Guys and Gals - You don't have to skip that base!!

[carlito]

So people...

• you see a base with 200k+ loot,
• you get excited!
• you see the L7 walls, L6 mortars and wiz towers and your hand automatically movers towards the "Next" button
• STOP!!!

It does not have to end like that...sometimes a little bit of insight can reap large rewards...welcome to phantom loot!

Yes, because the loot is in the collectors and mines...

Lol, let me see, no league badge, empty x-bows, empty storage. Wonder where all that loot is? Good tutorial and raid though.

Yes, quite. The point I was trying to make is that it was not immediately obvious. Some people may click next on this base because they would not realise that they can take most of the gold very easily...Some people do not even know what an empty X Bow looks like...I'm just trying to help

I have released troops on a tonne of these sorts of bases only to find that the loot is in fact in the storages...dont be fooled by the lack of badge...

And if you play a lot, you will know that a L11 storage can easily look empty but actually have 70k in it (3 x 70 for the 200k loot)...people have made threads about what they call a glitch. When the attack starts, you will see that the pumps then switch to looking full...in any case, just trying to help

Gravestones, no sign in storages, xbow not loaded.

Okay, I see your point. So hitting next immediately when seeing this kind of base probably means giving away easy loot to others.

I realize all of this and my reply wasn't intended to make light of your thread, sorry if that's how it seemed. Something I look for is lower level pumps, they will show more elixer in them which is a good indication that resources haven't been collected.

Oh, I see your point...by others you mean people like you an me! Ok...Shhhh...mums the word
