Hey it's HZ 23 here. Just joined the Riverbears clan and already loving it. Looking forward to meeting everyone in the community. All hail THOR!!!
Hi this is xtl just posting something on your guys forums......
All hail Thor!!!!
Apparently i was kicked out of cave bears soon after joining. I have no idea why but my internet died and i had to brush my teeth so maybe they asked me a question and i didn't answer. If this mistake I've done is permanent then don't accept me back but i would still like to know how.( Also btw i couldnt find your cavebears thread)
Regards:D,

Riverbears sounds like a great family to join. Lots of active members with good core values... Just sent a request to join and looking forward to an invite.
"Rich the Great"
Fellow bears!
Most of us have decided to serve THOR by "collecting" resources as fast as possible and thereby growing
our strength as fast as possible. We are not overly distracted by the false charms of high trophy count
and the misleading perception of stength that it creats amongst those weak in imagination.
(Most of us would likely have kicked Jorge Yao from his thrown if we had time for such nonsense or at least saw sufficient
return-on-invest ... I for example was just busy lately :-) ...Players whose name ends in "...The Great" might see that differntly)
However, we position ourselves in a "trophy range" that allows us to be matched with prey that offers us
a good "return on invest" in terms of resources available to us versus the amount of elix that we need to
deploy to the battlefield.
The cost of our armies is largely depending on the level of troops that our baracks produce and hence it is
observable that in parallel with our own personal evolution we need to attack prey that has a higher offering
in resources (often we assume a full wipe-out of the enemy, but sometimes sufficient resources in outer
collectors is just as good). Consequently there is a tendency that high level farmers choose higher level hunting grounds.
I for example am level 65 with lvl5 giant, brb, arch, wiz lvl 2 healer and my choice was 1300-1400.
The choices we make are mostly based on own experience and reports by fellow bears, about where we
can expect what kind of prey population.
I say that we can throw that historic knowledge over board, because our prey has changed their behaviour.
Most astonishingly our prey also follows some weird thought process to choose themselves a trophy range.
My hypothesis is that the new league system has created incentives for our prey to move up in trophies.
(arguably not much has materially changed, because the incremental gain in "league bonus" is low compared to the base loot,
but relevant for this argument is the prevailing interpretation of the situation amongst our prey)
Unfortunately I have no mathematical evidence.
My guess is that around 1200 trophies everyone is moving up by 100-200 cups.
... and consequently we would need to follow.
Any opinion on that?

P.S. There is nothing wrong with seeking the fun in this game by trying to achieve maximum trophys
... this reasoning is adressed to those that do not seek fun that way (probably "do not seek fun that way yet")
bump simply bump
I think the new trophy range will settle down soon, to the old trophy range. With the reduction in the loot percentage, people will find it harder to find good loot and will panic dropping trophies. At least that's my bet. I dropped my trophies from 1650+ to 1450+ anticipating this. Also, I can live without the 5800 gold and elixir I got at 1650. Karthi.
Thanks for your opinion on this - this type of feedback is what I was hoping for.
I fully agree that the "league bonus" is not big enough to really justify a change in behaviour.
The interesting question is whether the majority of the players see it similarly or whether they do end
up at a different trophy level somehow. I donīt know. My assumption was that they tend to move up, you
seems to lean the other way.... interesting ...
Unfortunately my direct observation is that the available loot "de facto" seems to have decreased for me
(i am at 1450 trophy). It is unclear to me so far whether that is a result of a move of prey population or a mere reflection of supercells changes to the "available loot"-formula that is said to better protect storages.
At the same time upgrading collectors has been made easier by SC ... I observe a slight shift in
the game balance here - probably intended by supercell to push the resource collectors, whose relevance
was marginal so far (and still is).
