The point of walls?

[zachUVA]

Maybe, but lvl6 still two shot lvl9 and lvl8 walls. It has been AGES since i have been gold farmed by a standard gold raiding Army. Now my core is lvl9 and the rest is lvl8 walls.

from my own farming experience a high level th9 is just too hard to farm. Even guys with lvl7 walls are just not worth the effort, not when they are backed up by lvl3 xbows and max splash. And forget about a th10 with triple xbow and dbl infernos. There are just better targets out there.

Well, in all fairness, my balloonions will fly right over any level walls and farm them.

Lol, i was going to post that the only thing smashing my base right now is air armies! I am hoping once my last xbow finishes upgrading to lvl3 in 3 days will put an end to that! One of my clan mates almost had a heart attack when a balloon ions army stole every single resources he had, lol.

but walls really don't matter then,

they are very effective in stopping ground farm armies!

In all fairness, even a max th8 with lvl 8 walls is a pain to farm. Why i say lvl8 is good enough, but lvl9 do look real pretty!

I too just completed skull walls at TH9, did some lvl9 walls and then decided to go TH10 instead... and I don't regret that decision.

To the OP about the original question, is it worth doing walls. I'm guessing the question really is, is it worth doing level 9 and 10 walls at TH9. My opinion is NO! Really! because you can do those walls in TH10 as well. Farming efficiency is a little worse off but I still managed to make enough gold to keep all my builders busy for the last two days since the upgrade (2 infernos on the way plus an xbow, archer tower, cannon, spell factory and army camp). Am kinda wondering what's the deal with all the TH10 scare stories really.

If you've done skull walls, you're good enough to continue doing walls at TH10 and start putting your elixir (which you're probably wasting at this point), and builders to better use.

To the continuing discussion about how walls effect strategy. Note, even balloons and hogs follow an AI that takes walls into account in terms of how distance is computed between an object and a building. A distance over walls is counted as further compared to distance without a wall being present. That's just how the AI is programmed. Try this, when your units are travelling to the left or right instead of going inward (very familiar moment where a lot of cussing happens), try releasing a single wall breaker ahead of those unit's path (to weaken to wall, no need to destroy). You may be surprised when all those units stop going left or right and start attacking that wall to get inward.

Whatever makes you sleep at night dude, I see from your forum activity you look for trouble everywhere you go. Here's a tip - keep your negative, non-constructive, "clever", sarcastic quotes to yourself.

Some history I bothered in finding...


All your historical posts lean towards you being a farmer yet you speak like you know everything about trophy hunting (context of my original question), you don't give your IGN or clan name so no way to back your claims - one of the "clever" ones who can 3-star any base and defend any attack!

Now go troll another thread!

Oh and btw - Stick your head back in the sand!

/Gets some ice to sort out my hard on from your many posts! Pfffft!

yes, I farm, what has that got to do with anything? That post was looking for a clan, not looking for trouble you ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I have gone to masters and am in a high level clan with champion players in it. I have talked to them and watched numerous replays, so your masters 2 experience doesn't impress me in the slightest.

You are the one claiming there is no difference between 1 star and three star, you are the one that needs to get your head out of the sand.

i have been on the forums for a long time and posted quite a few times. Why are you so obsessed with that you weirdo?

[Growler]

and the number one player in the world has lvl9 walls....

telling you something.

That he rarely gets seriously attacked?

WALLS. LOOKS.GOOD

It's all that matters.

kthxbye

It depends on which range you plan to stay for a majority of the time. Lvl 8 vs lvl 9 walls will not make that much of a difference above masters 2 as has been made obvious throughout this thread. However, if you are a farmer who stays below crystal 3 for most of the time with the occasional push, you would want to get your walls high. Personally I'm an almost maxed TH9 (4 arc towers and 3 cannons to go) but I plan to finish my lvl 9 walls before going to TH10.

I don't give a damn if you have skull walls. If you have around 2k DE that can be breached with less than 8 WBs. I will raid your base indiscriminately.

Very good post. I think most people, myself included dont want to go to TH10 because of all the horror stories about loot. Hence they want to hang out at th9 and farm walls. But just like earlier with th9, it hurts your overall progress to have idle builders for so long.

Rage those 8 wall breakers and you qualified just about every base ... lol Jokes aside, if you can raid to my DE, drinks on me. Happy to oblige!
