Join a clan that has a support system in place to help you grow. You may need more gold invested in allies. How much do you currently have invested? You need probably 2 bil at least invested in allies at your current level. The more expensive your allies, the more $ you make per hit.
Focus on LC (Low Land Complete) right now. Build at least 1 guild to lvl 3 for increased plunder. Right now your goal is just to get LC. Right before you go LC start deciding what build you want. Hansel, ATK, Turtle, Spy, exc. If you have to ask this on Forums you in the wrong clan. Jump to another clan, one that will help you grow and guide you in the right direction. Keep up the good work though. Starting out new is the hardest part. It gets better.
