Ok, have a major problem..

In order to get two shuke accounts in during travel i swapped gamecenter id on my ipad rather than bringing two ipads which was my normal method.

Now I swapped my gamecenter back to my main account and the ipad is staying on shuke.

I was able to swap back and forth about 2 times. I knew this was risky as hell, but I don't know how to get rid of shuke and get my main back on my primary ipad now.

ugh

account is still fine on my android phone

what is that

you are jailbroken no?

it allows you to wipe the data completely for a certain app

even if you uninstall it will keep that data in memory

not guaranteeing this will work but its the next step of troubleshooting before restoring

 

[culdeus]

I'm trying this

Lost your village?
If you lost your village for some reason, there's a chance that you can restore it yourself. However, if you DID NOT CONNECT YOUR VILLAGE TO GAMECENTER then there is no way to restore your village. If you did, please try these steps:

1. Delete Clash of Clans from your device
2. Log out from Facebook and Game Center from your device
3. Restart your device
4. Login to your previous Game Center account (which you used when you played your village on old device or pre-restore)
5. Re-install Clash of Clans from App Store
6. Launch Clash of Clans
7. You should get the popup asking if you want to load your old village and the town hall level of that village.

You should now be playing Clashing with your farm again! If this doesn't help, please use the in-game Report An Issue (Game Settings -> Help and Support) to contact our support, or email them at: clashofclans.feedback@supercell.net so that they can look into it. If you email them, please provide them with your lost village name, what level town hall you had, and your GameCenter name (both the new and old version)

 

[culdeus]

I'll mess with ifile later. I'll probably pull it back, but not ####### with swapping accounts on same device again.

decent writeup for hogging in war

http://www.reddit.com/r/ClashOfClans/comments/2s38tr/strategy_unsungs_guide_to_hogging_in_wars/

Great write up.My next troop upgrade will be Hogs to lvl 4. After that I will likely be using hogs more than dragons as I'm sick of my failure rate with dragons being so high against top TH8 bases.

I don't think TH8s can reliably 3-star top TH8s. Leave that for the TH9s.

One of my goals in the next month before I make the move to TH9, is to three-star a Max TH8 base.

if you do, let us know what works

My first attack in this war was a L4 hog rush on a max TH8. My target was #30, their top TH8, and got a 3 star after almost messing up. As long as there are no gaps for double bombs it seems like a gimme.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

How do you guys decide if a base is a good target for hogs?

I have max hogs now, but have never really used hogs except to take out an AA or lure a CC. I've watched a couple of videos but still wasn't confident enough to try hogging a base this war.

24 might be a good spot. Queen is on the edge and the same side as the cc lure.

What makes that one tricky is trying to guess where the big bombs are. He has space for two double bigs also. So there is a big element of risk with this one. Not the worst one to practice on though.

I'm not FGBS.I'm in Quatro and have already used my attacks. I was just asking for general advice on picking an appropriate target.

this is all I really look for, double big bombs. 26 looks like a good target, there are two double bomb spots next to the AT's to the bottom. you can use a couple of hogs on each to set it off and pull the cc at the same time. if it's not called i may try it. this TH9 still has TH8 level defense plus the xbows. hog5 will be my next upgrade.

ETA: if you can predict the spring traps that's a huge boon too. those two things make hogrush go south in a hurry, double big bombs and finding a late spring trap when u're down to half ur troop.

[Instinctive]

Two things:

1. My hog attack on #26 was terrible. The dragon kinda screwed my entire CC clearout and destruction plan and I don't think I recovered. Meant for 2 stream of hogs, but each stream split. Didn't deal well enough with the AQ I don't think. Wouldn't mind some other thoughts from someone in fbgs who can see relay.

2. Someone asked for a picture of my war base. I can't figure out how to get a picture into a post or PM, so until some instructions are up...sorry. If anyone wants to tell me how, let me know. I have a screenshot of it.

You did fine. Main issue was it was a little slow and you likely were gonna be short on time, but you got the queen dead fine. Spells were late on the left side, that got them all killed. get 2 more heals pre placed and you had a shot. A good one.

