Right now sitting at TH3, upgrading everything and getting some good farming raids on bad bases. People drop 50 or so troops on an attack nowhere near my exposed townhall and only end up grabbing a few hundred gold/elixer before my defenses wreck them all :psyduck:

What's a good point to join a clan? I'm on the verge of becoming TH5 so I figure I can't contribute much right now.

I like some aspects of Boom Beach, specifically flares, but yeah it's right now just a time filler while waiting for my troops to generate in CoC.

It'd be cool if they allowed a way to exchange elixer for gold and vice versa, even if it was at something like a 2:1 exchange rate.

Trip report: our number 45 defended twice with this thing (vs their 45 and 39) before getting two starred. They were really bad, on the other hand, our guy only had level 3 walls.

I've been running around with a similar design:



I like yours more though, especially the ability to switch between farming and trophy types. If I wasn't 1 day away from upgrading to TH6 I'd probably give yours a try.

The traps seem pretty obvious on mine, but the spring traps never fail to launch at least half a blob of giants and majority of the time people manage to set off the bombs as well.

It's really hard to tell which one is better, since these terrible germans don't understand the concept of "lure the CC." 22 giants just disappeared under mysterious circumstances during their third attack on your base

Hahaha that sounds amazing. I wish it saved all clan war replays - someone hit me before I could watch that one so all I saw was archers and goblins getting owned. Thank you whoever gave me those wizards!

No one's managed to get even one star on me yet!



edit: I'm dumb and learned how to view all replays.

Am I just smarter than the average pubbie or am I dumb and missing a strategy?

I've seen replays where I have 1k-2k odd each resource to get plundered yet guya will drop 5 giants 20 archers and 20 barbs. I would just click next and find an easy target with more to pillage.

Also it's really fun to watch the clan castle empty out and then all their dudes just die because spergs are generous folk.

They might be trophy hunting. If they can only 1k resources but 30+ trophies, they might consider it worth it.

I should have ignored 50 and gone for 48 instead, but I was focused on the easy kill. I know I could have 3-starred 48 though if I had thought it out.

My TH5 war base kicks rear end though, so far nobody above a 35 has been able to do more than 1 star me. I definitely recommend it. http://clashofclansbuilder.com/plan/377607

I eventually swapped the AD and the CC because hardly anyone who attacks me understands luring in the first place.

That's the base I used for TH5 and I'm backing you up on this, it's really hard to break. People had to drop high level poo poo / DB units to 3 star me.

If you're really geeking out, you probably should rush to TH7 because you run out of poo poo to keep the lab busy before you run out of poo poo to keep your workers busy. Of course no true sperg would ever advance without maxing their walls first as well.

So I just set this up, it runs extremely slowly. 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.

Weird, it runs really smooth for me. I don't know enough about emulators to even guess at what the issue could be, though.

Hang out in Silver I or II, you'll regularly find bases with exposed collectors that can net you 100-300k gold per base easily. Walls will be caught up in no time.

Been aiming for masters all week so I can get my 5th builder, and its been a tough and expensive climb. Right now in Crystal I with 2483 trophies. I thought it was tough for me as a TH8, so imagine my surprise when I came across a TH6 base worth 27 trophies.

I shoved his poo poo in with 8 dragons :unsmigghh:

I started adding a golem in with my barches when I have a ton of DE to spare. It's super effective if there's a lot of loot deep in the base. Gladly trade 450 DE for 200,000 gold / lix.

I've watched a lot of replays, specifically dragons which are notorious for displaying seemingly randomised behaviour. I do know based on observation that the game works on a much smaller scale of measurement than the grid when it comes to pathfinding, and that troops themselves are considered as a single point or coordinate. Buildings are considered an area, defined by a box that roughly matches the building's physical size. Troops have a "range" that they can attack from (even melee) defined by a circle surrouding them and additionally a "range" for finding the nearest suitable building to actually attack. What happens is that sometimes based on this more euclidean representation of distance is that a building may appear further away than another building to a particular unit (dragons in this example) but is in fact closer and so the dragons target it instead. Then there's the whole thing with defending troops and skellies becoming a priority target to certain troops but only under certain circumstances apparently.

I probably just completely talked out of my rear end one that one, but eh that's just what I've inferred. Maybe it's all just one big giant diceroll.

My girlfriend switched phones and didn't have her old base connected via Goolge+. She connected her new base to it without thinking about it. We tried removing the CoC app data from her account and then connecting from her old phone / TH7 base, but when she logs in to Google+ it keeps detecting her new TH2 base. Is there a surefire way to delete the new base so she can link her old one, or is she screwed?

I've used earthquake spells a few times when barching. 3-4 of them (depending on spell level) will shred a chunk of walls, allowing you to get at the tasty meat gold and lix inside.
