@DrPike, how did the shield update help you upgrade your king? Seem unrelated.

I'm TH9, upgrading walls to level 10 costs 3 million each. If I get to 2 million in my storage and I get raided, that takes 300K away, but in 12 hours, you can only mine about 240-something K. So at that point there is no way to make progress unless you're actively raiding.

Sure, I can drop trophies to go down to 500 or whatever, but then when I do decide to raid, it is almost impossible to get a base that is worth attacking, and the raid bonus is almost nothing.
