Protect 3 Storages or Spread 4?

I'm about to make the transition to TH9 (I have 4 walls left, and the collectors to upgrade). I'm researching base designs for TH9 and wondering what people's thoughts are on how soon to add the extra gold and elixir storage? Is it more advantageous to only have to protect three of each gold and elixir storages until I need the fourth, or should I go ahead and add the fourth of each so as to spread out resources more so it doesn't hurt as bad losing one?

Thanks in advance,

Doesn't matter.
Put th outside, everything will be protected

Get the extra storages. Many times, an opponent may only obtain 1 of each storage in a good TH9 base and having them take 1/4 instead of 1/3 loot from the storages is a pretty big deal.

(If you have loot, people WILL raid your base for storages regardless of whether the TH is outside or inside)

Definitely get the 4th. A TH9 premmie defends better than a maxed Th8 because the TH9 has more storages, not because better defenses

You will need the 4th eventually, so many as well plan long term and work on a base now protecting all of them. Even if the new ones are low level for now.

Yea they defend better because they have more storages... and more defenses, and more walls. Even if they are underleveled the fourth Wiz tower, Tesla, and AD help a lot right off the bat.

Thanks for the help. I hadn't even considered the extra defensive nature of storages and their hit points.

Spread storages for sure.
