Clash of Clans Town Hall 11 Update

Well the new update is out and there are plenty of resources online for what all came with the update.

Right now for me, it is very hard to earn loot.  Mainly if you are not attacking all the time.  I lose more in a day than I gain so upgrading to Town Hall 11 is going to be a lot farther out than I thought it would be.  

Yes, I see big loot on on searches but if I can't take out half the base and get the Town Hall then I'm just losing out.  Which seems to happen.  I don't want to have to make a big army every time just to attack any base I run across with high loot.

I'm definitely not gaining anything on exilir.  Which stinks because I need to gain in order to upgrade my walls.  I haven't went up in the slightest on exilir in the game since the update came out.  If I spend what exilir I have on walls then I won't have any to make troops.  I am earning a little in gold but just barely.  Normally I would have been able to upgrade my next building by now.

I wish they would have let Town Hall 10 get the Grand Warden.  It would really have helped us Town Hall10's be able to fight better.

So currently on my base I have to upgrade all my Air Defenses, Cannons, and Archer Towers.  That's 7.5 million a piece.  It just gets ridiculous at this level.  Once those are done I can finally go to TH11.

I also don't understand why they won't let us upgrade the gold and exilir storages at Town Hall 10.  It would help us get ready for Town Hall 11 as the Eagle Artiliary requires you to max them out to hold the new 10 million in gold.

Here's a picture of my current base design.

Clash of Clans Update

It has been a bit since I've posted on Clash of Clans.  I'm still chugging away at it.

The new update threw me off because the day it came out I literally finished all my walls to black.  As of today I finally have all my walls black again.  I currently have 2 more exilir upgrades (Lightning spell and Goblins) and then I can spend all my explore on going to the black LEGO looking walls.  Can't wait to get to that point.  I've almost got enough to start that Lightning spell.

We finally dropped the requirements down and are letting smaller Town Halls in.  It really does help when it comes the the clan wars.  We were doing 10v10 before and we were always under matched with the other clan having 3-4 more Town Hall 10s compared to us.  It makes it really hard to win.  Now we are doing 15v15 with the lower Town Halls and we are getting matched up way more evenly.

We've even had some old members come back that have been gone awhile so it's nice to have them back.  Some of our newer members are really progressing good as well.

Here's a picture of my current base design.  It's a good base for war, just move the Town Hall to the middle.  I think you can see to move the gold storage and dark exilir around to get it in.

Clash of Clans Clan Wars

Clan Wars has been out for a few weeks now and we just lost for our 3rd loss.  We have been on a big winning streak though as we are currently 15-3 right now.  Earning the extra loot is huge and when you're winning and pulling in that extra loot for upgrading, losing really hurts.

Following certain rules when attacking make a really big difference in a war.

Defense

1. Make sure your Town Hall is protected in the middle of your base with Clan Castle right beside it.
2. Make sure the Clan Castle is full of your strongest troops: Dragons, Wizards, Witches, or Archers (Archers if your Clan Castle is extremely hard to get too).
3. Try to make your Clan Castle troops hard to pull out so that you

Attacking

1. You have to 3 star all the lower bases.  No excuse not getting those and not getting those will make you lose a war very easily.
2. Attract Barb King, Archer Queen, and flush ALL Clan Castle troops out of the castle.  Once they are out, pull to a corner and drop troops to kill them all.
3. During war if it noticed the the clan has made the Clan Castle extremely hard to get troops out and they are filled with archers.  Make sure to bring 1 lightening spell with you.  Pull Barb King and Archer Queen to kill.  Once you have killed them, start your attack.  Only deploy half your troops.  Once all the archers have come out the clan castle and are closely grouped together, drop the lightening spell to kill them all or majority.  Then drop the rest of your troops to finish off the attack.

Those are some helpful tips for any clan dedicated and wanting to win at clan wars.  Make sure your members are active as if they are not active, then you will be missing attacks and that's less chance you will have to 3 star every base.

Clash of Clans Clan Wars

Well how about that.  After all this time, the Clash of Clans game is actually going to have Clan Wars.  You would think it being in the title already it would be a part of the game but it never has been.  I'm happy, along with everyone else, that this is finally coming.

I've been watching some videos and it's looking pretty good.  The part I think will be the hardest is actually making sure everyone in the clan attacks the appropriate level.  It has a recommended base to attack but if you can beat a higher one, you should but we have to hit all the bases to win the most stars to earn all the loot we get.

One thing that hasn't been said yet is if donating troops to the clan side will boost your donations for the week.  I hope it does but nobody has given that answer that I've seen.

