Welp, this is pretty straight forward....
Never attack anyone, upgrade every single thing before you upgrade to the next TH, upgrade your walls whenever you have spare gold. Typically leave at least 10-xx amount of wall upgrades to upgrade WHILE you upgrade your town hall.
***you only collect trophy bonuses on ATTACKS so forget that noise. I'm at lvl 7 th, 28 exp and have only been attacked once, so let that be an example.
I lurk in the shadows baby, yeahhhhhh
