Let the number speak, why Level 220 is extremely high
There is some argument about CWA's level requirement. People are arguing whether level 220 high or low.
I would like to provide some numbers about the levels, you can jump into summary if you dont like to read the calculation
1. XP requirement for each level : 105 * n * 5 where n is the level requirement
2. Total XP required for Level 220: : (105 * (220 + 2) /2 -5) * (220 - 2 + 1) = 2,551,350
3. Total XP required for Level 130: : (105 * (130 + 2) /2 -5) * (130 - 2 + 1) = 893,325
4. XP for Road (Lv 7, IA) : 355 +470 +470 +760 + 1115 + 1260 = 4430
5. XP from Road in AA : 4430 * 120 = 531,600
6 XP from Road in IA : 4430 * 100 = 443,000
and put it in table
Now it is clear that, With Consideration of "bug" XP from road, you need more than 4 times of XP for Cold War compared with Global.
And the result match my experience: I upgraded into GA after 8 month of play with level 150+, but after almost 2 years of playing I still need almost 300K xp to 220
Now, let's look into the speed of XP gain:
I do a rough scan of XP given by different item, there is a rough summary:
1. Early age upgrade will give more XP in unit time
2. each black Smith slot provided about 200XP per day: items prior IA give around 300 per day, while IA or later give less 200 per day.
3 each worker will provided about 130 XP per day, same as 2,items prior IA give more, while IA or later give less 200 per day.
4 Lib resarch will give around 500 to 600 per day
5 University give no XP
In general, there will be around 3000xp if you got 12 workers doing upgrade, 3500 while you got 16 workers to upgrade building
And now we can see why level 220 is an extremely high threshold:
For player, who put 4 worker in university and 12 doing upgrade, he will need 673 day, or 22 month to reach level 220.
And in the mean time, his workers need to work non-stop
---------------------------------------
Global Age Required level 130, you able to reach it in 5 months
Cold War Required level 220, 22 months required. the more workers you put in university, the harder to reach
And level 220 is not reachable for a player joined after Jan 2016 unless a decent amount of money paid

Global | Cold War | |
Level | 130.00 | 220.00 |
Total XP | 893,325.00 | 2,551,350.00 |
XP from Industrial Road | 443,000.00 | 531,600.00 |
Additional XP required | 450,325.00 | 2,019,750.00 |
