Man, you too are almost done with TH9. I still have a long way to go. Good progress, as always.
For me in lab I still have to work on Barbarians, archers, Goblins, Healers, baby Dragon, Lightening, healing, jump, poison, haste, minions, witch and lava loons. That's all. LOL.
Plus my royals are at BK 12 and AQ 11, so long long way to go for me. Maybe 5-6 more months. Then there's skeleton spell opening and upgrade. Taking all barracks to max. And defenses.
Good thing that I'll have you guys to guide me when I'll finally make it to th 10, if I'll.
Good luck guys.
