I havent read one post in here yet about a low level trophy chaser whining about getting smacked down by a stronger player!!! Maybe I missed them all, there are tons of posts in here!! But I have read tons of whining from high level paying players because with the new update they had to fight players equaling their own strength and they couldnt win or get resources from them. Bottom line is the higher paying players can only win and get resources easy if they attack a level much much lower then them, they have difficulty when it comes to players who are capable with them!
I like the challenge, I pick my own battles and never go after lower villages...I earn my trophies by battling with villages capable with mine or much higher!!! To me a level 105 or 91 attacking a 47 or being able to is just pointless, there is no comparison among them all. Its like a 12 grader beating up a 6th grader and bragging that he crushed him and won!! How impressive is that!!!
If thats how the game is played then so be it.....

Ps in response to 5 they are already to many walls and to number 8 that would take away the whole point for being in a clan that isn't in the top 5 competing for the tournament
Sun Tzu says:
Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.
This means, you pick battles that you've already won. In simpler terms, don't fight a fair fight. This is a very basic war strategy taught to most officers. If you find yourself in a fair fight, you retreat until you have an advantage.
In practical terms, to succeed or even to have fun, it's not the quality of the fight that matters, it's the number of victories:

If you're not picking battles that you think you can win, you're making a foolish mistake.

Right on. Woz, there aren't any honor points given by attacking people higher than you. The game was designed by businessmen and artists, so while pretty and a moneymaker, there isn't that spirit of competiton in trying to gain trophies unless you are willing to spend moolah. There are more resources for less trouble down in the lower trophy ranges, therefore people exploit it.
Why even open this thread if you're not going to answer anyones questions!! :@
I see your point Sun about war and how it is won in the world,but this is a game app, not real war out in the real world! If that were the case each army would be given unlimited amounts of money to buy the best of everything to the max, just like the game (gems) therefore each would have the same thing , the best of the best , and the fight would be equal, then the win, loss would boil down to the best man/woman, best technique, best strategies !! The great wars of the world were not won because one army had more money then the other. The winner had the best general, the best invasion strategies, the best battle techniques, well trained men & women...that is what wins a war. You can not compare a game app to real world war! The bottom line here is you have the big guys beating up on the little guys, that is a cowardly fight...if you made this just a little more balanced and had a closer cushion to each trophy amount it would make it more competitive!!! This should be just like a wrestling match , you compete by weight...a 200LB kid wouldn't be wrestling a 100LB kid so how competitive is it for a level 105 to beat a level 47 lol..if that does it for you keep up the great work!!!
I don't care either way, I get to pick my own battles, I chose competitive, high risk battles, that if won gain me a lot of trophies...I have no problem battling any level as I try different things, and the best part is I have fun doing it!
