sartre 159 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 You can quit quoting that post. It was before the matchmake update, or at least close enough to it that matchmaking had not been solved yet.I think cliff has come around on this, everyone has that follows the people that do this hardcore. All you have to do is look at the latest matchups to know how absurd it is to think they factor TH at all. They quit doing that in the update, prior to the update it seemed like they did try to look at TH first. War matchmaking is solved. 100% Period. If you have a specific question on it ask. It's all out in the open. TH is not a factor whatsoever. The game does not try, nor does it even look at TH when deciding a matchup. It gives you a war weight and tries to keep the matchups within roughly 10% of eachother all the way down the map. After 20 minutes it expands the search by some amount, most say 5% at a time each direction, most likely. There is nothing about xbow/inferno that were overblown. They have weight, alot of weight. The question is would you rather bring that weight to the war and find someone else with the same weight across from you, or would you rather have your entire clan face easier matchups by not doing so. Xbow/Infernos are the fastest way to bring tougher opponents, walls now seem to matter a hell of a lot more than they use to (which was basically 0) so that's become a sort of defacto tie between a Max TH9 with great walls and a rushed TH10 with #### walls. Just look at Zub and Clayton for example. They are less than one archer tower level from eachother. Then go compare their walls. It the current system stupid, yes. Really dumb. They should factor TH more, they should count walls less, and they should balance out the weight of xbows and count heroes more. But they won't, because they are lazy.

culdeus 7,435 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 A full max TH10 rings in around 24000Full max TH9 rings in around 18000Full Max TH8 rings in at around 14000That's walls, spells, troops, everything.Most of the war weight FAQs out there use gold storage. I like elixer storage because everyone maxes out elixer storage first. There's nothing at TH9 that requires 8MM gold so people don't always upgrade it. You need full elixer fairly soon in TH9 for the big labs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The offensive capability is awesome and th10 has been super fun. As an air guy, L3 hounds and the extra spell really increased my war contribution.That said, the elixir grind was miserable.

I'm pretty much maxed out at th9 though (except heroes and walls).Thoughts on the th10 upgrade?That's a pretty big except though.Just starting the hero grind at th9 so I'm not in the same bhote as you guys (hero's BK 10/AQ 14). Plan is to get to 20/20 when I suspect I'll feel like you and be ready to push the button. I'm hoping that by then I will have gotten better at th9 because the biggest detractor I have to going to th10 is I suck at attacking th9. When it becomes a routine 2 star against th9 is when I think it's a good time to punch the button rather than basing it on a milestone event. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm kinda happy at th9. I'm pretty much maxed out at th9 though (except heroes and walls).Thoughts on the th10 upgrade?I was exactly the same a few months ago. Completely comfortable as near max TH9 developing heroes and walls. It's nice being over the grind, and I wasn't eager to start the next one. On the other hand, the allure of L3 hounds / freeze spells / additional 25 troop space was always there in the back of my mind.Ultimately I hit the button when I realized my lab was about to be idle. I simply couldn't have that. My heroes were AQ25/BK20. The TH10 grind wasn't as excrutiating as I remember early TH9 being. It did take 3 months, I think, to get through all the important elixir upgrades, but the build/lab times are so long that there isn't a ton of pressure to keep them all going.

culdeus 7,435 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I think with the wall weight change if serious about war you make the jump at 20/20. If not serious about war then 30/30. Getting DE is a little easier than it used to be (SuperQueen and single player matchmaking rules) and protecting DE is a little easier than it used to be at TH9 (rules again), but you then have to deal with all the extra gold/elix and if you don't put that in walls then you just have to give it away, which is sort of pointless.

Funny I had this brief chat with Clayton the other day, he intended to go to 30/30 but we realized he'd probably max his walls first. In which case, what do you do? It would be a lot tougher holding onto the DE needed for L20+ heroes when your gold and elixir storages are also perpetually maxed. The other option is to burn the G + E by dumping troops and buying/deleting flags and statues. That would get annoying real fast, I imagine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
