you can create a proxy war that does not use up troops. you can summon any troop that is limited by the level of your barracks and the capacity of your war camps. You can either attack a default base or your own base. you can share the replay of your last simulated attack.
Reason
to know the strengths and weaknesses of your base
to practice attacking
I know this sounds silly because you can attack goblins and has resources but it uses up troops and has no time limit
