Introducing the Friendly Challenge!

Practicing is a fun and instructive idea. However, it should be limited to practicing on people in global. Another idea is that you get to retry your war attacks on bases you hit after war is over, and until the next war begins (or replays no longer available--whichever comes first). This will help you see where you went wrong and what could be better, but will not affect the outcome of war.

Love this idea! This would actually create a fair environment for war. Not everyone has time to crack a base and spend 12 or more hours a day playing this game. Great idea.

What will stop a clan from copying a war base and practice? Especially after a replay or 2

Yes, SC could easily introduce a feature which copy and paste bases( which they already have within the base design section) and limit their usage to CW bases after the war is over.

Hey! Skill is gained through war the way it has always been done. 2 raids per war to get better. Also through in depth planning and practicing in multiplayer mode.. Also the proposed idea to have the 47 hour time limit would allow you to practice war meta more often without sandboxing during war day.

Fun idea, something I thought about years ago. Simply make practice/challenge attacks unavailable during war, problem solved. In between wars is when it makes sense to have fun with your buddies and to work on tactics. but when your clan is at war, you should be prepared with the skills you already have.

[dubbledxu]

But how is that "skill" you are boasting about gained?

I am guessing by knowing troop/defensive AI and how they will interact with each other based on "seeing" the base. Basically, a one time shot per base per person. Not who has the most time to be able to re-build each base and practice their attacks.

Why is everyone so quick to add "solutions" to fixes on a change we don't have details about? Maybe there is a restriction already, maybe there is a timer. Bottom line, until we get full details about the change, any argument supporting or improving is a waste of time.

One last thing, if your clan enjoys the thrills of 3 stars without using any help, then don't use this feature in that way. Is winning the war more important that the joy you get from whatever reason you play the game?

I do not have the time to sit, copy an opponent war base, and practice on it 100 times. However, what I will use this for, is probably after I attack the base, if I fail or if I think a change would have worked, if it's important to me, I'll copy the base and try it later on.

I also have always wondered about certain things in the game that one would normally only be able to have done until now in a live war raid, example, if I drop the golem here, will he walk all the way to the cannon or bang on the wall by the archer tower. Or how about if I drop 3 zap spells here, what will it take out. Etc.. these are all things that FP clans did not have available to them that they now do. I don't mind getting that information if it means I lose the war because my opponent spent 24 hours that day on the game. If that's all they have time to do in their lives, I'm happy to give them the war win.

REMEMBER THIS IS A GAME!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the confusion. I was just talking about how this update seems hypocritical. Step 1: Ban people for copying bases and getting an advantage in clan war. Step 2: Lets give everyone the ability to copy bases an get an advantage in clan war. Step 3: We get more money and hopefully those banned people come back....I don't think the idea is a good one, but unfortunately they own the company so we either adapt or quit.

Allowing it in clan war though is pretty unacceptable in every way for most who care about attacking a fresh base and taking a few minutes to understand troop AI. If you want to be good at something it requires effort for most people. If you want everything given to you thats fine just make sure you don't get a job, marry someone poor, or have back luck playing the lottery.

If if you want to get good at this game do it just like we have attack in Multi play mode just like we did and do that's the point of this game if you lose then you learned something if you win you learned something watch your replays you can learn lots from all your replays and yes this is there game your 100% right but we as the people that play and for some that even pay we all have a Voice and can band together and say NO WE DONT WANT THIS AND THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING we have been up against a lot of clans that manipulate this game in war we have see everything from having a th 10 with almost max troops and with no walls and one cannon to a th 8 with some walls with max traps and teslas with max to almost max troops where a smaller th could not take it mostly asian clans but have seen others as well I see clans like these abusing it very badly if they are going to put a cool down on this then why even do the update most clans war back to back so we as a fair play clan would not ever even get to use it

Maybe this feature is not available during war?
