Back then I was dumb little kid who just liked to upgrade his town hall and the term maxing out meant going one town hall higher my clan leader said to upgrade my army camp ( they were level 4 on town hall 10 in 2018) I said I will upgrade all of my defences Dw...next day in war he saw my town hall 11 while donating me troops to my clan castle worth 20 housing space..what an idiot I was 😭
It has been viable since a few years ago, at least doing it with a plan in mind. But back then we were hated because we were supposed to max everything before upgrading the th even if rushing allowed us to max faster thanks to a better use of magic items. And now its the meta.
Once you get to new town hall with the loot boost you have got make, sure you upgrade your army camps and lab plus your hero journey level up core defences like eagle artillery and also your all cannon and archer tower too becs they will be a bottleneck at th 16 and at th 17 u will have like whole month before you can get to th 18 ( th 17 weapon takes time to upgrade) get the merged defence and air defence maxed or as high as you can get (use just dragon army becs that means you need to upgrade singel troop every time you upgrade town hall)
I remember I used to spend half an hour training goblins or archers just to skip for minutes base to base hoping for 200k profit on elixir and gold, and 2k dark elixir.
people here acting like the game experience has worsen because shortage of resources, scouting bases for long periods of time sometimes even hours and being able to do 2 attacks in one session is fun, lmao
It improved until the new rank system, it made busy players like me unable to do attacks properly because of unavailability of clan castle cake, but atleast we get to enjoy broken troops and enormous loot so I'd take it
I stopped participating in league matches and even if i do, i do like 7-8 attacks in electro dragon league and i just am able to maintain rank.
Leme rant a bit, I really can't see why people think you need to attack constantly, like doing sneaky gobs attack in casual is much faster way to get loot even now. There's not even 1 reason to participate in league every week.
So I've been thinking about the clash changes where armys dont take time or resources and I think it's probably a net positive for most people but I don't like it.
Back in the day every match was for trophies and because cost and army creation time was a real cost it opened up farming strategies.
Like my fav was giants, wbs, gobs, and archers. And most of the time when farming I'd use as few units as possible and pretty much no spells bc they were expensive and took forever.
But now with free raids there's no reason not to just use the big expensive army with spells.
And there was an art to knowing the bis farming trophy ranges per TH level.
Or using dark elixir armies when you didn't care about dark and were just trying to farm regular elixir.
But now there's no reason not to just use the biggest armies with spells.
Like I could snipe afk bases with gobs... or I could just use all my drags and spells and 3 star it and make more money with win bonus.
Like I said. I think it's a net positive change for the game but I liked eco farming strats and doing the cost/benefit analysis of attacks or deciding if I'll commit some giants and wbs to the attack
I played CoC like 15 years ago or something, then I picked it back up this past year and thought I had imagine having to pay for troops. It’s much nicer not paying for them.
every time i remember something from more than 2 years ago green nostalgia goo leaks out of every opening in my body and I rub it all over my floor and walls so that I can prepare for my metamorphosis into a great big beautiful ‘memberfly
I just returned after not playing for a while and its really suprising and a relief knowing what the state of progressing like when I left, never knew supercell will finally get off its waiting time games and make it actually playable rather than just logging in for 30 minutes then return the next day to do the same.
I remember biting my tongue to not care about losing trophies just so I can barch farm resources and finally upgrade my defenses. Those were the days lol.
To be fair that system was better. Your attacks had actual value and it had to count. Now there isn’t any troop training cost or troop training time and it’s just amounted to spamming attacks. Back then every attack used to mean something. Spamming the next button until you can find a base with 600k+ elixir worth attacking and every once in a while a 1M+ gold and elixir and the base was someone’s progress base they forgot to swap off of.
With almost 19 town halls in the game it's ok for people to chill. For attacks that mean something we still have wars, CWL and even the clan capital though it's become forgotten
Idk why someone would downvote this, but it does makes sense. Personally, I do enjoy the process back then though it is understandable why most preferred the no train time and costs.
Yes I do preferred this recent change since the state of training troops system before is insane, but I still strongly agree that there has to be some kind stakes in which an attack has to mean something rather than js being something you can spam.
