Better to have more or less storages?

Hi, I come from Switzerland so my english won't be excellent.

I tried to find an answer for my question using the search button, but evidently I'm not able to put right keywords or anyway cannot find it.

I am actually town hall l.8, near to have any defense up to 8's possiblities also near to th9.

I have 3 storages for each resource, and I am wondering if at th9 should I do the 4th of each.

If I understood, I have a peak of 200k resource/storage which can be stolen: also is it better to make a fourth storage, allowing another 200k resource availble, but having more storages to be destroyed (also more hp and more time taken from enemies' troups) or should I stay with 3, letting em be more defensed? What's your opinion and why?

And I also wanted to ask you a link with an updated list of how the available loot works and how the difference of the level between your town hall and your attackers' work.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: if found the infos about available loots (december update: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...he-Loot-System ) and there I found out that now the difference between your th level and the attackers' do not matter anymore. My question is still the same, imo it's better to have less storages, but what do you think? I guess this is the cons of the actual loot system, any player with more storages gets a nerf. Isn't this against the sense of progression? And who already built his storages now is somehow nerfed. Shouldnt this be fixed? Like putting a cap of TOTAL storages loot availble: for example now it works so if I understood:

TH9: 3 storages, cap of 200k each, total cap of 600k
TH9: 4 storages, cap of 200k each, total cap of 800k

we'd change it for example to:

TH9: 3 storages, cap of 200k each, total cap of 600k
TH9: 4 storages, cap of 200k each, total cap REMAINS 600k

Or maybe find a way in the middle of the 2, or I don't know, it's up to you Supercell, maybe it's better if it stays as it is!

Edit 2: corrected myself, I failed writing I'm th7 while I'm th8.

Edit 3: fladeva's comment *finally* made me understand the available loot system. So edit1 is useless.

Correct : TH 7 is 2 storage for each resources, TH 8 is 3 for each, TH 9-10 is 4 for each

This is simple logic, ask yourself :
When you raiding other village which is harder ? more storage or less storage ?
I believe more than 90% raiders will say the more storage give more trouble for the attackers
Then, get all the storage available, max it all and spread them into different wall section is one of the best solution to reduce your loss

The cap is not count for each storage, it is count for all your resources no matter how much storage you have.

I would suggest just getting your fourth (or third whatever) storages. Spread them out over your base and only half of them will be taken out (Unless you get totally dominated by a higher level)

I would get the 4th storage cause some of the th 9 upgrades are more than 6mil so you wont be able to upgrade your archers to lvl 6 or your xbow to lvl 3 for example if you don't get your 4th storage.
Normaly it's better to have less storags cause you can protect them better.

Thank you for this clarification.

So, still the question reamins, is it better to have the cap in 3 storages or in 4 storages?

To answer you'r question.

it is better to have all 4 storages completely maxed out and spread around you'r base. you will lose less loot that way. Im not gonna go in depth about it but it just is.

No problem :) Happy farming
More storage in TH 9 maybe seems you'll constantly keep losing 1/4-2/4 of each storage from raid which is mean you only lose half (50%) from a decent attackers and quarter (25%) against poor raiders but it just a little pain compare to you have 3 storage, when opponent destroy 1 of your storage they already gain 33% of the loot and 66% loot for 2 storage taken. Did not mention that farmers will more gladly to drop in your base if you only have 3 storage

Just another 1 more storage doesn't seem much, but actually it's far more difficult to raid.

4 storages!

The way i see it is, if you have 3 storages their is more loot in each storage to be taken and less storages to destroy making it easier for the attacker. Having another storage spreads the loot out, adds another 1-2% to your base and takes an attacker more time/strength to capture all your resources. As for being able to defend 3 storages better i dont get this line of thinking at all.

There is no debate, all the experts say that more storages is always better than less, at all TH levels, for the reasons described in this thread (spreads loot out, losing 1 storage means losing less loot if you have more storages)

It's better to have more storages. Though it will take more of an effort to protect them, having your loot distributed among many storages will help when an attacker is attacking your base; meaning he will steal less loot from 1 storage if you had 4, compared to 1 storage if you had 2 or 3.

more storage. It spreads the wealth out into all the containers a bit, and increases how much you can have stored for upgrades.

I cannot think of any reason to NOT max your storage abilities.
