I think I can get 2 stars on Freddy or 123kid, maybe 3 on kid if I get lucky, etc.

Our low guys need to scout their low guys, and decide who can take who, if anyone, etc.

Everyone should hit the easiest target they can w/o stealing a target a lower guy might need.

:D

I hear ya.. Hard to save up for stuff

Its funny, I started the game w/o a clue "how it was done"...so I just started upgrading weapons and halls and so forth, put up a 10 day shield....and let the elixer and gold grow as fast as it could to support the growth.

Then, you guys said "Um, you didn't build any WALLS! And, holy crap, walls are freakishly expensive and you have to leave a builder freed up to boot.

Well, I blew my life savings on walls, and, now have to wait for enough elixer to train a few more troops then train, wait, etc. The shield wore off, and the raids started, and they have jump spells that leap over the walls, and stuff that flies over the walls, and archers that line up just out of range and plink away gold from the mines and so forth...so I wake up the next day thinking my coffers would be a bit fuller, and I'm broke again.

The REVENGE attacks though are cool, because I can get back more than they took most of the time.

The problem is I then blow most of it re-training troops.

:tunes:

Someone tried at join, but forgot to post here...so I didn't know who it was, and rejected the application to join the clan.

If it was YOU, try again.

I feel bad. I only visit the forum now for Clash of Clans. Everything else Xterra wise I get from Xterra Off Road on FB and VAXC on FB. Which btw we need to get VAXC more active @obi_krash cause the FB groups has gotten a bit quiet. I wonder if I can't sponsor something. Certainly can't lead a trip...I've never gotten out of the house to actually go off roading :(

It's been pretty active considering everyone who usually posts has been getting ready for WENT.
When I get back things will be rolling again.

LOL

I know, what's up wit dat?

:dead:

Let's hope our remaining attacks are 3 star winners, and their's are zero star abortions.


I have 1 left, I got 3 on the 1st one, but the 2nd is a higher ranked guy (Both recommended hits...), so who knows if I'll get 1-3, but, hopefully 3.

I'm gonna unleash 11 dragons plus the castle on his ass....as soon as I HAVE 11 dragons, still making elixir for them.....an all day process

I think part of it was we had Xterror at Went and while Mudchet got 2 stars on attack, and kept THEM from getting stars by defending like a madman...I have a feeling it just took too long to regenerate enough elixir to re-troop in time for a 2nd attack.

I was only able to get enough for a second attack by blowing gems on boost for the pumps...and even then only barely. After that, it was just a question of match-ups at the bottom...as they were kind of tough down there. It made it hard for us to use our newer guys on their slightly less newer guys.

It was a tough match-up.

Walls....sigh.

Unbelievably expensive mofos.

We can only HAVE 250 blocks...that's it no matter how large a village you make.

The first blocks are 200 gold, each, times 250 = 50,000 g

To upgrade the walls, its cost more and more g. I forgot to keep track, but I have level 6 and level 7 walls, mixed as I change the 6's to 7's...and it costs 200,000 g per block to do it.

So to make 250 L6 blocks into 250 L7 blocks it costs 50,000,000 g :O

To make the L7's into L8's, its another 500,000 per block...times 250 = 125,000,000 g MORE.

So, if I JUST go to L8, that's 50 million plus 125 million g = 175 MILLION g.

OK, so how LONG TO MAKE 175 MILLION g?

I have 6 gold mines working 24/7 at 3,000 g per hour, so a production rate for all 6 of 18,000 per hour.

175,000,000 divided by 18,000 = 9,777 hours to make that much gold.

9,777 divided by 24 hours in a day, and that's 405 DAYS to make that much g.

I've been spending gems on boosting production, so theoretically, I could chop that to ~ 203 days.

THAT'S JUST FOR 250 blocks of WALL!!!!! To just Level 8....and it goes to L12. :O

That leaves ZERO for upgrading weapons or defenses, etc.

No WONDER I was able to build-up other stuff by skipping walls....so much $!


And, now I see there's stuff that flies OVER the walls, spells that allow troops to jump OVER the walls, hog riders that leap OVER the walls, and so forth....and I'm seriously considering if walls are the panacea to defense?

Sheesh.

I just started not long ago and I've been thinking the same thing. I've built up to level 4 but now I'm concentrating on other counter defenses. I also put less important things along the entire outside of the wall so those will have to be destroyed first, then wall, then counter defenses. We'll see how it works.

That's what I've been doing....a line of gold mines or elixir pumps, barracks or whatever along the walls.

Most attacking troops are fairly reliable in their stupidity...archers or whomever will resolutely keep firing at a barracks while under fire from a tower or something they should be shooting at instead...so they die shooting a barrack while ignoring the death threat they could have taken out instead. So the more distractions, the longer your defenses have to take them out. Giants for example, goblins, etc...tend to gravitate towards defenses or loot respectively, and may ignore a barrack on the way to break a wall to reach a cannon or gold storage, etc....but most of the them at least are distracted about 100% of the time.

I updated my base and so far it sucks. I've gotten killed every way since Sunday. :(

I haven't had time to prepare for whatever war we just started and I wont be on much. I'm doing a lot of job interviews this week so the phone stays in the car.
