I just started playing. I read the OP (very well done, thanks) and I look forward to learning more about the strategy.

But I have a noob question and didn't want to look through 46 pages to see if it was already asked. Is it worth having two Barracks? If yes, should I upgrade them both? Multiple camps seems like an obvious yes. But multiple Barracks seem like it would only lower production time. I'm not planning on sperging out and playing for hours in a row. So far I can make Giants which take 2 minutes each. Are there units that will take hours, thus be worth having multiple barracks?

Multiple barracks are actually essential if you want to queue your full army-camp capacity in one go. You don't need to max them all though, and at TH7/8 you will probably be better off sinking your elixir into camp and troop upgrades before you think about maxing barracks (get 200 capacity ASAP). Just level one or two to unlock the small number of higher tier troops that you need. e.g. I only have 2 capable of dragons, and one that can do PEKKAs, and that works for what I build.

Useful for when you're not going to play overnight or something too. If you have a full army your can queue like 20 wallbreakers in each barracks that wont get built, but it spends the elixir.

Then if you're attacked they can't steal it.

Just need to remember to cancel the queue when you go attack or donate ;]

You are watching someone play clash of clans in an android emulator with a mouse click macro that spams mouse down + mouse up rapidly. It's not exactly cheating but you can't single finger deploy that fast on devices (correct me if someone is a tapping autist). You can however multi finger deploy as fast or faster with two or three deployment points while swiping. It's sort of exploiting but doesn't bring much benefit you couldn't obtain already.

I do multi finger a lot (lol), but you need to be careful if you have multi-touch gestures enabled on your iPad. I've lost WARS because I accidentally switched apps and deployed one giant or something against a whole base only to come back to the loading screen. :(

Do you want 1 or 2 fingers in your deployment? :q:

It's a little faster than 2 touch, btw. I don't think it has much practical purpose, I just thought it looked funny.

ixo complained about the same thing but while raiding, there was something like a 20 second gap in troop deployments.

I have 800k elixir and am TH7. I've upgraded Barbs and Giants to rank 4. Should I upgrade Archers to level 4, my 4th camp to 6, or spell factory to 3. I have not unlocked Dragons yet either so that's a possibility.

I would do archers --> spell factory --> camp --> dragons

The rage spell is pretty sweet though, so you may want to do the spell factory first.

I was just booted from the Spergs of War clan and am wondering why. Is it still a good idea to use your war attacks even if the only bases left are ones that you wouldn't stand a chance against? I'm sure I did something wrong, but don't know what. I'm also TH6 (with the recommended base build in the OP) and was donating 3 star archers.

Are you debussey? Steve Twerkel our resident guy-who-cares is displeased you didn't attack in the war.

If it means that much to you to stay in, and you know you're going to be out for a week when there are minimal requirements communicated beforehand, maybe cook a few drags to pop in to donate or tell someone you're going to be away?

Knowing my intent it's hard to agree what you say about it as passive.
See, I did donate and was the one getting the passive message. Really though I laughed. It felt like some kind of wow raid leader blowing up for taking a bathroom break.

I wasn't trying to ignore this I've just been without a charger that can connect to a comp for the past few days.

So to do this did I have to ever have my village logged into google+ previously? Can I do this without ever having it tied to any sort of account? What I did was install/uninstall. I'm also not sure how to restore from backup, but I do appreciate the advice.

No, you don't need to have connected previously. All the uninstall-install process does/did, is delete your app data. I don't know what device you use, so I don't know what options are available to you, but e.g. on a generic Android phone you would:

- Plug in, make new backup
- Restore the device to a previous backup. Choose a date a month ago or so, or whenever you were sure it was working
- Let it restore and restart
- Open clash. It will have restored the app-data, so it will open on the Blumpkin SA account
- Connect to Google+
- Restore your phone from the backup made in Step 1
- Open clash, it will be on your new account. Log in using Google+, and it will switch to the Blumpkin SA account

It's much the same on an iPhone, just using Gamecentre in place of Google+ (or linking your device with the code).

What if I anciently linked my G+ account to a new base I accidentally made to go through the help recovery process? Will that interfere? I'm on a Galaxy S4 and I have no idea how to make a backup or restore from a backup. Do I need a third party app for that?
This is my first smartphone and I'm pretty much retarded with using it.

Those in UGiev, if you gotta boot me til I get this resolved that's cool. Khablam thank you for your continued support on this issue.

Samsung make it very easy to do through Kies (their desktop software) that apes iTunes for trying to make it as one-click as possible. On the handset you can also set it to backup to Google. Settings > Backup & Restore > check the box. There's an option there to auto-restore app data on reinstallation, which will be useful for you going forward.
That said if you've never done any of this, you will be SOL, as Supercell's turn around time on these requests is months to never/polite reply as to why they can't help.

Treat it as a learning exercise that you will inevitably get data on your smartphone you don't want to lose, and make some form of backup. :(

e: AFAIK you can only link one village to one G+ account so you would need to make a new one if you got access to a backup.
