Thanks I try to figure out how things work. I have some background with computer processing and code. (not a lot, but enough to be 'dangerous').

One thing people likely assume wrong is that replays are videos. It isn't YouTube. Replays are basicly just scripts. It is a set of instructions that tell phone clients how to play the actors (aka army units and defences) on your phone. It is less data intenseive to send a typed script/screenplay of a movie than it is to send the video of a completed movie. This is how many games run, sending directions to and from the server, moving abstract objects, and those objects turning into entertaining characters and enemies on the game screen.

This is likely why all our replays are gone after server maintenance. To make sure there are no glitches, old scripts are erased, because what is used to run those scripts could have been updated and changed, making 'words and instructions' in older scripts unusable, or liable to cause errors. Updating all those scripts is just more trouble than it is worth, and so just get purged. You don't usually need to save all of them, so they are wholesale erased on that assumption.

Interesting, thanks for the info! So maybe it would be possible...?

What if we could watch our clan's multiplayer attacks live?
Or what if we could send an invite to our clan to have them watch our own multiplayer attack live?

Much like watching a clan war attack live, I would love to be able to watch any given attack from a Clanmate, or invite a specific person in my clan to watch my own. One way that this could be possible is if, while searching for an enemy base, there is a button that says "show attack live", which would send a button link to the clan chat for anyone to click on and watch.

It's a pretty small suggestion, but what do you think?

Please reply if you agree!

this would be cool but clash of clans would crash every 5 minutes

The more accurate questions is 'Is it worth doing?' Technical aspects aside (which personally I think won't be a big problem), would it be worth the work to add this into the game? 'Worth the work' means does it makes the game more entertaining enough to players for the time, money, and effort put into it. Supercell works hard at making a fun game, but keeping things simple, more or less.

Long story short, that's why I suggested what I did. It take advantage of what is currently there, and keeps the User Interface simple.
