The 2.4M raid... that never was!

[jigglypuff]

damn insane loot i would have a crack at 2 collecters

[theangryryno]

not with the troops you had... not even a single wallbreaker to get to those precious full collectors and mines, if all else failed u could have dropped a bunch of archers at the town hall to make sure you didn't lose, but then I realised you didn't have any of them either! oh well....

[hastur]

Thanks for the replies folks, yeah, thought it would be good to show what might have been in different cirsumstances...

Shame I was feeling a bit rushed, late at night, with a totally inappropriate little army...

[theangryryno]

haha better luck next time!

[RegaliaRemix]

Gosh, I hate ♥♥♥♥♥♥ trolls who put collectors behind walls when they quit. I make a point of 3 starring their bases every single time if they do that.... <_<

BTW OP, change that pathetic army composition. Who the heck uses only Barbs and Goblins when they raid?

Dat loot -_-

And healing spells with tier 1 troops

WOW I wish I am able to find one!

At the risk of sounding a little defensive...

RegaliaRemix, ChiefClansChief - I was a pretty early TH6 when I found this offer, on my alt account... (which is now TH7)

No, I did not not always run with just barbs and gobs as TH6, but that mix was the most successful army I ever ran with up to TH5, for me it was like BAM at TH8, quick and multi-purpose for farming; until I got level 3 archers, I found archers useless for the easy bases I could find up to TH5, all I needed were barbs to get loot and/or take on defenses, gobs to get the fat loot asap. So yeah, I was still running with my old TH5 army, looking for the usual easy bases with good loot but hardly any defenses. I also tended to play for short periods, looking for as much loot as quickly as possible - a few minutes while waiting for the bus to arrive, a few minutes late at night after playing my main account, etc. Later on as TH6, I upped my trophies a bit, and branched out and used giants and archers, with some WB, to crack a wider variety of bases where a ranged attack was actually worthwile (yes, I did find that what worked well up to TH5 didn't work so well for TH6). But yeah, barbs + archers never really worked out all that well for me, at any TH level - at TH6 I went from mainly barbs, to dropping them altogether in favour of giants - likely once I've got level 4 barbs and archers I'll use that more at TH7.

Basically the example I'm showing here is simply a case of poor timing... if I'd found that base as TH5, it would have been an even bigger offer that I would have struggled to get any of... If I'd found that base later on in my (brief) TH6 career, I'd have had a different army and (most likely) been posting something more like a success story!

And spells... you use lightning as TH6? I hardly ever raided a base with clan troops, and if I did I just ignored them and got the loot asap, or lured and killed them, depending on what came out. And I found low-level lightning against mortars or similar to be a poor use of gold as well as brew time. I did find that, ocasionally, a heal spell on my goblins while under splash fire gave them just enough time to get all the loot. Basically, a poor-man's rage spell, for a level where you can't get rage. I always had 2 heal brewed all the way through TH6, including with giants and wizards to crack into the core of TH8 (same thing - poor man's rage - keep the troops alive until they can get the loot). Hardly used them, though. In fact, as TH6 I hardly even used my own clan castle... up to TH5 the loot was super easy to find and get with mainly barbs, and as TH6 once I found the right trophy range the farming wasn't much harder either, although I did notice it was more like TH7+ where it's harder to find good raids where you only used a few troops, it tended to be 10-15 minutes between raids because you're brewing a larger army and using more of it because you finally have to break walls and/or deal with some defenses...

Anyway, that was the whole point of my post - I was looking for big, easy to get loot, the same way I'd done as TH5, and unfortunately I found an insane offer that was, in my 30 second assessment, out of my reach for my simple little TH6 farming army... I had about 5 minutes to get a raid or two in, so pressed next rather than thrown down my whole army and (probably) get nothing.

Imagine you were offered $1M to fight Mike Tyson... only catch was, you'd have to fight him tonight, and actually only the winner gets the money... Would you give it a go, or pass?

Here's a raid I found recently, with my TH6... I passed!



nb: in restrospect, I should have lured and killed the king then had a crack at one of the collectors - hard to make that decision when you're under time preasure, I looked closely and thought I'd never get through a wall before all my troops were killed...

Did you manage to take the screenshot and press NEXT in that one second left? Impressive o.o
