[Frost of the Gloaming]

Blah I'm almost to the point of upgrading my TH to lvl 6 though I think that might have to wait until after this upcoming wall

[Frost of the Gloaming]

war*

[Barmacral]

Why wait? It will still show as the lower level TH until it is complete, so if it is still under construction at the start of battle day you won't go up any more than you would otherwise. In the war my clan just finished on the weekend there was a level 10 TH in the other clan that was located in the middle of all the level 6 or 7 TH's because everything else was so weak.

[Rooks]

I'm going to max out everything at TH6 before going to 7... but I may go straight to 8.  Just to get access to more stuff.  Seems like at 7 it would just take too long to max out so might as well get access to everything.

[Schmopey]

Rooks, one thing you want to be cognizant of is that you incur a loot penalty on any Town Hall that is of a lower level. That can make it slower to accumulate loot.

I regret going straight to 8.  That loot penalty is pretty severe and puts brutal limits on my farming.

It's killing me that it takes 3days to upgrade you elixirs and gold mines, and if I'm doing 1 at a time ( 1e, 1g) if I follow along with my plan it's going to be another 12 days before I upgrade to TH6, which will start the cycle all over again

I myself ignore those... if I'm sitting there with 3 builders and a bunch of resources, I'll upgrade em, gold usually get's batch upgraded since not much else uses elixir... but other than that most of my resources comes from raiding...

[Frost of the Gloaming]

My ultimate goal is to be one of the most feared Kingdoms in all of CoC  

[Rooks]

Speaking of that... you guys ever just look at BOssHOgg's base?  Unreal....

I glance at the top tens occasionally... it's fun to look at. The walls look awesome, these crystal ones I've got look kinda meh....

[Why not?]

Imagine the amount of raiding required to upgrade one wall segment...

[insanity]

lol... Seeing as how my next upgrade is 500K (Crystal to Skull)... yeah those electrified walls are expensive...

 

Holy Jeebus... 4 Million per segment...

[Rooks]

So a billion gold just to go to from level 10 walls to level 11 walls.   Granted level 11 walls take 3 level 6 wallbreakers to get through... so yeah... plus the over a billion you need to get to level 10. 

[themountainsarecalling]

I feel like they should put commas in the resource value so that it's easier for my brain to turn it into a real number

[Why not?]

Which is why the top players only get there by using thousands of gems...

So out of curiousity.... I looked...

 

343,000 gems to max everything out... http://forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/5702-Maxing-out-everything-building-times-rescourses-needed-rushing-costs

 

Edit: That's apparently to TH 9

[Rooks]

For the low low price of $2449.76.

[Frost of the Gloaming]

14,000 gems is $99.99

 

so you are looking at almost $2500

Hiyah Clan o' Nerds,

 

We need everyone to participate in this war, so we can rebound strongly from the disappoint defeat we suffered last week. If everyone makes his or her attacks, we should have this one pretty handily.

 

If you are newer, be sure to ask for advice if you are not sure how to attack a particular opponent. Don't go attacking with an empty clan castle. Do draw out and destroy opponent's clan castle troops.

 

Have fun and don't stress!

 

Schmopey out!

this is good advice. this happened to me a few times getting attacked. how do we draw them out first? just drop some archers or whatever near the CC?

[Frost of the Gloaming]

my method of doing it (which I learned from someone here) is to drop an archer or barbarian near the CC to draw them out and then destroy them with the lightning spell; the only thing is that you have to make sure they are grouped together or the spell will miss a few

Drop a couple troops nearby... then attack something far off to pull them away from the village...

I stagger barbs to draw them out..

1. drop a barb in CC radius to get them out - he dies
2. drop barb further out to draw defenders away from base defenses - he dies
3. repeat until defenders are far enough away to either circle with archers (avoids spash units like wiz and dragon) or lightning spell

Tips to keep in mind:

• if you drop another unit before you string barbs out the defenders will shift to that target, unless engaged by your troops trying to kill them; example - droping a barb on oneside to draw out, then immidiatly dropping troops on other side of base as defenders go to barb = barb dies, defenders move against new force and will not follow any other troops you use to string them out
• don't take to long to draw out and kill, your on the clock - it is a balancing act to do this and not take too much time
• I can not stress enough to draw them out as far as possible from base defenses or your attacking troops will have to take damage from multipule sources
• dropping attackers to kill defenders in one spot is suicide....wiz and dragon will kill 20 archers or mass wizards before lossing 1/2 their hitpoints
• practice makes perfect, again the time issue is always a thorn in the side
• lightning will do nothing againts flying defenders...archers and wiz are your friends here
• droping a clan castle full of units to attack defenders is the same as dumping all those units in one spot...splash damage will eat them up

I am in no way an expert in this game, but I have learned all the above leasons first hand....I love to draw out the defenders and slaughter them, just watch any of my replays...the rest of my raid is never as well done as that part is though.

 

again just my thoughts

With practice, you can lure the CC troops somewhere that will allow you to kill them and damage other key structures with your lightning spells too.

And watch replays of previous attacks on your targets before you attack! Assuming that replays are available.