 

[TenTimes]

All this time I've been upgrading gowipe when it looks like I should have gone with hogs to level 3 then level 4.

I can't 3* a max TH8 without luck and I have about everything maxed except hogs

FBGs 4 Serious Biz powers that be...

Take this as completely said with respect and not meant as a slam or whining or whatever but...

(also note, I'm a big fan of everyone in the clan, super super fun guys to clash with)

We haven't really been a serious biz war clan and that's what I thought we were billing as here...

Couple things:

1 - the Clashcaller website. Very convenient for keeping track. Not so great for a Serious Biz War Clan. It just leads to folks calling whomever they want without us huddling up first and figuring it out.

1a - very little pre war strategy talk re: opponents bases. Instead it seems to be a race to clashcaller to claim what you think you can 3 star. I think, with so many lower level bases, we need a bit more "Field Generaling" on that.

1b - this is on me too. I've been in the clan since there were just 3 of us. I wanted to take some initiative in helping run things but I didn't. We just aren't huddling up enough prewar. The strategy talk is almost minuscule compared to what goes down in FBGs. Again, a lot of this is on me as a level 9 th mainstay.

2 - serious biz war clan needs serious biz warrers. Last war we lost by a star or two and had an unused attack. Same guy this week shows up 4 hours before end, asks who to attack, doesn't want for a response and attacks the base I called with the clashcaller website. Gowipe armies take forever to build. There isn't another great target for a war base given that we are only warring with 20 - options are limited, so when this happens, it's even worse than in a 50 base clan war. Unacceptable stuff in serious biz war clan, IMO.

2a - it cant just be me calling it out here Gotta be one of our leaders. Speak up. If this is serious war biz, we need to treat it that way. I don't mind being bad cop. I joined the clan because I'm a nerd and wanted a serious war clan. Things come up...but it can't be chronic and just simply not reading the clan mail and following protocol is not serious biz material as much as I like said clasher.

Anyway, serious biz war should be, ,serious biz war. I have some solutions that I'll type up in a post later on. Maybe we can build a consensus and move forward with that plan.

PS - we also had to beg for someone to come finish off my clan castle fill last night before the war prep period was over. We need a "system" for this

 

[culdeus]

One of the underrated updatr component was adding more buildings. Thetc didn't give more walls. This made bases more congested. Congested bases are better for hogs. That mortar used to be a possible big bomb location. The extra drills take up space. Mortars hurt golem raids and have minor impact on hogs.

I don't see the problem with clashcaller (other than people not checking it). Isn't the goal to get 3* on the 1st attack? Seems a lot better than generically going +5 where you end up wasting a bunch of attacks at the low end where guys could be trying to shoot higher.

As for the filling CC, what is the protocol here? I haven't been giving troops because 1) the top guys usually fill everyone and 2) I wouldn't want to fill a higher level TH with lower level troops. Do TH9s really want L4 arch/wiz in there CC? For raiding sure. But war?

We just need a protocol for filling. Spread it out...there's got to be a model here.

Clashcaller is fine and of course 3 star goal is great....but with many lower level bases, we need some assistance/advice corner/"field generaling"

I think we do, maybe none of us have the time for it There's so little strategy talk in FBGs 4 vs the other iterations of FBGs, and guess what? We aren't winning wars as consistently as the other clans. In fact, we've been losing, more often than we are winning when the other clan is actually alive and trying. For a Serious Biz War Clan, it just doesn't seem right

I'm looking at making it better, that's all my intentions are here.

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

I did the same, ignored hogs at L3 and recently went to L4 after I got to TH9 but got both golem and pekkas to L3 at TH8 before going to TH9. I still think gowi* will be more powerful in capable hands but in the end it all depends on your target. before the Honda days we saw nothing but anti-hog and anti-drag bases so it made sense to focus on golems. last few months it's been all anti-gowi* bases because of the hog nerf a few updates ago, granted there are varying opinions about how bad that nerf really was, so now we're back to looking at hogs. a strong war participant will have both maxed by early TH9, which is a lot of lab time.

I'm with you. Losing sucks.

