One year of Clash in under a minute

I took a screenshot of my base a few days after I started playing and decided to keep taking them pretty much every day for the last year. So, now on my 1 year clashiversary, I present the evolution of my base:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zygdkcONMQM

My clash bio:

GG 979 million
EE 815 million
HH 5.1 million

Both heroes upgrading to 35.
Walls: 53 skull, 54 lego, 101 lava, 42 zaps (the equivalent of 181 lavas had I gone in order).

I have never bought any gems, but after I got my 5th builder, I started doing a couple barrack boosts a week using in-game gems.

I have been in two clans. I started in Reddit Kappa, but after a couple months of warring, I decided to be in a less casual clan. I joined North Remembers, which was founding by one of my Kappa clanmates.

I've been barching in Crystal since the beginning of TH9 and was barching in Gold before that. Once my heroes and infernos are maxed, I'll move up to Masters and continue barching there.

I rushed through TH6, 7, and 8 once my walls were done, and I rushed through TH9 once my heroes were done.

Nice job on this. The quality for me was a bit crappy in the beginning though, but otherwise, I'm impressed. I did have this idea at one point but I could never bring myself to commit to it.

This video shows some interesting things...

Just 20 seconds till TH8. The rest of the video is TH9 and 10.

We can see that the game gets pretty stalled when he gets to TH9.

Majority of people quits the game when the MAX their TH8, because starting TH9, everything become so slow and expensive...

Two reasons: 1) they are the lowest priority among defenses and I just haven't gotten to them yet and 2) I schedule my builders to have 1 come free every day. I keep those 2 defenses to fill in among longer upgrades.

I've never watched a video on the forums.

I promised someone I loved very much that I never would

But for you I made a exception.

(Only some will get the Equalizer reference :rolleyes:)

In all seriousness that was pretty cool. Can't imagine how many screenshots you had to take XD

Best......thread........ever!

you rushed a little through your defensive upgrades, am I right in saying? Interesting to see how everyone plays their own way. I personally really like upgrading my defences and watching Attacks against them in their max capability, then altering my layout to adjust.

I also can't help having layout symmetry, think it looks so much better that way but can constrain defensive capability.

I use the walls as a resource dump. I'm going to keep the 1 million dump around as long as possible, so when I have 3+ million to spend, I put it in the higher level walls. I want maxed walls in the end, so the order doesn't matter to me.

I took a screenshot with the idea that I'd have one for each TH level, but then thought "why not just do one every night?"

It also let me do things like track the time bug since I had timestamps on the pictures.

Why don't you try to replicate what I did (scheduling 1 builder to come free each day for about a year and can continue to do so for another 4-5 months), and tell me when you would have leveled up the ATs and cannons. I can pretty much guarantee that there will be other defensive structures instead that are low level.

I will do the same thing once I get my 2nd iPad.
