I have a few questions about loot stored in the clan castle
1. Can it be stolen?
2. If the answer for #1 is yes what is the maximum amount available?
3. Is it best to collect immediately or allow it to build up?

I have a few questions about loot stored in the clan castle
1. Can it be stolen?
2. If the answer for #1 is yes what is the maximum amount available?
3. Is it best to collect immediately or allow it to build up?
1. Yes
2. Max 10%, less if attacked by higher TH
3. That depends on if you need it or not. If not needed dont collect, because more can be stolen from storages.

1.) The loot that can be stolen is half of what could be stolen from the storages. So if you dont need it, dont collect it. Also it is protected in the center in most cases and most attackers dont target it. Also the goblins dont attack it.
2.) If you are over the loot cap (about 2 million at th8, 3 million at th9, 4 million at th10) collect it, because the clan castle adds to the amount from storages. Or you leave it in the clan castle to make the attacker think the loot is in the mines. Most attackers dont think about the cc and if they see more than 400K at th10, they assume they can get the rest from the mines, weakening their attacking force.
3.) If you are a th10 and have to deal with a lot of updates above 7 million, the cc is an easy way to increase your storage capacity. You upgrade an xbows for 8 million? Just save up 7.5 million, collect the rest from the cc and have a bit more to continue attacking (nexting costs). The same applies to the 8 million upgrades in the lab.
Also, even though it holds loot it is not a storage. It can be zapped for loot. Happened to me last week, he got about 1500 Gold & Elixir, and 120 DE. Sort of pathetic what zappers have been reduced to. Lol.
You have had good answers previously, but what has not been mentioned in ralation to Q3 is that you have to be careful about letting it build up. If the bonus received in war plus whatever is in there now would be more than the capacity of teh CC, you just lose any excess.
So make sure you collect before that happens.
I always collect my loot otherwise it's likely to be stolen and I want to get my Spoils of War achievement. Once I've done that, I'll probably keep it as another storage.
