This is the post somewhere on the forum. Extremely sorry cant remember the poster so cant give credit.

I did some maths on the optimal levels to leave your BK and AQ (I'm at work so I can't upload that right now.) I looked at the number of hits to completely clear a MAX TH9 base, and how each level corresponded with the level before. There are some levels where the number of hits only went down by less than 5. (Also did the same with TH10, and got similar results.)
From my maths, the AQ grows pretty evenly at each level but the BK has huge jumps at a few levels. The levels are 7, 12, 16, 21, 27. These are the levels you want to stop your BK at. The AQ optimal levels are 6, 11, 17, 21, 25.
Also, I think your BK should always be at a higher level than your AQ. Reasoning is the longer your BK stays alive, the more damage the AQ can dish out.
So from this maths, I would do:
King to 12, AQ to 11
King to 16, AQ to 17
King to 21, AQ to 21
King to 27, AQ to 25

Wow!! That's some pretty hardcore RnD regarding the optimized level of troops. Thanks a lot for the info, I'd definitely try to follow these rules, if my DE will allow me .

i might change now the next upg to loons instead of giants as i think this will be good for air attacks with lvl 1 hound. Then next would be giants as it would help for farming for now not so much war. I will hold on gobs for now. I have already raked up 45k de and thinking whether i should do another de troops in 3 days time or work on AQ to 10. Might just finish AQ lol. Decisions. X-bows help a lot for defense so kinda happy i put them and learning the trades for war due to that as i am constanly either 2 or 3 in war setups

Yeah, xbows are pretty heavy in terms of war weight, so you might have moved up a little. Loons sound good. I went first for them, as they're my primary requirement. I am more into air attacks.

LAVALOONS!!!! My favorite strategy. Am waiting for the time I'd unlock the hounds and then work on this strategy. Unfortunately, noone in my clan uses this. Neither I've been in a war where anyone would have tried this on us. I understand that it's a hard thing to manage, but then what's fun in not trying hard to win a war.

Giants can definitely wait. But once you have them, you'd love them. Take AQ to lvl 10, the boost will really help. Those extra girls with bows can work wonders. Good luck.

My King is going to 27 now, so according to this my Royals will be at their optimum levels when he's finished.

Please post and share your progress. I dont think Logan will mind . Wow you are way ahead of us. Something we can try to achieve

Thanks. I'm just working on walls and heroes, it's a grind that's for sure. Most of my clan went to Town Hall 10 when they got to this stage, but I'm quite enjoying staying at this level for war attacks. I lead a level 10 clan, too, so we get the benefit of 2x level donations which helps with the new Golems just released.

This is my current base I'm using for pushing to Titans. I'm currently in Champions II: http://imgur.com/EpfkIJT

Looks great!!! I'd suggest take golems to lvl 4 next. Also work on heroes. They'll consume too much DE. Great work with walls and defenses. Good Luck.

Yeah. It's a grind. I don't like waiting on a th for walls for heroes. But I understand that it helps a lot. But I lack that much patience. I need activity. And right now am working on just walls which is forcing all my builders to sit idle, a thing I don't like seeing. Let's hope that I'd get all skulls in couple weeks, and then maybe gold would be used for defenses, and elixir for walls.

Finally started the giants as i have seen in some raids and LV6 do make much difference. Loons will do next as i think i can hold on a bit for lavaloonian attacks. Finally Clan is lv10 and my god those lv2+ donations help a lot. Golem at 4 is awesome when got donated and mine turned 3 today so i think should be pretty awesome. Donating max valks, loons, wiz is kinda awesome lol.

DSF will be unlocked too at TH9 max and now the only eli building remaining is the last DE drill, 2 dark barracks and 3 barracks. DE storage is at max too. Kinda relieved that most Eli building is done and the above apart from last DE drill i can take my time to unlock it slowly.

Haha. Yeah, giants lvl 6 are uber cool and are fun to use. Nice. Lvl 10 clan, I can only imagine. I am already very happy with lvl 5 clan. One level upgrade is amazing. Yeah, must be fun to give maxed troops as a th9, lol. Good work with the upgrade. I am king of slacking. Attacking less, and have stepped out of war for a while. Let's say am taking the new year slow.

[LoganMJ]

Well well well!!!! First update for the new year!!! Hope you're all doing good. I don't have a lot to say today, as I have been off from the game for a while. Spending more time with my family.

In this duration, my king has gone to lvl 10. And I've taken my queen to lvl 6 too. Rest all is same. Wizards are still in lab, and should be lvl 6 by end of 4 days.

I've worked on walls though. Stats below:
Skulls - 122
Purple - 128

So not a lot of wasted time, but wasted resources . All builders are free. And am back to Gold 1, and should make back to Crystal soon. Pushing for 4 M elixir so that I can take my next dark elixir drill to lvl 5. I need that DE more and More. Am already at 18K DE in 3 days. So confused what I should do next in lab. Should it be Elixir based troops or DE troops. Currently planning to go for DE troops in lab. Queen can wait for a while.

So, maybe Golems would be next. Will take long time to reach from 18K to 80K, but I'd get there.
