WAR LOOT CHANGES! Loot earned is loot kept. If you win, you double your take

My thoughts are that going to war is not nearly lucrative enough, and many would and have agreed with me on this. I know Supercell just upped the war loot, but it wasn't as much as it should have been. My suggestion is no matter what you get in war loot, you keep it. The incentive to winning the war is that you double your loot intake.

Many of us donate so many expensive troops for war we actually lose loot even if we win, not to mention if we lose!

Please reply if you agree/disagree with this as I want to get people's perspective.

Agreed! Many of our new "Tough Clashers" recruits don't want to attack so as to not "waste" elixir. In our Clan, we have the our Co-Leaders and Leader doing all the donations. Even when we win, with the donations and troops we attack with, we don't even break even. It's fun, don't get me wrong, and it also brings our clan closer and working as a team, but oh man, do we go through elixir . . .

Then there is no more incentive to win wars.
Why would you need to win if you only need to spend barchers and get 1star.
50k on barchers, win 300k/300k/2k.
Easy farm.

I don't think this should happen.
Reward is not enough if you win, infernal if you lose. Yet, war is still a war to participate in.
If waging war is too expensive then I suggest you stop initiating war for a while to stockpile resources.

Win wars, get loots (enough or not)
Lose wars, get loots (so small that it will make you tear up)

So get that strategies going and win!

Thanks for reading. Clash on!

My response back to that is to keep the "no looting attacks".... If you go for an easy star with looting troops (like some tend to do), they get kicked... Or this is how we operate in our clan. If you put forth effort with good troops/spells/etc. and get one star, then so be it. If you put forth an awful barch attack, then you are booted. I think having your loot doubled for winning is incentive enough, in my opinion.

Getting the higher loot percentage when you win is the enough incentive.
War bonus should not satisfy losers.
It's what makes you strive to win (if you want good loots)

bump.........

Their system vs your system is basically the same just with different loot systems.

Their system 400 000 base if you win 133 000 (30%) if you lose.

Your system 800 000 base if you win 400 000 (50%) if you lose.

So your not really asking for a different system just a bigger pot.

I agree you usually lose elixir on a war regardless but you gain a bunch of gold and have a good time doing it. Personally I think the bump they gave the loot was reasonable as it is close to the maximum you could take from storages for a number of the bases (although more is always better).

This may be part of your problem. In my clan, we only donate goblins to the war clan castles. You may disagree, but they're cheap and we have never lost a war we intended to win. Best of all, it's profitable and there's nothing more satisfying than seeing a horde of goblins take down a golem/barb king/pack of giants! Goblins are ruthless killers!

When I say we never lose a war we intend to win, I mean since we war every day, and sometimes we choose to allow the other clan to win. If you only attack the other clan with tier 1 troops for 1 star, you always come out ahead (unless you fail to 1 star both of your attacks, but that's on you). We generally do this once a week so people don't get burned out from constant war, otherwise we always win our wars. That being said, if we chose to win, we would definitely win every war, and we always always make a profit (and that was before the update).

Bottom line, war is profitable whether you win or lose, you just have to adjust your strategy...

I like that. It would increase more wars too.:D

That is very interesting spaceman about the goblins! I am intrigued to say the least

Interesting. Normally cc troops are used to slow down attacks, but goblins don't have high enough HP to do that for long. Sure if an attacker forgets to clear out cc they may hurt a pack of giants etc. But so will a couple of valks or a drag.....

No, not a good idea. War loot should be increased, yes. But not for losers. I would increase war loot by 50% at least. However, you only get 10% of the loot if you one star. 50% if you 2 star and 100% for a 3 star... That way you can't one star and get a full payout if you win the war. 1 star is so easy to do you shouldn't get much for it.

yes i agree, people spend such expensive attacks on war and also if the winning loot was increase abundantly then it would make all wars much more competitive and much more enjoyable

I think u should get a lil more loot for a loss so that u dont lose alotta resources. U should get like %50 of the loot bonus for a loss so u can at least get most of ur loot that u spent back. That way theyres still incentive to win but it doesnt suck as bad wen u lose. Alot more people would b willing to do wars if this was the case.

I wish this were true.
A strong TH10 is worth less now than before the update.

Perhaps Supercell should consider give extra loot by... 25% for elders and 50% for co-leaders, 100% for leaders considering they mostly do all the troop war donation for def and attacks :3
