Dr. Carwash posted:Crisis averted boys, dropped Well, I was gonna say that removing clutter around your kingdom is a really quick way to go through your pools of resources, and you get achievements out of it that help toward buying another builder. Anyway, I just started this game myself. I didn't know there was a goon thread for it until just now, so I'll post again when I get the clan castle built and want to join one of the goon clans. Any particular recommendations for which clan is currently active/fun?

So how do I got about getting a screencap of my base? I want to post Babbys First Base and get some general opinions on it. Also, my shield ran out about 15 minutes ago. I attacked and demolished the first two bases I saw for a net gain.  I think I might just have fun with this game, now that I'm not getting raped by NPC opponents in the single player campaign.

Oh, I thought there was a utility or something for it.  Incidentally, while I was uploading the picture, I got raided for the first time. The attacker didn't even get a star. They got through my archer tower, the wall behind it, and broke my elixir storage, but that's it. So I guess I'll beef up that area next. Now I've got all these nifty little gravestones around my town... that apparently turn into elixir when clicked. Neat. I'm planning on purchasing a laboratory after my left barracks finishes its upgrade. Also, the open lines between the inner circle of buildings will be filled in with fence after I next upgrade my TH. Any further advice on this layout that anyone can give, or does it genuinely not matter at all until past TH6?

padijun posted:I just booted a couple inactives from Goon Tang Clan, so send a request when you have your clan castle rebuilt Quoting this cause I just applied. Pubbies are bad, by the way. I had 5 raids over night and in all but the last one, I managed to beat them back pretty handily. The last finally broke through my defenses and got just 2 trophies and not a whole lot of resources from me. I have yet to watch the preview, but my TH finally finished its upgrade overnight, so I'm building my 2nd archer tower now. I'm just wondering where to put my AD that I just acquired, since there's no central location that it'll fit into.

If the guy who made it wanted it to be public, he would've put it on a wiki or something instead of making it the OP of a thread behind a paywall. If you wanted to post a chunk or two of it, it probably would've been fine, but doing the whole thing is kind of lovely, IMO.

3rding this. I've been raiding successfully all night on the new-found promise of hordes of goblins with a couple of giants running distraction. It's been amazing. I'm actually going to have to stop soon-ish because both of my builders are busy upgrading my storages, and won't be done before I fill them both up.

I need some advice on rolling TH6s as a TH5. I'm in the process of upgrading pretty much everything, as I just got to Th5 over the weekend. I'm finding now that a lot of the Th6 bases I keep getting shown while raiding have 2 mortars and 2 wizard towers, whereas I'm used to 1 mortar and maybe 1 wizard tower with my current raiding strategy. I'm used to running with 6 giants and either 90 goblins or, more recently, 60 goblins and 10 barbs or archers. How can I switch things up to make it a bit easier to take out the towers and mortars?

duffmensch posted:You should be able to get rich quickly just by hitting abandoned bases with full collectors and using archers and giants (or some goblins if you want). At your level it's cheap to hit next until you get a free 120+ base. That's what I'm currently doing. I just feel like the towers rip through my army like tissue paper, and that there's gotta be something I'm doing wrong when I go up against them.

gromdul posted:Skip the giants and bring 30 more barbarians and archers. I tend to go for the giants because I find that lots of people put their mortars and wizard towers near the edges of their bases at this level, and the giants run for those first, which both distracts said defenses, and hopefully gets them taken out. I find my barbs tend to split up and get killed, but then again, I could also be dumb when it comes to picking spawn points, and I'm not taking advantage of how the mob pathing ai works.

Boywunda posted:Level 2 wizards actually. I'm still a TH5 (though 3 days until my TH6 finishes). I've been trying the barb-only strategy most of today. It works somewhat ok, but I guess I don't understand AI pathing and proper troop spawning well enough because I can never seem to get them to go after what I want. I'm gonna try a half barb, half gob approach for a bit and see how that goes. Maybe I can use the barbs to open up holes, then flood that area with gobs.

TraderStav posted:Go use some attacks I'm rank 46 in the alliance. I did try and attack when the war started. I had a bad army comp because I had a stupid idea and got 1*, and by the time I was able to rebuild my army, all the targets within 4 levels of me had been attacked. No way I'd even be able to 1* anything else as a th5. I don't know anything about the search feature when picking targets, but I do wish we would be matched up against groups with similar th compositions as we have. That and I wish we had more participants in war, since we seem to lack in attacks sent in the last 3 or so that I've seen.

That opposing clan at minimum was completely organized, and they executed on every attack. I pretty much exclusively receive level 5 archers when I request stuff. Even if I ask for other things. Sometimes, I'll get a random hog or a couple wizards, but yeah, like 90% is archers.

