So a bunch of goons are enquiring about android emulators, in some cases they tried but gave up. Bluestacks is slow, while Genymotion is a full speed emulator. This works on Windows/Mac/Linux, perhaps even freeBSD Hardware Requirements VT-x or AMD-V capable CPU (My 2009 MacBookPro works for reference) 2GB of RAM 8GB+ Disk Space Software Required VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads Genymotion https://cloud.genymotion.com/page/launchpad/download/ x86 to ARM Translations see Patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528952 Play Store Patch see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528952 Instructions 1. Install VirtualBox First, Next Next Next Next. 2. Genymotion requires an account but is free, sign up and download the software 3. Run Genymotion, Sign in to get a list of virtual devices 4. Now we pick a device to emulate, I’ve had issues with 4.4 so lets use 4.3. Pick your favourite device and resolution, name it and push next. 5. Now start the android vm, wait for it to load and I mean wait. Even though we have the VM we aren’t done. This emulator will be slow without the emulation patch, and doesn’t have the google play store. So it’s basically crap all for us so let’s continue with more steps. 6. Download the ARM translations .zip file, this will speed up the emulator 7. With the Android window on the home screen, drag and drop the .zip archive we downloaded into the android window. You should see a file transfer dialog, which then will say it is a flash able archive. When it asks just say Yes. Once you are done, close the android window, and in the Genymotion app start the window again. Ok great, we have a faster emulator, lets add Google Play 8. Ok we need the GApps download now, theres a bunch of mirrors so pick one for the right version of android 4.3 or whatever you chose earlier. Make sure to click the right download link, half the page will be clickable download here links that will send you to porn or something 9. We will again drag and drop the zip file into the Running Android window. The same rules apply, it will say flash able archive, you will say Yes please. Once it finishes, close the window and reopen the VM in Genymotion. If it says fails, it might be lying so restart the vm and see what happens, if it works it works and we're happy. If your vm complains about google play services can't run the solution is to update google play services from the google play store. Update whatever Google Play wants and things should be gravy. Ok we should have a usable Android emulator now. Sign into Google Play, download the games/apps you want. Get used to the keyboard commands and there you go. 10. Crack open a beer and it's time to play on your laptop/desktop/Surface Pro 11. You need to link the devices, you get 1 minute to enter some code on the new device.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0F4MnhWIwh8 After getting spooped by a few and seeing this video, GTC is doing a limited test run of a few valks mixed with wizards and archers, with more going in the lower level CCs where they're less expected and air attacks are less common

I really liked playing on it for a bit, but then I bought a tablet and learned to double drop and quit using it. What are the benefits of Genymotion that makes it worth all that? vvvvv fair enough.

Bluestacks is adware, Genymotion is a developer app that is totally free for individuals.

So, my buddy who got me into clashing needed to borrow my phone to get his fix, but when he went to switch to his google+ profile it said it would delete my village. Just to be absolutely certain, that means it'll delete the local version stored on my phone, but the version tied to my profile will remain intact, right?

The emulator itself is super choppy, not even running CoC, just navigating around the android desktop is laggy as hell. Bluestacks is completely smooth, despite being annoying with the downloading random apps. They're easy enough to remove though, you just pop through the list real quick and clear it out.

Question for any barchers - have you ever tried barching at around 1700 trophies? I'm there at the moment and the loot seems severely lacking. I find myself attacking bases with 6th of loot just to get an attack in.

I find myself attacking bases with 6th of loot just to get an attack in. There's barching available all the way up into Masters. Just keep hitting next and you'll find the 200k+ soon enough. I regularly find that in Crystal III and II within 40 nexts. Sometimes it seems like it goes longer than that but the payoff is worth it.

I just realized I'm still running the developer preview of Windows10 on this computer for work. That is probably whats happening, since the graphics drivers are shoehorned in from windows 8 and far from optimized. I'll try it out on my desktop when I get home and see if it's any better.

I dropped my tablet last week and have been using Bluestacks. It is pretty slow and dropping 185 goblins crushes the FPS to about 1 fps. But it does work and was incredibly easy to set up.

I just gotta share this gem from 2poor's current war You can't see it but there's a mortar outside the base just off the top of the screenshot. I'm assuming it's the new one and he just put it out there to level it up, but it's already a level 4 compared to the two level 3's inside the base so I have no idea. I'm a th6 and I'm more confident in my ability to get a star from this than from either of the th7's below it.

They also had a TH8 (I think) that left his TH outside the walls, so I got to snipe that as a TH5.

Trip Report: Goon Tang Clan was forced to submit for the second time by Canadians with different punctuation. However, the TH8 poo poo Twister remained true, giving up only one star, and hockey is still underfunded in the States and not really covered by ESPN. Our next matchup seemed reasonable, until I saw it. A twister. Of poo poo. http://imgur.com/rCrNTls

Drop two dragons, one near the builder hut, one near the spell pan, drop the bk between them, let them clear the trash, then drop the rest of the dragons next to the left camp. 4-5 of them should hit the core then it's pretty much over.

Spergs: Koa here, I assume you guys kicked me but if not you should because they have a "no phones" policy down here on the ice. So I'm out of luck for CoC since I can't get bluestacks to work and don't care enough to try. See ya'll in a few months!

Not so well when your highest th7 is 22 (me) and their 40 is th9. In addition their 50 is th8 and they have 2k trophies on you. Will report back after this war.
