play? Stay in your league and don't challenge those in higher ones

Then the formula needs to be changed. That's one messed up formula.

There are other mechanisms to protect the low level player from high levels.

There's the loot penalty which is based on the town hall level of the attacker vs the town hall level of the defender:

Town Hall Level Difference	Percentage of Loot Available
Same or higher level	100%
1 level lower	90%
2 levels lower	50%
3 levels lower	25%
4 or more levels lower	5%

So if you get attacked by a town hall 2 levels higher than you, you only lose 50% of the loot rather than 100% like if a same town hall level player would attack you. So you could be loosing less loot by being attacked by a higher level player, in fact.

Then there's also the loot cap which is smaller on lower town hall levels:

Town Hall Level	% Available to be Stolen	Cap	Storage Amount to Reach Cap
1-5	20%	200,000	1,000,000
6	18%	200,000	1,111,111
7	16%	250,000	1,562,500
8	14%	300,000	2,142,857
9	12%	350,000	2,916,667
10	10%	400,000	4,000,000

But as you can see all of the above works based on town hall level. If you upgrade your town hall too early then you are further exposing yourself to more damaging attacks from higher levels.


Also there's nothing stoping you from revenging those higher levels (as long as level difference is not too much). You would have to use stronger troops to take them on, but you could get your loot back. Some of this attackers which prey on lower levels have really poor defenses themselves.

remember this thread when you reach lvl70 and come across a juicy lvl40 base packed full of loot and run it over

[AxionXD]

What TH are you and that level 70? Sounds like he was a TH8 as you emphasized on his having a king. So if your a TH7, well, why are you a TH7 at level 40? If your a TH6, his loot penalty would have prevent too much loss.

Confusous says, right now you are the nail. Soon, you will be the hammer.

Do you attack bases that are a lot lower than you? I bet you do.

I don't because there's usually not enough resources. However, the issue isn't whether I am. The question Is... Why am I be able to raid a level 15 when I'm a level 7p?

Because "there's usually not enough resources" for the level 70 player, because of the loot penalties mentioned earlier. So there's no incentive for the level 70 player to attack much lower player (assuming there's 2 town hall levels or more between them).

If they're only one town hall level higher, there's the possibility of fighting back via revenge (you'll need to be good at attacking and them weak on defenses).

OP-adjust ur game strategy. SC is not gonna change the game for one player. nuff said.

Because SC made the game to match up people based on trophies, not levels.


"Level" is simply a function of buildings built + troops donated + THs destroyed.


You can be TH 4 and donate stuff all day long for a year and get to level 200. Does that mean you can take on a TH10? Nope.

People purposely lose trophies to put themselves in a better spot to attack people that generally have weaker bases and more loot.

Player level simply does not matter in this game. A level 70 player can be more upgraded than a level 100 player. In that case the level 70 player would win 8/8 times m8.

Revenge rarely works because 95% their base Is offline
