Have these touch sensitive buttons on my phone right below the screen. Makes this game annoying as fuck sometimes because it will boot me out in the middle of a fucking attack.

I've had that happen to me before as well.
What is the best way to get your trophies up? I'm nearing 550 gems so it's time to get the achievement that gives 450 and get my fourth builder! Should I just use Archers/Barbarians and hunt for towns that have stray Town Halls? Or am I better off to go for 2 or 3 star wins than just 1 stars?

Use a barb/archer (quick) army and go for town halls that are exposed.

Just use barch and poach townhalls.
When you run into a base with a lot of resources try to get two.
I got up to about 1500 at one point doing that at TH7. Though I nuked my ranking to make raiding easier.

Started on my Air Defenses now. That's the last of my defensive buildings.
For those of you who also play Castle Clash, I made an OT:

I figured that was better than discussing it in here, as I have done a couple times in the past. I also might make a Boom Beach OT later.

I am going to close additions soon. Then we can weed out the disinterested or migratory members.
It blew up to 40 before I even noticed.

Just some tips from how we run our clan.
We are assholes. LOL
We have 3 co-leaders who drill into everyone to donate their asses of. Only keep the good donators and active communicators. Don't be afraid to boot. Don't lower the trophies to get someone's "friend" in. Be strict with giving out elders to make people strive for it.
In the end, you get a clan that is active and is full of die-hards. when you request troops its filled within 5 seconds.
My clan has pretty strict, but easy to follow rules:
- Only donate level 4 troops to farm requests unless otherwise specified (dragons welcome). We understand a Th 6 can't donate. We never look down on people who request a lot. Purp is cheap.
- Level 5 in war CC only.
- 2 wars/week, use all 4 attacks. If you do, you get elder
- Rule of thumb: In war, choose targets within +/- 5 ranks that you can definitely 100% 3 star. If you can't then you can expand that limit. Always go for the highest possible 3 star you can achieve.
- If you donate a shit-ton of troops consistently (>1,000/cycle), you get co-leader.
- Miss an attack, lose a rank. (co-leader to elder, elder to member, member to booted)
****Ranks in this game are stupid as shit. As long as you aren't in a clan of 12 year old babies then I suggest using ranks as activity logs. It shows leadership how active you are and how much you contribute.
Oh an the biggest rule, no rushed Town Halls. IF we see you rushing and you don't make an effort to fix it, then you're out. We are all about winning wars and nothing else.
We have 18 co-leaders and 37 wins. Never an issue with power-trips.

Thats risky.
We've had at least two elders go rogue and start kicking everyone out of the clan. Luckily we caught him within a few minutes.
I don't think so. The people who are serious enough about the game the reach co-leader dont' get mad about the rules we apply to our clan. The only time we have issue with people is after we kick them and they bitch about it on our home forum, something awful. I don't really see another reason to rage boot people.
It's just a poop game and we aren't 12 y/o. Just a bunch of dudes working office jobs grinding out work hours on their phones.
I nevre mentioned that we all post on SA so there is something common sort of holding us together and keeping our behavior in check. You dont' want to get blacklisted from the 6 clans we have.
Just youtube strats. Best way to see what to do. At low levels you just wanna farm until you can make better troops.
My archer,barb,wiz,giant are all level 3.
Giants and Healers are nice at th6. just throw in archers and barbs for the rest and let them tank. I think the heal spell is better, same room for more giants or wizards. Healers are expensive and fragile, but great against bad AD placement.

Yeah th7 is where the fun begins.
Get them dragons up ASAP. They rape TH7s and early TH8s
Was trying to get there, kept getting attacked, now upgrading everything I can before I go up to TH7. Such a long painful wait.

Lost a 50v50 war today, 128-124.
The dream is over. Had to boot a few people for inactivity. Not getting all 100 attacks is a sin.

I upgraded almost everything other than walls, one Camp and a few spell levels! Took me a while though.

Supercell dashboard was hacked earlier this year, and it showed a daily income of 5,25 million, and 29 million daily players for their 3 games, of which CoC is by far most popular. CoC has been gaining globally, so it should be far more now.
We will know soon, since in Finland even private companies must reveal their finances. I expect income over 2 billion for this year.
Ah. Is there a limited amount of gems you earn in-game without buying them?
Wafflecakes
Member
Well that's good to hear. I hated how in Brave Frontier for example now there is a limited amount of gems to get there (unless you do the events and stuff...or get really lucky with the RNG every time you login).
Wafflecakes
Member
Well it is limited on how fast you can get them. It is definitely a grind.
...but there is no point where you just won't get any more gems.

How many gems does it take for you to acquire every time the plants spawn?
Wafflecakes
Member
You usually get 0-6 gems per plant your remove. You need 500 to buy a builder.
For Clan war move storages, get Wizard Towers more inside. That will do it.Juuust got to TH6 before this current war - thoughts on what I should aim to upgrade/change with my base?
I would love to get in the clan, but I am already in one that my friend created. Currently upgraded to TH8, been playing for 8 months.

There is absolutely no F2P Wall.
You can accomplish anything int his game if you wait long enough.
A friend of mine had been playing for over a year and never spent a penny and he was very very far along in the game. But here comes my other friend and I and we hit this game like a best and caught up to him within 5 months (we were throwing money at the game.)
The most important thing is to SAVE YOUR GEMS FOR BUILDERS. Nothing else is more worth it.
You can get your 4th builder in a month or so. Which is plenty. But if you want that 5th builder then you prolly gonna have to come out of pocket for that guy. But he's not necessary.

OK right, yeah I guess storages in war don't mean as much.. Cheers mate.
You should join. Good group in the neogaf clan so far
man, reading the first page of this thread is pretty sad lol... people take this game pretty seriously
i've been playing this for a few months.. its fun trying to save up for more workers... i feel bad for people who spend real money on this (probably explains why the dudes on the first page are so bitter lol)
anyway, got no idea what i'm doing - i pretty much tried to rush town hall upgrades, thinking it was like heroes of might and magic, and now i'm getting fucked up left and right.. still fun though, trying to catch up =[
the key is to never spend gems on anything except workers! Almost on my 4th worker building =D

Good to know.
Is there also a guide/walkthrough I could look at for beginners like me? Just so I don't start out with making constant mistakes and screw up in the long term?
