you guys are lucky you can get on at work. I have a poor mobile signal so mobile internet is a no go abd they have blocked teh super cell servers on the Wi-Fi so i cant even use that.

Ah the joys of near unlimited 4G.

Oh dont get me wrong i have 4G, its where im currently based (on site construction office) that the signal is rubbish to downright pish lol, and i cant seem to convince IT to open servers just for me lol

So I have a question for you knowledgeable folks. During the last war I was crushed by an attack of 11 lvl 2 dragons. It was a TH lvl8 attacking me as a th lvl 7. All of my defenses are maxed out. 2 LVL 3 teslas, 4 lvl 8 archer towers, 2 lvl, 5 air defenses, 2 lvl 4 wizard towers. Plus I have all my air bombs maxed out as well. After the attack was over he still had 7 dragons left. I was only able to take out 4. There has to be a layout that can defend against such an attack right? Even if it's just slowing the dragons down enough that they time out. Does anyone have any suggestions. I'm likely going to still be TH lvl 7 for another few weeks so would like to be prepared for the next war.

No. A TH7 cannot defend against 11 level 1 dragons, much less 11 level 2 dragons.

Most TH8s are still winnable with 11 level 2 dragons.

That's just plain depressing. On a brighter note I did get a 3 star against a lvl 8 th in that same war but his air defenses were lvl 3. I only used 7 lvl 2 dragons and 16 lvl 4 balloons to take out said air defenses. I'm loathe to make a war attack with 11 dragons. It's just too damn expensive. Even if you do win the war you are going to be in a huge elixir deficit. As it were I would have had a slight elixir deficit on my attacks if we had won which we didn't. Got crushed 50-39 and we used more attacks.

I do double full dragon attacks every war. It's only 600k (plus 60 from clanmates).

Can get that in 3-4 raids before the war (or during)

Might have to start doing that against some of the higher th lvl 8s we go up against. We have had monumental fails by our higher THs in our clans. I think combined for our top 5 players in our last war, only net us 10 stars, I think. Something like only 2 stars per player. Horrible. If I get fewer than 4 stars in a war I think I've let my team down. And usually that is because I reach higher than I really should. But if what you are saying about 11 lvl 2 dragon assaults on th LVL 8s is true I just might have to do that next war.

Best tip against dragon attack is spread your base out, separate air defenses with th and cc in between and storages on outside do that they hit a storage first before air defense. Teslas I'm corners of base can be great because they are hidden and dragons have to move across a massive area. They are slow. Lastly all air bombs to surround th so they hit them all at once. You can kill them great that way.

I just got 2 starred by full dragon attack level 4 and he had 5 spells. That's great defense

I'm here to rant more than anything. So I usually don't bother with revenge as the person that attacks me mostly doesn't have enough resources to make the revenge attack worthwhile. But recently I've taken a look at a few worthy targets for revenge and have planned nice war level troops assaults on them that would not only do significant damage but also turn a nice profit on the side. You know what the problem was.... I wasn't able to attack them. Either they have purchased a shield or they were "online" at the time. What is the point of a revenge feature if you can never get revenge? Either get rid of the feature or give rule exceptions for revenge attacks so you can, you know, get revenge. It's maddeningly frustrating when every time you want to hit someone and you are blocked.

I was trying to revenge on a guy for over 4 hours yesterday, I was checking every 10 minutes or so, and he was always 'online'. He was clearly cheesing it and never going offline so he couldn't be attacked.

Just discovered they've nerfed the walls so that I can't upgrade them with Elixir any longer. This is pretty annoying since I don't really care about raiding. I just want to have my little neutral village with impressive walls. I would rather put gold into upgrading buildings than the billion gold you'd need to reach the point where you can use Elixir on the walls.

[twelve]

another way around it to prevent the always online rule is that unless you have a shield is that once a player has selected revenge on someone give them anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour notice that they are going to be attacked and then you are able to revenge attack them at anytime in the next 24 hours regardless of if you are online or have a shield. Hell even if you have a shield in place give you a certain amount of time notice that you are being selected for a revenge attack and to prepare accordingly. It won't be like you haven't been given notice. It's revenge you shouldn't be able to avoid paying the piper for your transgressions.

That happens to me all the time. Or when they finally go off line they have a shield...

It is very possible he was actually playing for four hours straight, especially with the barracks boosts going. Lord knows I have been kicked off at the 6 hour mark plenty of times. You can't count on being able to sneak in a revenge, that's why they are so great when they happen.

It sucks for lower guys that they can't use elixir on walls anymore, but honestly you don't need it for lower walls.

Im in the process of saving to upgrade to TH8 with 14 walls left to level to 7 and at 200,000 gold a pop the use of elixir would have been great (maxed out a week ago) I hope that they update and allow the use of both again.

I did manage to get a good revenge that i waited for over 12 hours for. I got hit for 25k gold 136k elixir and 832 DE. I hit him hard with basic troops (no BK or spells) and got back 135k gold 246k Elixir and 1201 DE. So Revenges are more than worth the wait. I was most happy with teh DE as has allolwed me to upgrade BK to 4 now. Aiming for lvl 5 before i get TH 8

[twelve]

I'm TH lvl 7 and got my barb king to lvl 5 before I even started to upgrade my town hall. I've got about 30ish walls to max out and one barracks left to go to lvl 9 and all of my gold mines and elixir generators to go to 11 left. I'm waiting for my walls and barracks to be done then I'm going to move up a th level. I must say having a barb king makes raiding much easier as a th 7.

I hit revenge and if it works ie no shield or online message then I'll attack if it's worth it. Ie I might wait weeks before attacking a base but one thing I always do is build my attack before opting to find a revenge

I'm at TH7, only got my BK over the holidays. My DE holder thingie is currently upgrading to lvl 2 so that I'll be able to work on upgrading my BK, and I've got 2 more barracks to max out, and a little over half my walls, then I'll have everything at max level, and will get the TH upgrade going.

Right now I'm thinking once I get half of my walls done, I'll save up to start the TH upgrade, then upgrade the rest of my walls while the TH is upgrading. Everything else is elixir, so it'll come with time!

[Tiste Simeon]

I seem to bringing in gold quite quickly at. I've done a whole bunch of defence upgrades. I finally feel like I am coming vaguely near where I should be. Heck if I'd done it properly I'd be thinking about getting a TH to level 9 upgrade about now...

[Tattersail_]

With this new work schedule getting target lootis tough.

I have a question about the league you're assigned.

When you win or lose trophies, your over all score rises or falls. Does a very low amount of trophies or a low position in the league roster mean you will be fighting lower level players?

I am asking because I see people attacking my village with 1 warrior only. Sort of like they were testing my defenses or something. But this also loses them 20 something trophies. I am wondering if this is done to lower their trophy amount?

Like for example if I only had a 100 trophies total would I only be attacked by weak villages?
