Upgrade to PH6 with just 2 lvl7 gold storage??

I just browsed thru to get some good build idea and found an island which currently upgrading process to PH6 (which required 2 mil gold) with just 2 lvl7 gold storage (combine capacity 800k gold) in his island. How is it even possible??!! Just view for yourself in-game.

Am I missing something? Please advice.

 

Never trust @The Fish Eyed Pirate. He's a sneaky one.

 

1 word: gem

 

Lol well yea you can make it with only 2 for a while. It is actually very smart since u don't have to protect so many storages. I might skip building a third grog and gold storage when i hit PH5, which is in 1h 20min hypeeee

 

Well, if it's gem then needless to say. And I thought that even with gem you can't exceed your storage capacity. Then I might save up some gem for upgrading PH instead of building gold storage.

 

Whats up guys! I shall explain myself.
Yes indeed I used gems to upgrade my PH.
My capacity is 801.500 gold. And the rest is payed with gems.
Exactly for the reasons @Edward Kenway said. (thank you for calling me smart )

 

did someone say salt water??

seriously though that is very smart. How much did it cost to upgrade to 6 with the gems?

 

As I said before, my wallet is not amused. I think it cost me about 800-900 gems. It is allmost finished now, just two days lef

 

Ok, and that will give you extra defenses and stuff?

 

Yeah I believe one extra cannon, a guntower, 25 walls and the stun-mortar

 

that is sick. And you only have to defense 2 of every resource storage. It's almost like you are PH5 but with extra defenses and walls.

 

Yeah, only if I want to upgrade say my tavern or academy etc then i'm in trouble. So I'm going to build them soon anyway

 

I might do this too. I will have to think about it. 800-900 gems is not that much though.

 

It's do-able and saves you a lot of time and being raided because-you-got-this-huge-stack-of-cash

 

yeah true. And on the other side you get better defenses quicker, which makes it a lot harder for people trying to steal

 

what the heck. Im gonna do it. After I build my tavern and upgrade some of my defenses (just got to TH5 2hours ago) I will upgrade the Town Hall again, same as you.

 

After you upgrade it you still got nine days. So I upgraded only half of my buildings when I started upgrading my PH. And nog I am almost done upgrading everything (that I want)

 

But I think i'm gonna upgrade my storages at least one lvl. I need 900k for academy lvl 4. It's impossible if the cap is at 801k. Unless u use gems of course.

 

Oh and thank you @Alexander for using me as an example while i'm one of the most active people on this forum Had so much fun reading this
