I know we need to build a war base during preparation day and a snapshot will be taken.
My question is do we take the snapshot, if so fine.
If Supercell take the snapshot, then how do know when it it will be taken?
Building a war base to protect the town hall means storage's and collectors are going to be sacrificed, surely sitting on a war base for a day leaves us vulnerable to losing huge amounts of loot while we wait!

During preparation day, your war base will automatically rearrange to match your village layout. If you want to rearrange your war base, just rearrange your regular village. Be aware that your war base can not be rearranged after preparation day has ended,
EDIT : It means that during first day of clan wars, there will be a timer. If u rearrange your base when there is just 1 hour left, that will work out better. When the timer hits 0, that's when they take the 'snapshot'
Can we save bases?Quote:

If we could this would save soo much time!
Are you trying to point out a flaw in something you have not seen yet?Quote:

There is a thread on the first 2 pages that was locked a little over an hour ago about this.
Not yet but clan wars will make it a mandatory update in near future.Quote:

Aha, well we will probably get used to our layouts and know them nearly off by heart when they do bring this out :P. It's okay though, i'll just stick to a hybrid for now!Quote:

As I don't play 24/7, and have full storage's it's looking like I may be sitting clan wars out for a few weeks, till I see how it pans out.
I will make a base with quick interchangeable core. like easily swap Th in and out but basic layout stays. Will save a lot of trouble rearranging the base. Lets see how it works out :PQuote:

best solution is to got for a base which you can easily edit and swap TH in and out with ease. ( Anti hog base for an example )
Or any base with a huge core.
Yawn :rolleyes:Quote:

I see what you're saying, and that's what I've got at the moment, but my thinking is, as we don't actually lose our own resources during the war, then using storage's, mines and collectors and none defensive buildings as bulkheads to hold troops in the firing line longer would make sense, but it would be a risky strategy while you waited for a snap shot.Quote:

I asked a genuine question and made a comment about gems, I'm not complaining or whining about it, nothing positive to contribute, then move on, have a nice day :)

Going offline with that layout is gonna be a DISASTER.
Maybe some people will change layouts and go offline. yay for more loot XDDDD
To me his posts are negative speculations thus far. Speaking more towards what is possibly wrong with CW rather than just looking to get a question answered, and it has not been released yet.Quote:

Again, you also read it wrong. I understand the quick reading but i will clarify it for his case. ( no offense. Mistakes happen :p )Quote:

hope this clarifies it?
Thanks GooseFraba, that's it exactly.Quote:

On the flip side it could make for good farming.

well, i'll always set an alarm XD
Ye it could add another dimension in for farming which is always good.Quote:

Any Sooner will just result his new layout being raided badly by farmers because of his storages on the outskirts.
But on the hybrid base part, that has been suggested already and yes, that's the only way around for him.
Where are you getting 2 hours from? My understanding of CW and the prep time is as follows:
1) clan goes to war at 10:00am.
2) your current base setup is immediately copied and made into a war base.
3) you now have up to 24 hours to make any changes to your war base that you want (like putting storages near the edge) and during this 24 hour prep time you need to fill your war clan castle with troops for defense that will later be auto-replenished after you are attacked.
4. 24 hours has passed, it's now 10:00am the next day, you can now be attacked over the next 24 hours and you can do your 2 attacks during this time period as well.
5. It's now 10:00am the next day. Clan wars has ended, the clan with the most total stars gets a substantial amount of loot an the losing clan gets a tiny amount of loot. You can now declare a new war and re-start the process.
Is there something i am missing? I don't see where a 1 or 2 hour window will come into play?
I think he is asking, does your "normal base" copy into the war arena as soon as you get match for the clan wars or at the end of the 24hrs.
If it is at the start of the 24hours then great you have loads of time to change layout and prepare
If it is at the end of 24hours then if you change to your war base at the beginning then it is likely to mean your storages will be easily farmed or your other option is to set an alarm an hour or so before the 24 hours is up to change to your war base then back again.

Edit : i edited it with more info.
War base is separate from village after it is copied. Any changes to war base are not reflected to village.Quote:

Edit : This means your normal village is linked to War base until the prep day is over. THEN it's copied permanently.
Till then whatever changes you make in your normal village will directly result in changes into the war base.
This is where his concern comes in. What if he can't login just few hours before his base is Permanently copied. i.e just before the prep day ends.
This leaves him no choice but to make changes earlier and that resulting his base being left exposed to the farmers.
Exactly. It makes a copy and you can change the war base any time during the 24 hours without effecting your village. The only reason you might want to change your base at the last minute is to give your opponents less time to scout your base and devise an attack strategy.Quote:
