I've got zero chance at winning any battle with my wife's account. We'll be heading over to 2 right after this war.

Why? She'll be a TH7 before you blink and will be more than capable. I don't think anyone has issue with the low-level folks not contributing (that's part of the reason we use +5 or +10 rather than target your level).

[=Smackdown=]

Still can't believe the popularity of this game here at FBG - when I created the other thread asking "who plays" COC I had no idea it would be this big here.

Oh BTW - my clan is 5-0 since filling our Clan Castles with the Valk/Wizard/Archer combos - this is lethal for the lower level folks in our clan. Thank you to whoever passed along that info.

Hope to one day join a FBG clan but I just can't leave my son's clan at this time.

Just leveled up to 113 and deployed a 55 War Pig assault last night - 240 Army Camp + 35 in the Clan castle. Can't imagine doing anything but a Hog Rider attack in the wars.

 

[culdeus]

Well my first golem attack went off the rails in a hurry.

If you drop them close together then they will track to the same D target once there is a clear path.

Plus my CC drag out was the suck.

I think with pekkas I can start attacking over my level with gowipe fairly easily. If Fudd gets witches then a GoWiWiPe is in the cards as well.

Any room in 1 for the upcoming war or should I just stay put? Sounds like you guys are full up.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Do I need to raise one of the guys below me from 1 star to 3 or can I attack anyone?

There is talk that we might have April move over to fbg2

Inactives this war

april

nighthawk (been active in chat)

ja (always attacks late not worried)

garyx23 (been active in chat)

 

[BroadwayG]

April and I will be moving. There will be at least 2 spots open. Hopefully there is a little bit of a window tonight between the end and starting again.

As soon as you finish your attacks you can move right away.

 

[Hawks64]

So I sucked this war with my dragon raids. I mentioned this in chat, but it's time I start using full hog raids. Never done it before because dragons have been so successful.

Any tips? From what I've seen:

1) Drawing out and killing CC is critical. What kind of crew do you guys bring along to make sure you can kill the CC? BK? Wizards? Archers? How many of each?

2) Looks like mainly go with healing pots, sometimes with rage.

3) I've seen some use all the hogs in one wave, some split them out into 2-3 different groups.

Where is the ideal place to drop them?

I've got LVL2 right now, I'll start aiming to build up to upgrade to LVL3 but it's going to be a long climb.

Still trying to do major hog upgrades so I can't go hogs yet since I need the DE to upgrade. Want to get to lvl3 dragons or maybe lvl 4 in the next month or so.

If that's the case my son wants to re-join. Can we hold a spot for him until after school today? He wants to be active in wars, which is why he was booted before, he didn't think he could do much and when I showed him the war map today he realized he could be effective.

 

[VA703]

all those anti-dragon war bases these guys are using might be a reason why they have so many wins

 

[EYLive]

Has Kanil responded in game chat? What will FBG2 do?

 

[Bull Dozier]

I'll be moving to fbg2 as well after my second attack today, need to get to the one war per week schedule. Dang, there is a lot of stuff to build at TH8. I think I'll be ready to move to TH9 sometime in 2016.

Kanil/Linak -

Are you reading the thread or the chat log? I saw your comment that you didn't want to waste a slew of dragons on your target per our plan (46) so you went sky high instead (23), but couldn't pull off the three star. Then on your second attack you went even higher (16) and did even worse.

So we know you knew of the plan but completely ignored it. Several folks are advocating that you be bumped out of the clan before the next war. You're an active player so we would rather not dump you but you gotta let us know that you're back on board with the strategy going forward. Otherwise you can chase your loot somewhere else.

The next war starts tonight. Hopefully you pipe up before we have to push the button.

If you look at past history, this is the first time I've not gotten 5 or 6 stars since I started the 10 dragon attacks (I believe I was actually the first to post the "all along one edge" strategy that everyone is pimping now). I've always gone way above my rank and no one has ever said anything until the one time I only get 3 stars in a battle. If you feel the need to kick, I'll be OK but I do think it's lame.

 

[The Duff Man]

I have witches and can donate them to cc on attack if you want them.

Must need to catch me when i am on, they take a bit to build

I may try to book one for a war attack at some point.

You gotta be able to recognize when the bases are above the grade of 10 lv1 dragons, which many were trying to do for you. These guys were very well setup to stop mass dragon. Most of their bases were angular with the idea of keeping drags on the outside to get picked off.

Like I said, we'd rather not boot you. But we usually pick a first attack strategy with the intent to put it away early and then honeypot in round two. If you can sign up to sticking with the round one strategies instead of going off the reservation there shouldn't be any issue.

Also not sure why after the first attack went bad you doubled down and went sky high on the next.

Again, go look at my history. It will be hard to find a war that I don't have 5 or 6 stars. I'm normally good about that. I also see that I was not the only one that didnt do the rank+5 first attack. Are we talking about booting GregR from the clan as well? Pretty lame of you guys to bring this up the one time I don't get 5 or 6 stars when every other time I've done it all I've gotten is "GREAT JOB LINAK".

*EDIT* - Greg was just the first person I looked up, nothing against you sir.

why didnt you go +5 out of curiosity

 

[thecatch]

I'm not sure the "I've never been a team player, why are you holding it against me now" defense is particularly persuasive IMO.

I "doubled down" because I thought I could at a minimum 2 star. Note, this was an attacker that was left by someone else not using rank+5.

Also that your clan castle can only hold 400k of loot. In this war, two successful attacks on their 32-35 range would have netted you that. Your 2nd attack is perplexing from an roi standpoint, putting stars on the board, and at that time of the war.

Just something to keep an eye on next time to not out stretch yourself with an opponent when much lesser ones will fill your castle.

Normally we do +10 and I don't have a +10 so I attack the highest person I think I can 3 star. In this case, I did know it was +5 but I figured if I could take someone above me, it would leave more bases for our really low ranked people to possible star. It's the reason I do it every war.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

Alright, I need some help. Please look at my second attack tell me what did wrong in luring out the clan troops. Everythung came out except the dragon. It should have came out. Why didn't it?

It's honestly not about the war loot... the difference between 400k and 360k is a little over one dragon.

Alright, I need some help. Please look at my second attack tell me what did wrong in luring out the clan troops. Everythung came out except the dragon. It should have came out. Why didn't it?

Dragons come out last. By the time the dragon was ready to pop out your guys in the CC circle were dead or had moved over.

 

[beer 30]

Alright, I need some help. Please look at my second attack tell me what did wrong in luring out the clan troops. Everythung came out except the dragon. It should have came out. Why didn't it?

Don't know the answer but this is how they come out:

• Troops leave the castle in the following order: Barbarians, Archers, Goblins, Giants, Wall Breakers, Balloons, Wizards, Healers, Dragons, P.E.K.K.A.s, Minions, Hog Riders, Valkyries Golems, Witches. Thus it is possible to "clean" a castle used for offensive purpose from the lesser troops by dropping it and then surrendering the battle before the higher troops had time to come out of the castle.

 

[SkyRattlers]

Here's my take for both sides:

To the rest of the clan: I'm with Kanil on not following the +5 or +10 standard. It's a complete waste for me to attack someone so far below me when I can guarantee three stars from a higher opponent. I fully support anyone who wants to attack above that standard as long as they pull their weight.

To Kanil: You MUST get 3 stars if you choose to break the +5 or +10 standard. Two stars is not good enough. It just forces someone to follow behind you and attack the opponent again.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

Alright, I need some help. Please look at my second attack tell me what did wrong in luring out the clan troops. Everythung came out except the dragon. It should have came out. Why didn't it?

Dragons come out last. By the time the dragon was ready to pop out your guys in the CC circle were dead or had moved over.

But my BK and AQ were still alive as we're other troops. The dragon just never came out until I deployed hogs.

*EDIT* - Greg was just the first person I looked up, nothing against you sir.

No offense taken.

I was our 10 and 11, so 15 and 16 were my +5 bases. I hit #15, but VA our #9 felt better with his army he uses about my 16 than he did his 14, and I felt better about his 14 than I did my 16 with my hogs, so we agreed it was best to swap. So yes I didn't attack one of my +5 but it was still trying to work within the plan and maximizing our chances.

In any event, I don't think we need to pile on Linak and don't think anyone needs to be kicked. Let's put it down to a lesson learned that a close fight is not the time to be experimenting on how high we can go. And if our first attack fails, looking higher probably is the wrong move.

They weren't in the CC circle.

to the clan: Agree with Linak here, history speaks for itself. Give him a break on this one. He's been active and helpful and even yesterday it wasn't exactly a mutiny.

to Linak: at least make the effort to follow the plan. i think if you had said "i will do x" instead of saying "i will not waste my dragons" before your first attack this conversation would have been very different. Those others you say did not follow rank did exactly that, they said "i'm gonna do x" and they at least discussed it a little bit. and your second attack did look like honeypotting, but clearly you are saying it wasn't and I think most people will believe you, again, based on history.

Let this go and going forward let's try to stick to the plan and if you disagree let's discuss before Leroy Jenkin shows up.

 

[AcerFC]

Here's my take for both sides:

That is all well and good. But if we have a plan, people build an army for that particular base. When that base is no longer there, you get stuck with troops you may not have wanted. If there is a plan, follow the plan IMO.

The next war starts tonight. Hopefully you pipe up before we have to push the button.

If you look at past history, this is the first time I've not gotten 5 or 6 stars since I started the 10 dragon attacks (I believe I was actually the first to post the "all along one edge" strategy that everyone is pimping now). I've always gone way above my rank and no one has ever said anything until the one time I only get 3 stars in a battle. If you feel the need to kick, I'll be OK but I do think it's lame.

You gotta be able to recognize when the bases are above the grade of 10 lv1 dragons, which many were trying to do for you. These guys were very well setup to stop mass dragon. Most of their bases were angular with the idea of keeping drags on the outside to get picked off.

why didnt you go +5 out of curiosity

Normally we do +10 and I don't have a +10 so I attack the highest person I think I can 3 star. In this case, I did know it was +5 but I figured if I could take someone above me, it would leave more bases for our really low ranked people to possible star. It's the reason I do it every war.

