Might make engineer acct to c if my opinions r true

Opens up diary*

Dear diary,

So far easy time making defenseless th4. Was told it is hard making engineering acct so wondering when it is suppose to start getting hard? To b continued.....

That would be right around town hall 8 or 9 (maybe even 7) when some other th7 crushes your base with his barb king and a healer. You will get raided every 15 minutes or so for full loot loss (plus loot bonus if its a lower th). With the higher upgrades, you have to decide what you want and then farm it one sitting. Otherwise it will all be gone by the time you log in again. Alternatively, you could just by the resources you need for upgrades and call it a day!

When SC changed the village shield process, I dropped defenses on my minis. At least to TH 7 quantities. It's enough to trigger a shield if people want all your resources, but still gives you lighter defense weight for war.

It gets tough once DE matters, so about th8, but truly difficult at th9. I don't have time to farm two accounts so I mostly just play my main (by the sound of how many accounts you have you might not have this issue) but once your defenseless base needs to store DE for hero and troop upgrades that's when it gets tough. I find if I have a lot of DE that my base will continuously be raided without meeting the minimum number of troops deployed to gain a shield requirement. So I'll go to bed and wake up and have 10 successful raids against my base all taking my DE and still no shield. Good CC troops will help you out a lot in this regard.

Aaaa ic. Ty for your pov n experiences. Sounds bout right. Lol not looking forward to the def once I need de lol. N u r right lol multiple accts arent a problem for me. Don't call me addicted tho!!!....ok fine I am. Hangs head in shame =(

Lol, I never farm. Just war. I'm currently going nowhere fast with my accounts lol. Luckily, my clans win enough that there is still a decent incoming flow of loot so that I can upgrade some thing here and there.

Nice thats whats up. Beauty of game is u can play however u want as long as u r content. Im ocd plus I use game to make my work days bearable. I farm like a maniac lol but quite frankly im sick of it. Now I farm to war at optimal lvs. I missed ALOT of wars bc I was too preoccupied farming. My damn ocd wouldnt let me war till I finished farm first lol.

In particular "Its a mistake that many people make, that they max troops that become useless afterwards, eg. dragons"

Surprised me a little I must admit!:)

Another Question if I may :-

" I went crazy with the update that didn't take into account offense think it was march last year" - not really true, certainly defense weight was highly prioritised in matchmaking (for reasons unbeknown to most of us), but offensive weight was still considered.

Then :-
"Remember offense is half the war weight"

Can I ask where you got this information from?

Certainly pre March 2016, " the system placed equal weight between offensive (army) and defensive (village) progress,"
https://forum.supercell.com/showthre...rs-Matchmaking

But post October(or December), I haven't read any 'details as to changes made!
You may be correct in your estimate btw, I honestly don't know!
:)

Thank you i will read it. I am currently 3* most th10 and a very solid 2* vs th11. Ive always been a solid air attacker though.
SC said they were going back and putting offense into the weight again. They never said how much only that they were going back similar to when they went from 3 min attacks to 3:30 and back to 3. Also many of the complaints currently in mm were the same prior to the march update. There were lots of complaints of rushed bases with xbows and infernos that couldnt be 3* similar to today.
Based on these similar info i would assume it is something close to what they have previously. No i dont have solid proof but an educated guess based on seeing what sc has done over the past 2 years.

Once you need 40,000 or more DE it gets a little tricky. If you're going pure defenseless you need good CC troops and to farm boosted 2-3 hours for heroes.

If you don't go fully defenseless, teslas, traps, walls and CC will help. Thats how I get my shields. The teslas and CC troops plus my high walls force attackers to use a bigger army. Another interesting thing is because I look weak some very bad attackers try to raid and give me a shield.
