Matching

When choosing a village to raid, you will be matched with people who have about the same number of trophies as you. (NOTE: the exact number or mechanics of this matching are unknown. However, you may currently attack/be attacked by players with a trophy difference as much as ~230 lower or higher than your own as of April 2013)

You can only attack people with a similar amount of trophies, this prevents lower leveled people from being constantly destroyed and makes the game more interesting. However, some people like to drop their trophy levels to be able to farm villages. This is one of the many strategies people use in multiplayer battles. There is much debate on whether this is fair or not.

The following table describes this bonus and reduction:
