While I like this idea very much I'm guessing Supersell won't implement it. It would be a revenue loser for them.

You know what else could be a "revenue loser"? Hordes of people quitting at TH9 because they get bored out of their skulls opting out of war during the already incredibly painful hero grind. Just sayin...

Many have done what, the hero grind? I'm 1 level away from 40/40 heroes. Doesn't change the fact that many people only play this game for war, and lose interest during the hero grind as they must miss out on the most enjoyable aspect of the game. Not to mention the reduced enjoyment of many war clans only being able to do small, less entertaining wars as half their clan is opted out for hero upgrades.

I keep hearing claims that allowing heroes in war will lose SC a ton of revenue.

My only point is, perhaps making the game more enjoyable may counter that revenue loss.

I'm going to leave this here as I don't think we really need another "lopsided base" thread. Here is a link to a thread posted by lach last year that has a breakdown of an interview done with Jonas.

Use the 21:16 link in Lach's original post. This takes you to the segment in regards to lopsided bases. I don't want to read into too much but I think this whole lopsided base thing has been a topic of discussion for the Dev team for awhile.

You only need to watch a couple minutes from 21:16 and I think you'll see what I mean.

great blast from the past Smolson.

Of note, Jonas calls these accounts "lopsided" at that time, and stresses the importance of having balanced offense AND defense.

My favorite part of that interview, and it's ALWAYS been my favorite part is when Jonas offers advice to people with defenseless accounts:
"For other people who are in this weird spot, my best advise is, you know, just start building your defenses."

Priceless :)

Edit: I also really liked, "you know, 1000 gold for a cannon, that's not going to break the bank..."

Thanks for all the info lach
Very much appreciated

Hear hear! I am incredibly bored with clash right now. Trying to save up in th9 for next hero upgrade, getting attacked every time a shield runs out. Just not fun during the long grind. Everything else is maxed except walls (another long grind).

Do you know what's sad about that post. It's almost been a year since then. And they were talking about the "future of clan wars" then! Overdue updates are overdue..........

so was it some reverse psychology?
he says one thing then publishes an update that rewards the opposite ("lopsided") even further?

i like this jonas guy. he should be in politics
wonder what he'll say / do next
