I'm saving up to build the clan castle, upgrading my TH to level 5 now too. All in one day bitches

[Duke Castile]

Another great feature of the clan castle is the live chat feature.

Its not all about barbarians at PetShopFinders

[Apollo]

I have kept my Town Hall down to 3 and have upgraded nearly everything else as high (4/5) as I could. I will hopefully be looking to get that Clan Castle up in a day or two after all my current upgrades are complete.

Great suggestion, Fisto. I'm having an unexpectedly fun time with this game.

[R Smoov]

Damn it takes forever to like build your village right

[Enigma]

Ok, I just requested to join the clan

Only 8 hours until my shield is done.

[Duke Castile]

You're in

[bojangles]

got another shield damn it, been raided 5 times, defended 3, lost 2.

[BadWolf]

How to kill off the mortars? I have archers and the regular soldiers and I still get my ass kicked no matter where I place them.

[weambulance]

Giants target defenses preferentially, and they can also be used as tanks to get the mortar's attention while you drop other troops elsewhere. If you don't have giants yet, you have to find bases where you can drop your troops really close to the mortar because it can't fire at troops right next to it. If I can't get troops to the mortar right away, or I can't do significant damage out of range of the mortar, I skip the base. Not worth losing an army.

In multiplayer be really selective about what bases you attack, because your army isn't going to be well suited to every set of defenses, and in single player you can't do that many maps at lower levels. I got up to M is for Mortar, the first single player map with mortars, and decided to come back when I have at least wall breakers or maybe just dump 12 giants because anything else won't get one star and I'll just waste resources. I'm almost completely upgraded at town hall 3, for reference, with about 3 hours left until town hall 4 is done.

[bojangles]

I use the Giants too because they just attack cannons and mortars whilst my archers and warriors plunder.

[AntiTrace]

give me a few days and im in

[bojangles]

Alright I've applied to the clan

[samsamsam]

Boom still one day to go with shield.

Just built the clan thing and applied.

I am just not sure what to build next. You guys like labs? It makes sense to me stronger troops are a good thing.

[Slim Shady]

Get on the Lab. Troops that might seem useless at first, become highly effective at the higher levels. For example, Wizards are initially a waste of time at first. Take too long to train, have a high cost, and also take a long time between each 'zap' they attack with, getting killed off easily. At level 5 though, they are dynamite.

The spell factory also becomes essential.

[Enigma]

I think I built the lab too early though. The thing is, it costs 25,000 elixir just to build and another 50,000 just to upgrade one kind of troop a single level. Just doesn't seem worth it early in the game where that's going to wipe out your entire reserve.

One question I have is why do on some raids, you'll still get to keep some of the troops you deployed? Yet others I lose every troop, even though a majority of them didn't die in battle.

[Slim Shady]

No you lose ALL the troops you have deployed every time. Even if they do not die in battle. I think you might have some extra troops training in your barracks when you go on a raid, which you might have mistaken for surviving troops.

[bojangles]

I've got the lab and upgraded warriors

[Mac Chicken]

I play Star Wars Commander, it is almost the same as Clash of Clans but ala Star Wars you have to chose if you are the empire or the rebel, you can have spaceship such as the x-wing which it is quite cool. I recommend it if you like Clash of Clan.

Anyway, I started Clash of Clan after reading this thread (thanks Fisto), I for the moment focus on develop my ressources and farming, I'll join the clan as soon as my Clan Castle is repaired.

[BadWolf]

Star Wars is better than sex. Holy Sh1t thank you so much for posting this Chicken, this game is amazing. Its just like COC but Star Wars.

[Mentavious]

How are guys saving up for the lab??? I'm at Th 3 though...

[weambulance]

The hard part about getting the lab is increasing storage size; by the time you have the 25000+ storage capacity it should be easy to raid for 25000 elixir.

[BadWolf]

Hey can someone add me to the clan?

[Duke Castile]

Badwolf whats your name on coc?

[BadWolf]

badwolf lowercase. Sent a message out yesterday.
