- Shield is approaching the end, sitting on morning bog visit or eating breakfast, raid once for at least 300k, zap 1000 de and steal a little more, with other army queued. After searching and raiding, next army ready about 10 minutes later.
- Second raid, 300k, steal 200 de, then set army and lightning cooking, and log off
- ignore all day. Worst case scenario, get hit for 500k. More often than not, a snipe and maybe zap too, giving me a shield all day.
- get home at night, do my own thing. About 9pm, bang a movie or TV shows on and turn on the iPad.
- collect about 300-400k, 2000 de and do first raid to assess loot, also asking clan mates first if loot is ok right now. Take 200k on first raid.
- either leave it on while I watch TV for an hour, or if loot is good, boost for a 2-hour run. Likely do this once a week.
- worst case scenario, big zap takes 1000 de, and after 4 BAM raids in an hour averaging 250k profit each, 1 million resources.
- bedtime, set up army and lightning overnight, log off and worst case scenario as earlier, 500k loss
Total time investment - 90 minutes
Total take (worst case scenario) - 2.2 million resources, 6200 de.
Total loss (worst case scenario) - 1 million resources and 2000 de.
Total profit - 1.1 million and 4000 de
On good days when it's a simple snipe, that's 2 million profit for just 90 minutes of your time. On boost sessions I can make 3-7 million on good days, and raid up to 10k de, sat in front of a TV before bed. I can still watch and still talk to my wife or do other things.
Yes you might be unluckier than some, but if you play with a routine and a discipline and your base isn't inviting attack and can put up a good defence, and you make sure it's only attacked once to get your shield, no one should have any problems.