So today I've got to redesign my village to protect my town hall to try and stop the other clans from getting 3 stars on my base.  I'll post my updated village once I got it done and know it's working.

We've got some new members in our clan so I've updated the clan listing to show who the new people are and removing some who left.

Also promoted QD to Co-Leader.  He'll be able to help me and Ben out in the clan for sure.

Clash of Clans - Base Update

I spent 1.5 hours yesterday redesigning my base thanks to the new loot system they put in place.  I'm getting attacked way more now since everything I have cost so much and I have to save majorly to get enough to upgrade.  So I needed to be able to defend my base better so I won't lose so much loot.  I had a pocket before with it all in the middle but that design doesn't work once they get in the middle as they get it all.

I think this is one of the better bases I've made and I've won 3 defenses in a row.  I'm really waiting for a hog attack on my base so I can see how it works against them.  A big attack with giants doesn't work at all so far.

I'm up for any opinions anyone might have to make it better.

Clash of Clans - New Clan Got Destroyed

Why does this always seem to happen.  I joined up with another guy and he decided to leave and make another clan again.  So people started leaving to follow him.  Then one of his old clan mates, went on a kicking a spree before leaving being an absolute jerk and then left his self.  People wonder why nobody wants to give out elder in this game.  It's reasons like those right there that they aren't given up.

Sucks all this happened while I was gone on vacation.

Needless to say, I'm not staying in the name the guy made up and I had to leave my old clan name for.  So I will be recreating my old clan name and moving everyone back to it.  At least a bunch of people who got kicked came back.  I was happy to see that.  Hopefully when the move happens in the next day or so, they will all follow.  Just giving everyone time to rejoin before I create the original name I had again. 

So back to TheWrectchedOnes.

Clash of Clans Update for Clan

Well, over the weekend, I ran into a guy in the global wanting to merge clans.  After talking, we had the same goals and with his group, it should give us a solid foundation for making a good clan, plus keeping people in the clan that won't leave.  He had 2 things that he wanted, a new clan name and for me and him to make all decisions like elder and such. 

I didn't really want to lose my name I created because I really liked it and nobody else had that name yet in CoC.  However, looking out for my group, I chose the higher rode.  He came up with the name e-LEMON-ators.  I liked the name as I couldn't think of anything as it was late and I was ready to go to bed from all the talking to get the merge going.

I still remained leader and it took me about 2 days to get everyone moved over.  We lost a few as they haven't been online from the looks of it so they haven't seen the message for joining the new clan.  It's going to be hard for them to join in now because as of today I've taken off Anyone Can Join and set it to Invite only since we have maxed out at 50 members already.  The merger is definitely paying off right off the bat, so that's a good thing to see. 

As the weeks go by, will see who is being active or not.  That will decide if they stay or go.  Since we just merged will give them time but I'll be keeping track of how everyone is doing on donating so I can confirm if they really helping out or not.

So here's to another new beginning.

e-LEMON-ators

Clash of Clans - TheWretchedOnes

Say hello to my Clan for Clash of Clans.  It's called TheWretchedOnes.

The clan I was previously in, the leader just up and disappeared.  Then someone went on a kicking spree and nobody was recruiting new members.  Things were going bad and a bunch kept saying I should make a clan.  At one point, a group did break off and create a new one.  I decided not to go and create my own since so many people had asked me.  Had 12 people come with me.  So that's a good start for elders to recruit and pull new people in.  We made it up past the 20 mark after one day.  Looking for other players with at least 1000 in trophies to join.

So hears to a new start.

Clash of Clans Town Hall 9

Well I've been saving for just over a week, fighting online to gain resources.  I hit up single player last night to gain on some resources and finally got up to 4 million in gold.  So I've officially started my upgrade to Town Hall 9 in Clash of Clans.  Now I have to wait 10 days.  TEN!  The wait time in this game is the worse.  It's either that or pay for gems to finish it now which I'm not going to do.

I guess the more interesting part is going to be who shows up in my searches.  I thought the game went off trophies for who was in your range to attack in the game.  One of the guys in my clan says I'll be compared with more Town Hall 9's once I have it.  I find that hard to believe as I've dropped in trophies and I see Town Hall 9's all the time.  I'm sure I'll be able to still attack other levels.  If he is right, then I will have to strategize my attack more and can't just drop everything down to rush in and steal resources.  I might not never move up if I can't gain resources.  It will make the game more funr and hard if that is true.  It'll push me to get all my troops maxed out which will be a big requirement of exilir that I can never seem to gain on.  I'm going to have to change up my troop building and change how I take out towns from this point forward to gain more and use as little troops as possible.

