All defenses to previous level and after that, max splash defenses. At th8 and below, max mortar and then wizard tower. At th9, wizard towers first, then mortars.
if i upgrade all my defenses at once i will get attacked a lot
Well, you will be low on gold. i forgot to mention, laboratory, spell factory and army camps and two builders for defense.
the elixir upgrades for offense is even more important.
i always do 4 defenses of the same type at the same time. I prefer being weak 4-5 and get it over with, than being week a whole month doing it 1 by 1. Also, dump excess into walls. As long as your resources are low, no one will attack you.
Put your TH outside the walls and it won't be that much of a problem.Quote:

ALWAYS Laboratory first. Followed by army camps.
If you like to war a lot, upgrade archer towers, then air defense, cannons, wizard, and mortar last.
If you don't care about war much and prefer to farm a lot, upgrade wizard tower, then mortar, then archer, then cannon, then air defense.
If you are a new town hall 8 and you want a max base, only spend gold on walls, don't upgrade any defenses.
This is a curious one....never heard that before. I'm new to TH 8 as of yesterday and agree with what you posted about lab, army camps and defense, however, why are you recommending pouring gold into walls first?Quote:

I personally like placing all the new stuff down as fast as possible....then things like cannons and archer towers getting them close to the other ones pretty fast.
If you war alot then your CC is fairly important although not more important than army camp upgrades.
First thing is first, the money makers, your troops! So, lab, spell factory and army camps.Quote:

Town hall 9 takes 1.3 billion resources to max walls. If you max everything at town hall 8 and then go to town hall 9, by the time you max all your buildings, you will not be anywhere close to being done with lava walls. So you'll sit there for like 2 months with 5 free builders while you finish walls.Quote:

Also the loot penalty doesn't matter because town hall 9 gives you level 6 barch which is way more important.
Assuming you raid constantly and are super active (without boosting barracks) then by skipping town hall 8 completely, you can still max everything at town hall 9 in about 300 days.
If you max everything at town hall 8 and then go to town hall 9 and max everything, it takes about 400+ days total.
Not a bad idea tbh. Wish I had thought of it. Being near max TH8 though, I may as well just finish it.Quote:

I've already decided I won't be doing lava walls. I'll probably be stopping at LEGO. Grinding for Lava walls isn't my idea of fun, considering I doubt I'll even enjoy grinding for skulls.
