Havok's TH9 Journey To Max Everything

Hello my fellow Clashing brethren! Havok here, like many others I am creating a progression thread from where I currently sit to (hopefully) max TH9. This is largely in part to keep me motivated to keep going all the way to a max TH9 in a reasonable time, in which I will also then track my TH10 progress!

As a part of a CoC dashboard I maintain in Excel which will serve as my main progress update on a weekly basis, I will be providing information such as where I'm farming, what army composition I'm using, as well as a general summarization. The dashboard is fairly intuitive, I think anyways, with each upgrade color coded by what is required to upgrade it: gold is salmon (easier on the eyes), elixir is purple, and DE is gray. I also show which upgrades have been completed in a Completed (green), currently in progress (yellow) or not started (red) and their associated levels available for upgrade at TH9.

A bit more about me, I generally play CoC for probably a total of 2-2.5 hours per day. This time is broken out by periodic check ins through the day with a fairly regular 1-2 hour session in the evening. I also enjoy base designing (see my signature for my TH8 base), and will continue to pump out TH9 designs as I come across things I think are worthy of posting!

And here we go! First Update:

Date: 9/3/15
Summary: Currently have both heroes available, so doing some wars to take a break from all the farming sessions I've been pulling. It's been probably a good 3-4 weeks since I've warred because I felt like I was too new of a TH9 to contribute. I'll probably do 1-2 more wars and then it is back to the grind!

Nice dashboard

I like the way you keep up with your progress. Bruno has a very good calculator which has more or less the same purpose as your excelfile, and this is what I'm using atm. It might be interesting to look at that one too to maybe finetune yours as you see fit.

Here is a link to his thread: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...ght=calculator

I notice that in you latest update the percentage of walls don't add up to 100% (or maybe I misread on my too small screen).

GL on your journey!

I never knew about that thread, pretty cool. Maybe I should've done my spreadsheets in VB and made it available to the public to duplicate haha.

And it does add up (63.2 + 36.8), just hard to read, especially if you're on a mobile. I open the picture in a new tab usually.

Thanks, man!

With 2 builders almost exclusively on heroes and 1 open most of the time for walls, progress on the defenses feels slow at best sometimes. But mortars will be done early next week and air defenses behind that!

It's been more than 2 months at TH9 unfortunately.

I started this thread on 9/3 with 42 legos. I hit TH9 on 6/27/15. So it took 151 days lol. Definitely feels good, but now lavas feel very overwhelming.

Nice work, sounds like you've been grinding away nicely. I'm 70% of the way through lava walls and 80% through TH10 and it takes a while! TH9 was the longest for me though.
