After level 300, the XP necessary for leveling up increases significantly. For example, progressing from level 290 to level 291 requires 100,000 XP, but progressing from level 300 to 301 requires 400,000 XP (a 4x increase).

This causes progression to feel significantly slower after level 300 compared to levels 1-299. As a result of this slowed progression, some players above level 300 have felt frustrated by the pace of the game and the progress that they’re able to make with each passing Fortification event.

How We’re Breaking it Down

We’re going to take a couple of steps to address these issues:

• Smooth out the progression curve for levels 300+ (for example, the XP necessary to progress from level 300 to 301 will reduce from 400,000 XP to 100,000 XP)

• Incubator, Breeding Castle, Storage Hut, and Builder Hut requirements above level 300 will have reduced requirements in terms of total player XP required (although the numerical level required will go up - more on this below!)

• The 100% glory cap will have reduced requirements in terms of total player XP required (although the numerical level required will also go up - more on this below!)

Please note that players who are not level 300 or higher will not experience any change to their account or level. However, players above level 300 will now be at higher levels as expected, so don’t fret if you see a sudden uptick in displayed level on bases. This does not mean the same bases as before will become stronger, they will just be at a higher level than before.

So what happens to all the hard work you’ve put into leveling your base if you’re past level 300? Don’t worry, all that XP earned will carry over into the new leveling system. After the change is rolled out, your level will automatically increase to what it should be as if you’ve leveled up in the new system. How much it will increase is determined by a variety of factors, so more on that below.

Here’s a couple of different scenarios to illustrate what will happen to players at various levels:

• Level 305 Player: You currently have approximately 18.5 million XP at level 305. After the change, your cumulative XP will remain the same at 18.5 million and your player level will increase to approximately level 319 (may vary slightly from player to player).

• Level 380 Player: You currently have approximately 48 million XP at level 380. After the change, your cumulative XP will remain the same at 48 million and your player level will increase (a whopping 63 levels!) to approximately level 443 (may vary slightly from player to player).

• Level 589 Player: You currently have approximately 205 million XP at level 589. After the change, your cumulative XP will remain the same at 205 million and your player level will increase to approximately level 600 (may vary slightly from player to player).

Progression Curve

As mentioned earlier, we’ll be smoothing out the player level progression curve starting at level 300. The new curve can be seen below in red:
