WAR...What is it good for?....absolutely nothhhinnn

[Boxcutter]

Yeah, I agree with most people that have been saying that wars are mainly for fun, not loot. The loot bonus for me usually ends up being a bonus in gold and DE but a loss in elixir since I do mass dragon raids. I don't really mind though because I don't need elixir as a 2/3 done TH8. To be honest, even if wars offered significantly lower loot bonuses I probably wouldn't care too much because if I win I typically get like 500k of gold and elixir and 1k DE which is like 30 minutes of regular raiding with Barch instead of mass dragons in war.

Another reason I like wars is because it is the only time you are really trying to get a 3 star raid and improve your raiding skills. Farming is just picking off collectors and exposed storages. Even trophy pushing nowadays is mainly just TH sniping or Barching weak bases for a 50%. You have to actually try to get 3 stars and destroy everything which takes a lot of strategy as opposed to farming.

A last reason for war is that it brings the clan together, which is important.

Well I read and posted this several times previously.

Make War Loot based on how many stars you get.

50% for 1 Star
100% for 2 Stars
150% for 3 Stars.

This way people are encouraged to use more expensive armies as they will get more loot the better they do. Yes this can lead to everyone using Mass dragons, not like ppl don't do this already, but build an army for maximum efficiency while getting the most loot possible. This can also help with the stronger TH donating lots of troops for clan defense but Supercell will probably ignore it lol.

My clan participates in wars back to back and I don't mind. I came to this clan for that exact reason. It's boring for me to have good troops only to BARCH all the time and farm. Clan wars gives me good amount of DE and Gold that I could get farming but farming isn't as much fun. I enjoy using my lvl 5 loons, wiz and lvl 4 minions instead of boosting barracks and running the same thing over and over again. Next...next...next....*10 years later* 400-600k total collectorr raid....repeat. Clan wars just mixes it up for me. Which I enjoy.

The goal of the game is to get a max base. To get a max base, you need loot. From clan wars, one attack gives me 250K. I wait 2 days to get 250K when I could wait 20 mins and get that using BARCH instead of GoWiPe.

Where is it stated that the goal of the game is to get a max base? The goal of the game for me is to have fun, and without clan wars, there is very little to be had (farming for walls can get pretty tedious).

[SirAlex117]

I know everybodies goals are different, mine are to get as much loot as possible to improve my base. I have found wars to be unprofitable. Granted i use mass dragon attk, and i know loons are much cheaper, but even so...I still think wars are a waste. Yes you get some great loot when you win, but after donations n army building, and the time spent vs normal raiding.....does anybody else feel they are not profitable?

War is profitable if you are looking for gold.

[Shad0w]

If clan don't kind you can successfully 1 star any base with barch....
Little cost and train time

[andrew1028]

They aren't profitable but they are fun. This game is about having fun.

[mhacleth]

That was the biggest war reward I got.
The lowest was 300k gold and 300k elixir. (just got a star, lol).

Anyways, different strokes for different folks.


Assuming that you win each time, then two special battles for that prize ain't that bad.

[Avernicus]

Imo, it is really good especially if you're having a tough farming week. That extra loot is all that you may need for an upgrade.

Here's how I go about in War:

1) Decide how much war loot you aim to get.

2) Look for the 2 most viable target (in terms of bonus loot and base level)

3) Invoke your wrath with no prisoners taken.

4) Enjoy the harvest!

By following the above simple steps, I got over 9m in war loot so far. :3

PS: Oh god i sound like one of those damn promoters on TV. LOL

[remired]

Thats why he looks to clan war to find loot. Lol
