Djemerson v. Hannibal: Mano y Mano

So I came up in Djemerson’s queue this morning and in the spirit of good competition he attacked. (I fully approve of this by the way.) I recorded his attack at work and the video turned out really jittery on the wireless here, but you can get a rough idea below. I’m posting this poor recording because I’m worried that if I wait until the end of the day to save it I’ll lose the attack.

Video here.

I’m going to revenge him later today. I want to do it from home where the wireless won’t jump like this. Dan has said he’s happy to drop his shield any time to enable the attack.

My rules are (1) I have to do this with my standard farming loadout and (2) only one rage spell since that’s what Dan used. For a true revenge I’d probably bring a lightning for his clan castle since it’s central, but I’m going to consider that off limits since it’s not part of my standard loadout and Dan only used the one spell.

If you know where his traps are, don’t post it here. I’m not interested.

This thread is really just for the fun of it. His base obviously uses different design principles than mine. The only thing I really want to comment on right now is that he has his DE clumped centrally with his gold. I specifically don’t do this because of all the lightning attacks I’m getting hit with lately, but as a consequence my DE is much more exposed.

Also, someone asked me yesterday about why I opened up my outer ring. You can see that it worked here, as the giants and barbs circle the inner core rather than attacking it.

Your x-bow is lightning fast...

Great video! I'm excited to see your revenge!

Awesome Hannibal, I look forward to seeing the results! It would best awesome if this were eventually part of the game (ie duels) as many have requested in the ideas sub forum.

Good luck.

Looks like a WB/Rage combo in the future mix with northern or southern entry.

ouch lacked execution sorry dan :/


one light spell could have help u a lot Dan :/ ( i had found u dan many times while climbing up the trophies :) never attack u though ... )



Video very jittery indeed :(


Revenge Go Go :) U will definatelly farm more ... i bet on you Hannibal.... when i was farming i never came up against a forum user ... i wanted to attack illus for the sake of it but never happened :P



@Giants making a hole for giants for a clearer path ( wall breakers )

This is why i love the forums :)

Great Post * thumbs up*

Very nice! Can't wait to see the revenge video! :cool:

Dan.. Was it worth? All of that for the de...

Interesting...but Hannibal, kinda unfair to compare yourself with Dan cause you have maxed out mortars, xbows, archer towers, wiz towers....should i continue? i assume max barbs as well? He only had archers and giants maxed.

Wont be a fair fight but will be interesting nonetheless.

Awesome defense, although the jittery was really really bad. Not sure how many seconds of vid did I miss out lol.

One of the best bases I have seen.. too bad it will be history after the update.

(gets popcorn)

Illustris Jr, Who Enjoys "Clash of Forum Users"

Tried watching the attack but the video is way too crappy. Looking forward for your .. response... ahem, revenge. :rolleyes:

I'm more interested in the rap battle that will surely follow :)

Oh, I'm not trying to paint this as a fair fight. But when was war ever fair? And remember that he threw the first stone!

This particular attack only gets this attention because Dan is such a big forum presence. And he suggested that I make a video of my revenge.

True that...lol...i cant wait to see the video :)

This is very cool. Great idea Hannibal! Although this is exactly why I didn't attempt to attack Elisabella when I saw her in the queue and pretended to be a nice neighbor and gave her a free shield.

Good sports are always hard to find these days - it's refreshing to know that you can both be so mature & chivalrous about it. :)

This little Potato brings mashed potatoes for the revenge party & eagerly awaits the replay from Dan/Hannibal...

Go googol you can do it!

Well hey everyone, as Hannibal mentioned, I came across his base while attacking and gave it a shot :cool:

Seeing his base, and recognizing him I knew that I had to attack, presuming my utter failure I still went for it, just for the fun.

To answer your question, Moe, it was worth it, not for the loot but for the experience of attacking a friend.

And, to you Denial, yes it was a very lack luster performance by me in the strategy department. I have some explanations for this, call them excuses, buts it's what happened. ------ I had an odd army, no WBs today, and of course I didn't have my usual 2 lightnings, 2 rage spells, I just had the rage. I figured it would take too many troops to lure out Han's CC troops so I just pressed into the base, went for my lightning spell, only to discover it wasn't there. My fault for not filling my spell queue last night before I went to sleep. While I was raiding I was falling behind on my notetaking (yes I do the occasional raid in class), and had to rush and deploy my troops faster than I would have liked too (I tend to take up the majority of the battle slowly taking away buildings then slowly sending in waves, which I did in the battle, but it was very rushed, making me more susceptible to Han's high level splash damage defenses).


