EZE'S GUIDE TO THE GOLD STORAGE

       Gold Storages are the resource buildings where you keep all of your hard earned Gold. It's a very high Hit Point building designed to make it difficult for invaders to raid your village and wipe out the stockpile of gold that you have worked so hard to collect in just a couple of swings of the sword. In addition to being such high HP buildings there are several of them for you to separate and guard closely.

​

       There are actually 2 separate functions that your Storage Buildings will provide for you. Yes TWO! 1st is the obvious. Keep the Gold in a tough building. This is done in your village and to help guard the Gold you would want to design your base in a way as to make it hard to get a lot of gold with minimal effort that we will go over more in just a minute. 2nd is on your War Base. In the Clan War setting the Gold Storages are full of Gold but it's not counted as your Gold its counted as the Clan War Gold. What does this mean? It means as players destroy the Gold Storages in war the total does not subtract from your stockpiles of Gold but from the War Bases. The amount of Gold stored in your Gold Storages during a war is calculates according on your Base Weight. The bigger base you have the more Gold is available to your opponent during his/ her war raid but again it does not come from your hard earned stockpile of Gold.

​

       Due to the fact that the Gold won by your opponent during war is not going to come out of your Gold players have done something rather brilliant during wars Instead of protecting the Storages from attacks (like you do in you village) they use the high HP storages as shields and place high priority defenses behind them for the most protection. They force

troops (other than defense only troops) to push their

way through the hefty Storage Buildings before they

reach the defensive building and eliminate it! This is why

so many people ask the question "why do I attack so well

in the multi player arena but have such a hard time in

war?" its not just because the suck.. lol.. but because

they have to fight against bases designed specifically for

war that utilize storages as shielding mechanisms.

​

       Going back to placing Gold Storages in the village.. i'm going to suggest not insist because there are so many tricks to setting up your village. 1st suggestion is to split up your Gold storages as best as you can. try to picture your base as having 4 parts no matter what the design. place a Gold Storage in each of these 4 parts to insure attackers cans rush into your base and take 20% of the base yet take 100% of the Gold! 2nd keep your storage buildings away from the edge or from outside the walls altogether. 3rd don't place all of the Storages in the core thinking that's the safest place because if they make it to the core then they get to take everything! The best way to keep your resources safe is to split them up, keep them away from the edge of the base and surround them with your defenses in a way that the defenses protect the storage but if the attacker gets through the 1st line of defenses they will continue to take damage as they are trying to get the Gold. 

​

       Upgrading your Storages are vital to the upgrading

process and should be a high priority. The game is

designed for the new upgrades at every level to be more

expensive than the last levels storages could hold so be

sure you get those storages upgraded right away! The worst

thing you can do is collect a ton of resources for an upgrade and not be able to start the upgrade because you do not have enough storage space because you will be forced to upgrade the storage while holding the resources for the original upgrade. That makes you a more desirable target. You want to be an undesirable target for people to raid and for most everyone to skip over you to the next village that has heaps of resources just waiting to be plundered!
