OK I keep looking but where can I find these "basic principles"? I'm dumb.

I've looked at lots of YouTube videos but they never discuss this stuff.

Technically it isn't the OP, it's the second post, but still. Pay better attention.

ixo posted:

You can ignore all these other stupid words, but click here to LEARN HOW TO LURE A GODDAMN CLAN CASTLE

Honestly there's only 3 basic principles you need to learn.

1) How to lure the CC.
2) How to drop your troops so that they go where you want them to and don't circle the outside of the base.
3) How to judge whether or not a base's collectors are full or not, since the collectors are usually the easiest source of resources.

All of which can be learned by reading the OP and the second post.

Until you hit TH10 and have full TH10 defenses and a fully upgraded army you will ALWAYS be outmatched. But you shouldn't upgrade your TH unless you've got the majority of things you can do at your TH level completed, and here's why :

Let's use 3 examples of bases. Base A is TH4, Base B is TH5, and Base C is TH6. All three bases have 100k of each resource available.

If you're TH4, then you can hit all three bases and earn 100% of the available resource. But when you upgrade to TH5, suddenly Base A will only give you 90% of the available resources, while Bases B and C still are at 100%.

When you upgrade to TH6, now Base A is only work a paltry 50k resources. Base B is 90k and Base C is 100k. Of course, Base A will be the easiest to attack because at TH6 you have more troops and, hopefully, higher level troops. But that's why you won't get much from it.

Out of curiosity, what TH level are you right now? And what level are each of your troops?

Also the reason I'm posting this big wall of text right now can be blamed on world of warcraft queues, so I promise I don't usually get this worked up by poop games.

I don't know if it's just because our clan name starts with a number, but anytime the clan is open we get pubbies applying every 30 seconds or so. If you wanna join us but don't meet the trophy requirement just PM me or post here. One spot left.

A bunch of people(sadly, the ones I generally recognize as being mostly active) left after we lost our last war by like 3 stars. I think this is our 3rd or 4th loss in a row now, so I can understand the frustration.

For the record, I don't really mind losing. Losing by single digits with 30 of 70 attacks unused is pretty frustrating though.

It wasn't that we lost, we've lost a million wars and I didn't care because people actually participated. It was that we would have won easily if people had just attacked. Our star ratio well over 2.0 stars per attack, but we lost 73-75. Only like 43 attacks were used out of 100. It was frustrating to spend like 500-600k elixir on CC troops and attacks, and then no one even care to use them.

This is why I don't mind everyone making fun of spergs of war. We usually have less than 5 attacks missed per war, unless we are absolutely blowing out the other clan.

We made fun of twerkel because at the time everyone was warring constantly and his being an rear end about participation was ridiculous. Now it's like he's the only one still on the right page as the clans slowly turn into little gay communes that don't do anything
