I think the available % of loot from storages should be increase but keep the caps. This way it will be more of an incentive to go after the storages rather than looking for collector bases. Yes you will lose more from being attacked but gain more from raiding so should even out. As it is we all spend way to much time searching for collector bases (inactive) as there is no profit in attacking active bases (unless storages full). Let me know what you think of this.
It's quite easy to make a profit from an active base. For example, if I have an army which cost me 50k elixir to make and I gained 55k elixir in my raid then I have made a profit.Quote:

As such, I don't think any changes need to be made in this regard.
No thanks...
The fact that in actives with big loot are rare, already encourages many of us to go looting with heavier armies and spells.....
I am happy to have a go at anything I can make 100k profit off each each, plus my big win bonus...(and less will do, after nexting a while)
Happy with how it is - I don't want my base to be any more attractive, just to encourage those lazy collector farmers, to come and have ago, let them search their inactives, and I will try and raid them for their ill gotten gains....
thank you for your replyQuote:

Where as you can build 200 archers for 40k and go for a collector base at 200k+ and be nearly guarantee to get it. Aldo I agree as you said it is possible to make a profit going after active bases there is more incentive to go after the inactive bases. it is this that I'd like to see change.
It was an example based on your initial post where you said there was no profit in attacking active bases.Quote:

It's not meant to be easy to get big loot, obviously you will come across the odd inactive base where it is, but overall it's not going to be presented to you on a plate...a bit like real life really.

Obviously I take the inactives that have loot, when I see them, as well as snipes.... I just selfishly don't want my base being more attractive..... let the bam/barcher keep going for inactives and collectors, they are welcome to have a go at mine, after they've sniped my th
Edit.. nothing against bam/barch ... I often BAM myself, and then I search more for the inactives, but find that if I carry a rage, or two, I will often find a loot able storage raid, before a decent collector raiD comes up...
I not asking for it to be handed to me on a plate by building bigger more expensive armies means searching for bases to cover costs of that army (yes this can be done). My point is building this army takes more time and you still have to search for base with enough in storages to cover the cost. Or build a cheap army and search for collectors. As it is it makes more sense to build a quick cheap army and search for collectors. I would like to change this so the incentive is to build the bigger army and go after the better defended basesQuote:

4th mortar, rumoured buff to AT, hiding inactives, etc.......
I just disagree with having bigger percent stolen, I much prefer there is just more loot overall. .... (perhaps pump/mine lvl12 will help)
Ok I seem to be on the losing side here. I just thought the game would be more fun if there was more incentive to go on full attack rather than collector raiding. As it is I will continue to raid the collectors :) . I recently had to save for lvl3 pekka at a cost of 6 mil I had 2.5 mil so boosted barracks and built barch collector raided for two hours and got the 6 mil I needed. Yes I got the loot but it was rinse and repeat no fun :(Quote:

I only disagreed about upping the percent available from storage. .....
May be a moot point anyway, if rumoured lvl12 pump/mine comes in, as well as removing lix for walls, till th9.... perhaps we will all need to provide our villagers with snorkels, incase they drown in all that loot.....
