Raev Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm so frustrated with the wars lately. Before I lost access for 6 weeks I did great in the wars. Now it seems like the only way I can get 2-3 stars is to hit way below my weight class. Quote level 4 Gnoll warrior STR 6|DEX 5|STA 4|CON 5|WIS 5|CHA 2 Building a better Raev, part 1.

Rooks Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I hear all of you guys. Like I was saying on the last page, I feel like we just been getting screwed lately with who we get matched up against. I feel like the Top 3 of that last clan we faced were all tougher than Pete's base, let alone their Top 5 TH9s were all basically fully upgraded for that level. How do you compete with that? Hopefully things turn around soon. I'm not sure what else to do. Quote Link to comment

AlexCold Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 From a work buddy who plays, the word on the street is that there are apps that can allow a clan to only search for certain clans based on parameters they choose. His clan has the same complaint we have and his clan is very involved.Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk Quote Pinterest: Alex's Paleo Wins - Recipes on Pinterest Instagram: alexcold23 MFP: dalex916 Link to comment

cn3wton Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I think if everybody gets at least 1 star on their first attack thats 40 free points. Then everybody can pick off easy pickings to get another star, so thats easily up to 40 more if everyone only 2 stars. Its worth a shot at least.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 The goal has always been to attack only if you are 90% sure you can at least 2 star on attack 1.

Rooks Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Bad news gang. I'm hanging up my clashing shoes. Sat down last night and realized I've been spending a stupid amount of time playing and I should really be focusing on doing some other things right now. Sorry. I have already un-installed the app, but I forgot to leave the clan prior to doing it so if someone wants to boot me, that's cool. If anyone wants to take over the War Log, I'm happy to transfer ownership. Just let me know. Quote Link to comment

Rooks Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 So... I re-installed quick, left the clan, and did one final action I told myself I would do if I ever quit... my final gift to my fellow Clashers. Hopefully you guys find some bases like this. 7 Quote Link to comment

Then everybody can pick off easy pickings to get another star, so thats easily up to 40 more if everyone only 2 stars. Its worth a shot at least.But bases are ranked by defense strength, the recommended targets are given by troop strength (right? I'm pretty sure?) So, my base is ranked #7 or so right now because I've been focusing on defensive upgrades recently, but my rec is usually in the teens.But I'll roll with majority opinion here, if you guys will help me with strategy on war day!(I still think it'd be good to let lower level players go first, more or less, so that if someone gets no stars, everyone else can attack down a level, and ultimately probably get a few more stars.) 1 Quote Link to comment
petefeet Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I agree with cavebear, I think the lower players (based off WAR RANKINGS not trophies) should be allowed to go first.Then in the last 6-8 hours of war those of us ranked 1-10? 1-15? 1-20? attack.I disagree with attacking mirror ranking because I KNOW I couldn't 1 star their #1 in the last war, not every close. I don't think I could have done any better with their top 5.Just my opinion. 2 Quote Race: Halfling Class: Rebel Recruit 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th Current Challenge Writer's Guild Fictionfirst Used Books (Feel free to like my page!)

Br0din Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I like the attack what you can win strategy. I 2nd the let the lower players get theirs first.

petefeet Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hey kids, Have we come to any discussions about how we're going to organize this war? or are we going to try? will there be a clan mail? Just wondering, I'm in favor of the 1-10 (war rankings) waiting til the last 6-8 hours of war so some of our more junior members can hit target within their reach. Just seems more fun for everyone that way imo.

Just seems more fun for everyone that way imo.I'm not picky, either way works for me. I tend to wait till the end of war at the moment anyway. I wouldn't mind trying something different just to see how well it works though... Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!
