Before I begin, I just want to say this is in no way, shape, or form, a complaint, rather than just a question. I am really happy with this CW update which has added a new spark to this game. But my question is...
Q: Why are the army camps hidden like the CC?
I really like the implementation of the hidden CC because it always keeps you guessing when you are either revenging someone or attacking them in Clan Wars, and when something unexpected comes out, your game-plan immediately changes to either "I'm screwed" or "Lets do this another way..."
But when it comes to the hidden army camps, I'm just like, "Why?"
For one, I really did enjoy looking at other people's army camps and seeing what composition they are using to either farm well/efficiently or their attack composition which helps them succeed when pushing. I liked doing this especially when I saw another TH9 who was wayyyy better than me, like a full out maxed TH9 when it comes to farming, or a TH9 who has reached a trophy count far beyond my reach. And as we all know, when it comes to trophy pushing, basically every exact troop counts to get you that win and for farming, a proper combo can help you get into those tough bases to steal all that loot.
But when I saw that I was unable to see other people's armies who weren't in my clan when the update came out and still to this point, my question is still "Why?"
Now you can say, "Why don't you just leave, join their clan, and then see it".
To answer that:
1) It's an unneeded hassle to leave the clan just to see someone's army camp
2) Some (not as much for me) take pride in their donations (2K+ or so) and then having to leave would mean a reset in their donation count.
To add on to that, this game's true reason for it's high class development and where it is today in terms of strategy/design/tactics is because player's learned off from one another. All these strategies didn't just come out of no where, rather, players learned when viewing other people's bases for base designs, army camps for combinations, and replaying replays for deployment tactics and improvement on their bases.
And in terms of Clan Wars/Revenging, you can't make a base when you see someone queing up a specific army because in Clan Wars:
1) You don't know who will attack you; everyone in the opposing clan has their own tactic to attack you with just adding to the ambiguity on who is going to attack you and with what.
2) And once a Clan War Day begins, your base is locked in as it is, meaning you can't just change your base every time to counter someone's attack
& when it comes to revenging, you 100% have no clue whether the person is going to revenge you at all (unless of course you are trophy pushing and are a weak target to your opponent).
But, maybe just answering my own question...Maybe SC added this to make people have their own variations of army compositions/tactics to expand the game and to add variety to the OP Attacking World.
No idea, but it could be a valid, plausible reason...
But how do you guys feel about the hidden army camps? Not a massive game changing topic to discuss but it just popped into my mind the other day and I was curious to how many of you feel about this.
