Max out before upgrade your town hall
I remember when upgraded to level 7 town hall, all good. Gold loot about 200-500 k are easy to found. Than i go fast and upgraded to town hall 8, still fine gold loot still between 200-300k. No problem at all. Then i rushed into upgrading level 9 town hall.. Problem begins..i have being attacked by many high levels, revenge would be useless and something changed. The available loot... I hardly found any loot between 200-300 k of gold and elixer that I COULD RAID. With a hard work, very hard work i can keep up.
I think many of you guys have had the same problem with me, so i share this thread hope it will help.
So the reason why you should max out your base are:
1. You have a better chance to maxout your higher level town hall especially the walls
2. You will not give up on the game. The higher town hall, harder to loot.
There is a fact why we can not raid a "Good Loot" on TOWN HALL 2 LEVEL below you. Just imagine have you ever had a GOOD LOOT on raiding a town hall 2 level below you? RARELY. I would say just forget it.
The fact is:
Level 7 = 2 gold storages and 2 elixer storages and 1 de storage
Level 8 = 3 gold storages and 3 elixer storages and 1 de storage
Level 9 = 4 gold storages and 4 elixer storages and 1 de storage.
Let skip the de storages, as you can see each level had +1 storage (gold and elixer) =1 storage have ability to accomodate 2M of gold and elixer. Thats many....
You raid a lower town hall level you got penalties with a lower available loot.
When you saw your friend/ clan member upgrading too prematurely town hall. It does not mean they are FAST than you actually they are SLOWING. So just ask him to visit the forum and READ THIS THREAD.
Hope will help many newbie.
