However, if you are in desperate need of gold boosting is definitely the way to go over filling your storages. Here are the stats: For one day of boosting your level…
First thing I have to tell you is sub-200 farming IS NOT worth it. There is actually very little loot down there since it is mostly just newbies. Every 1 in 25 will be an advanced base but these bases rarely have collector raids and are usually better than most people can take out. Contrary…

They will be cutting the game 3 times as listed below- -Saturday at 05:45am UTC (1:45 am Eastern US) -Sunday at 05:45am UTC -Tuesday at 05:45am UTC…
STL here. Everyone usually agrees that the mortar is the most important defensive unit, but I have to disagree.

Town Hall 9 is one of the most important THs to know what to do first on. If not you could end up looking really bad, not to mention being able to be beat really easily. You should have at least 3 builders, if not I would recommend starting over your game. 3 builders: Obviously,…
