If you got 9 maxed earthquake spells, couldn't you just drop them all on a town hall and destroy it? Since they do 12% building health couldn't you get a star without troops, or am I just not understanding them?

No. Im guessing you didnt read the description.

If you read it, it clearly says REMAINING hit points.
Here, ill help you.
Spell 1 does 12% damage. 88% remains.
Spell 2 DOES NOT do 12% damage. It does 12% to the remaining 88%, which means
Spell2 does 10.56 % damage. And so on and so on.
You see, the damage gradually diminishes, due to the nature of the percentage based damage system.
So what if you bring 11 you can get it to where it is almost destroyed and it can be destroyed "instantly".
Check this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bFIS5US66s
As you can see, the 11 maxed earthquake spells in the video didn't destroy the town hall. This is because earthquake spells only takes away a fraction of the current remaining hitpoints.
Ok I did the calculations... if you used 5 quake spells you can bring any building to 52.7731917% of its original health.
exactly, i think its around 50% will all maxed earthquake, they seem to be best for either taking down a small concentration of walls, 4 of any levels take down walls, also when a building is low on health it is good for that!
Damage of EQ spells on any non-wall building (measured from in-game):

The threshold for instant destruction is 17.5% for non-wall buildings. But eleven level 4 earthquakes only takes HP down to 33%.
If it helps 4 level 1 Earthquakes will take down any level of walls