How I would've liked to attack-

• chip away exterior buildings, like in the video
• send 8 WBs at each point on the NorthWest WB strip, in pairs of two, letting them take out the whole strip
• send all giants in, at the bottom half of the northwest side
• directly after the first mortar blast, send a set of 3 WBs in, to break the exterior wall (aimed between archer tower and cannon
• send a quick wave of barbs and archers
• lightning spell on CC troops, 1-2 depending on how much the troops have dispersed
• then, very quickly after the last few steps two pairs of 2 WBs, assuming one may be killed in a mortar and or wiz tower blast, to break the western inner core (so that the giants will be guided towards the core)
• Place a rage spell, directly between the DE storage and CC
• a wave of barbs and archers right after rage
• immediately after the wave, barbarian king and archer queen
• 10 seconds later, another wave of barbs and archers
• And lastly, about 10 seconds after, a last wave of barbs and archers

I think with this attack I could get Han's DE storage, 2 gold storages, maybe the 3rd or part of it if I'm lucky, and one elixir storage.


Han, the thing you pointed out about my DE storage being next to my Gold storages is an interesting phenomenon. When I had about 1500 DE available to my attackers, I was getting lightning-ed very very frequently, and now when I'm worth the full 2000 DE I'm not getting lightning-ed at all, only once in the last two days. My thoughts on this was everyone was DE hungry, right when the silhouette sneak peak was released, and now everyone has slowed down, or saved up enough DE in their minds for the impending update.

For the revenge, I think all the points you suggested are fair, it's up to you whether you use your heroes, however I did not. I'm for the idea of you not using a lightning, because I think that was one of the huge weak points of my attack (the fact that I didn't have one) and also the 25 lvl6 archers that will be in my CC are a big help on defense. WBs, feel free to use them, I think your 20 that you carry are enough to get to my core. Rage spell, go ahead and use it since I used one. make it an enterntaining battle, I see we've gotten a lot of people excited about this battle.

Hopefully we will have a part two where I can make a more formidable opponent on the offensive :)

Now would that be any fair? :P I have all my traps set though :)

I think no heroes is fine. I am going to use wallbreakers just because I always do. I'm not sure your attack would have been better off with them. I've had people thrown 20+ wbs into this design without breaking the outer ring, although theoretically after 14 you should start getting shots at my outer ring.

I think I know how I want to attack, but you've been around long enough that I suspect you've been attacked this way before. There's a chance I'm being suckered here, but we'll find out later tonight. ;)

Happens to all of us, I've been watching you climb, you are a person I really look up to in terms of cup hunting with average troops, I hope to break 2700 in a month or so when I rise, watching your videos I've seen your attacks are fairly similar to my usual style, even more resembles my old attack strategy, when I was about the same world rank as you, but that was a long long time ago.....

---

Well I'm guessing that the way I described to deploy the wallbreakers, only 8 necessary to nullify that strip, would've worked, and then I would need 7 others to break the core, 5 in a best case scenario

A friend of mine got to 3032 with similar troops but gemmed more aggressively ..i am just boosting spell factory mainly :) ... but still supercell doesnt care about trophies


I have some nice epic fail attacks on me that i ll post them later when i go farm again :)

---

pasquale of Borg and hleong of Q/R are both at 3000+ trophies, using a barb archer attack. I am not sure of what the extent of their gemming is.

Well, each strip is seven tiles long. At two wbs per, that's 14 wbs to break it unless you get the wbs to come alongside the strip. If you're targeting the points I don't think the 0.5 splash tile radius will hit the inner jag of the strip, although you may have more experience with that than me. Does it? I've not had anyone attack my strips directly. You may know some tricks I don't ;)

e: The general attack I get with wbs from the center doesn't result in double-blows of the zig-zag, although perhaps they set up differently from the tangent you're describing.

Well I don't think that the splash is enough, I think that once I take out 4 of the walls, leaving the 3 others standing separated from each other, my WBs will no longer be attracted to them

---

Ahh OK. I wondered at first if that's what you meant. Honestly I'm not sure if that will work or not. I can tell you that when launched from the center, wbs don't get attracted to the outer ring until both strips are entirely gone. It's not enough to remove only a portion. Often wallbreakers still reference off the first (now destroyed) wall tiles even when you change spawn points the way you're describing, but in fairness it's an unusual situation and I'm unsure about it.

