I was thinking about it and maybe we are expecting too much from our non 2p2 clan mates.

They aren't strategically minded; I doubt they are reviewing their attacks and making adjustments.

How much planning are they doing? We should probably just lower our standards.

We definitely are. My whole premise is we have. 18 strong. I'm not results oriented at all or I would already be gone . I'm in this for the long hall along with brock, don, and crybsbies

We just need to find 2 more loyal players

I wanted to be one of them but I guess my constructive criticism was taken the wrong way. Gl boys

Im th 7 with ~48exp and 1200 trophys. Look me up under Strong and loyal (Blue and yellow flame shield)and let me know.

Welcome to the club.

We try to communicate regarding war and who to attack in the chat as much as possible. Requests outside of war are archers, even though the language will be often strange. During war be specific in what you need. Gogogogo

Thanks. In war I try to stay 1-2 bases above or below my base number

tthree, what's your sn? Are you markinator?

Omar,

Markinator is markopolo

Cool, gotta know who I'm giving these balloons to

Balloons 2 in 3 h

I'm omar

I have balloon 4 fwiw

Hogs+healing spells = unstoppable

Log in for a war attack before bed, request war drag, get insta shipped 5 gobs. Good night all....

Yeah, our reading comprehension sucks sometimes.

I'll be on in the AM pst, just shoot a quick message before you request war troops to make sure it goes smooth.

I'm at the point where farming has become difficult comparatively. Th8 and 1450 trophies.

Do i stick with the basic eco troops our have higher level players needed to make an adjustment?

I wish we could post screen shots in clan chat

i'm mid th8 or so and i'm still rolling with barch. i'm at about 1800-2k trophy range though, mostly for DE, but i find gold still comes in pretty well here. I imagine that gold would be slightly better/easier at a lower trophy level but only by a little, and at the expense of basically all the DE income.

Certain times of day things are more dry than others, but i am probably able to average 150k gold or better per attack. If i see a town hall outside the base i usually nab that. I also lightning for DE - i fairly regularly come across a base with 3k available in storage, 3x lightning gives me 1k of it. and i get a good amount from collectors too.

Huge update today:

http://www.gamezone.com/news/2014/07...notes-detailed

Thoughts on some of the most notable changes:

-- Heroes no longer follow enemy troops once they're alerted. They only attack in their specified range and will retreat if lured. That's a huge buff for defenses. It brings a lot more strategy to attacks, especially at the higher levels. Not sure how I feel about this. The game seems tipped toward defense already, but it will allow for more freedom in base design because you no longer have to protect Heroes as much. They also tweaked the Heroes' damage and health. Activating special abilities heals them now.

-- They pretty much killed the brainless mass-Hog attacks. Although they nerfed the Inferno Towers' multi mode, Giant Bombs now do double damage to Hogs. That gives every base designer with a pulse a fighting chance -- even on the low levels.

-- Valks can now attack multiple targets. I haven't upgraded them at all, so this is annoying. They'll probably be super powerful for a month or two, then get nerfed (just like Witches and Hogs did).

-- Jump spell got a major buff. I never use this spell, but it could become a significant tactical weapon if I'm reading the update right. It sounds like troops will now move toward the spell area. If that's the case, then attackers may -- for the first time ever -- have a way to steer troops away and toward specific areas of an enemy base (kind of like the flare in Boom Beach). We'll have to see how this plays out.

Sick^^

the bomb damage increase towards hog riders is 1.5 actually. still enough to destroy them tho, the hog + healing spell attacks were unstoppable

Meh, they were on their way out. They were useless against Infernos with the multi option after the healing nerf, and most TH9s had already figured out how to defend against them after a few weeks of wars.

This update just made it official.

I have only been able to watch one live battle so far. Do you have to be there from the beginning?

New Valks are really good. Roughly equal to the old level 4 ones right at level 1