Are you seeing bad attacks at lower levels? Bad bases (IMO it doesn't matter at TH7 or low 8 since drags will crush them anyways)? I think I saw one poor attack in this war that cost a star but haven't noticed any others (and that star was cleaned up without wasting an attack as another low guy got it).

Clashcaller has a spot for notes on the bases which would certainly work better than chat. When I wake up and see 99+ messages in chat I sure as hell won't go through and read them all but if they were posted here or on clashcaller count me in.

Devise something for filling CC so lower THs like myself can help fill.

 

[GroveDiesel]

There are certainly some issues in Quattro. The problems largely stem from the initial need for people and continues to exist for some of the same reason. There are probably 5-6 bases that either:

1) Are underdeveloped

2) Don't communicate at all

3) Bring up our matchmaking ranking but don't hold their own in war

You're right in that we'll probably need to be making some decisions soon on whether to continue as is, or trim to 15 or so and ask some folks to leave.

Well, phew, not just me.

I'm okay if we just need to rebrand to another version of the Boog.

But we were the "serious biz" war clan We've been getting seriously shellacked since inception.

Don't use attack 2, take someone elses call, were I in charge it would be :wave:

Come back when you post here that it won't happen again.

3rd strike and :wave: for good

More strat talk - basically everything I said above/

 

[TenTimes]

When I was at Serious for a war (granted it was the weekend before xmas) Greg was about the only one talking, at great length anyway. And there definitely wasn't any kind of team vibe like there is at Honda, cheesy as it gets at times.

 

[John Bender]

Also need Gary/SoCalBronco to at least get one of his attacks in a bit earlier. Will help the rest of us see where we stand and how high we need to shoot. He's awesome to have around with the high level troops if you can catch him in the 2 minutes he's online within a 48 hour war period

The 2 attacks within the last 5 minutes of the war stuff might be fun in a laid back clan, but in serious biz war clan Kinda sucks to sweat every week

Unfortunately, this has been the case for 5 months and was one of the factors he got the boot from fbgs1. I wouldn't expect it to change and you guys will have to decide on to live with the will he or won't he attack or show him the door.

 

[PatsWillWin]

A huge part of FBG4's problems has been...MYK (me). I've been terrible since coming over. Not sure why. This tie lies squarely on me, choked my second attack, and Gary had to clean it up. I think being ranked #3 makes me think I have to aim higher than I should, maybe I should go back to FBGs or something. I rarely missed out on a 2 star in FBGs, here I've been 50/50.

[GregR]

Agree with a lot of the general stuff that's been said.

I'm afraid I'm a bit burned out right now. Think for the time being I'm probably going to keep skipping wars until I get the urge to get back into some. Otherwise I felt on pace to possibly burn out on the game completely. So not really going to be able to help when it comes to organizing the attacks or the like.

But all some of that takes is some people stepping up to do it. Also might want to talk to Gary about would weekend wars work better for his schedule. Between one Honda/Boog war and then the first Quatro war, could get attacks in Friday-Sat and Sunday night, if work conflict is the issue. Or, might be home stuff not having time that's the issue, not sure.

DOn't EVER worry about sucking if you're participating and following protocol. No one is trying to lose. If you aren't using attacks or just flat out breaking the direction, well then, that's not acceptable.

Both of yas are very valuable and happy to have you.

I get it Greg. You and I were the biggest cheerleaders for FBG4 since inception.

It hasn't worked out well and bummed me out quite a bit myself.

I just want to play with a group who is "on the plan" or head back to FBG1.

If they aren't on the plan, I need one of our 2 leaders to boot them in the ###

Yep. I think that's a pretty common through in the clans. Make your attacks. Follow the spirit of any plan and you are cool. Effectiveness, or lack thereof, is never a reason for someone to get a stink-eye in their direction.

This about sums it up. We needed folks to get started and for donations, and some are in who probably shouldn't be for the reasons outlined in grove's post. But I think we all get what you are saying czar.

After this next "war" (bang up job, matchmaking!), we will try and figure out what to do.

But knocking clashcaller is crazy talk imho!
