Introducing the Friendly Challenge!

[ForgiveMeNot]

It's completely different.

even if you try to copy opponent base, your defense level is different, traps placement is not the same, etc..

I love it, finally we can practice combo and able to play more... not sure I will waste hours to copy opponent base and practice...but if opponent clan do that, good for them and I don't mind losing 3 stars.

This.... This is terrible.... I war in a highly competitive clan (and enjoy the sweaty wars). Now we'll all have to change our farm bases up and make enemy war bases I'm sure before every war att so we can practice getting the three star. This is going to make everything so tedious for the serious war clans. I hate this idea. It's like 20 min to train an army. You want to practice? Just go raid. You want to try new troops? Go raid again. We already had a mode which let you do this =[.

People have more than 1 account.

More than 1 account is unsupported, so in general, people have 1 account. Also, the accounts arent of same level most of the time.

This could be the downfall. It also could be the biggest update ever. People in your clan are going to be doing a copy cat base layout for war and practice the attack strategy to ensure a three star. Wars just got harder! Good luck Fam!

Personally I don't have the time or desire to screenshot someones base and go back and forth to copy it. I am not saying people won't do it, they will, I just don't see it being a huge issue. The people who are going to do this are probably made up of former xmod users and people who hit the personal break every day. Casual (and semi-serious) players more than likely wont be doing this.

Agreed. For the majority of us (me included) this will be just *fun*. Love it

You've just started a war. It's the 23 hour prep day. You suspect your opponents have copied all of your bases and are feverishly practicing so that on war day they can 3-star everything.

Then suddenly, 5 minutes before war day starts, YOU SWITCH WAR BASES!!!! OMG THEY JUST WASTED THE LAST 23 HOURS AND HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!

Will that stop them from doing it all over again during war day? Maybe, maybe not. But just imagine their rage when they realize they just wasted an entire day for nothing!

There is an easy solution to the issue described by so many cw players. A newly created base showed be allowed to participate in the friendly matches only > 48h after built, so there is no room for rebuilding any cw bases of the opponent

Many players are running about crying foul about the friendly challenge. But I think it's a wise idea.
You can't compare it to modding, and it only helps you improve your game.
Honestly I think SC brought this as a way of discouraging modding using external apps, yes, I believe so, but there's another way to think
At war yes you can practice an attack but not the exact base your enemy has. Who in a clan would re-arrange his base as the enemy just for a clan mate to practise, and how does he know the traps? And even if someone does that will he do that every war? I don't think so.
Instead clan mates can test their war base strength, and have fun doing so too.
It's not the end of the game. It's the beginning of another way of fun in the game

A dictionary definition, since there seems to be so much confusion over what the word means.

"treating people in a way that does not favor some over others"

As a added bonus the forums are finally clear of threads complaining about war engineering


I am loving this new age of clash fair play. I was three staring regularly without recreating your base and practicing against it, so won't start doing this, but at least now when we crush your clan you have a convenient scapegoat

I am looking forward to trying to crack my own war bases on an alt, no one seems to have managed it in our wars and it will be nice to use the new friendly challenges to improve my own base

[Spavel]

I would rather agree with challenge lock during war than this.

There are clans that start war search immediately after war is over...

[youwire]

you got it wrong.

it is a reward for non moders to compete with moders since SC has failed the battle with them.

It is a balancing step toward fairplay.
