Swamp Fox Clash of Clans guide to upgrading:

Note: rushing can be very detrimental to your clan.Do not rush or you will regret it and you will hate the game.

First thing you will want to prioritize in upgrading defensively is your splash defenses because they hit multiple targets at once. You need to upgrade your splash damage weapons first. By this I mean weapons that do damage to multiple troops at one time. These weapons include your mortars and your wizard towers.
Why upgrade these first? Because they can single handily win you a defense against an attacker. Like I mentioned above, they can destroy multiple enemy troops at once making them an awesome defensive weapon.Next upgrading your defense weapons that can attack both air and ground troops is a good idea. These weapons would be your archer towers and your teslas.

You upgrade your splash weapons first, and then other defense items. Keep the upgrades going in line. Do not upgrade wizard towers twice to any other. Also, keep upgrading until you are told you need to upgrade town hall. At this point you upgrade your castle, then your walls until walls are maxed. You also want to upgrade troops until your laboratory tells you that you can not upgrade anymore. When all items are maxed, including walls, then you upgrade town hall and move forward.

The wizard tower is overall a more important defensive building because it does damage to ground and air units.

 This helps when getting attacked by minions and in some cases even balloons because they sometimes all bunch up near defenses. Wizard towers also do more damage per second. Yes, the strength of the mortar is that since its wait time to fire is so high it'll tear out all tier 1 units in one strike, but it being slow also causes it to miss sometimes because troops run. A wizard tower shoots faster and can at least make a troop weaker for a point defense to take out. Wizard towers can really do quick damage to any goblins, minions, barbs and archers eating at your storage's.

Air defenses are next on the list of importance.  you don't want to be vulnerable to air raids. If you have low level air defenses, you're going to be getting hit by balloon-minion and dragon based raids at higher levels of game play, and healer-giant raids at lower levels.

ATTACKING and EXPENSE

Being in war is expensive. That is the worse part of all - the expense. However, You have to OPT IN to be in war, thereby -- why are you complaining?
War although  is fun, it is entertainment and it keeps you busy and you would not have joined had you not liked it. In fact, you would not have stayed had you not liked it.
However, the ones who continue to be stingy during war and settle for one star because of their choice of cheap troops are only hurting the entire clan and it will not be tolerated any longer.
The ones of you who choose to be lazy and do not attack during first 12 hours of war are also hurting the entire clan, especially if you are capable of three starring your mirror and choose to wait until the final hour when cleanup only offers one star per attack. Not good for you, not good for the clan.

Henceforth, everyone must use a troop combination that they know for sure will three star an opponent. If your strong troops still does not improve your star tally then you need to upgrade troops or upgrade your strategy.  It is understandable that not all war bases can be three starred but there are times that it is very obvious that you are using archers and barbarians because you are too cheap to use good troops. You actually act as though the loot is coming out of your physical pocket and that it is hurting your bank account. WAKE UP! the loot is free and comes with time. Time is your only expense. Why do your best? Because the better we do, the higher levels we achieve and with that come special bonuses and perks, yes PERKS!

IF YOU OPT IN FOR WAR please give it your best shot.

Creating a better war base

Creating a better war base

There are many, many posts out there on creating a war base. There are some for zero stars, anti-three star, etc. ; and some downplay the hybrid bases - which is a base that can be used as both a village base and a war base.
   Plain and simple, its all the same, the point, the main focal point is to prevent the enemy from destroying your base. In war , the less stars the enemy scores against you the better off you are and the better off your clan stands in the war.

The first place to start is with the war castle. I have seen people put their's all the way to one end and that is so bad in a war base. All Swamp Fox Clan members are to keep their war castles in the very center of the war village. Placing it in the center helps prevent luring. Place your castle in such a way that when you click on it the circle (protection area) stays within the war village walls. This is a great preventive against luring. The enemy will waste time trying to lure and this is your best asset because the enemy will waste all this valuable time trying to lure your castle troops out and they won't leave. This is the best thing you can do towards helping your clan win the war.

The next step towards building a better war base , and village base, is to use the old proverbial building in a far corner. Place a hidden tesla  or bomb next to the building. A tesla does a better job , this is another point that creates confusion, lost troops and lost time for the enemy. So do this for your base, also.
