Introducing the Friendly Challenge!

Those that have more time to watch youtube videos get more 3 star attacks too. Should we ban youtube videos to make it "fair." Why not go ahead and ban clan chat so clanmates can't coach people through their attacks.

It's going to get abused... BY PLAYERS HAVING THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES!

How can it get abused? Can attack clanmates only sooo

You can't be serious? You really don't understand what this does to war?

Personally I'm a fan of this addition. Yes, it may open up the possibility of some sandboxing for war attacks, but it doesn't show trap locations or CC troops, so it can only be used for pathing prediction (which if you read ANY wb thread or queen thread, you'll know that even pathing isn't entirely predictable). There is also a random element to target selection when choosing between equidistant targets, so what works in the sandbox may not work on the real base.

In any event, I can finally try some Lavaloon practice WITHOUT blowing through 1000s of DE and tons of time to work on it. I can try some really fun things, and bowler walks, and crazy army comps, without having to 'next' my life away trying to find a suitable base to drop my practice army on.

Overall, I think the pros outweight the cons here.

Look, I can see where you're coming from, but it is short sighted.

My clan has 6 fully max TH11s, another 8 that are very close. So, under the plan below, that's 14 attacks every war, practiced to death, with near or max warden and troops.

Until we get more details of loophole fixing measures, let's make a hypothetical.
I would never do this, but the fact that is technically possible and would provide an advantage....some would.

Create 2 alternating war teams, of incredibly similar makeup. Ideally, half th9, half th11 (splitting the max and just off-max bases between the teams)

One team in the feeder, are the base builders.
The TH9s in the war team hit every base. While they may not be able to expose every trap, they could get enough to plan the attack, or that the rest would be obvious.
This info is relayed to the feeder base building team.

TH11s from the war team hop over to the feeder for some heavy sandboxing.

After a resounding stomping win, the team's either switch clans, or just war on the opposite one.



Sounds a ludicrous amount of work does it not? How much would you like to bet that plenty would be willing though....and thus killing the war experience for those that didn't want to go to such lengths.

And so, as has been said a few times already: the ONLY way around it I see is that friendly battle bases have a 47 hour cool-down to any changes.
No idea how one would implement this, but does rather sidestep any abuse.
Can't even make it so that changes are fair game at war end....as different wars in different places finish at different times.

Ill re-post, since people only seem to want to reply to the naive or Armageddon posts.

You have to get someone else to copy the enemy's base that you want to practice on. That person would have to have the exact same level of defenses and walls to make it worthwhile. It will be useless during prep day as you will see an increase in the number of decoy bases. We don't know if there is time limit between challenges.

No one wants to wait to see how it will actually works before they decide if they like it or not but that really is the best idea...

It doesn't take long to build a base. If it's like royale than it will cap defence lvls so u aren't limited to attacking your same lvl defence wise. We r so lacking in info, I'd wait until we get full details until we wig out. If it runs like royale and u can't exploit it in war it will b awesome

[irmtfan]

We asked for years to get cheating out of war....and they finally remove modders to resounding applaus. A month late they bring an update that essentially allows the same thing. This will really end the game for the war community.

This
We were right when we said removing th snipe is a bad move.
We are right again and you will see it

[WiseGuyClasher]

I'm in shock right now. I really can't believe SC is this stupid after they've been doing so well the last couple months...

[Hypotenuse]

Oh my god SC! You truly cannot make a good thing without ruining it! This is complete and total garbage. You ban the fluffy bunnies which is the best thing you have ever done, hands down. But now, you basically give everyone fluffy bunny access. This is just plain dumb and poorly thought out, and quite frankly I expected more of you, although at this point I'm wondering why I did. If you implement this there won't be any "adapt" nonsense...you will simply lose the following of the war community, me included and I am 8000% sure I am not alone. Please for the love of god don't implement this ridiculous feature!

...you must be joking, right

It means CW will only be fun for those who can spend hours on the game, not any more for those who can't, they will get frustrated, very soon.

Unfortunately that has been ruled out by all the complainers here who amazingly have the ability to know exactly how it is going to work even before it is rolled out...

Hahah!! True, waiting 48 hrs before a newly designed base is available would make WAY too much sense
