COC: Road to Town Hall 8! Part 1: The Days before and humble beginnings (Day uh... 8?)

Alrighty some explaining to do
I got fucking busy with alot of stuff, hence why i couldnt finish the last days of Road to TH7, so im quickly going to explain what happened.
Upgraded all walls to max. Got Air Defenses to max level too. Got a book of building, and used it on the Town Hall. GG.

My journey began on April 21st. Heres my town hall on that day.

I called one side "The Poor side" due to the walls, and mediocre level 1 defenses. The other side is the "Rich" or "Cool dood" side due to the better defenses. No king at that moment...
Until i got the Town Hall value pack.
Goddamn i got ripped off. The description of the pack said it gave a Lvl 3 Tesla, but it was Lvl 1. What a rip-off. However the King, Dark (or DANK elixir as i will call it from here on) Elixir and Gold made up for it. Guess the pack was much pricier before but got "nerfed".

Alrighty, so with Gold flowing thru my pockets, and a King on my side, i decided to dump alot of Gold into walls. Most of them got to Lvl 6, with a few still at Lvl 5. With grinding and farming i managed to get all the Walls to Lvl 6, and put one of my builders to upgrade the King to Lvl 3. Really great start.

Along the way i upgraded the new defensive structures to better levels. Heres a tip: Always upgrade newer buildings 1st. They provide quick dmg boosts and help to keep your village more protected than upgrading old buildings, plus its cheaper!

May i talk about how good it feels to have a new army camp? God having about 200 troops to use is great. Anyways as soon as i began TH7 i started the Lab upgrade and started to upgrade the new Army Camp and Barracks.


Anyways lets move on to today. You are about to see a way different village right now.

Jesus this looks WAY different. Lemme explain.
I had troubles thinking of a good TH7 village and base design. I wanted to protect my Gold and Elixir, but also was worried of protecting my Dank Elixir. In the end, i felt getting Dank Elixir protected was better, and thus this design stuck.
I love how the flags can fit inside the Dank Elixir compartment. It looks really good.
Starting to get Lvl 7 walls. 200k for each is a steep price, but its nothing compared to later THs (trust me you will be surprised how much these damn things cost later on). Will probably not get all of them to Lvl 7, and might get half or 3/4 of them to Lvl 7, and keep the others at Lvl 6. Idk. We will see how that goes.

Also yes, i dropped in trophies. Getting loot is harder when you are higher in trophies, so im staying at around 1200-1300 trophies.

SO... Now what.
Well im gonna continue researching, and upgrading Army Camps and Barracks. Will also upgrade defenses and Teslas (GOD I HATE UPGRADING TESLAS but its worth it). Will upgrade the King whenever possible.
Also its technically my 8th day of TH7, so im just gonna continue from Day 8 and continue from here. Ok?
Cant wait to continue with you all :)
