Rooks Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'm doing this currently, as I'm trying to farm resources at low levels. Keeping the exposed TH lets me stay at a lower league so I'm not up against some guys that'll destroy me. That's true at any level. Although I'm finding if I have over a million of any resource, even with the exposed TH, my base gets fully ransacked. Nature of the game I suppose. Quote Link to comment
Frost of the Gloaming Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yep same here, I tried to leave the TH out in the open only to have my town decimated, so I put it behind a fence to make it a little bit tougher for them to destroy and just take what I can when I attack Wow 6 days for TH7, better start saving for it now. With the way I'm doing things I might be at a maxed out TH lvl 8 by the end of Summer. Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........

Rooks Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I've actually run across a few bases where the TH seems to be out in the open but it's surrounded by Teslas and Bombs. I really hate that as I drop my 4 archers thinking I'm getting an easy star, but them I'm forced to waste a lot of my army just taking out the TH. Think I'm going to deploy a base similar to that soon. Quote Link to comment

Raev Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 So, this morning I 3 starred my recommended target (which was their #9 I think). So, I decided to try and punch above my level. I knew I could at least 1-star their #3 person, so I gave it a try. Yep, 1 star. 4 out of 6 for the war, I'll take it. I'll also take the huge win bonus from getting a star on their #3.

Rooks Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 3 starred my first target who was 5 lower then my recommend. Next I'm going for a few higher. I just wish my armies would build faster.

Save the 1 starring for the very end to make sure we have a huge lead and don't need that attack.

Watching your replay, I think I can get 50% on 3.... I was intending to 3 star #3, but he's already got 1, so I'll probably take out #4. I would personally prefer in the future that people wait until the last 5-6 hours or so to make sure we have a huge lead before pot shotting the higher people on the other team for loot. I think we're starting to do it a bit early. There are tons of mid level bases that haven't even been touched yet. Remember, if we don't win the war, we don't get that loot.

I usually wait till after lunch to make my attacks, I haven't done either one yet. If it's close then I go for the 3 stars, but I'm usually attacking down around 30 or even 40 in that situation.

Raev Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I hate having to spend days sitting at upper bronze/lower silver hiding. I'm 3 days from a freed up builder and a couple million gold sitting there. That's a lot of incoming attacks I'd be getting if I wasn't slumming.

TheCrimsonFist Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I'm about to be in the same spot, Raev. I'm trying to max out everything before I move to the next TH, but I'm almost out of stuff to spend elixer on, and have a ton of walls left to build up.

Frost of the Gloaming Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 3 days until my TH levels up and I can begin the process all over again; I tried upgrading all of my fences before my TH but when I realized that it would take almost a month of farming and raiding before I would be able to convert all my fences to max level I said screw it and upgraded the TH Looks like it'll take a little longer with TH 7 but at least I'll have Dragons and a Barbarian King War question, The base we have been using for war is saved right, so I should be able to rearrange my everyday base to protect elixir without having to re-do the entire war base on Tuesday right?

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yeah, once you set the war base up, it'll save as it's own layout. I'm making the push for masters league. I stalled hard the last few days at around 2000. Hoping to make it to 2100 today. I'm going with the strategy of keeping resources low so I'm not worth attacking. I keep gold low by keping a builder free and upgrading a wall every time I hit 550k. Keeping elixer in the 500-700 range by making sure I attack bases that give enough elixer and just go with more expensive armies if it gets higher. I was running into problems with it getting low, but it's getting easier to avoid that the higher I get in leagues. I get 21k elixer bonus for wins right now. Keeping DE down to 5000 and below as well by just doing mass pig attacks if it gets high and including 4 pigs in my base army. One thing I am noticing is there are a lot more targets with 1200+ DE. Once I get up to 2400 or so, I might use the 50-60 extra gems I have to speed up pig building and spells and mass pig attack bases that will pay back all that DE. Just go for 3 hours straight or so of raiding to push the 2600.

Frost of the Gloaming Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Can I tell you how much it stinks when you know you will be needing DE and you run into a base that has a ton of it and you can't collect it yet Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........

I'll run into a base with 1100 DE, and have my farming army with me. Knowing full well that my normal army would be able to get to it easy...

Rooks Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I'm finding that just having 3 L4 bolts is a plenty good way to collect DE at least up at the trophy count I'm at (1800-1900). So many bases with 500+.... everyone once in awhile you find some with 4k+... bolt the be-jesus out of it and you net around 1k. Granted I'm getting revenge hit big time, but they are TH10 so they only get around 100 of it back. 1k every hour and 30 minutes ain't too bad in my book. Quote Link to comment

Sad day for me.I pulled a 3 star on my first attack against my recommended. I'm going to now go after the highest position that I can guarantee a 2 star minimum on.Why not get another 3-star? Loot is fun and all, but winning the war gets you way more loot. This one is going to be close. Quote Link to comment
