I am sick of being plundered by level 45 - 50's because my TH holds me back from any real upgrades.
At lvl 7 I receive extra cannons archer towers etc, etc, but all the advice is saying max out before upgrading TH.
And trying to keep enough stock to upgrade the TH with all these attacks is almost impossible!
Advice please but only the constructive sort.
I normally agree that it is good advice to max out all at a Town Hall level before going to the next. However, TH6 is the only special case. It really is rubbish, as you say. I'd recommend pushing to get to TH7, but then planning on spending a very long time there maxing it out before going to TH8. A maxed TH7 can do very well defending against all but the most ambitious TH8 and TH9 players with maxed out troops.
you could try upgrading to TH level 7.
Thanks. Lvl 7 it is then
The advice to upgrade all buildings before upgrading town hall is good advice. If you are finding it hard to defend at TH6, just think how hard it would be to be TH7 with TH6 defenses. You would be easy pickings for any TH8 in your trophy range. Right now, they probably pass you by due to the loot penalty for attacking 2 TH levels down.
My suggestion would be to take a serious look at your base design to ensure that you are making good use of the defenses that you have. Another thing that has helped me is putting my Town Hall in a corner. If you get lucky, the first one to attack you will take the quick 1-star win and not pillage your whole village (it happens more frequently than you might imagine). By giving up 1k elixir, 1k gold, and a handful of trophies I get a free 12 hour shield.
Besides, your stated issue is not being able to adequately defend your resources. If that is the case, you should do everything you can to protect your resources - and ONLY your resources. The 4 structures in the center of your village should be gold and elixir stores. And always remember to empty your mines and pumps before logging out.
I would suggest maxing TH6 by farming. Otherwise level 45-50 wont be your biggest problem anymore. You may wanna change your trophy range if your having trouble gaining and keeping resources.
i agree with this post...even if you do level to TH 7, you get your extra walls/cannons/def etc...TH8 can just walk right in and take all your loot without penalty.Quote:

However, if you do go to TH7, more loot for me :D
It goes like this:
attack brings on shield which helps to amass gold/elixir but then shield runs out before I can amass enough and I am attacked again thereby starting the whole process again
Suppose I will have to sacrifice trophies.
Ah. You should be attacking and looting the gold, not "saving" up.Quote:

I think some football coach once said "The best defense is a good offense". Quite true in CoC.
And TH7 gives you access to Level 4 troops too, which makes attacking and looting easier. Pretty much until I had a maxed out TH7 I couldn't ever productively 'save up', but always had to attack and loot like mad for each major upgrade I wanted.Quote:

There are many reasons for this, but I believe the key reason is in both TH5 and TH7 you get a new Camp -- that's potentially 50 more troops introduced in each of those levels, which makes a world of difference in your attacks. Where many levels add to your defense (TH6, TH8 and TH9) -- they don't infuse you with that kind of offense the way TH5 and TH7 do. I highly recommend getting to TH7 soon, but then staying there for a long time... until your walls are all upgraded to "blue sapphire". That's where I farmed the most resources, by far (900-111 trophies was best for farming -- though I was able to get up to 1,700). Also, max your camps to 50 -- that's a big mistake people make IMO. And of course, upgrade your troops as much as possible as you go.
Th 6 has about 79 days worth of upgrades so with 2 builders you should complete it in about 40 days, 27 days with 3 builders. You need 9 million elixer and about 19 million gold. Maxed pumps won't provide enough gold to fully upgrade your walls, but you should be producing enough for everything else.
Th 7 has 215 days worth of updates (108 days with 2 builders, 72 days with 3) and costs 27 million elixer and 60 million gold.
I just recently maxed out th 6 and moved up to th 7, and the raiding is a lot worse. When my town hall finished all of my storages were overflowing because I couldn't spend all of the money I was making, so I was able to build every new defensive weapon available. However, it's still pretty easy for everyone at this level to crush my village, and I expect it will be that way until I finish upgrading most of my defense. So if you are having trouble defending your village at town hall 6, upgrading to 7 isn't a solution.
Maybe you should drop trophies.
You will still get plenty of opportunities to raid at th seven.

Definitely max your village before, leaving only the odd structure to keep your builders busy as your TH is underway.
Well I'm at TH 6 right now, about to upgrade to TH 7 because I maxed everything out and I had no problems at all with attacks.
