Through the lower levels of the game there seems to be an over abundance of elixir and an extreme dependence on gold. My suggestion is alter the building cost to include elixir into those costs, especially for building that should obviously require elixir (wizard tower? Duh). I shall leave such calculations up to the developers.
So do you want building to cost less or buildings that cost gold to upgrade to cost elixar?
Elixir is for offense. Gold is for defense. Attacking in this game is essentially the process of converting elixir into gold, de, and trophies.Quote:

This would make the summing of costs and abundance to building upgrades too much.

OK, then tell me where to spend 10 billions of elixir??? Everybody swimming in elixir.Quote:

My view is that in early stages (up to and including th7) the game is gold heavy and elixir light. . . it only seems to be from th8 up and the opposite is true.
perhaps rather than redressing a balance we need more stuff to spend elixir on in later town halls?
Actually, that will be what the defences that require reloading will have been all about i guess?
What difference does it make? Elixir being abundant means maintaining enough to attack is easy and most attacks allow you to recover any elixir spent. It also means that failed attacks are easy to recover from.Quote:

I had never wait for pumps. Even with TH8 and lower. Now I have full elixir storage in TH9 for three months.Quote:

And they are always full, because only one way to spend elixir is to train troops for next attack or donating.
If you are attacking for 10-50k resources and loosing elixir on every attack then it is another problem with strategy or arithmetic.
Anyway, we need more things for spending elixir.
You're not listening. I didn't say you had to wait for pumps. I said waiting for pumps is essentially what you're requesting.Quote:
