What levels should I be at before upgrading my TH to 4? I only have enough walls to encircle my th and some storage tanks and canons.

I run a base very similar to this: http://www.clashofclans-tools.com/Layout-30569I've only been completely destroyed once, every other attempt has lead the attacker to take massive losses, and they just take what I have in my collectors, but it's never been cost-effective for them. I upgraded every single thing before upgrading to TH4. I saved a couple things for when the TH was in the process of upgrading since it takes 24hr, but they were completed before the TH was.

Unless you're making a trophy push, there's really no need to keep your TH within your walls. It wastes valuable space plus when your TH gets killed you get a free shield.

spent about an hour getting down to sub 200. Got down to about 114, had to change out my laundry and was attacked 12 times to get me back in the 350 range. FML.

Am I the only one that takes my iPad with me to the laundry room, bathroom, etc. to avoid this?

The bathroom is where I do my best work.

if my legs wouldnt goto sleep id be in there all day

Do i need my eventual clan castle hidden behind walls? When should I unlock that thing? it's surrounded by pesky trees and rocks right now.

When you have it and join a clan, you can request others to fill it with troops. They will come out and defend your base when enemies get a certain distance from it.

It can be useful to put in the middle of your base so the troops in it are harder to trigger and lead away from your buildings where they can be easily slaughtered. Though even in the middle of a base, it's still pretty easy to do.

So it's not a must, but I think most of us put it in the middle most of the time. Especially at higher levels when we stock them with a dragon (which requires the castle be upgraded a few levels until it will hold 20 space of units).

Edit to add: I'd unlock it soon as you can and join one of the FBG clans. People can be giving you higher level troops that will defend you if offline, or that you can deploy when attacking. A couple of hogriders or high level giants do wonders when you're lower level.

How often should I be expecting to get attacked? If I go out of the country for a week and can only get on Wifi when I'm in my hotel room am I completely screwed?

Unlock it asap so we can send u uber troops.

You'll be fine. Put your TH off in a corner and you'll likely get free shields for most of the time. Even if you get 3-starred (100% destroyed) you only lose a percentage of your resources. It's not like losing some gold is going to set you back weeks and weeks.

Exactly. The good thing about this game is the only thing you'll lose if you disappear for a period of time is gold or elxir and those can be regained with time.

$2 million gold/1.5 elixir and no builders available for 24 hours.

This.

Nothing like having fully loaded gold/elixir banks and having someone attack you with 10 archers just to take out your totally exposed town hall, then quitting, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight before you're going to bed. 12 hour shield. no $ lost.

 

[CowboysFromHell]

Clan wars are coming! Finally! Could be a game changer. We'll have to wait and see the details of exactly how they're going to implement it, but hopefully it will be a fun, new twist, especially for those of us who have been playing for a long time.

 

[beer 302]

Along with the Clan Wars message today, all resources (gold & elixir) get boosted for the day for 1 gem each, pretty sweet deal if you are like me and maxed at gold but have nothing in elixir.

This exact thing happened to me. I went to bed with over 1 million elix but not much gold. Figured I would lose some of it. The first attack got my th and I was shielded. Im at 136 trophies so I dont even need to go through the dropping again. Thanks for the shield

The Clan Wars thing could blow the sub-200 thing to smithereens.

not much info has been released, just a little video that really didn't tell you anything

im assuming a clan leader can challenge another clan within a certain trophy range. im guessing you will to attack random members of that clan. maybe there is a special bonus for winning a battle in clan wars

 

[freakinback]

Do we want to grow the clan from 25 members for clan wars? I wonder if clan on clan action will be based on trophy count. If that is the case, it may be better to have a smaller member count.

 

[CowboysFromHell]

It could have a big impact on farming in general.

 

[BigJohn]

For anyone who hasn't seen the video.

Love their commercials.

From reading the supercell forums, it sounds like you have a chance to redesign your base between the time when a clan war is declared and the clan war starts. It also sort of sounds like they might be saved separately.

You win the war by having more stars than the other clan by the end of the clan war.

Matchmaking done on base strength (whatever that means), not trophies.

It looks like leaders/co-leaders can declare a war, so we might want to not give those roles out to everyone

An interesting quote:

Yes an equivalent number of players on either side participate. It's a 2 day process - one day to prepare one day for war, everyone gets two attacks and two defences, you cannot attack the same person twice. Choosing WHO in your clan attacks who is going to be key to win the war.

So we have a nice means to organize through this thread, which should be a nice advantage.

This sounds cool but seems like we need to be selective. I can picture people jumping from one clan to another to help out.

There is talk about a cool down between fighting in wars, and I am guessing they will have a way to prevent these sort of shenanigans.

Anyone know how long the offer will last? I know you get 1 day of boost for the gem, but is the 1 gem deal only today?

It also looks like donating works differently during a war, but I can't seem to find any details on that. Might have to wait to see.

Exhibit #1 to have all your collectors upgraded to the max.

And if you spend all of your resources right before leaving, then at worst you only lose what your collectors farmed while you were on your trip.

Should try to spend resources before logging out whenever possible anyway. Though sometimes you can't help it, saving up for a high priced upgrade.

BTW, I vote for Greg R to be our clan war leader

 

[GroveDiesel]

Seconded.

Seems like everyone would want to have as few defensive upgrades going as possible during a clan war.

As for troop donations, I bet they'll cap how many troops each person can donate during a clan war. That way you can't just have a few top guys supplying everyone with awesome clan troops.

When I think of war leaders gob rushers of sub 200 is what I want. ;-)

I was reading somewhere that clan castle troops would auto replenish after a clan war raid

I hope so. I'll need all of it to fund my TH7 buildings.

 

[EYLive]

I'm interested in knowing how they determine base strength. Clan average TH level? Average league placement level?

It also sounds like having fewer members will not hurt a clan since there's a limit to attacks and defenses.

I'm excited!!

So glad I upgraded everything (except collectors and air defense).

 

[igbomb]

We may actually need to start paying attention to whether we have inactive members if we want to wage some real wars.

thanks for the heads up on the boost, this is awesome

If you boost it's for 24 hours right now but I don't know how long the deal lasts, thought I read it was only available today. If you click on the boosted resource it tells you how much time you have left.

If less competitive players hurts us, I'll take my boys out of the clan.

Why does he only asks for wizards. Does he run in with 80 wizards in a battle. That would be awesome

Heh, thanks, though I probably get more enjoyment seeing my base improve than I do raiding. Not that raiding sucks, but the clan war thing probably has less excitement for me than it will for most.

Our current clan leader has done a great job keeping up with everyone joining and all, should do great. I'll still try to pull my own weight when the blood starts flying of course.
