Yeah I've decided to wait on upgrading my TH to lvl 6 until I start maxing out everything I can. I've held off upgrading my gold mines and elixir generators as raiding is much more profitable but they are the cheapest things I have left to upgrade so I thought eh what the heck.


They're the most frustrating things to upgrade, cause they're offline while they're upgrading, and as you get in the higher levels they take like 3 days at a time!

Tiste the way to recover from a rushed th is to focus first on your offense, so you can at least attack like a full force th9. Get your troops up, get your spells up, this will allow you to overcome the attacking penalties that come with higher ths.

Once you get your offense where it should be, you will be able to effectively raise the loot to upgrade the rest of your stuff.

In case you guys didn't see it, after the next update you will be able to use elixer to upgrade walls, at least after a certain level. Walls are important, right now everyone in higher levels are using gowipe or gowiwi so they matter. Black is not good enough once you get past th8.

Also, think of the long haul. Collectors are important to upgrade. I've been playing this game for over a year and a half. That little bit of extra loot I get from upgraded mines and pumps has really added up over the months. Get those done as soon as possible, the sooner they are upgraded the more loot you get from them as time goes by.

Especially de drills. DE is the most important resource in the game. Get it flowing.

Talking greek to me in regards to gowipe or gowiwi. Do the wallbreakers level up enough to still be able to breach outerwalls? I have level 2 wallbreakers and I need three to breach a level 4 wall, the gold coloured one. I've learned I needed to throw some distractions prior to launching the wallbreakers. Nothing more frustrating than them getting killed before they can do their damage.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

So Dolmen how often do we go to war? ANd I updated my village at lunch, take another look at it and let me know what you think?


We go to war when some one calls for it, usually once a week. I think we got a bit shell shocked from losing our top tiers so rapidly these last few days. Think out team leader wants to give us time to build ourselves up, pull in more heavy hitters etc.

Im gonna see if the groups up for it!

Not 100% sure you will get involved though as only the 10 most senior get selected. Honestly you should get a shot as some clan members haven't gotten involved in the last 3 wars.

Wallbreakers keep getting better as you go, which is why your walls need to keep up. Gowipe and gowiwi are just acronyms describing the troops you are using. Gowipe is GOlems, WIzards, and PEkkas, gowiwi is GOlems, WIzards, and WItches. Other acronyms you might see are barch (barbs and archers) bam (barbs archers and minions) holowiwi (hogs loons wizard witch) balloonion ( loons and minions) and there are a couple other well know ones.

It is very important to drop a few other troops to draw fire to allow your bombs to get to the wall. Golems are wonderful, giants work well too.

It took a bit longer than usual but once the update was done I had no trouble.

Made it to silver II ranking. I think I may have figured out a halfway decent raiding strategy. I maxed out my gold storage last night so had to wait for my builders to free up so I could blow it all on wall upgrades. I'm running into the it takes a day or longer for upgrades issue where I can't spend my hard earned loot fast enough.

Drill. I am primarly going after raiding DE. Because I will get the other two resources as well. But my drive is Dark.
How many fucking people do I have to hammer in order to get that across.

That will go away sooner then you will like. Don't let your ranking get too high. If you want to make a drive for 1250 and get the gems then that is smart but then go right back down. Find an ranking that allows you to raid and get the resources that you need and stay there until everything in your village is maxed out. Then upgrade your TH and repeat.

Yeah, I went up to 1250 for the gems, but then, without even really trying, flopped back down to about 900. Now that everything's upgraded and I'm working on TH7, I've gone back up to about 1050-1100 and have been pretty steadily in that zone.

Well as I'm hovering at around 50-60 gems the additional 450 I get for getting 1250 ranking doesn't interest me. Now if I had me 550 gems then it would as then I could get that fourth builder. I know you all have said to do the acheivements but a lot of those acheivements require that I level up my th so I can build the required buildings that will gain me gems. And the raiding the shit ton of gold and elixir will happen in time but that only will net 40 gems. I figure in about a month I'll have the gems to get my fourth so I'm just dealing with it right now. And yes my gold disappeared in no time at all and I only have about half of my walls upgraded to level 5. Got raided by someone sending in 23 giants. They ultimately took out all my defenses but thankfully it took so long they timed out before they wiped me out. But they stupid thing on their part is that it cost them more than I had available to steal. Other than getting the trophies I don't see the point.

Currently upgrading: DE Drill; Wizard tower - level 5; archers tower - level 5. Just finished, research centre, 2x canons and another archers tower. It's been a good week! May start moving my village around to start dropping levels.

That happens a lot at the lower levels. People don't understand what they are doing so they just send what every on raids.

Stolen shamelessly from Tatts (though my TH is higher so I have a few more bits to fit in plus more walls to put them in!) Here is my current village. Looking forward to dropping a few leagues and farming like a beast!

Spoiler


EDIT: I can't edit warbase until we get into a war, right?
