Clan Wars: Has Farming Become Redundant?

Interesting, well its good to see that the new concept hasn't impacted anyone too greatly. What exactly is this Transformer Base I've been reading about?

farming is the act of exposing your TH outside your defenses to retain your loot
That is not the correct definition, btw

A transformer base generally has a lab or something instead of a TH in the middle, and when clan wars/push stars, you just have to switch the TH and the lab. Basically a base that lets you go from farming to pushing relatively easily without redesigning completely

Not had this problem tbh. Our whole clan usually has their town hall outside. Personally, an hour before war starts, my townhall goes back inside. As soon as prep day is over and my war base is locked my th comes back out again. Problem solved. 👍

You just get a small fraction of the possible war loot.

Thank you!
Saved me from saying it, and you were also much more polite than I would have been.

Farming is all about focusing on a reward of a game, rather than an aim of a game.
It's a VERY generic gaming term and it's very very old.

In the case of CoC it's about aiming to collect lots of gold (or dark elixir or elixir) and ignoring the game's 'goal' of trophies.

Putting your TH outside just has the benefit of protecting your resources (but that's a minor part of farming)

In clan wars you get the first day to prepare. During the last hour or so, just switch your base to a "war base" and after battle day starts, just switch it back to farming. Supercell made it so it just takes a "screenshot" of your base when the preparation day time runs out.

its even better now for free shields cause there are so few th outside. have a crappy hybrid that gets sniped even with maxed reserves....mostly.

And as much as I'd like a base saver option in build...I think there are more benefits to those who are willing to put in the work without the option.

Transformer bases and Hybrid bases are kind of different. Hybrid bases are bases that protect both resources and trophies while transformer bases are changeable from farming mode to trophy mode.

I'm gonna call it a one size fits all base. cause none of this is real and it doesn't matter.
