Midwest Minions strategy thread is for all to participate. All opinions and facts of good intentions are valued.
Reason for starting this thread: We needed a place to discuss strategy and other clan topics without burying our war discussion & requests in clan chat.
Clan Tag #8RLG2LUR
The first subject we need to discuss is walls. The pros & cons. This is a big source of disagreement in our clan. Everyone hates dumping their rescources into them and how necessary is it to max them out before moving to a higher th?
I think it depends on the TH lvl, 7 and below should max out before moving up. TH 8 should have no less than 1 below max, then TH9 plus, I would put at personal preference - within reason.
After getting caught up in the max upgrade of walls before moving up to a TH9 I can see the the advantages and disadvantages.Quote:

- it does hinder war performance by limiting offensive capabilities of higher troops available with TH9 as well as additional defensive resources such as Xbows, etc.
i will also say that wall upgrades can become distracting. Once you start it's hard to move on. I keep telling myself one more section and I'll move on, but then start another section.
Not part of Midwest minions, but I'd like to voice my opinion.
Anything below th9 should be maxed. After skulls, the attackers need to plan their attacks a bit more. Also, if you go 8.5 or 9.5, the extra gold can be dumped into a reasonable cause.
Thank you for participating. This is good info.Quote:

High lvl walls make a huge difference on the type of armies and planning involved in attacking a base. I recommend maxing at every lvl, as you progress through the game. The thing is. It is such a grind and pain to knock them out. Once you fall behind, it is that much harder to catch them up. If you have any intention of having a high lvl war base that only a max TH10 can touch, you need high level walls. If that's not your goal, then there can be some debate as to how far to go with it.
Walls can be a real painful process if not upgrading through your progression in the game. If you are a farmer one lvl maybe two lvls below max depending on th lvl should be your goal. If you are war monger i would suggest maxing out your walls before moving on. Maxing out your walls takes time and patience in the end I believe it's worth it. Plus a base with maxed out walls looks Bad A$$. Clash On Peeps
Once walls are at lvl 9, most attackers seem to favor using lavaloonion of late, which negates walls altogether. If they are using ground troops, they can throw a jump spell or two, in the mix. Also now people are bringing a handful of earthquakes into things. Hence why I think at that lvl upwards, it's more of a personal choice, weighing the cost verses benefit, for what you're looking to achieve.
