Will Layout Editor Lead to Inappropriate Bases?

If you let your children have a smart phone or tablet inappropriate pictures drawn with blocks is the least of your worries. I'm sure they have seen much much worse.

I feel like this factor is going to make the actual war day more hectic than usual and prep day almost pointless.

This is right on. Since you can't study bases anymore and filling War CCs takes under an hour in a good clan, what's to do with the other 23 hours but wait.

My children don't have access to smart phones or tables. But there are many who do. Overall, Clash is a kid-friendly world if you play in the right clan and avoid global. My point was that this base editor threatens that. But meonhoc's reply makes it clear that SC has thought of it and has a solution.

Clans who plan attacks for everyone based on the enemies base layout (ex, having a guy who is good at holowiwi attacking well suited bases) will be affected by this the most. People aren't going to know who they are supposed to attack until several hours after the war starts and aren't going to have a full 24 hours to get attacks in. This will affect clans with people in many different time zones the most, possibly discouraging multi-national war clans.

However it will be fun to make a base with all of my air defenses outside the walls and have it up all during prep day in hopes of suckering someone into making an all dragon army. lol

The short answer is yes, but hopefully not too much. More annoying is the changing actual bases thing, perhaps people should have to lock in bases 6 hours before (or 4, or 3, or even 2) to not make prep day completely useless?

Not too worried about inappropriate bases as that can always be reported.

But love the idea about messing with people's heads by changing designs in the last minutes of prep day. One of our members just went from town hall 8 to town hall 9 during prep day and added arch queen and two xbows at the last minute. I can only image what his equal must be thinking. lol.

In our clan (and a fair few other clans we have faced), already do this --- eg move base around till end of prep day.... Accordingly, we don't firm up plans till after the start........

Presumably people do this due to fluffyy bunny issues, or just to confuse enemy.....

I must admit the possibility of trolling in this manner, with the editor to make it easier, does amuse me, Usually I just mangle the base a bit till war day, but now we have the editor and saved bases, the possibiliites are endless.....

(good, clean(ish) fun of coures, nothing nasty....)
