Is there any way to make this game not send me a phone notification at 5 in the morning to tell me I made more cartoon people?

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.

I feel a much better ending to this would've been if, after going through all of that effort to make an rear end of myself, the clock had run out before the balloons had trundled across the whole base. They managed to split up and I brought those archers as insurance against that anyway, but still.

I can't imagine it'd be worth it just because at TH5 you can find way more 250k+ bases at any level, it's a penalty for high levels attacking low levels but not a bonus the other way around. The only reason it feels like there's more high income bases in crystal for TH9s and 10s is because of the penalty that makes 8 and below not worth it. And the win bonus doesn't compare to finding empty collectors and obviously you have to win.

Still cool though and if you get your kicks by getting trophy levels that's awesome.

I just did it because I had full storages and nothing better to do while I wait for my town hall to upgrade, so I wanted to see how high I could get just by th sniping. I got high enough for the free gems so, hey, bonus.

I decided to give up the ghost and go back to where I belong when some silver III guy I attacked at the very beginning of my rampage revenged me for over 100 trophies, though.

I'm TH4 and ready to start farming for resources. Haven't done a single multiplayer match yet so my trophy count is 0. Just Goblin campaign. How big of an army do I need to start farming? I've got my goblins and archers to level 2 so far. Currently upgrading my camp fires. Only hold 65 slots so far. Is that enough or upgrade them more?

As a TH4 you can't actually defend from basically anything at all, and that goes for other TH4's as well. Pile up 65 archers and start throwing them at weak bases with lots of resources. Just be sure to spread them out rather than putting them all in one big pile unless you want the mortar to just ruin your day.

Outta curiosity I've got a thinkmeats TH6 base set up, and I've gotten crushed a lot more often than I'd like by T7 bases.

First question: Is this in clan wars, or are you trophy hunting? If no, don't use the Thinkmeats, it's a warbase.

If it IS a war, getting attacked by a th7 is actually a good thing. It means you were too strong for their th6's and a th7 had to lowball to get you, so now he's wasted an attack that could've gone towards three-starring a harder base and the th6's and below have fewer potential stars they can get. Unless their th7's are actually ranked lower than you in which case, let's face it, your clan is probably hosed.

I'm pretty new to the game, but from what I can tell, you're pretty much just hosed. TH7 gets a fourth army camp, so their army is just gonna be so much larger that they can crush through TH6s easily. I noticed this when I was a TH4. Defending against other TH4s was cake, but a TH5 had, effectively, 50% more army dudes because they get a new camp at that level.

Yeah, this is basically true of any TH level, even ones where you don't actually get a new camp on the next one up. For instance my end-of-TH5 base was near untouchable to pretty much anyone th5 or lower, but th6's had healers that let their giants just roll over the whole base and enough cc space to bring a dragon just to make me cry. Getting attacked by a higher TH level is almost always gonna be a losing battle.

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?

I just gotta share this gem from 2poor's current war




:allears:

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.

I'm not that high, but I think ideally you should get all of your walls up to at least purple ASAP, since that's the point where a single WB of any level can't break it.

Okay help me out here. I have a theory and want to see if there are any holes in it.

If you are in a farming clan or 1 war a week clan (let's say 50% win/loss), is there any down side to just doing perpetual war but throwing it every time? The idea is that you snipe/barch the highest possible enemy base and scoring 1/4 the loot every time you lose.

Assuming you are raiding, it sounds like it could be pretty lucrative (and optional) strategy. In fact you could still do that in any semi-war clan if you have two days a week when you arent warring.

Discuss.

In what way is this lucrative? If you can barch a war base, just barch a collector base. One good raid is worth more than a quartered war pot.

LAY-ZX
Nov 10, 2009

ATCG posted:

But this strategy:

1. Doesnt require even full barch army
2. Loot goes to clan castle not storages
3. You also get a bit from the atk itself
4. Doesnt require participation. So you can fit an atk in if covenient or not.

1. A random farm base also does not require a full barch army
2. And???
3. You also get a bit from attacking a random farm base.
4. Or you could just not do the war and go attack a random farm base.

Your idea is poo poo, sorry.

There is no reason at all not to constantly war in this game.

But if you lose, you might as well not have done the war at all, because it's more profitable to just raid. If you want to win, you have to put in effort and resources. If you put in effort and resources and then lose because the rest of your clan didn't because it's the third war that week, you've wasted all of it.

There's no reason at all to be in a war if you aren't attempting to win it.

e: Four barbs to TH snipe a war base :allears: In 2poor's current war it took 100 archers, 50 barbs, and a donated dragon for me to just get 50% on someone halfway worth a drat.

e2: For reference, "halfway worth a drat" means I got 400k/400k from it. If we were to now lose this war, I'd get 100k from that base. Meanwhile I could have taken that same army comp sans dragon on a next button party and found a base with 200k/200k sitting in collectors outside the walls.

The guys that drop off participation are almost 100% those same guys that were super spergy, 10 hour a day, "i'm invicible at TH7" nerds. You could smell them burning out long before the participation drop.

Is reducing clan wars going to inspire the burn-outs to try harder a couple of times a week? Probably not. Do war loses count against a clan? Not at all. Clans really shouldn't try to accommodate those burn outs.

Win or lose I get a significant amount of lix/gold and especially DE - I'd hate to lose that option just because some goon are lazy sandbagging faggots who can't press attack a more than a couple of times a week.

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?

I assume you're a TH5? You'd probably be best to just next past those, yeah. If you're seeing a lot of good ones in your league, just get bloons in your CC, then use your other troops to target the AD and as many archer towers as you can and release the bloons on everything else.

Why is wanting to win wars "spergy"? All you do is make two armies and if you win you walk away with hundreds of thousands of resources. Why just barch in wars or ignore them completely when it's one of your few good excuses to actually build a real army that can bring down an entire base?
