Clash of Clans - Week 3-6

I haven't done very well in posting my week to week progress, but here is screenshots over the last 4 weeks.

Town Hall 5 base and design 

 Start of Town Hall 6

Profile update 

First time I saw this.  When you are getting attacked, the lady says you can't enter your base. 

First time I maxed out my gold to 1M. 

"Barching" FTW.  This is a raid composition of Barbarians and Archers getting loot.  This is the easiest way to raid because of the gains vs the expense.  You can keep your trophies up and get 50% on most bases.

 I'm done at Town Hall 6 researching in the Laboratory.

Right before Town Hall 7, my final moments at Town Hall 6.

 I just barely hit Town Hall 7.

Clash of Clans - Week 2 Progress

These are screenies from my week 2 in Clash of Clans.  I have a TownHall Level 5 and am working on upgrading my base.  I learned this week that "Obstacles" (trees, mushrooms, etc.) grow back like every 8 hours.  The stones, rocks and such are only removed once.

Attack strategy is pretty much Archers, Goblins, and Barbarians.  I wait til I need resources or a few hours earlier.  I attack easy bases that are stacked for 100-200k in resources.  Gold is easy to spend, walls and other defenses.  Elixir doesn't seem to have easy ways of spending it.  You can store it in the Barracks using Wall Breakers when your Army Camps are full.  With my 3 barracks this saves appx 100k Elixir in Troop Queuing.

Clash of Clans - 1 Week in Results

This is my Base Layout.  It is Townhall Level 4.  I have all buildings and walls built.  I keep on leveling them.  One thing that I notice is that you can get a lot of resources and have both of your builders stuck on long projects.  Seems to be a good game...but the day plus build times are a drag and we're not even half way there.

Here are a couple results of some good raids.  I have done good raids and bad raids.  These capture the low count of troops and a good pull of resources.

From those raids, here is my Achievements showing the amount of Gold and Elixir I've pulled in after the first week.  A little over 800k Gold and more than 700k Elixir.  Best strategy, that I've seen so far, is to just find another player that has been AFK and hope for a weak base.  I don't even have Air Ballons, yet, I'm upgrading by Barracks for that now.