I did get up to 1 mil in exilir last night but I spent it on upgrading my lightning spell to level 4.  I can make 3 but dropping 3 on the xbow didn't kill it.  I'm hoping with it being upgraded, I'll be able to kill it and then I can attack towns with the xbow since it won't pose a threat since it'll be gone.  Hopefully I'll be able to loot a little bit more if that's the case since all the towns I run across with high exilir have the xbow.  At least, that's my strategy if this upgrade works.  That's 3 days away to find out.  If it doesn't, I'll save exilir until I get 1.6 mil and upgrade my spell factory so I can hold 4 spells in which I know I'll be able to take it out then.

Clash of Clans on Clans Plus My New Base Design

Well, this happened 2 weekends ago now but it's something worth bringing up.  Especially if you are just randomly joining a clan in Clash of Clans.

I initially joined a clan and was promoted to elder.  Well, someone got in, got elder and kicked everyone out then left.  You would figure after a 2nd time, a 3rd wouldn't happen.  Well it did so a few of us joined up, left and started our own clan.  Been in that clan ever since and was helping to keep it running.  Well about 2 weeks before I was kicked out, the clan leader started changing how they ran things, kicked people out who we're active and wasn't sticking to any word they said.  I wasn't the only one noticing this so I decided to uphold one thing they said they were going to do and didn't.  Anyone under 1200 trophies by Jan 1st was gone.  Leader wanted to move up on leader board so everyone needed to move up in trophies.

I'll will add a blurb in here that you hit slumps in this game where passing a certain level in trophies and upgrading something like your town hall becomes very hard to do.  So you will set at that spot for a good while until you finally break through that barrier.  Getting town hall 6 will be your first.

So back to me kicking people out under 1200 trophies.  I kicked 5 out that I never saw on and were on the bottom of our list.  Granted there were 10 more under 1200 but I didn't touch them as I knew they were all trying.  So I stepped away for about 30 minutes and upon getting back into game, the clan leader had kicked me out.  Didn't talk, didn't understand or want to listen, just, POOF, I was gone.  I really hope some members left because of that but I have no way of knowing.  I'll miss the people I talked to on a constant basis as it was always fun.

I jumped into a clan temporarily to help out until I found a better one.  Which, when I joined, I let the guy know that up front.  Finally found one and they are family oriented, higher level and are great people.  They are all mostly US based so on around the times that I would be on.  So ill be sticking around in this one for awhile.  They are very helpful.

So when you join a clan, make sure it's one where everyone donates so you can always fill your clan castle up.  Don't ask for elder because if you are always around, eventually you will get it if you really want it.  It's not that important to have though.  The clan mates are way more important.



I'm currently on town hall 8 in the game.  Here is a picture of what my setup was before I tried out this new design a new clan mate has.

This new design I'm using is to help keep the wall breakers away but I have learned that someone with level 5 or 4 troops can get through and still take a lot of resources from me.  I really need level 7 walls to really slow them down with this setup.  the pink walls in the picture cost 75,000 but to upgrade the pink wall, which is level 6 to 7, they cost 200,000 a piece.  That is no light feat to accomplish.  In this picture below I'm going to try moving my town hall outside my wall so if someone comes in, takes it out for the 1 star and leaves with victory, I'll get a 12 hour shield and not lose any resources.  I'm crossing my fingers on that happening some.  Normally it would be in the middle, the middle bottom two storages would back out to where the two builder huts are and the builder huts would move back to beside town hall.  So will see how things work out.

Clash of Clans

Well I'm still hooked on Clash of Clans on my iPad.  I finally got my level 6 town hall and have upgraded so you can see my town.

For me to get enough money it took a little work.  I maxed out all my mines in the game to earn as much as I could.  Then when I was high in money, I came home and I had won a defensive fight.  By doing that I had over 400k saved up.  I spent the rest of the afternoon keeping my iPad active so I couldn't get attacked.  During that time I was attacking as fast as I could going after towns with high money in them.  I earned over 300k in gold plus what my mines earned during that time to make it to 750k.  I was so happy to have finally got it.  I can finally upgrade all my stuff again even if it does require more money to upgrade.

Realizing that I need to get town hall 7 already so I can upgrade the barbarians, archers, and goblins in the game.  With town hall 6, I was only able to get giants and wall breakers upgraded.  It's 1.2 million to get town hall 7 and I can't even hold that much.  I'll have to upgrade my storage units to hold that.  I will uprade my defenses first so that I can hopefully defend and win some battles to keep my money easier.

Next on the list to get upgraded is my wizard tower.  Between the wizard and mortar towers, they help win more than anything.  It costs a lot to get them up to the next level but I'm going to focus on the cheaper things first as it will be easier to get to that amount of money first.
