Maxing out walls

I'm pretty new to this game (1 month?)

I've read that maxing out before heading to the next TownHall is recommended.

I currently am at TH5 and I only need to complete walls. I am currently finding they are frustratingly expensive and are taking much longer than I remembered (TH4, walls lv.4). I would imagine it doesn't get easier at TH7.

I am thinking when I upgrade my TownHalls, maybe I should start with walls first? Once they are out of the way, then I feel that everything should feel much cheaper.

Please share me your opinion on maxing out walls first (as a way to get rid of the frustration).

I feel I'm at a point where I just want to take a break from the game altogether. Upgrading walls feels like repetitive motions. (raid/upgrade/repeat). By 50% you feel, "wow, this game isn't moving as fast as it previously was."

I am just imagining what upgrading walls is going to feel like at the next level...

We all love new troops. We all love new defences. We all understand upgrading. I think we hate maxing walls.

How do you keep the game fresh? How do you balance between upgrading walls and still wanting to play more?

Anyone care to share your thoughts on maxing walls first, or taking a break from the game because concentrating on solely walls feels stale at the moment?

Thanks for reading.

Max everything, always, before upgrading to the next town hall level.

As far as wall upgrading priority, do what you can along the way, but buildings should come first.

BUT

If it's getting boring, to the point where you think you want to take a break/leave the game, just go to the next town hall level. The game is about having fun, so have fun!

For me, I love maxing before upgrading my th.

I'm a th 10 now - I only went up to lvl 9 walls before upgrading to TH 10, and I took my heroes to lvl 20. I don't regret it. I'm looking forward though to completing my buildings in the next couple of months and then doing my walls.

Personally, I hate the way lvl 10 walls look, so I'm going to be going straight from lvl 9 to lvl 11 walls, doing one wall at a time. =)

Now that we can use elixir, should speed it up a bit.

You can complain about walls once you're at least th8 where they're 500k a wall. You have it easy my friend.

anyways, now that I think about it, I play the game for walls. I rack up a nice amount of cash and occupy all 5 of my builders on buildings that take a while (the longer the better) then I max my storages and wait for something to finish upgrading. Then I spend most of my resources on walls and repeat....

You actually LIKE how level 11 walls look? What is wrong with you?! :eek:

Personally, I really like how level 10 walls look, especially with a maxed TH10. Everything is black/red/yellow lava themed. Looks amazing.

Level 11 walls? I'm never making a single one lol. ;)

Level 10 walls look the best. 11 is awful. I agree...never will I get them.....Anyways I'm currently working on level 10 walls and the best advice I can give you is to just take it day by day. Walls can be a slow process. Just plug away.

No do not max out walls before going up. Walls way to expensive to max. I did not nor have not maxed walls, doing them now that my defenses are maxed. The cost is not worth it. I am sure there will be comments but I assure you i do not spend much money and play often, and have not paid for my lower than maxed walls. Between hogs, loons and jumps troops gets thru pretty easy anyway. Keep builders on defenses get walls up some and move on, anyone says it doesn't work would only be because they didn't do it that way, I am a loon guy and love nothing more than flying over those max walls.

In theory it's best to upgrade everything as you go... but if you're not having fun i'd recommend going to the next level.

Just be aware that farming will only get harder, in saying that i think that TH7 is a pretty sweet level to farm at as you can poach some abandoned TH9's for a massive amount of loot!

Have you ever seen a th9 with all level 10 walls? SO AWESOME 0_0

Hi, techcare! OK, understood, the fun is in the next town hall! But I'll try not to be tempted until my walls are at 100% maxed. Thank you kindly for your reply :)

Yes, I do know I don't have much to complain about. Sorry for the quasi rant but I do appreciate your reply :)

Yes, maybe a sporadic upgrade, one day defences, one day walls, one day barracks, one day walls. I should have mixed it up in hindsight.

JohnnyBravo, yes I do agree that premature town hall upgrading entails harder farming. So it's the balance between monotanous walls vs frustrating farming :)


I kindly thank you all for your replies. I feel both of my questions has been adequately answered and inadvertently bumping this thread.

I'll take a 2 or 3 day sabbatical. Perhaps I'll download other apps and when I realize how horrible they are it'll make me want to come back to CoC. The last app that held my attention this long was Civilization Revolution (man I love that game).

Thank you JonnyBravo, Jc12, JHMSMLED111, Sobberr, techcare! All the best in your CoC endeavours

Upgrading defenses and troops is just too easy except the waiting.

What else can you do?

As a premmie TH7 that I managed to recover from and farm crystals walls as well as experience from smurfs... my past experiences would recommend the following -

Lvl 5 (Gold) walls are extremely hard to farm, DO NOT bother until TH6, then you max those out before upgrading. Or you can start upgrading to TH7 and finish up walls.

Once TH7, you will look intimidating to lower lvls but weak to higher lvls with your gold, I extremely recommend upgrading your pinks at your core, so they're all together in the center of the base. It's the most intimidating when you see high-lvl walls together.

Start TH8 once max pink with around a dozen crystals for the "scare factor".
