Use this base. http://clashofclansbuilder.com/plan/457526

People will, 4 times out of 5, just hit your Town Hall to gain like, 9-10 trophies and ~900-1000 resources. The rest of the base is fortified enough to deter most people TH6 and below, and there's really little you can do to avoid getting creamed by TH7+. Thankfully the higher TH levels will be getting less and less from you compared to others.

I found that towards the middle to end of TH6, my best attacks were done by about 60 goblins and the rest archers (~80 depending on what level your army camps are). I'd just hit next, next, next, next until I find someone out there who has all his resource collectors all grouped up and uncollected. Then I just send in the goblins, and use the archers as backup. The goblins will rape the resource buildings so fast that most defenses can't keep up with them at all (Wizard towers will though).

After switching to this base, people just hit my town hall and leave everything else alone. So I can keep saving up for upgrades. It's great!

Man spergs is embarassing as poo poo. I love it!

Speaking of TH8 upgrades, it's really burning me out. I'm thinking about taking a break, joining a casual clan, and letting my poo poo pile up for a little while. I have had 2 builders free for a few days now, no research going, and another builder opening tonight. Too busy to barch and I keep getting raided for ~200k each. Life sucks :smith:

The dragon war armies are feeling REALLY expensive now.

E; Ok I had enough to upgrade a mortar. Back on track. another 250k for wizards, but I still need to build a war army so probably more. I might just snipe since this war is going well.

Yeah closer than I thought. Nothing consistent in the middle though. Most of the attacks are 3* on the lower tier guys.

I feel you on the TH8 grind. I got my mortars done and the first level of wizard towers and canons. A couple of archer towers to their first upgrade too. Barbarians, Archers and Wizards are all level 5.

But I am sick of looking at pink walls, so I am dumping everything into them now. My builders will soon be idle as slowly grind another 30m elixir and/or gold for my welfare walls.

If you have an iPhone use Do Not Disturb during night hours. I'm sure Android has something similar.

Not an option. Due to Reasons I could potentially receive actually-important messages at 5 am, which is also why it's loud enough to wake me up. If there's just no way to turn it off, that's pretty lovely. Guess I'm done with this game.

You are clearly not dedicated enough to be playing the game in the first place. You'd get kicked out of one of our lovely clans faster than you could say "drat, you guys are nerds."

For Android, you just have to disable notifications for the app. I would imagine iOS has a similar function.

If you're on android you can go into the app options from the app menu and turn off notifications that way.

Maybe all clans should institute a +/- 5 war rank rule and purge the nonbelievers.

It takes awhile but i do enjoy having more options for attacking in clanwars than "DRAGONS ONLY" like it was at th7. Enjoy the death machines that are wizard level 5 and just grind it out to the next lab upgrade, they all feel insanely expensive.

There are exceptions based on the match-up, but generally speaking its a logical guideline... Sometimes +/-6 or 7 is whatever, but outside of that you're generally just cutting off other peoples targets and diminishing sperg potential. This is a life game.

Ignoring the fact that this war attack conversation is stupid. Why in the world would you care if someone can attack more than 5 higher and can 2-3 star them? Why do you limit them to just +5(or 6-7)? I will frequently head into the low 20's and high teens for an attack with better war reward (as a mid 30). This whole conversation seems pretty drat stupid.

Yea as long as you aren't getting 0 or 1 stars who cares if you take out a more difficult target?

TraderStav

BECAUSE the statistical model clearly shows that the probability of obtaining more than one star when attempting to attack a base with a 1.6 coefficient respective to your level is below two sigmas of the targeted confidence level and will over the long run result in lost wars.

God, do I have to spell it all out for you!?

Someone illustrate this with Bollinger bands please for these plebes.

Because you're literally more likely to get 0 or 1 star. The point of the war is to maximize star potential by minimizing wasted attacks. As I mentioned there are exceptions but it's just a general logical guideline.

Not sure what's so radical about this thinking.

It's just wrong, is what's wrong with the thinking. On a basic level matchmaking can skew TH levels against your clan by more than 5, your stupid rule is already hindering people.
Outside of MM concerns, you can often see bases >10 places up the roster that are very vulnerable to what you are strong in, eg a gapless base to your well-levelled hogs, or an otherwise strong base with weak AA coverage that will fall to balloonion. Under your silly rule, that is apparently so good transgressors should be recommended suicide, that possibility is nixed.

Your rule is basically not founded in logic, practice, reason or an understanding of how MM works. Much like Adolf, you're telling your people to be afraid of something that is actually beneficial to them.

It's one level of embarrassment to sperg-hard over clash, it's another entirely to do so and get it so badly wrong.
