So what are the best ways to level up in the beginning stages?

---

Everyone has different strategies....
I believe in leveling up storages/makers because at early levels you can steal a good bit and need a place to store it. Once you get to the 500-750k storages I can focus solely on walls/other defense.

Now I am not saying totally neglect your defense but you don't need to max it out while only being able to hold 50k in storage either. Finding a balance is key, and I try to keep storages 1 level ahead of what I will need for my defense.

So if I have a level 2 cannon I will have at least a level 4 storage, then I can upgrade my cannon to 3 and then storage again. Just to give you an idea.

do any of you bother to wait until the shield is expired before attacking?

wait till shield is almost done, usually less than 30 minutes left so I can milk my storages and give my builders more time. I also try and time my builders and shield. So if something takes 12 hours I will go attack a few times get my gold then start building and log off. So when I get back on in 11 hours or so I have a new builder and a new toy/defense.
