Wow...anyone who puts that much effort into a war attack deserves 3 stars...lol
I just look at the enemy base for a few minutes then attack it ;)

Hopefully for you the game will allow you to mod your war Attacks again otherwise you will be quite crushed.

argument? for what? you lose! yet AGAIN! go cry in a corner somewhere, just be quiet about it.

Here's my idea, put out your criticism:

While SC made it clear the attacks wouldn't burn trophies or resources and you won't waste your army, a very obvious counter is to make it burn resources and use up your army. With the new cook times, making up a goho or gowipe to practice on a clanmate will only take 40-50 minutes so it's not like its going to take you 2 hours to make up a practice army if you're just trying to have fun. But those 50 minutes are a very long time if you're trying to practice for a war base over and over. While everyone screams the feature is the devil inherently we just need some tweaks. So,

• Use up your army on a friendly challenge. This will alone cut the amount of attacks able to be used exponentially.
• Set an hour cooldown per player v player match. Like if I attack my leader, I can't attack him again for an hour (just an example, any time could be used)

These two suggestions would pretty much squash any way of even elite war clans being able to use it abusively. The cooldown is obviously to counter the use of gems for armies. Thoughts?

I'm still on fence if there needs to be solutions yet. There has been things pointed out that make trying to sandbox a base pretty impractical and inaccurate.

to list some...
-Your friend needs to have similar hero levels to war target
-similar building levels
-a base needs to be pretty predictable so you can have a good idea where the traps are
-having to build a base every two days
-Having to build said new base with friend who needs to be online and such to coordinate.

There are also some positives that come from this that I considered...
-The obvious one of course practice
-Faster new base and new army comp trends
-Building better bases to counter whatever the meta may be at that time, and a counter that counter and so on.
-Faster detection of AI issues, and other bugs so they can be fixed.
-Overall fun with clan mates.

There may be more negatives and positives but let's try and be objective and not be clouded by how sour modders have made us.

I must be one of the few people excited to post troll bases for my clan mates.

Its been a while since i came here. Just wanna ask. Is hero available during war if we upgrade level just like everyone ask long long time ago? If not.. sc will continue to fix things that doesnt need to be fix.. and will screw up more on this game.

Who is this "they"? Only your clan members can attack you, so where do scouts come in? Maybe you need to reread your post and enlighten me.

A ton of people wanted to mod as well. Just because people want it doesn't mean it is good for the game. All this is going to do is push a dying game over the edge. I guess then SC can focus on Clash Royale tho. Maybe that's what they want.

It was the same for the December 15 uproar. That time I was among the complainers. Now I'll just relax and keep my judgement for the time the update is actually there. I don't see how it would change my gameplay at all.

Love this feature! No doubt, coc will be lot more active... can't wait for the new update! :)

I can, without a doubt, say that th9 is basically meaningless now. Yeah you don't know exactly where all the traps are but that doesn't mean you can't account for that. There's only so many spots for things like giant bombs to stop hog raids and you can simulate them all if you have time. Plus I once designed a base that plenty of surgical hoggers had trouble with, even with the extra 30 seconds. They'd try ridiculously complicated attacks but would usually either make bacon or fail to take out the queen. Then all of a sudden some guys litter ally just spammed his hogs somewhere, just barely managed