I've been thinking you might be able to reset their path finding by dropping a wb In a totally different part of the map once you have nibbled enough away from the spikes to get them to reevaluate the "closest" wall from your original attack. I've not been able to test this theory and it is a few days away from being moot.

arch/barbs is lame if you ask me circle the base and wait...ah yeap u use some light spells too to 50 per cent them haha :)

my trophies would be higher..... the last 20 days i made no profit on gold (still upgrading them :s) and i have to attack only those who return the investment at least 150k/100k which means most of the times less trophies

trophies are ♥♥♥♥♥y some times :<

Yep, I was talking to a few clanmates who tried the strategy, and although it worked, they couldn't do it for long. It took too long to select the right base, and the strategy is no fun, just repetitive, and boring.

This is what I was thinking:

http://i.imgur.com/BKjExhb.jpg

Red: first
Blue: second
Orange: third
Green: shows that distance to wall is shorter than distance to strip, hopefully, taking my WBs to your core

Holy cow, you're carrying a lot of DE. I think I've always dumped mine into an upgrade as soon as I had one available. Doing the 45-50k DE hero upgrades atm.

e: Yeah, and if you do that I think there's a decent chance of success. But I'm pretty sure taking out the strip indicated by red is 14 wbs unless there is something tricky about launching from that angle I'm unaware of.

Once my DE is full I will spend 20k on a barb king upgrade otherwise I'm just trying to save it up so can pump out these new troops for my clanmates (assuming you can donate them).

EPIC!

Hannibal - is it possible to record that attack again from stable connection?

I can't wait to see the results of your revenge - it's ORSM (awesome) to see battles of this caliber :cool:

Nope. The replay is gone now.

I didnt offer much of a battle :( I dropped my cups back down to just above Han though, maybe I'll catch him this time, and we'll have a round two ;). Yes I have 20 WBs, and a light & rage, I'm currently carrying a lvl3 pekka in the CC, both heroes alive and ready. No excuses this time.

EPIC

NB: thx Hannibal

i thought dan was farming, why would he use archers on your town hall? i don't really understand his logic behind the side he attacks from either, that side has two mortars where the other side has one... unless he was more concerned about the dark elixir storage over anything else.

1.) Giving a free shield as common courtesy

2.)

• Hannibal has said that he has experienced the laggy mortars before
• An xbow is located in the outer ring, by killing it faster I extend the lives of my giants, which fall prey to high level xbows
• All the splash damage towers on that side are located directly against the wall, making them easier to kill by archers, while my giants act as meat shields

3.) Nope currently I am not concerned about DE as my storage is near full

fair enough man... i'll be interested to see the revenge attack, your base is a tough nut to crack from the look of it also. shame this new update will render these bases useless with the anti-wallbreaker designs.

it is an unfair battle for this reason - Dan got 30 secs to formulate effective attack plan and using his farm troops - I would have skipped till I had "right" troops. Even more commendable, he consented to the replay being posted here so we could sticky beak!

Hannibal gets to look at Dan's base for as long as he likes to formulate his strategy and of course build the right troops.

I have a serious case of "fangirl" ("maggiepotatoe") going on for these guys.

So please don't critique.

EPIC - as I've never seen anyone from forum and I've looked at Hannibals base a lot. I don't know where I would attack from its just such a great design. I would most likely have skipped TBH:cool:

we are all farming so that's dans normal setup. hannibal said he'll use his own standard setup on the revenge also. it's true he'll be able to form a definite plan of attack at his leisure instead of the normal 30 seconds but that's about all.

if i were to attack hannibal's base, i'd take the single mortar out on the side with two lightnings and attack full force from the right side raging the troops on the edge directed at it's centre between the two sections. it would give it a fair whack but definitely wouldn't touch too much of the other side.

I would've loved to have that luxury, but I only had a single rage, as earlier posted.

Another thing is, I tend to attack at the CC, as troops coming out later in the battle always take a heavy toll on my troops, I find it best to get them out of the way early.

yeah same but a base like that makes it hard to lure them out. i wouldn't bother, just full force once the mortar's out of the way on that side...

since upgrading my xbows i find them such a pain in the butt to place. they mess up the wiz towers completely and the mortars to a lesser degree. i hope they patch it with the update....

Well, you can all expect a revenge from Han soon, I've PM-ed him that I'm ready, so now we just have to await my base's miserable doom.

Sweet! Ill be refreshing this frequently!

I just refreshed and was frightened by the most recent facescraper installment!

