Those walls are really fairly weak. I would upgrade them, personally. The loot drops susbstantially from everything I have ever read, so getting 500k per skull wall will be much more difficult there.
Well if I can get all my walls to lvl7 do u think then I will be ready?
If your base is that close to being maxxed, it really doesnt matter a whole lot. Yeah, its easier to get those lvl 8 walls at TH 8, but you will be fine either way, in my opinion. This is all coming from a TH 8 player, though.Quote:

You are ready in my opinion. The majority on this forum is afraid of the loot penalties. I don't mind it at all as I get to prey on a LOT of TH8's for that very reason. I will attack a near maxxed TH8 any day over a mediocre TH9 with dual x bows and 4 wizard towers. Taking loot penalties into consideration I managed a good 5 million gold and 4 million elixir yesterday. Wow, i would have made a lot more at TH8......shucks.Quote:

Just to share after two weeks more in TH9, I realize that TH9 isn't that bad about loot. Yet you got the loot penalty but with a proper segmented storage you not likely get serious attacks, especial if yr dual xbow is ready. You harvests from others and from collectors, your lost is minimal.
Take a look at my base in the signature when I was upgrading to TH9, not all defense maxed out but got the skull walls for scary effect lol. I'm doing good in TH9 though.
As important as defense is I am an offensive minded farmer. I think I have raided 300+ and won about 9 on defense so far. If what you are saying is correct and offense IS more important, then wouldn't level 6 troops, golems, and 4 spells make it worth it to make the jump?Quote:

Sure on paper there are loot penalties, but that doesn't mean you cant find great raids. I aim for a minimum 180K of each resource per attack and typically find 200k+. I usually find 2-4 300K+ raids per day as well and sometimes in the 400K-500Ks if I am lucky. Yes, I would have made more as a TH8 raiding the exact same base, but i'm more than happy at TH9. And you readily discount how valuable having 220 army camps and level 6 troops are. Until you have tried it I wouldn't discount it and say that raiding is easier as a TH8 because it is not. I find that my raids are far easier now and I use a lot less troops and am able to attack more bases as compared to when I was at TH8. Sure there are loot penalties but stop discounting the fact that there is also a huge advantage that comes with it. As for TH8's attacking me and getting the bonus loot? Doesn't happen....my defenses are strong enough to fend off TH8's now rather easily.Quote:

No one, and certainly not me, is saying that TH 9 doesn't offer advantages, because it surely does, but the fact that even you readily concede is that there is more loot at TH 8. If someone has lvl 7 walls, good splash defenses, and maxed troops/camps at TH 8, then they will have absolutely no problems in trastitioning to Th 9. That being said, again facts are facts. There is less loot. It is easier to get level 8 walls/etc. at TH 8, but not doing so doesn't ruin anyone's game (assuming the base isn't really premature).
You seem to be trying to stuff words into my mouth here. I am not trying to make TH 9 out to be worse than it is, and it isn't bad. I just recognize that the loot penalties matter and that despite the offensive and defensive advantages of TH 9, upgrades available at TH 8 can be saved for quicker and easier at TH 8. There are plenty of reasons to go to TH 9 before everything is maxxed at TH 8, whether it be the AQ, level 6 troops, xbows, or even just the added fun factor. If it helps to illustrate my point, I didn't fully max my TH 8 either before moving on. But again, I still recognize that those remaining upgrades would have been even easier to finish at Th 8 despite all of the added advantages.
Those of us who advise maxxing are stating the ideal case, even if it isn't right for everyone. If someone has all level 8 walls and maxxed/almost maxxed defenses, I'm not going to come here and tell them that they really should wait to finish up those level 11 collecters before moving on, because that would be downright silly. The maxxing thing is a general rule, not something that I believe should should be adhered to religiously (and believe me there are some here who do think that).
