i am staying at 1500-1600 range trophy.
it took me a while to find a base with decent amount of GOLD.
i wonder how much gold do you all stop and start attacking?
personally i only attack base with <150,000 gold else i will be pressing next.
i do find bases with 200k/200k but they are highly defended with 2 xbow purple/black wall
and i will skip them as well because i wont get much loot from them.
however sometime took me 20min to find such a base..
my troops are of max level
1150-1250 looking for mines mainly but i'll take 200k in storages too.
60 arch 60 gob 12 giants 10 wbs
Making 6 mil on decent day. nothing too fancy just plain raiding.
Im parked at 1500-1600, loot is good and somehow far from the TH7 lightning brigades,
My troops are the ff:
13 giants as meatshield for xbows and maxed mortars
50 Archers
45 Barbarians for cleanup duty
50 Goblins
5 wallbreakers
Occasional heroes and CC troops to compliment it the base is too tough
usually, if I attack a base with maxxed collectors, I only deploy the goblins or archers
maxed storages in 3 days, elixir is not much of a problem since I maxed the giants, archers and barbs already, hence I have the luxury of attacking with a full army every now and then
we have the same problem bro, sometimes it takes me 10 to 15 mins to find good raid, though I discovered that loot is usually good (300 to 400kish) arpound noontime/afternoon (11 am to 5pm. in my timezone, after that time period, loot is scarce
My mix isn't terribly different from those above. You try to go in with a force that has some good strength, but isn't horribly expensive or time consuming to build. I hunt around 1300 myself with pretty good luck.
My goal is to find someone with some accessible resources to poach -- I pretty much never think about 3 starring. In fact, if I can get away with sending in just part of my troops to get a big score, I'm happy to do so and not worry about how much of his base I took out.
maybe i am just plain unlucky, i hardly find weak bases with 200k/200k
Try observing time patterns bro, there's usually a peak hour/s for loot, hope you'll be able to find it....Quote:

120k resources and above.
90 archers
5 wall breakers
7 giants
rest a mix of barbs and goblins sometimes minions
i mostly use 60 barb 90-100 archer 10wb 30-40 globlins
Have to expect it to get harder though. As you move up, I'm guessing the percent of players active at that TH level also increases -- so, more competition for fewer squishy and/or fat targets.Quote:

I think if you lower your expectations some and go in with cheaper, fast build troops, you can still raid a lot of resources during a day.
Think about what it's like for those now at lvl 10 TH. Probably very intense competition and very tough targets.
well like i said it get harder n harder to farm..we need more storages or let it generate gold faster.
I don't get this... It would take your entire army 25 minutes to retrain. If you would have to retrain your army after every battle, you would be able to attack 19-20 times in an 8 hour day. That is if you go at it non stop every 25 minutes.Quote:

My point being, how freaking much do you play this game? You would have to be online non-stop for that 6 million.
Also you are forgetting the cost of attacking I presume? And I also presume the 6 mill is combined of both resources?
The army i build is 8 giants, 8 wbs, 40 goblins, rest archers plus whatever i get in CC, here are some of the results.
TH9 - 1250-1450 range.

121.994 gold - 68.674 elixer
For all attacks I used my full army of:
10 Giants
5 Wallbreakers
80 Archers
40 Barbarians
20 Goblins
In my case, I play 6 hours a day, and in two to three days i maxed bothmy elixir and gold storages, its all about the right time to loot, just observe your attack patterns and you'll realize that there are peak hours for looting, same with scanner and titoezz, we net around 200k-300k of loot (both elix and gold) and since we've maxed our troops and our defense is not much of a pushover, 6 million a day is very plausible, especially if you log in heavy hours (6 to 8 hrs) recently, since my builders would take 5 days to finish, there are days that I would not play or play two to three hours onlyQuote:

250k++ per hour is not that great actually...i'm more interested in how much you can farm in an hour...Quote:

Not a fan of farming with giants. I tried using 8 level 6 giants in place of the barbs i would use and i find that it takes longer to get the resources and also longer to build my army. Maybe I'm just not doing it right i guess. I prefer a simple and fast archer, barb, gobs, wb army. This was right before i went to bed, haven't raided yet. I only have 3 barracks so normally takes 30 min per attack before searching 10-30 "next's" for a match.

Loot often and take what comes up

I consider both succesfull loots...
60 barbs & archers, 8wb tag along with the goblins... And occasional minion or 4.
Cool, anyway, I only use giants when there are xbows and maxed mortars, if none, the usual barbs/archer/goblins budget comboQuote:

thats your problem... only attacking bases with less than 150,000 gold...Quote:

Very nice log... Just confirming that you are indeed TH9? Also, how many times on average do you click.Quote:

Yes im TH9 and i click maybe 10-15 times.Quote:

i wonder how many "next" should you hit before getting a decent base in range of 1100-1200
http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/...ps209e2631.jpg
im currently on my lucrative loot time (5 hrs left before the loot window closes)
I'm climbing to crystal league now and found the 1650-1800 the best spot. I was already at 1500+ so can't compare under. 1900+ it gets harder.
This is most basic thing that need to be done everytime. I'm surprise there are many many noobs who don't do this.Quote:

Only "problem" with that is, that you might mess up your army composition if you had units in que that you did not use. Course if that is a gamebreaking problem... Change game ;)Quote:
