How to know how long you've played this game!

Hi, I've been stumbled upon a question on how long did I or my friends have already played? We cannot compare our base to others simply because they have played long enough (or paid hard enough) to reach their status. Well, we can somehow see how long did a player already played this game by simply looking at the achievement, "Nice and Tidy". Why? It's because obstacles spawn every 8 hours and also limited to 40. This means, every obstacle we remove is equal to an 8-hour period, and if they accumulated 40 of them and not removing it, the timer stops (because most probably, the player didn't played a long time).

Note that this is only a rough estimate. And doesn't apply to everyone (as some players do not remove obstacles purposely).

It's:

((Number of obstacles removed - 40)x 8) / 24

Example: I'm a th7 player. I have 286 obstacles cleared (as shown in achievements). So,
((286-40)x8)/24 =
((246)x8)/24=
1968/24=
82
This means I have already played about 82 days.

The -40 is because there is already 40 obstacles when you start the game, so no count for it.

The x8 is because every obstacle spawn every 8 hours.

the /24 is, so that we can convert the numbers to days. (24h=1 day).

That's it! Happy clashing!

And what if I dont collect my trees for two months?.. Theory gone.
Its better to look at the bigger coffers achievement. Because that gives the exact date you completed the tutorial.

If you have an iPhone open Game Centre and check when you updated Gold Storage to Lvl 3 achivement i think it is, you have to do this during the first time you play the game. (Above comment beat me to it!)

Please read again, this doesn't apply to everyone. Got it?

A easier way would be to go onto GC, look at achievements and see what date 'Bigger Coffers' was achieved, as this is one of the first achievements you get (correct me if I am wrong) :rolleyes:

Edit: Others beat me to it:p

Good idea. But what if I want to see others'?

Hm.. mines came out to be around 398 days
Probably not accurate but I have no means of checking since I play on android
