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?

This is my TH3 base so far. I've had a few defensive victories, which is neat. One was legit, and a few more where they deployed a couple barbs and gave up. I finally got enough elixir to start training, and went with Archers first. Slowly upgrading my walls. I've run into a clan castle a couple times when attacking, where the barbs rush out to defend. How does this work? I assume I have to join a clan after repairing it, but I don't think I'd want to use up a spot in a goon clan at my low level. Should I dump the gold into it and get it going?

I found a juicy target and crushed him for 20k gold and elixir. Plenty of gold to unlock my clan castle! So who had some room for a noobish goon?

Quitting because they took his unfairly earned toys away? I am surprised bans weren't handed out. Similar incidents in MMOs would result in bans (exploiting bugs, telling others to exploit while they can).

You could be right. Well to counter your last argument, some MMOs are freemium and some have monthly fees. I suppose handing out bans could effect relatively innocent players. Those who were effected by the bug but didn't exploit it. Meh, pointless speculation.

Does anyone have a preferred TH5 farming base? I checked out CoCbuilder, and there are, of course, many to choose from. All the top plans have flaws, but there isn't a lot to work with at TH5 anyway. Anyone have a favorite they want to share?

I was wondering about that. A lot of the designs on https://clashofclansbuilder.com put the storages inside the walls. I can see having other buildings inside walls to absorb some attacks, or just to make it harder to get a 50% damage star. But not worrying about them might be helpful at low TH levels.

 This is my set up. Works OK, I got 3-stared of course, but it was with an expensive army. Dragons or Hogs. Which I find hilarious. I just followed the logic mentioned above, and tried to make my CC as hard to pull as possible.

I lure them away from the base, and drop some Barbarians to tank and ring them with archers. Maybe drop my CC too depending on what is inside. The barch troops will kill them quickly and then go on to attack the base. I only have lighting atm; I use that to soften the defenses where my mass of troops are going to hit, trying to get the mortar and wiz tower if I can. Not that I'm an expert, but I can 3* an equal level base (TH5) with this. From watching replays from my clan I can see it gets even more important with heroes and high level bases. I just hit TH6, lots or upgrading and research to do. I am looking forward to using Giants and Healers. Until then barch still packs a lot of punch for the cost if deployed intelligently.

Butt Discussin posted:I feel like I've hit a wall at the beginning of TH6: people take my resources almost as fast as I can get them, while I can only get 50000 gold/elixer max from the places I can actually beat, even after hitting next 50+ times. Time to drop trophies and hope to hoard gold from mines? Are you using Thinkmeats Supreme from the OP? Swap out your TH for your Lab for a quick 12 hour shield. People will drop a handful of archers for the easy win and move on. Its a solid design too. TH6 seems like the first major time sink. I have the best luck with barch when I have some time to play. Six WBs and a couple of heal spells. Just skip forever until you find a base worth over 100k gold and elixir with, at most, yellow walls. Pick a side with weak AoE and unleash your horde. Make sure to check the CC too. I drop a line of barbs, then a line or archers. Drop WBs, a heal on the breach, and drop the other 40 barbs and 40 archers and my CC. Drop the other heal when the first fades on the biggest clump of barbs, and hopefully you can roll through the rest of the base. I also like 2 healers, 7 giants, 6 WBs, and the remainder in archers and barbs. This has worked well for me. The amount of farming seems daunting, and upgrade times are measured in days. So play Boom Beach too!

Khablam posted:Heal gives HP multiple times, so barbs getting blasted down to red by a mortar will be returned to full HP almost instantly each time. This. I find it more effective than lightning, and I don't have rage yet (which will be awesome, I can't wait). Without heal spells they get squished by wizard towers and mortars. No healing works fine if the collectors are outside the walls and that's where the loot is. I find the most important part of barching isn't the heals tho, it is picking the right target: TH6 or less (an equal TH level to me). The less AOE the base has, the better. I've raided a few bases with purple walls or higher if the collectors are full and easily accessed. But once they are destroyed my army quickly gets decimated by the defenses behind walls that my WBs have trouble breaching. Plus all the extra wall segments mean even more compartmentalization which is tough to overcome with a weak army. The toughest part is the timing between troop placement and heals. I'm still learning, but it seems effective if I drop 20/20 of archers and barbs to destroy the buildings outside of the walls on the side I am attacking, then drop a heal, drop the 6 WBs, then try to drop the rest of my army and CC while the heal is still rolling.

Well you can attack other people bases, does that make it multiplayer? It lacks a guild structure like CoC. It also lacks retaliation. The players you see on the map are not the ones who see you on theirs. I'm working on a OP for Boom Beach, but I don't know a whole lot so its requiring a bunch of research.

How to play Boom Beach: *Play once per day. Collect resources. Spend diamonds to start an upgrade since you can't afford it. *Never attack other players unless the base is very poorly designed. You will lose. *Never attack the non-player bases. Doing so will raise your trophy count and you will no longer find players with dumb bases. HTH
