    How Many Searches Do You Skip Before You Start Over?

    Generally, when we are searching to find a match, I do around 10 searches, and if I do not find any good loot on those 10 searches, I just end battle and start over with the search.

    Do you do such? If yes, how many skips do you do before you think you'd start over?

    Option missing

    I don't start over. I hit 30 skips then I quit the game session. Come back at another time. Since the update, that seems to happen a lot.

    So I guess, my option is potatoes.

    Sometimes I skip so much that the game just stays showing me the magnifying glass. It says there for a long time, and I hope for a village to come but it's still searching. So I just have to reload the game. I don't know why it does this.

    I once heard that skipping 10-15 times and restarting the search again gives better loot. I myself haven't had much success with it, but later on this turned into my "habit" where after doing 10-15 searches even if I don't find anything, my fingers would "automatically" cancel the search and I'd start over again.

    I never start over. If you set up your next round of troops in the barracks to start once you go off to attack, they will train while you are searching. The game assumes that your camps are empty and will train those troops but if you quit the search, your original army is back. My mixture takes 24 minutes to train so if I search for 10 minutes and then attack somene without starting over, I will only have to wait 14 minutes for the next battle. Every time you start the attack over, you lose this "bonus" training time.

    I keep going until I find one worth raiding. Usually, that ranges from 1-20.

    Why? Random is random. All you're accomplishing by doing this is increasing your army build time. I search until I find a target worth attacking.
