Nice progress, both of you. It's interesting to hear the different strategies.
Thank goodness my AQ is finished in less than a day, so I'll be back to more efficient raiding tomorrow. My lab finished yesterday, so I finished a few more Lv11 walls and put in archers to max. Had a book of fighting, so I insta-completed them to help with farming and had enough DE so I put in my poison spell right after since I use it for war more and more now. I've been transitioning toward more ground strategies, especially now being a 10. By the time my Dark Barracks are finished and then the poison is complete I should have enough DE to put bowlers in the lab, so they'll be maxed and out of the way early.
CC: 5 > 6: 1d22h
Archer Queen: 30 > 31: 19h58min
Army Camp: 7 > 8: 2d20h
Army Camp: 7 > 8: 9d10h
Dark Barracks: 6 > 7: 6d11h
Poison spell: 3 > 4: 7d22h
I gathered enough elixir to put another army camp on. Hope to get enough for the third one shortly after my Queen wakes up, then I shouldn't have too much longer to wait for the CC builder to come free for the last one. After my camps are maxed and Bowlers are in the lab, I'll drop some of my new defenses. So far all my gold has gone in to existing walls: 11 Lv11 done so far.
