My Clash of Clans Journey from Town Hall level four
Here it is, my journey in Clash of Clans. I upgraded my Town Hall to level eight at least a week ago from posting.
I started playing Clash of Clans back in November 2012, however as you see below, I quit playing Clash of Clans for a while, and resumed sometime in November 2013 or December 2013. When I resumed, I found to my surprise that I actually played Clash of Clans before and had reached Town Hall level four. So obviously I chose to resume that village.
This is what my village looked like when I resumed.

Yes, I did make a mistake of trying to put too much buildings inside my walls, and thinking that the obstacles blocking my walls would protect my village. At least I did not make the fatal mistake of thinking that putting my village outside would do the same thing.
This is the first picture I could find of me being attacked after I resumed Clash of Clans.

Notice that they gained way more trophies than I lost. Also notice how much loot they got. Do you see players at Town Hall level eight being content with this amount of loot?
This is a few more pictures of the earlier days of Clash of Clans.

After a while, I changed my Village's layout to this, and started the upgrade to Town Hall level five.

My village started to improve more as I upgrade my Walls, add missing Defenses, and researched improved troops.

For me, Town Hall levels five and six were the peak of Clash of Clans, because of multiple reasons.
Number one, the upgrades don't take so much resources back then. Nowadays, the upgrades take too much Gold and Elixir, and raidng takes way too long to find a good target, and you need multiple raids to get the required resources or be forced to wait for your resources to build up.
Number two, the upgrades completed in less than a day. I'm not saying the upgrade times are too long, they actually complete faster than you think. It is just that it felt better to see your buildings upgrade in a reasonable amount of time.
Number three, I was in good clans back then. Now the clans either kick me out without a valid reason, they are inactive, or they just aren't good. Clash of Clans is about Clans, so you need to be able to be in a good clan to win.
Back on topic. As my defenses improved, my viliage was slightly tweaked by me, so that it would be perfect.

Then I upgraded my Town Hall to level six. I placed my last Gold Mine and Elixir Collector.
More content will be added later.
I have come a long way from there, and I'm now at Town Hall level eight. I'm actually surprised that you can get to Town Hall level eight from level four in less than eight months.
This is my village as of this moment (will be updated as time goes on).
