just gauging intertest here. I know supercell already has a forum for this, and we dont have the same capacity for posting replays and whatnot here, but I really like the game and figured maybe fellow TLers might enjoy talking about the game here.

This is a work in progress, but I am a mid level town hall 9 and have a fair bit of experience with a lot of difference attack strategies so I thought maybe a guide would be a good place to start? For now this thread can just be a general discussion type deal until I get some content put together.

Mod staff: I dont know if this is copyright infringment or anything like that on supercell given that they already operate an active forum, if it is please close. I dont want to get anybody in trouble.

what is the game?
+ Show Spoiler +
Clash of Clans is a free downloadable game that allows a player to compete with other players by building a base, training an army, and launching attacks against other players. As some social media have labled it, it is a "fremium" game in that spending money, while not essential, will speed along a players progress in the game


how is it played?
+ Show Spoiler +
as mentioned, CoC is played by launching strategic attacks against the bases of other players by training and upgrading troops, as well as building and upgrading the defensive structures of one's own base. There are sublte strategic elements to the game; troops are slaves to their ai, which means that once deployed, the player has no control over where the troops will go. Most troops are programmed to bash the enemy structure that it is closest to, others target defensive structures first or target enemy loot (gold and elixer) first. This leads to no one attack being similar to another: because every base is different, the AI of every attack will yeild different results.

Yeah once you hit a certain point each upgrade takes like 5+ days, a couple of friends stopped playing for that same reason

Surprised there wasn't a thread on this already. I spent about 40$ on this game, played for almost a year. I feel I got pretty good value out of my money spent. I spent it on unlocking my builders and for a few speed ups (mostly because I had a ton of either gold/elixer/DE that made me a sitting duck, so I wanted to free up a builder so I wouldn't lose all my stored up resources). Most of the time though I just let the buildings/research finish. Right now pekka level 3 upgrade takes a total of 12 days and its not a big deal.

I don't like how they keep nerfing barching in the patches, because that's my go to for farming. Ugh. TH 9 upgrade completes in a few days. I've maxed all my TH8 buildings/research except collectors to 12 (don't really rely on them), dark rax troop upgrades (hero is currently upgrading to max level 10) and walls (I need about 139 more lvl 8 walls). Since there is a gem boost discount on rax, spell fact, hero these few days, I'm gonna try to upgrade most of my walls before TH9 completes.

Not sure what I'll do once TH9 but I imagine I'll immediately upgrade my lab so I can get level 6 barchers, my camps so I can barch better, and then start saving up for some xbows once I've built out the extra lvl 1 defenses I unlock

Nice, good job on your th8. Seems like we are pretty close.

I agree on the barching nerfs, that 4th mortar is killing me. A few minions help, mine are lvl 5 and they add a little more firepower to an underpowered composition

I'm almost done with th9, just have to farm 7m gold (eek) for my second lvl 3 xbow-- going to try to get that done while there's the 1 gem boost. Then it's finishing up collectors to 12, and another couple months on walls.

I almost maxed TH9 with skull walls before selling my account (gem prices are ridicilous so theres black market). I liked the game untill everything started to cost millions.

When you start to measure your investment into this game by the weeks. You know that youre investing too much lol.

I took it off notifications for a while now. But occasionally just upgrade my walls when Im bored at school, thats about it.

I've been playing this game for 3 months (give or take a week) and I'm kind of having fun with it. My TH7 upgrade is almost complete. I guess this is the part where the game is actually fun. I have no remaining upgrades, full storages, more than half full clan castle (resourcewise), mines and collectors have been banking for a good time too. My friend tells me to have fun playing while I still can.

You're in the sweet spot for raiding with your army supply, try to max out everything (walls too) before going to th8

How much does this game 'really' cost?
Like hearthstone is a 'free' 400$ game.

It depends on how you play, really. As long as you're patient about upgrading and don't feel the need to upgrade everything all at once, you shouldn't feel pressured to buy gems. They're easy enough to come by in-game by clearing out obstacles consistently and getting achievements, it just all takes a lot of time. If you absolutely must have a strong base and strong army right away once you start playing, well...then who knows how much you could dump into the game for buying gems to speed things up.

You don't have to spend a dime on the game if you are patient, but if you really get into the game than the temptation to speed it along with gems is terrible. But as the guy above me said, if you can resist the urge and stay patient, you'll be just fine and the game will be 100% free.

On my way to TH6.

I like it because I can literally play in 5 minute batches throughout the day instead of investing lots of time sitting down to play for an hour or two all in one shot.

Losing battles is also really forgiving. Until I'm Th9/10 I really don't care all that much about ranking anyway, it's all about farming dat money to upgrade my base for now.
Teamwork is awesome... As long as your team is doing all the work!

Actively played this game since May 2014. Its been a fantastic mobile game for me. I have a lot of down time at work which makes this a perfect time killer for me.

My current clan is top notch- we war twice a week and our record is 51 wins 8 losses.

HIGHLY recommend this game!

It really depends. I spent 40$ on it so far. I might drop another 5$ in the future. The big usage of gems is to gem your resources to full and to gem your buildings to completion, and those are the most expensive. I don't use those. I save my gems for when there are bonuses to collectors or barracks (like right now), or once in a while I'll spend 40-50 gems to complete a structure so I can immediately start on another. If you have the patience to wait 10+ days for an upgrade or building to complete, then the game is free. I've got no problem with that but I imagine a lot of the kids who play the game are young and impatient.

Funny story. We played this clan persian club. They seemed to be from the middle east because their names were all in arabic. And we were winning like 24-0 in the 10v10. At the last 5 minutes, they mass dragoned all our stuff and won the game. One member of our clan actually rage quit as a result. We were speculating they must have been arabian princes who had vast wealth to gem their army instantaneously at the last minute and pwn us and they go around pwning/trolling people for the lulz. Even though we got owned, that was my favorite clan war ever!

oh also trophies do matter in that I find that you need to be around gold 3 to find bases with lots of DE (500-1k per attack). that was my experience at th8. now that i'm th9, i can't afford to go any lower. otherwise you have to hit next way too many times.
