Yeah I did this last week and liked it. I may do so again, not a lot of upgrades to save up for, so having 3 wars a week is nice. Of course if I have 3 wars a week I'm not sure why I left FBGs in the first place, but whatever.BTW, and I'm not sure how long this will last, but we seem to have some good clan hopping going on between Honda and SeriousBus. With the current set up of these two clans, peeps have 0, 1, 2, or 3 wars a week available to them.
It reminds me of the old fbgs and Boog days with guys hopping back and forth, before we got too many people to handle it.

Nice war for Quattro. As expected the giant/wiz offense couldn't score points and it looks like they tapped out today. Haven't attacked in hours.
I'm still going to get two attacks in because of the seriousness of the business, but there isn't a great deal to clean up. Might take a crack at their only TH10.

Surprising that a clan with 87 wins was so terrible at attacking and they rolled over so quick.
Their 8 (TH9) could only manage 2* on my 17 (TH7). So pitiful.
PatsWillWin
Footballguy
Yeah I don't get it. Maybe they war non-stop and just get bad match-ups? Not sure how though. Their defense are decent (not great, but still) and they hardly have any offensive troops leveled.

FBG4 declaring pot time, but I'm taking a vanity shot at their #1. Someone come wiz on my castle, if you know what I mean.

So, Quattro on a nice little streak here.
Shock and Awe strategy has been working apparently. This clan was definitely ready for war. This clan definitely gave up 12 hours in.
Really good stuff gang!

You're not any better at pulling good watch match-ups than you are at spelling the word "imminent." <_<
But seriously folks, pretty bad match-up we pulled. They have 5 TH10's to our 1. In a 25 man war that's going to be pretty tough to overcome.
That said they don't look very mature offensively. Their top 5 guys must be hoggers because they don't have golems leveled.
We need to decided early if we're going to go put up a fight, or just get our ### kicked and complain about how much air was in their balls after.

Quattro -
I'll take lead on this war as well here.
With this matchup, I wan't some discussion before you cook an army to attack in the chat. I will check as often as possible starting tomorrow morning to advise, etc.
Please and thank you.
If we start getting our asses handed to us immediately, then we'll just give up

I'm just kidding, I don't mind this. I would like to try as much as we can and see how close we can get.
Top 5-10 guys need to make sure they're set up anti-hog IMO. CC has to be nigh unlureable.
Maybe they'll be offensive tomato clans like the last clan.

I'm not sure an anti-hog TH8 base actually exists.

Calling cjay, dude, and igbomb for war base update. All got 3 stars last war
It happens occasionally. Got hit with a max gowipe.
not going to rework anything until I have my new TH10 structures.

General thoughts on base design for maximum effectiveness:
TH7 or below
Goal: Make other clan waste a TH9 attack on you.
TH9:
Goal: Don't give up a 3 star to anything short of a TH10 with supermax troops.
TH7 or below
- Don't stress about it. Make your clan castle as hard to lure as possible as your clan defenses will be the only thing that can save you.
Goal: Make other clan waste a TH9 attack on you.
- Central anti air covering one other anti air at a minimum, if not 2.
- Anti air covers resource storages
- Wizard towers spread out and cover archer towers, teslas, or something that shoots at dragons.
- CC location is mostly meaningless
- Leave two possible double big bomb holes, somewhere.
TH9:
Goal: Don't give up a 3 star to anything short of a TH10 with supermax troops.
- CC needs to be tough to lure with hogs or loons. Make them dump 20 troops at least to get your cc out. This is CRITICAL.
- XBows need to be pointed up unless you have all 4 anti air covering at least 2 other anti air towers, and even then it's risky as hell.
- Several (3+) spots for double bombs. These can contain a tesla.
- Be smart about tesla placement. Use them to mess with CC lure, or to re-route golems.
- Don't use a base you find online. Steal it from an asian clan, ideally. Or a base you see in normal raiding.
- Just make sure a freeze can't take out 3 special towers at once. And the rest of the above for TH9 apply.

one thing I noticed that was effective at th8 range for war. have AA behind your storages to buy the AA time. Storage buildings have the highest hitpoints in the game besides the CC and TH. So using a layer of Storages with AA behind them can break a dragon attack. something to consider
for th9 antigowipe bases were best with multi layers. the middle layer should be non defensive buildings so golems will go for a walk around the base. I have a good one I stole from china that worked pretty well for a while and would often get a th10 to attack it.
heres a link to it which ill will take down shortly

I haven't really seen many TH9s with down xbows that couldn't be taken out for 2 with mass drag, but that doesn't mean it's high value as 2 down xbows should be an insta 3 for a pentahound attack even in the most rookie hands.
If you can get the CC out quickly, and the TH is fairly easy to get to with wall breakers then TH8 gowipe can yield 2 on several TH9 bases. A max pekka or 2 max witches is a massive boost to TH8 firepower.

Yes, it was part of that rant. They specifically say you can't talk about mods even in the loosest sense over there. They deleted a few of my posts, then my thread, and then locked me out. From what I gather they really only hand out bans in the actual game for botting. The rest of it is not worth their time or outside their skillset to actually identify.

XBows up and I will hit it with a gowoppy. 2 golems, 2 pekkas, 9 wbs, 17 (I think) wizards and a big pekka in the CC. 2 X Rage, 1 X Heal. I usually attack opposite from the bad guy's CC so his troops draw me into center. Have had good success with this approach.

TH8 wont have hounds, even in the CC.
culdeus
Footballguy
Well, I mean a TH8 going and getting 2 stars on a base that a TH9 can get an automatic 3 is low value. TH8 getting 2 where a TH9 would probably top out at 2 is very high value.

Just did the depressing math on this:
Let's say you had some disposable cash on hand
TH10 finishes and you are maxed on gold/elix/de and war cc is stuffed.
Get 4 camps started
Start and time gem spell lab
Start and time gem lab
Start clan castle
Leaves you with no workers for 10 days but all the critical upgrade paths are started.
You need 24.7 Million elixer to do this
That's 7800 gems in elixer and another 1600 gems in time.
9300 total gems needed. I guess if you banked every gem for a year and maybe got a few achievements mixed in you could get this done for about $40 bucks worth of gems.

So you are looking at around 70 bucks. Find a discounted iTunes gift card and maybe 60 out of pocket. That will get you almost 100% there

I'm not going to 30/30, but I will go to 25q/20k at a minimum and likely 30/25 q/k. I went to TH9 with a lot of labs from th8 leftover so I still have over 7 weeks of lab time remaining. Most of it minor crap, but still something to do.You maxing TH9?By the time I'm done doing 150k de hero upgrades saving 200k for hounds and then minions will be cake.Don't forget the elixir or DE needed for your first lab upgrade after you time gem it
