Walls don't kill any attackers...go for defence structures first and only use walls to dump extra money into.
Between 2 upgrades (that is almost every day or day and a half) I use that worker to upgrade my walls. And start an upgrade right after that. I cant keep a worker free caus i only have 3 of them.Quote:

This all depends on your level of buildings ofcourse. My upgrades take on average 4 days now.
What do you mean with "The mythical extra gold that they talk about doesn't exist."? I do always have enough gold to upgrade, if that is what your getting at.
I would always start mortars and wiz towers and do walls between upgrades. For TH7 I finished all my walls to lvl 7 just after the last mortar was done :D
I agree that there is no such thing as "extra gold" as when you have all your builders working 24/7 its pointless to raid and get any more until a builder is almost free, then you raid just enough to start the next upgrade :p
I'm in the 3-builder predicament. With just 3 builders, it's impractical to keep one free for wall building.
What I do instead is try to space out my defense upgrades so a builder becomes free every day or 2. When 1 is free, I first cross my fingers and clear all the new vegetation for the odd gem. I then select what I want to upgrade based on the cash/elixir I have available. I then upgrade walls to burn off any excess cash before initiating the chosen upgrade. For example if I have 2.5m available and I want to initiate an upgrade for 1m, I will spend 1.5m on wall upgrades before initiating the 1m upgrade.
The walls will slowly get upgraded while the defenses are being upgraded. It's a win/win and all builders are busy all the time.
The only downside to this is there are many times that I have max gold available in my stores for attackers to try to get. I don't worry about it too much because virtually every time someone gets the full loot, they give me a shield in return. As long as each attacking session will gain me at least 200k gold, I'm still coming ahead.
I suppose walls would come first... But at the same time, defensive weapons would need upgrading as walls don't stop archers.
If you use all your builders save for one you can upgrade and do walls. I have five builders so I have four builders constantly working and one builder for removing the random trees mushrooms ect and for upgrading walls.
Walls don't stop archers, but highly upgraded walls can do one better and prompt the attacker to use that 'Next' button. The same can be said for a good intimidating base design.Quote:

OMG! Don't even listen to all these noobs suggesting you to upgrade the walls first! Upgrade you defenses and focus on your walls after that. There is no walls that can stop 4-5 wallbreakers.
Exactly.Quote:

Death on points. Im looking at urs defenses when I raid not urs wall. if you have max walls (lvl 10) and lvl 3-5 defenses, good luck in luring me away. To me, walls only to slow you down. NOT KILL . yes you have your defenses they are low lvl = slow kill. well you get the picture after thatQuote:
