That's exactly what I started doing AngrehBard. :) Been having 2 builders on tesla upgrades since my last wizard tower maxed out. What a tedious process.... :)

My Town Hall 8 finished building last Sunday, so I'm still painfully early in the cycle. When I first saw your post a month ago, I foolishly thought I could copy your upgrade plan, but I'm unable to raise gold as successfully as you, so the cheaper upgrades are all I've been able to do so far. I even had to loot Sherbet Towers quite a bit to get the elixer to start my Archer lvl5 upgrade :o

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Thanks eastcoastceo. The farming for gold is hardcore, some days I only just make the cut for the next upgrade and miss out on walls. It gets better as the upgrades takes longer, so more time to accumulate resources. Best of luck!

5 Max Archer Towers and Cannons > 3 Max Teslas.

You get way more bang for your builder time by boosting the cannons and archer towers.

I guess max Cannons and then focus on Teslas. Archer Towers aren't the highest of your priority, and AD can deal with air units anyways.

Good points by both, thanks for that! I do 2 point defense and 2 tesla's at the same time, maxing out cannons first before starting to work on archer towers.

Of course! I did post a few days ago as well, but here you go. ;)

i'm in the process of maxing teslas now, with lvl 5 and 6 teslas (i upgraded two teslas, one air defense at a time). i don't know what base set up you have, but if you use an inner core for dark elixir/gold, a lvl 6 tesla is simply amazing. its limited range (so it doesn't get distracted), fast attack speed, and ability to one-shot lvl 5 wallbreakers simply can't be understated. they're effectively a guarantee that your attacker will have to beat on your walls with troops because wallbreakers won't be able to clear a path. lvl 6 teslas also obliterate lvl 6 giants.

i'm upgrading archer towers last. they are more expensive and slower than cannons, and their ability to target air is off-set by the fact that i have lvl 6 air defenses anyway. their marginal benefits from hit to kill is also underwhelming. finally, as a farmer, i really just don't see very many dragon/heavy air attacks (i'm sure my lvl 6 air defenses help deter would-be attackers, too).

Started maxing out my cannons as soon as my splash finished, 2 down and 3 to go. I must say, ever since all my splash maxed out, I have not had a single serious attack! Also actively working on my teslas, 2 at a time, can't wait for them to finish, but still a long way to go...

Click the community tab on top, then Groups. You can create groups there then have your own discussion threads inside.

Looking forward to see your TH9 thread!!! I might actually change this thread's title, updating the original OP, as interest seems to have picked up. :D

i can't wait to make it! except for the sad fact that I'm a long way to maxing TH8, with only lvl 6 walls *COUGHPREMATURECOUGH* . the only things I've maxed for TH8 ( or completely maxed ) are: Army Camps, Lab, Spell factory, 3 outta 3 gold storages, 2 outta 3 elixir storages, and most of my mines and collectors. still gotta max those defences and walls! http://forum.supercell.net/images/icons/icon8.png

and yes interest has picked up!