ZombieParts posted:You need to upgrade your Town Hall as quickly as possible. It increases the number of times your clan castle troops can attack before resting. Try to get to at least TH9 as soon as possible. While this is (probably since I don't actually know) true, don't rush too fast, or you'll end up against other TH9s with only TH6-or-whatever-grade everything else. Not exactly an ideal place to be. Somewhat related, but as an almost fully maxed out TH5, is there any decent way to deal with the 90% of bases I find that have 2 wizard towers and 2 mortars? I assume these are Th6s, and they blow me out of the water every single time. Should I just move along to other bases that don't have 2 each of those, or am I missing out on some secret strategy here?

gromdul posted:Sure, you can win wars and make a lot more. But the cost is much higher, and if you try to win and fail (like we do in WeSpent) then its a net loss. I spend 500k elixir on CCs, dragons and spells, and goons can't be bothered to use both attacks. causticBeet posted:I'm awful at this game and but at a certain point if you're not going to even try do the fun and competitive things in the game why bother playing? Like sure it's a net loss but it's what separates this game from other skinner boxes. I can't speak for everyone, but I know for me specifically during wars, I definitely try to attack at least once. What seems to happen is that if there's a target that's around my level(which has happened all of twice, including the war that's about to start), I'll definitely throw everything I have against them, but by the time I get my army built up and ready to again at a different target, everyone who was anywhere near my level has been decimated by higher leveled guys to the point where I can't even touch the recommended target anymore. What I'm saying is, being on the bottom kinda sucks in wars.

McSpankWich posted: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. I got 5 4* archers, a wizard, and a single, IIRC 0*, healer that did diddly poo poo in my CC last war.

Mostly resources, it seems. My current layout is pretty decent for wars, but it puts all the resource collectors and storages in really easy to access spots so that attackers get blown the hell up while they chew through them. Even still, I keep losing at least 50K total resources every drat raid.

dipwood posted:WeSpent has like 15 spots open. We won our last war somehow, I guess after getting rid of all that dead weight it came naturally to us... We won our last war because we got rid of a bunch of top heavy goons whose presence caused us to get dragged into wars with enemies that half of us couldn't realistically take on. Now, instead of that svelte hourglass figure, we're pear shaped and actually able to beat the horrible jerks we go up against. Our current war is looking pretty good as well. There's a guy in the lower levels with all level 3 walls, which our equivalent goon should be able to 3 star pretty readily.

Does anyone know if the devs are working on a fix for the keyboard bug on Android phones? I can't type anything in the chat now because even when the keyboard does come up, it disappears as soon as I press the first key. It's annoying as gently caress, and pretty much brings this game back to single player for me. To anyone in WeSpent, I tried to hit #29, but that base stonewalled me with it's abundant pink walls. I want to try at #30, but Penny called dibs on it, so I'll wait to see if they get any stars off of it.

As a relatively new TH7, what are some recommended army comps? currently I still use my TH6 comp but expanded to fill the extra army camp, which works out to 10 barb, 1 healer, 3 wb, 11 giants, and 100 archers, with two healing spells. I use the barbs to lure the cc, take that out with some archers, drop the giants ahead of them, near any ad, and use the heal spells to keep them alive until the ad is taken out, at which point I drop the healer. Liberally apply archers wherever needed, and use the wb to get through tough walls that might be between the giants and the ad. It's worked out well so far for the most part, but I just built the dark barracks and I'm at the point where I can save up for dragons and I'm wondering if I should change up that comp at all once i get the new troops.

Thoughtless posted:I sure love upgrading my AA. Every single time my shields expire the base gets reamed by giants+healers, for five days. I know your pain. Except I get giants, healers, and a BK for because. So, I just unlocked dragons yesterday, and I feel like it's time I changed my army comp. Currently, my comp is 1 healer, 3 WB, 10 barbs, 12 giants, 100 archers, and 2 heal spells. Use the barbs to lure CC, drop giants near the AA, use heals to keep them up until the AA is gone, then drop a healer for them, sprinkle liberally with archers to take out everything while the giants have their fun. It works pretty well, except against bases with all pink or better walls, and against really heavily protected mortars/AA. How could I change my army comp to better suit where I am in the game?

Ditch posted:For one thing, it's silly to have that many more archers than barbs. Also, if you find you're trying to get in the middle for storages as much/more than sniping collectors on the outside, bring more WBs. Drop down to like 50 archers, use 8-10 WB, more barbs, maybe some gobs too. I used 2 healers for a while because 1 would often get air-mined. Why is it silly to have more archers than barbs? I find my barbs die a lot more often than the archers due to needing more time to get up close to stuff, and therefore triggering more bombs more often. Also, the fact that the archers can shoot over walls and thus don't need to break them down first is also a plus.
