Dont get bogged down just because you have a shield. If I have time to attack all day I just break my shield and fight. My army takes about 20 min to build and if I get attacked during that time I just break and fight again.
My defense of resources is good, so I am gaining more than I lose and there are many times I wont get attacked during the 20 min.
There is a time to trophy build, if you cant find good opponents at your level. Other than that, leave your Townhall vulnerable and protect your storage. With the high HPs on the townhall you can often kill a lot of attackers while they take it down, leaving them with not enough left to get your resources.

Depends. If you can kill the mortar with giants or fewer troops, this can be better first. A couple mortar hits and you have no troops left if you deploy them all.
The trade off is if you deploy too few they get beaten and now you dont have enough to deploy enmasse to win.
In general, near the mortar fewer and spread them out. If mortar (and later wizard tower) are not a problem then swarm is best.
Watching out for bombs obviously...one or two first helps eliminate those.

The following have no need to be inside your walls:
Builder huts
laboratory
Barracks
Army Camps
Spell Factory
No treasure is taken by the attacker in their destruction. The only downside is that their destruction adds to the percentage destroyed, so if you are concerned with trophies, that will hurt. However, you have to be very high level to have enough walls to have them protected. I just put them right outside my walls but in range of my defenses.

Units like archers will attack the nearest structure. So the buildings he listed can help protect a defensive structure, letting a cannon pick off archers before they'll attack it, for example. Though giants and others will go right past to get to the defensive unit.
I didn't protect my mines/elixers with walls as I hope to keep them mostly empty, and then ringed the outside of my base with them and the above stuff, but in cover of my archer towers and cannons.

Another tip I picked up from the web. Don't put all your mines together and all your elixirs together, etc. Some people will attack seeking a specific resource. If you have all your elixir gatherers in one spot then someone seeking more will see you as a more tempting target than if you spread them around, only having to fight your defenses in that one spot to clean them out if you haven't emptied in awhile.

By the way, any thoughts on having a spiraling base and using traps, as opposed to fully closed compartments?
I went with a somewhat spiraling design, with a few spring traps and bombs between, hoping to keep people away from the wizard tower and mortar in the second. Though I realize the traps are only good for one attack until you reset them manually then, which is a downside.

This is my strategy as well. I just need to wait for my resources to pile up so I can make those upgrades.

Exactly. I don't level up until I get everything built and upgrade either. But the matchups is not dictated by the level of your base. It's all about trophies.
Even though I am only a TH5, I get mostly TH6 and TH7 when I try to pick a fight.
At each level, you'll find a point at which it becomes really hard to move up in the trophy rankings without developing your base more. I found that at TH5 that level is about 1100 trophies.
Isn't there some sort of penalty for attacking lower TH levels? Thought I read that somewhere.

honestly, I'd put the TH and castle outside the walls, and make a smaller inner wall around your mortar and storages, and maybe another nearby wall for some cannons/archer towers.
GregR
Footballguy
Going from what I've read, not experience, as my newbie shield lasts for another 3 hours or so.
The penalty is that they would get less resources from you than they would if they fought someone of similar level (or TH level). Not sure if trophy count is reduced also, or not. But their troops are still as effective and all.

Take a look at mine "dude" on CoC. Found the layout on clashofclansbuilder so I'm giving it a shot... Any other feedback welcome!
GregR

I would move that cannon inside the walls so it's protected. Unless you're upgrading it. And I would probably ring the outside wall around the archer tower with your builder huts and barracks so no one can drop archers to take it out right away. Then use the mines and such to be a layer at your gap between the cannons and attackers who come in that way.
Prefaced by the normal, I'm still inexperienced too, just going by what I've read.

I just started playing this yesterday and really had to pry my own fingers off of the phone. It gets addicting quickly. Reminds me a little bit of Dungeon Keeper, which I loved. I'll join the fbgs a little later if there's room. I want to build a nice foundation first before I get involved in any multiplayer stuff.

After your shield wears off you are forced into multiplayer. You should get the clan building so we can send you high level troops

When I get attacked, do my soldiers try and fight off the attackers?
My initial shield runs out in like an hour and I'm a tad nervous
My important stuff is walled in (1/2 level 2 walls and 1/2 level 1) and I've got 2 cannons, a mortar and an archer tower. My gold reserves are mostly empty at the moment (fixed the castle and started upgrading the Town center this morning) so I can't imagine I'll be a very attractive target.

I'm doing the single player mostly for practice/experience. The ramping up of difficulty helps me learn w/o pissing off real people.

you just have to rebuild the clan castle. Cost 40,000

really. I thought all troops defend
TLEF316

Ok. So how does it work? Do I have to specifically request donated troops from the clan pool or will they automatically respond if my town is attacked?

in the thing on the left, you will see when someone needs troops donated. Click donate

Footballguy
Someone else needs to request a donation, then you can donate. If it's a higher level player you're donating to, you may want to hold off until you have lvl 3 archers / giants...

Ah. Cool. Thanks
So I guess then my next question is...how do I know I need troops? Guess I won't really know whether my defenses will hold up until someone attacks me.

You should always be requesting when you can. The troops will both defend your base (I think they basically shoot arrows until enemies get close, then they exit your castle and attack on foot) and you can also bring them out in an attack if you need.TLEF316 said:
There is a cooldown timer on requests, I think it's 20 minutes.
Ignoramus

Your castle will have "request" or "full" over it. I aim to keep it full but I try to make sure I'm donating more than requesting. So throwing my donated troops into every single attack is something I don't do. Before logging off, especially without a shield, it's a good idea to make sure you're full. There is also a cool down period between requests so be mindful of that.Just remember to give more than you get.TLEF316 said:

If your castle is outside the walls, do reinforcements still help fight?
The Duff Man
Footballguy
Castle has a ring around it just like all D
If attackers get inside the ring, the clan troops inside come out to fight

You need to go try to join the clan. It sends us an invite and then we can accept it. Just mention the FFA in the message you send
