WAR - In-game base calling/reserving

Despite being appreciative of sites like clashcaller, calling bases via third-party apps and websites isn't an ideal solution.

Calling war bases in-game would allow clans to manage their wars more effectively, and means troops can be cooked for a specific base without the concern that it'll be taken by someone else. My clan has been using caller for a long time, and it's positively influenced our war results, big time. What we really want though, is to be able to do it in-game.

Something similar to the opt in/out button would work a treat, with the option for leaders to assign bases.

I'm surprised it hasn't already been implemented.

This would be a great tool!

Would make wars ridiculously more organised! :thumbsup:

would it lock in control over this base so no one else can attack it? if the answer to this is no, add it. if no one else can attack it, it is far to exploitable for screwing up your own clan.

Just noticed the similar threads below, this is obviously a regular request.

Agreed - would be wrong to have it locked down - just the ability to see what people are cooking for essentially

Hi Bman, no I'd like to see it as a 'reserving' note, not locked down.

I say if a base is called, a notification will come up if someone wants to attack it who hasn't called it yet and the leader can decide "yes" or "no" he can attack it. It is a popular request and something hard to implement though

I personally wouldn't want it to be too complicated, just let a few people stack calls on bases (up to 2), just to show the order of attacks and who's got it covered next, if it goes wrong.

Just something that mimics clashcaller. Doesn't mean that the base can't be attacked by anyone, but no one in your clan should be doing that if they respect the system, and if they don't, they need the boot. LOL

I completely agree. Just being able to stick my name beside a couple of bases so people know what I'm thinking of attacking would be so helpful. The system doesn't need to do anything else. Other clashcaller features, such as timers, notes, whatever are nice, but almost irrelevant compared to the ability to tag bases.

There are tons of ways to do this through other tools or websites, supercell doesn't need to add their own version of it.

What people are saying is that it would be convenient and make life easier. In other words, they don't want to do this through other means, and whilst the tools outside the game are valuable and good - they are irrefutable proof of such a requirement.

Just because it hasn't been implemented by Supercell within the game, doesn't mean it isn't a worthwhile idea. What Supercell 'needs' to do is act upon the interests of the players, based on proper research; such as objective forum posts where people take the time to suggest new features.

Sure, we sometimes use Clashcaller, but it's way more clunky. If using Clashcaller the process goes something like...

Switch to caller. Start looking at the sort of area I would usually target. #10 is called. Try next. #11 is free
Switch back to clash. Wait for it to go through loading sequence. Look at #11. Not my style of base at all; we have other attackers who like that layout.
Switch to caller. Next base #12 is 3*ed. Next base #13 is called. Next base #14 is free.
Switch back to clash. Wait for it to go through loading sequence. Look at #14. Hmm a bit weak. I could do it, but maybe I'm wasting my attack and someone weaker could do it. So possible, but not great. What about higher?
Switch back to caller. #9 is called. #8 is free.
Switch back to clash. Wait for it to go through loading sequence. #8 looks possible, but not totally confident. Another possible.
And then notice that #10 has been 1*ed. Isn't that the person who called it?
Switch back to caller. Yep, he didn't fill in the result. Must be sulking at the 1*. Fill in the result.
Switch back to clash to scout #10 properly. Wait for it to go through loading sequence. Yep, that could suit me.
Switch back to caller. Call #10.
Switch back to clash. Wait for it to go through loading sequence. Start training troops.

OTOH if the calls appeared on the clash war screen it would go:
#8 free. Maybe hard; but possible. #9 called. #10 has a name beside it, but he's attacked... looks OK, very possible target. #11, not my style. #12,#13 not available. #14 looks a bit weak. So... #10 it is. Put my name beside it; train troops.

So much easier for a fairly minimal feature inside Clash.
