Right. I'm maxed at TH8 save ATs and Cannons at lvl 8 of 10, but I learned my lesson when I rushed TH7 by a month to get the DE drill quicker. Not sure in the end if it ended up being worth it or not, but it sucked being a punching bag for a month.
Lol...he even add all gold/elix vaults unprotected for weeks to keep his de alone and still kept them maxed.The answer is right here.
At Honda we have our own super farmer. Imagine the possibilities if they were unitedrival clans would tremble before them and probably not show up for war at all, but leave behind a couple high honeypots as tribute.
Mid-TH9 and never spent a dime. No plans to start either.
Totally agree. If you're not playing the game all the time, you're going to get rolled a ton if your defenses aren't upgraded enough and you'll never generate enough resources to make the massive upgrades.The answer is right here.

No offense to doc - he's obviously free to play as he sees fit, but any TH10 I can 3-star with barch and heal spells is rushed.
If you're at BK 9, I don't think it makes sense to put off BK 10 to upgrade something else. BK10 is a big upgrade and you're right there. Go for it now if you can get it.
There is no argument. I dont even know what Culdy was getting at. However, the thing about Doc is that while you can three star it, he probably wont have any resources worth taking. When he logs out after 12 hours of attacking, he will dump all resources into walls or upgrades leaving nothing. Then he starts all over again. But he is definitely rushed. He is the anomaly like Ash where it wont hurt him when attacked
He has the punching power of a TH10 and only counts as a TH8 or thereabouts in war rankings. That's not rushed in the war context at least.
What's the point? If you had an entire clan of docs, you get matched up with a bunch of mostly TH8s and everything ends in draws because you can 3 star all of them but you are all easily 3 starred as well. Seems weird.
TH9s had issue without infernos 3 starring him. I'm gonna bet it's gonna take a TH10 to do it now.
Where have I backed off walls? Here's my mantra as of 2/3/15Totally agree. If you're not playing the game all the time, you're going to get rolled a ton if your defenses aren't upgraded enough and you'll never generate enough resources to make the massive upgrades.The answer is right here.

It's hilarious, because a month ago, culd was adamant that walls had been neglected way too much and it was a huge downfall. So everyone in FBGs spent a bunch of time upgrading walls. Now that the walls are upgraded, they don't matter, lol.
Yeah, at the ends stage of TH10' of course Heroes are the big difference maker. Because everything else has already been taken care of. It's not like you guys are getting wrecked by a bunch of 1 cannon TH10s with Max Heroes.
The problem for FBGs isn't that you guys upgraded defenses and barbs and the like earlier, it's that a ton of you guys neglected Hero upgrades at lower levels. There's constantly been these "strategies" to "just ignore walls" or "just do these defensive upgrades" and push the TH button as fast as you can. Then a few months later people are stressed out because either raiding to get enough resources is extremely hard, it's hard to even keep resources, or they're getting killed in wars because they neglected a defense or walls or Heroes.
There are a TON of lab upgrades at TH8. If you don't upgrade your barbs, archers and Giants, good luck raiding at TH9. If you don'tt upgrade your dragons, good luck being useful in war for several months. If you don't upgrade your spells, good luck in both raiding and wars. If you don't start some of those DE upgrades at TH8, good luck grinding for it at TH9 with weaker defenses, tougher opponents and weaker troops.
The reality is that the game changes as you advance. Troops become more important, and then less important and other troops become more important. That also means that certain defenses become more and less important as you advance. If you neglect something because it isn't important at the moment, you run into the problems FBGs has run into multiple times when you find out it's important later. Or, if you ignore it now because someone tells you it's not important 2 TH levels from now, you may find yourself struggling to even advance those TH levels because that stuff IS important now.
Stop rushing through the game. Enjoy it and spend time figuring out how to best win as you go instead of constantly trying to game the system.
You've just described a rushed base - a TH10 on a TH8 level. Whether or not it helps in war is immaterial.
Agree. hog4 = 12 days, golem2 = 10 days. You won't be able to research TH9 troops until after that anyway.. might as well hunt the DE for them as a strong TH8 rather than a TH9 with a TH8 army.
As Culdeus said, you are working off a different definition of rushed. On a clan level, we only care if a base is rushed in the sense that they register as a strong war base but dont have the offensive firepower to match. You seem to be saying anyone who upgrades the TH without maxed out defenses is rushing. Thats fine, but I couldn't care less if others in my clan are doing that as long as they can punch at their TH level. The only person they arguably hurt is themselves in that scenario in that they will have a tougher time holding onto loot. So when we say someone's base is "rushed" in a perjorative sense we are referring to the war centric definition.
I see this thinking a lot, but it's flawed. Everyone can't get 6.culdeus said:
I think we are to the point where our top 20 are expected to be able to 3 star any TH9. All of them.
A TH10 with Level 4 aid defenses and mortars - not to mention his below average heroes, spells, and dragons - is rushed 100% of the time. You're just okay with this kind of rushed because it both helps you get stars and aids - a tad - with matchmaking.thecatch said:
Yeah, we do now. The normal mix we get are
3 ways TH9 can be 3 starred imo - With both heroes.
I've been at masters 3 using 1 hound 28 balloons 25 minions and cc minions. 3 Rage one zap. But like to only use one rage.
Need to be at M3/CR1 to effectively farm DE with loonian. Otherwise you just next forever. You can certainly do it at any trophy level, it's just a matter of how much nexting you can tolerate.
At TH8 I used 24 loons, 24 minions, the rest archer with 3 zaps. Testing cc for troops is important.
Your nexting used to only keep you within about +/-200 trophies. The latest update spread this out a bit, to perhaps as much as 400. This has had the effect of lowering the cups you lose on snipes, though this wasn't necessarily their intention.
