Intro

Welcome to my Clash of Clans blog.  Hopefully you will find this content interesting as you join me on my journey with the game.  My aim here is to share the key tips and lessons learnt along the way as well as highlighting any particular strategies that I am using as part of the game.

I will try to focus this blog on interesting, entertaining and relevant content for Clash of Clans fans.  Therefore, rather than relying on the standard You Tube strategies, I plan to share my real time progress with all the successes and failures along the way.  This will hopefully be different from the normal CoC content that seems to show nothing but 3 star wins in every attack.

As background, I have been playing for about a year and am currently at Town Hall 11 in the Main Village.  The Builder Village is at TH9 and I am working towards the infamous sixth builder.  To that end, I have already geared up three defenses in the Main Village and am now upgrading the cannon carts to level 18.

In the Main Village, I am close to maxing out all the defenses.  The plan is to complete these before upgrading to TH12.  I will leave the traps for now and come back to those after the Town Hall is upgraded.  My Archer Queen is currently at level 50, the Barbarian King is level 39 and the Grand Warden is at level 20.  As the Queen and Grand Warden are maxed out for this TH level, the focus is now on the Barbarian King.  I'll address hero upgrade strategy in a later post.

I have 5 active builders in the Main Village although the strategy for these varies as the TH upgrades progress for each level, more on that later.  For now, I have 5 active builders.  Two are upgrading cannons from level 14 to 15, one is upgrading the last wizard tower from level 9 to 10 and two are upgrading archer towers from level 14 to 15.  In the lab, I am upgrading hog riders from level 6 to 7.

In the builder village, I am upgrading the mega tesla from level 3 to 4.  This is part of the steps to acquire the sixth builder (mega tesla to level 9).  In the Builder Base lab I am upgrading the cannon carts to level 18 as mentioned above.  The next upgrades planned for this village will be focused on getting both elixir collectors to level 9 (currently level 8).  These upgrades will be vital in order to get the battle machine to level 30 (the last step for the sixth builder) as it's currently at level 20.  

That about covers it for this first post.  More to come soon as the upgrades complete and the raid weekend starts.
