"Walls don't matter" Philosophy

The game matching algorithm seems to give almost no weight to walls, which means a world of difference at high level th9 play when gowiwi and gowipe are your best options...

to answer the thread, i think players are just too impatient to farm for walls. I for one will not be going th10 until I get at least my center full lava... Just adds a "wow" factor...

Ok- good point- from a "WAR" point of view in matchmaking, that makes complete sense-
In my experience, Defense, Clan Castle, and Hero strength are the main factors that determine the outcome, but you run a War search and true, walls really aren't factored in- that would be the tie breaker- especially if troops and defenses are the same-
i agree-
The bottom line is regardless of how great your walls are- they are only as good as the defenses behind them- and that is why most people don't focuss on them- it's not impatience- it's strategy- kinda the point
So the idea that walls are worthless may be too harsh a statement. But when you have to budget an xbow upgrade and 2 wall blocks cost the same- where is the payoff?
Personally, I skipped my level 8's altogether because I didn't see the point- if level 10 lavas were 3mil per block, skipping the 8's only cost 1.5 mil per block- to level9- why not? Same amount of wallbreakers to punch through- but that's me.
I say max your builders, and leave 1 free to hide your resources into your walls, but there is no need to rush and farm the walls just for the sake of farming walls- they are not that important- just my opinion-

at any rate, my level 9's are nearly done- I heard the update coming up may have decreased cost of walls level 8 and up- hope it's true- then we can both have that "wow" factor much sooner-
peace

Dude you thing says you are a th9, trying to act like you know what is up with th10. As a th10 mid way through being max I assure you nothing wrong with lvl8 walls. They are high enough to scare off most people as most people aren't building go armies to farm. Its mainly loons, and walls don't do anything about that.as for walls in general at the very least they make an attacker waste army space carrying WB.

Without nice walls, you will be done maxing your base very quick, and if you want nice walls then it is much harder as a th10 due to th loot penalty.

Some people play to farm and have nice base, some people play to smash. Whatever floats your boat.

I don't understand why people say those with high level walls play for hours. I raid for 3 minutes, log off, and raid again in about half an hour or so. My total time spent playing the game is probably half an hour to an hour total and I net around 6-7 million gold per day. Who says you have to constantly stay online to farm for walls?

Walls matter to a certain extent... but not enough to justify the time and effort spent farming for it... Yes occasionally they are the deciding factor between a 1 star or 2 star Gowipe raid, but thats about it really... You still get 2 stared by air raids anyways... With LavaLoon the OP strategy these days, they matter even less....

In War it matters when you are attacked with GoWiWi or GiWiPe but its useless if its an air attack.
Walls are psycological + zaps look cool when you are a maxed th10 i guess
im currently working on my Heroes and doing Lavas on the side . keeping one builder free to just drop Gold when waiting for upgrades to get done. whats the point of sitting on full storages for a week until your next upgrade?

Zap walls are a difference maker, no doubt about it.

but every other level of wall just gets cut up in clan wars...so what's the point? I think that's why people say walls don't matter.

my clan is an older clan, almost everyone is th10 with max defenses. We had a guy join who had better walls than most of us, but defenses were lagging behind a little. After he was 3s in clan war he left...I bet he was pretty upset.

I sported L8 skulls for over a year and I was fine. I'm doing Legos/lava now just bc there is nothing left to do but those and heros. My advice to younger players is to go ahead and get your Skulls but after that put your resources in to other upgrades

They dont reward enough for the price. Its by design the money pit.

walls separate the wheat from the chaff:rolleyes:

Because a lot of people don't pay attention to their own habits. If they did they would realize that the first thing they look at after amount of loot available are a persons walls. And sometimes it's the first. lol.
