Lack Of Resources To Loot ......... Scrap Troop Protection In Army Camps???
There is so much chat about the lack of resources to loot when we attack.
A major factor in the lack of elixir when attacking has to be the Halloween Troop Protection update.
You can build an army for X amount of elixir and then queue up to a maximum of 75 troops per barracks x4 behind them.
The most expensive troops per space for me is wall breakers at 3000 elixir.
I build an army for 80k elixir to fill the camps.
I queue 225 wall breakers at 3000 elixir each and keep 675,000 elixir safely stashed away from looting attackers.
When i log back on I cancel the troop queues in each barracks to reclaim the elixir.
If there was no troop protection, i wouldn't want an army of wall breakers to be made if the troops in the camps were destroyed.
I know this is widely done to protect elixir but must be having a negative impact on the available loot when we attack.
Troop protection is convenient, but is it at the expense of gameplay?
EDIT
This isn't a complaint thread about the lack of resources as I've changed tack and don't have a major problem any more. The thread is an observation based on various clan chats on the subject.
Another potential issue with Army camps..
From an attack standpoint, anytime you leave, you can attack instantly when you get back. Rather than waiting 20-30 minutes for a army to build.
One side affect of this.. More people are attacking more often. That would tend to make less available loot, as most players go for the high resource base when they see it, and usually get at least 40% to give it the shield
