CLASH OF CLANS : Clan Wars

[tronic44 3,642]

Mine was quitting on me the whole of yesterday, managed to just finish my second attack before it shut down. Well fudging annoying! GG to everyone so far, i've had an awful war so far but others are putting in some good scores!

[Plumbers Crack 4,067]

Just seen a replay of Jsyn being mullahed by 20+ level 5 hogriders....never gonna stop that easily.

 

Don't be disheartened guys, that's a good showing against a clan that were 8 from 8 before the start of this war. We're always gonna have problems like this but on other days we'll pull through. We've had guys away on the holiday weekend, people have connection issues etc but that will always happen because it's only a game and we live in a real life world.

 

So relax, enjoy it, watch the replays etc. If you qualify to war...then war!!

 

Side note: Diddums in chat box "1 star. Just.1.star." I could feel the rage

 

Side note 2: Kyle, I think you're right about my walls being intimidating. I think I've been attacked once in 3 wars

[tronic44 3,642]

20+ level 5 hogriders?!!?!? Holy shit balls, gota watch that!

 

I think the problem we have is that we don't have many of us at high intimidating levels, they had a good 6 bases which i'd look at and say, fudge that.

 

Hopefully we'll get put against some people who are a little less armed next time and hopefully the app works properly!

I'm having a ball doing this.  I love CoC.  I just feel bad about holding others back.  Being the weak link blows, haha.  But, if you (Dave) aren't bothered by it, then I'll keep at it. 

[tronic44 3,642]

Na keep at it dude, i was awful in the last war. I suppose the only way we'll get better is by practicing. I definitely need to think up some new strategies!

Fixed that for ya

[tronic44 3,642]

Fixed that for ya

Spot on!

 

Although i think i came up with one whilst on the throne last night, great place for thinking

 

I should added i don't remember what it was, might have to put a pen and pad in there for future thoughts.

[kylebees 242]

Once I fixed the connection issues, I watched a lot of the battles from our side against them. One thing I did notice is that a lot of us seem to disperse our troops in drips and drabs. I'm most successful with attacks when I send in my giants first with a heal spell. I then send in my wall breakers. While most of the enemies defenses are concentrated on the giants, I then release my archers and wizards, kind of release everything else behind the giants. Guys, high level wizards kick ass!!!! Not only do they destroy anything in the enemy's clan castle but they pretty much destroy everything else as well. It's just a suggestion. I very rarely lose a battle anymore since I went to the wizards.

 

As for defense, my suggestion is to try and have your clan castle as close to the center of your village as possible, along with your TH. I see some of you have the clan castle near the outer edge of your village and that's just way to ease to draw them out and destroy them.

 

I hope this helps some of you and if I'm in the wrong, just tell me to shut the fuck up!! Hopefully, the next war will be different.

[tronic44 3,642]

Spot on dude!

 

I watched some guy yesterday completely destroy a dragon with a few archers and 4 wizards, i'm definitely going to start to use them! I've tried them before but they always seem to get merked far too easily.

 

I definitely need to sit down and sort my village out, although i rarely get 3 starred. I did this time but that's because the dude dropped about 7 dragons on my face  Don't think anyone's village is ready for that!

[kylebees 242]

Yeah, the guy the 2 starred me sent in 22 level 6 giants or something like that, along with an archer and high level king. Lower level villages are no defense against enemies with that type of arsenal.

 

 

Edit: That would be 29 level 6 giants, 13 level 5 wizards, 8 level 5 wall breakers, 31 level 6 archers and both his king and queen were level 5. Holy shit!! and he still only 2 starred me. Bitch!!!

It's Auptyk Time!!!

Tommy, I'm not bothered, none of the guys here are bothered, Chris (Tiger) will give you some slaps probably but that's par for the course - if you're having a good time then that's fine, keep at it

 

I'm not exactly brilliant at this either, I get fumble fingers and hit the wrong symbol and stuff. I'm gonna give Bees wizards a try out over the next few days

[kylebees 242]

Only issue with wizards, they take 8 minutes to make and if you're using a bunch, it seems like forever. I have no issue giving them if wanted for a clan castle. I once got destroyed on an attack. I sent in my giants and the enemy had level 6 wizards in his clan castle. I think I only destroyed like 15% of his village before I died. Retarded.

[Plumbers Crack 4,067]

Also, for the benefit of myself and Bees, could you guys post up the preferred days/times for starting a war.

 

Also, feedback on targets/strategy please - is taking the suggested target in the first round like we did last time better? Given the time zone differences should we wait until most people have played round 1 before we go free-for-all on round 2

 

Given that you can't "opt out" of a war, perhaps we should make more use of the forum to post up if we can't play for any reason so we can get a feel for, say leaving some lower level targets for our "lower" ranks (only way I could think of describing it) to have a pop at or trying to mop them up early

 

Any thoughts guys?

[tronic44 3,642]

They do take far too long but i can see why! Never even thought about having some sat in my castle but i still think a dragon is much harder to kill. Definitely need to use them more though because they do so much damage!

[TigerBurge 2,375]

@Dave as far as strategy I've looked up a lot on YouTube and everyone who seems to be half ass descent keep saying hog riders and wizards are the way to go. High level riders that is.

[BO7H B4RRELS 2,453]

Mondays are best for me.  I work all weekend and feel that if I participate during the weekend, it's rushed.

I'm not a great fan of the pairing off against the respective guy in the opposite clan, reason being the top 5 are usually rock hard, and so we waste 'higher level' attacks against stuff where we have no chance. I appreciate the fairness of giving the guys with lower level troops the chance to attack the lower level enemy, and if they can do well that's a really good strategy, but I think it should be a bit more of a free for all in the middle ranks, so we three star as many people as possible

 

Maybe round 1 should be - top 7 players go against opposition 6 to 10, bottom 8  go against 11 to 15. We have enough failed attacks at the moment that it would'nt leave anyone with no-one to attack

 

Round 2  - improve on what we have by learning from round 1

 

Swapping strategies is also helpful, I'm off to build some wizards which I haven't used for ever

[Jason 1,245]

I've faired pretty well with the hog riders, dragon, lighting spell strategy. It's just expensive as fuck.

[tronic44 3,642]

I need to upgrade my hog riders but keep getting attacked before i can reach 20000.

 

I also agree with Bob, i think we do waste a lot of attacks not knowing if we're even going to get one star. There are some people who have their town hall outside the walls, they're normally guarded by teslas but should still be an easy 1 star for most people. If the opposition have a high leveled person with the town hall outside of the walls, then i think we should let someone who's on a lower level take a pop at getting the 1 star because the chances are that most of us would only get 1 star anyway.

 

Hope that makes sense?

 

Also i don't mind when we game, if the app actually wants to work then i'll be fine to game when ever.

 

Bees!!! Did your app manage to stop fucking up, mine still quits on me all the time?

[Plumbers Crack 4,067]

Agree Rich and the reward is greater I think if a low rank guy takes stars off a high level TH......especially if we win

[TigerBurge 2,375]

Agree with Rich.

[tronic44 3,642]

omg two people have agreed with me! Screen shot time, gona frame this one

 

Last time i had a suggestion we played drop zone, haven't suggested anything since 

[tronic44 3,642]

This app is still closing on me, i literally can't even collect my gold

[kylebees 242]

Rich, what do you play it on? I suggest uninstalling and then reinstall it. If that doesn't work, I hard reset my ipad and that has seemed to do the trick. I hope one of these works.
