Thats a nice Game 7 you have there. Would be a shame if somebody nailed it down.

I'm town hall 6 right now and each night when I go to bed, somebody raids me for like 100K each resources and the only upgrades I have left are like 300-500K and my walls. Should I just upgrade to TH7 or just suffer it out for a few weeks?

Use this base. http://clashofclansbuilder.com/plan/457526

People will, 4 times out of 5, just hit your Town Hall to gain like, 9-10 trophies and ~900-1000 resources. The rest of the base is fortified enough to deter most people TH6 and below, and there's really little you can do to avoid getting creamed by TH7+. Thankfully the higher TH levels will be getting less and less from you compared to others.

I found that towards the middle to end of TH6, my best attacks were done by about 60 goblins and the rest archers (~80 depending on what level your army camps are). I'd just hit next, next, next, next until I find someone out there who has all his resource collectors all grouped up and uncollected. Then I just send in the goblins, and use the archers as backup. The goblins will rape the resource buildings so fast that most defenses can't keep up with them at all (Wizard towers will though).

I've been loving around a little bit with the TH8 babby version of loonion (5* balloons, 2* minions), and I like it more than I expected. It's not hard to find a TH8-9 in gold 2 with lovely AD and a lot of resources.

Probably, but I'm pretty much just using it for practice and and to get resources, so I want to keep it as cheap/fast as possible. 16 balloons and 60 minions, and heal spells when they're available.

I've been garching for about 2 weeks now (130 Archer, 70 goblins)
2 Barracks have 33 Archers and 17 Goblins
2 Barracks have 32 Archers and 18 Goblins

Find any base with > 35k Elixir attack it and 20 minutes later you are at it again.

Garching is basically all I've done since late in TH6, and I'm closing in on the end of TH8 now. I try to shoot for at least 100k of each and it's worked pretty well. YMMV as always.

I've been doing this for about a week now and it's been insanely profitable. I'm almost to Crystal League but I have minions 4. My ratio is 24 Loons and 40 Mins and all heal spells.

60:40 archer:barb. Hit next until you find a base with 200k of each resource in the collectors/mines. Deploy barbs, then archers behind them. Barbs soak up some damage, archers stay away from a lot of hits and clean up kills. Profit.

Just watch out for mortars. I like to throw in 4-6 wall breakers to reach some stuff behind walls.

Find someone with collectors outside that are full. Use two fingers and deploy all your barbs. Switch to archers. Use two fingers and deploy all your archers.

Congrats. You've barched.

Most youtube videos for this game are super long winded. Some kid has a 10 minute video about how you can use fruit to keep the screen on whiel you're away. You literally put a piece of fruit on your phone and walk away. THE VIDEO IS 10 MINUTES LONG.

I thought you guys were kidding. FYI, Pekka-only attack isn't good. I'm guessing he sent all his Pekka's at the same spot, got them into the core where all 9 of them started hitting the 25 archers that came out of your CC. That'll keep all those Pekka's busy for 60+ seconds, which they (obviously) won't survive. Then the heroes destroyed the other 50% of your base. :v:

It's been a long strange road but I've finally managed to max PEKKA's and golems at TH9. I'd like to Gowipe (or Gowiwi with level 1 witches if you don't think that's retarded) but am unsure of what army/spell comp to use. Halp!

I'm still putting in more gold into wall upgrades than elixir. Chances are he does the same.

E: And it's not hard to pull in 1m gold and 1m elixir per hour with barching, without boosting anything whatsoever.

How many times you hit the next button is pretty much always going to overwhelm any other factors when it comes to farming for resources. Run giants or barbs, gobs or barbs, WBs or not, whatever - the one constant is that more raiding means more progress.

The worst is skipping a moderately stocked base, because :standards:, only to find that it was the highest you'll find for a while. :suicide:

You can do it with maths. I have been toying with building a calculator for it:

http://youtu.be/ZWib5olGbQ0

Basically figure out what's the longest you want to wait and call that time t. Divide t by about ~three (closer to multiplying by .37), examine all the loots you see during t/3 and track the highest. After t/3, take anything that is higher than the highest you saw in that initial t/3 time. To convert that to money or resources I need to gather some statistics on the distribution of loots seen (obviously the conversion of loot to time would only apply at a specific level of trophies)