I was talking to culdeus

I went more than +5 because in chat we were going back and forth on whether we were going to get our asses kicked and +10 was the better approach seeing how they came out swinging. My +10 was already gone so I tried to pick someone between 5 and 10 that was a hog base because 19/20 were iffy 3 stars for me at that point. I could have been trapped out with lv2 hogs not being able to stand up. At least that was the though process at the time.

This was also right in the middle of linak attack 1 drama.

Kanil/Linak -

Are you reading the thread or the chat log? I saw your comment that you didn't want to waste a slew of dragons on your target per our plan (46) so you went sky high instead (23), but couldn't pull off the three star. Then on your second attack you went even higher (16) and did even worse.

Also that your clan castle can only hold 400k of loot. In this war, two successful attacks on their 32-35 range would have netted you that. Your 2nd attack is perplexing from an roi standpoint, putting stars on the board, and at that time of the war.Just something to keep an eye on next time to not out stretch yourself with an opponent when much lesser ones will fill your castle.

It's honestly not about the war loot... the difference between 400k and 360k is a little over one dragon.

to the clan: Agree with Linak here, history speaks for itself. Give him a break on this one. He's been active and helpful and even yesterday it wasn't exactly a mutiny.

to Linak: at least make the effort to follow the plan. i think if you had said "i will do x" instead of saying "i will not waste my dragons" before your first attack this conversation would have been very different. Those others you say did not follow rank did exactly that, they said "i'm gonna do x" and they at least discussed it a little bit. and your second attack did look like honeypotting, but clearly you are saying it wasn't and I think most people will believe you, again, based on history.

Let this go and going forward let's try to stick to the plan and if you disagree let's discuss before Leroy Jenkin shows up.

Thanks for explaining. Yeah, I just say let's stick with the plan or clear it if you intend to deviate. It can cause a Domino effect issue for everyone else.

Then why attack so high? Strategically it doesn't make sense is all. I understand that offensively our ranks can be way off depending on how upgraded your troops are so when people don't follow +5 it doesn't bother me at all. I think jrk has l3 dragons which would put him in top 15 for a dragon attack even though he's 30 something on the map. Just have to recognize how strong your army is and that other members have stronger dragons and can take out the tougher bases.

 

[GregR]

Alright, I need some help. Please look at my second attack tell me what did wrong in luring out the clan troops. Everythung came out except the dragon. It should have came out. Why didn't it?

Scout his base and click the Clan Castle and note that the activation range reaches the little pink isolated wall and passes right of middle of the elixir storage.

In the attack, your BK moved inside the range briefly and then stepped back out when he headed down south around the wall. So he was in there just long enough to trigger the archers, but then left before the dragon had time to come out.

right, but that base was mine and I had built an army for it. Because you took it, I was forced to take your 20 since I didnt want to screw anyone else. Suffice it to say, I sucked and blew it.

Like I said above, you cant just change mid stream when not everyone knows there is a change. I attacked at the moment bc I had 5 of fudds hogs that I didnt want to die if i was attacked

 

[SkyRattlers]

Here's my take for both sides:

To the rest of the clan: I'm with Kanil on not following the +5 or +10 standard. It's a complete waste for me to attack someone so far below me when I can guarantee three stars from a higher opponent. I fully support anyone who wants to attack above that standard as long as they pull their weight.

To Kanil: You MUST get 3 stars if you choose to break the +5 or +10 standard. Two stars is not good enough. It just forces someone to follow behind you and attack the opponent again.

That is all well and good. But if we have a plan, people build an army for that particular base. When that base is no longer there, you get stuck with troops you may not have wanted. If there is a plan, follow the plan IMO.

I know you are a little upset because someone took your +5 but you need to be more flexible. Individual opponents are not reserved for each of us, it's just a guideline.

19/20 were going to be tough for any of us without higher hogs. They were basically copies of eachother with the same difficulties presented for hogs or dragons.

My main concern was not leaving anything to cleanup as we already had plenty of bases to cleanup. Sorry it put you in a bind.

Dragons come out last. By the time the dragon was ready to pop out your guys in the CC circle were dead or had moved over.

But my BK and AQ were still alive as we're other troops. The dragon just never came out until I deployed hogs.

They weren't in the CC circle.

Go back and scout the base again. Click on the CC and see the CC radius. Your BK and AQ weren't pathing through there so the rest of the CC didn't get drawn til your hogs ran in there. When the CC is that centrally located you pretty much need to use hogs or giants to lure.

The clan mail said +5, not +5 or something around there. I have no problem with no strategy and everyone picking someone they think they can beat. But its a Sunday night. I was busy and not able to check in constantly. I approached it as if we did have reserved opponents. Guess Im the only one and if that is the case, my bad. Im done, moving on

Well, that's not the understanding a lot of us were operating with. It was discussed quite a bit leading up to the start.

Is there a CoC etiquette about looting someone who clearly has their TH set out for the picking? Or is it ok to go for their stockpiles.
