Clash of Clans gets very competitive as is evident from town hall 8 max levels. Earlier you would move to the next town within a day or week but now It will take you months to max out your whole base.
At TH8 you will have to unlock 18 new buildings and raise the total to around 88 buildings. You will need to upgrade 75 buildings to max out town hall 8 base.
By this time clashers would use terms like town hall 8.5 which will denote that a base is now 50% upgraded to max levels.
What is the max level for Town Hall 8?
The max level of town hall 8 will be reached once you upgrade all the buildings, troops, heroes, and even the often neglected walls.
The only good thing about TH8 and onwards is that now you do need to unlock new army buildings. The buildings you have at TH8 would stay at the same number. All you have to do is max these out to their respective levels.
Another cool thing is that now you have a considerable size of army which will give you a good clan war weight. This means you can now expect to score stars in clan war leagues.
You don’t have to depend on resource buildings to produce gold, elixir, or dark elixir so that you can max out your base. Now you have to hunt for resources.
Your defense will also get a bit stronger against different strategies like a mass dragon and giant healer combo.
Your traps too can help you with a secure base design.
UPDATE: A New building Blacksmith is unlocked at TH8. This building was introduced in the December 2023 patch update.
You can upgrade your Blacksmith to unlock new Hero abilities.
