You get to a point where you cannot get higher without loads of cash injections, I have gone to the beginning 5 times now and it looks like it will be 6th time around. It is a shame because it is a great game, even better with the latest updates. The highest I have ever reached is base 17. Looking forward to starting from the beginning again, at least you have opponents you can battle on the same level. Now a total Waste. No point of trying to win unless you are from China.
