Town Hall 4 - Upgrade Order And Example Bases









Introduction :

Town Hall 4 is a very quick level in Clash of Clans if you upgrade effectively
Most players have two builders (unless a player buys gems or spends a lot of time town hall sniping for the 1250 trophy achievement). Two builders is all that is needed at this town hall level, as two builders can max out most buildings by the time new research finishes.
  

Your First Priority For Upgrades :

Builder 1 :

1st.) Upgrade Laboratory 
The first priority as soon as you reach town hall 4 is to start upgrading the laboratory. By starting the laboratory early, you can start on the research earlier. 

 2nd.) Upgrade Storage Structures
Upgrade your storage structures (Gold and Elixir Storage) early on, the reason for this is to increase the maximum amount of resources you can hold so that you can farm up to the resource cap while builders are busy working. By upgrading storage structures early, you will significantly increase your ability to upgrade your walls in a timely fashion.

When a builder becomes free, you can then spend any excess resources on wall upgrades before starting the next upgrade


Builder 2 :

1st) Place Walls
 First, this builder should build all the new walls and spend excess resources upgrading these walls.

 2nd) Create Barracks
Then build a new barracks 
 
3rd) Upgrade Barracks
 Upgrade it to level two.

4th.) New Archer Tower
 Then start building the new Archer Tower unlocked at level 4.

 5th) Adjust New Base
  Rearrange your base to a town hall 4 farming defensive base.

6th) Upgrade Army Camps
 Start upgrading each army camp to its new maximum level.




Your Second Priority For Upgrades :

After finishing your first priority upgrades(which takes a little less than a day), it is time to start working on these secondary upgrades. It only takes a day or so to complete the first two tasks, at which point you can start upgrading to town hall 5.

 1st.) Upgrade the Clan Castle
Upgrade the clan castle. Increasing the capacity of this structure from 10 to 15 units can boost your strength noticeably, particularly if you are in a clan where higher level players can donate to you.

2nd. ) Build the air defense tower
 and upgrade all towers to your new maximum level
Upgrade all towers to their maximum level allowed at town hall 4. 
The longest upgrade here is the air defense tower, which takes a full day to upgrade to level 2.
 Upgrading the rest of the towers to their new maximum only takes around a day, so one builder can focus on the air defense tower while the other builder can focus on the cannons, archer towers, and mortar.

3rd.) Use one builder to start town hall 5 and use second builder to upgrade barracks
Max out your defensive towers, then start upgrading towards town hall 5. It takes a full 2 days for town hall 5 to complete, so start this upgrade before fully upgrading everything. 
Use the free builder to upgrade your 3 Barracks to their new max level.

4th.) Build and upgrade mines & collectors
If you finish upgrading the Barracks to their maximum level before the town hall 5 upgrade finishes, you can put your free builder(s) to work by building and upgrading gold mines and elixir collectors. 
Do not worry about maxing these out before reaching town hall 5. Most of your resources at this level will not come from collectors and mines but rather from farming.
 It is not worth delaying the town hall 5 upgrade in order to max out these collectors.

Advice on walls :
Walls should be upgraded throughout this process. Try to farm excess resources while your builders are occupied. When a builder becomes free, you can use these extra resources to upgrade walls before starting the next upgrade.