We'll let you know when he is about to attack, he still hasn't replied. No need to refresh quite yet.

Just got back from the gym. Need to help the wife get the kids in bed but I'll be ready in maybe 20 mins.

Alrighty, just let me know when :)

I hope this is better than 'Wrath of the Titans'

Lets go Hannibal! Hopeful,y you attack before I have to go to soccer

Fozzie on 999 posts, waiting for update!

haha I failed pretty bad. And I even accidentally deployed my AQ. I'll post the link when it's up.

For some reason it's saying the upload is going to take 18 minutes, so there may be a wait, but the short version is that his CC pretty much owned me.

I can't wait to watch it! Tell me, is it jittery?

No the recording is good. I don't know why it's taking so long, but it's going to be a while for the upload to come up.

The results! Now please excuse me while I watch this replay.

I can't wait to see what hannibal tried to do.

ORSM!

EPIC can't wait for the video I hope Hannibal puts his voice to it to personalize his thoughts:)


NB: cupcake ninjas - love the name:)

A little Sneak Peek, of the video Hannibal will post soon, depending how long it takes the upload.

Geez your barbarian is scary ;)

No voice. Haven't figured out how to do that yet, and don't really have time to sort it out right now.

I tried to come from the obvious spike across top right. It bogged down when I tried to do my wb push too early and the CC was able to kill my buffer troops and focus the wbs down. I probably raid 20-40 times a day and have at least five or so fails like this. So believe me, it's not like this never happens to me or even that this is my first fail today. ;)

It's still saying around five or ten minutes. I'm going to do some chores, but the link will be forthcoming. As I say, this recording is much better.

Link of me failing at Dan's base is here

I had a morning like this, failing on the first 4-5 bases I attacked, barely breaking even on all of them combined. Your base, Hannibal, was obviously one of those bases, the last of them to be precise. I decided to take on some easier bases to get in my groove and its been smooth sailing for the rest of the day.

I got 20 lvl6 the first time, and knew I was able to request again, so I dumped the 5 lvl5 archers, and got some lvl6's :o

I checked and you both have TH 9.

In an earlier picture I noticed that Dan had nearly full DE around 75k, but in the video, it shows available DE as being 2k.

Has SC capped the max resources that can be stolen?

Well I filled my storage at 80k DE, and spent 20k on a Burger King upgrade, leaving me with 60k in the video. This didnt make any difference as the DE looted from the storage is 5% of whatever is in the storage, and is capped at 2000 DE that you can steal from a storage. so, once you have more than 40k DE, the most someone can steal from your storage is 2k.

D'awe Hannibal. You had the right idea but your WB's were deployed too early. Cool duel though. :o

:eek:

So there is a cap of 2000 DE that is available as loot ?

I didn't know that.

If thats true then perhaps it should be added into the wiki
http://clashofclans.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Elixir_Storage

It is highly refreshing to see two players as highly prolific as yourselves,
being so graceful & transparent about each other's attacks & strategies.

I am actually swooning over the two of you as I read this thread.

This little Potato thinks this thread should be added into Tim's thread of all threads & stickied for posterity!

hannibal why?:(



When you don't have a lighting spell you attack from the opposite side of his clan castle... with 12 perfect wallbreakers u could enter at the bottom easier ( where his air defence is... i ll show u in pic :) )

Epic duel!

He said he wasn't going to use a lightning spell because it wasnt part of his regular army, and because I wasnt able too in my attack

I agree 110% - two of the best being nice and respectful to each other, a pleasure to watch this thread.

Yeah i know... if you attack from the opposite side of the clan castle he would minimise the effect of not having a lighting spell :x

Yep! Shame the attacks were massive fails...

I wouldn't say massive fails - they were standard farming load outs on two pretty much top 1% of farmers bases in the game - if he wanted to he could have done the boring thing on revenge throw in drags, rage sit back make a cup of tea, wait for 3 stars.

Perhaps... However the gobs would've gotten murdered later in the battle. I think what mostly repels attackers from that side is the double wizard towers, which together will take out the gobs very fast. I'm not sure if that's it, but no one ever comes from the bottom, of the 4 serious attacks on the base, they have all been from the top side.

Wiz tower doesn't scare me :P

CC troops wouldn't be activated till then moment his giants would be killing the first wiz tower and he mis-used the rage spell....never rage outside walls ...the rage should be deployed the moment the wbs and giants would break through close to the wiz tower then spamming gobs and let them work....



Its easier said than done tbh :)
