New player hoping to learn about the "meta" of Coc
Hey guys,
So, I've been playing for about a month now. I honestly don't know why it's so addicting and fun, but in order to make the best use of my time and effort and learn more about this, I've got a few questions.
1. What qualifies you as a gemmer, and is there an unfavorable stigma associated with it?
for the record I've spent $15 on this game, though it was technically free money. I got a free $10 iTunes card from a survey and 20% off on a $25 iTunes card I bought my wife for Xmas. So maybe I've spent $5 of actual money on this game. It seems people who gem are considered to be taking the easy way out.
2. Is the 1 gem boost something I should take advantage of? And what are the best things to use it on? I was holding off on this for awhile to see if I could get enough gems to buy my 4th builder, but at TH 5 I couldn't quite get there, so I bought 1200 and I now have over 1100 I could spend.
3. What are the pros and cons of maxing out vs rushing to Th7. I'm currently at th5 and I've maxed about everything except my barracks and collectors which are 8 and 9. I plan on saving some upgrades for the 4 days it takes to upgrade th5.
4. What is considered premier base? Anything not maxed out before upgrading or is it just for higher lvl bases like 7-8 +.?
