    Thanks for the compliment, Danny. I'm going to shoot some TH8 content this week/weekend! In the meantime, there's at least 6 or 7 TH8 videos already on the channel

    Private Coaching Opportunities

    Recently I began offering private, preferential coaching to Clashers for a small premium. We connect on the chatting application "GroupMe" and I make myself available nearly 16 hours of every day to:

    • Plan attacks, including which troops to bring, which spells to bring and where/when to drop them;
    • Help with base designing;
    • Offer advice on what to upgrade and when; and
    • Review war replays to offer advice on how to improve.


    The fee depends on which services you're interested in and are negotiated on a case-by-case basis - everything is very affordable.

    Anyone that is interested in receiving private, preferential coaching should get in touch with me via email at castlescocemail@gmail.com.

    Clashers that I am currently coaching are available to offer testimonials with respect to the coaching that they have received thus far.

    Of course, I will continue to update my YouTube channel and reply to comments there and here on the forums for free The coaching service is simply an additional, more intensive service that I am offering.

    You didn't reply to the thread you created about not funneling properly. What was your conclusion? Did you realise the error?

    The post had more to do with SCs decision not to include in the AQ's AI preferential targeting of clan castle troops.

    However, I do believe that the funnel was perfectly fine. She was as close to the North canon as she was to the enemy CC and the mortar in the open compartment, but she still elected to run away from the opening to the North of the base. Doesn't seem right.

    The game is set up now such that you have to break two funnels, the one outside the base and then the one inside the base otherwise your AQ is going to wander off. Not cool.

    The fact that a majority of players think the AQ is broken is very telling as well.

    Oh, I thought you were looking for help to correct an attack.

    No, that's irrelevant. Blaming the mechanics is just an excuse. The current AI is very consistent if you understand it properly. As players we have to work within the bounds of the game. I'd have thought that a self-proclaimed Clash coach would be more about learning what went wrong and helping others to avoid the mistake than saying "This game is broken, it's not my fault". Doesn't seem like a great advert for potential clients.

    I strongly disagree. I am not blaming mechanics, I am complaining about the way that they are set up. Do I like the way that the AQ works? No. Do I agree with it based on the other mechanics of the game? No. Can I work around it? Yes. Am I entitled to voice my opinion about how the game could be improved? Of course. Just like everyone else.

    In the post about the AQ I never said that the game is broken. One of the poll options made light of the fact that many people complain about the AQ being broken, but I never asserted that she was. In fact, I didn't even comment on the game. I asked what people thought the AQ did based on the picture.

    Following that, you tracked me down to this thread and pressed me on the issue. This is where I commented directly on how I think the game could be improved. Specifically, I voiced my displeasure with the AI of the AQ. I commented on how the developers have created a situation where a player has to destroy two funnels, and suggested that it's a poor decision on their part.

    I've not once suggested that I can't work around anything or that the game isn't still enjoyable as is.

    You're drawing number of inferences and putting words in my mouth. Maybe you should find another way to spend your time than hating on the internet.

    This will be my last interaction with you. My thread is for chill, friendly clashers looking to improve. I would appreciate that you send any further comments to me directly so that my thread doesn't become cluttered with this non-related discussion. Thanks.

    I'm not hating at all. I applaud anyone who wants to help others. But your initial thread was disingenuous. You made it seem as tho you wanted to examine or discuss why AQ behaved as it did when in actual fact you wanted to blame the mechanics for a failure. Anyone who elects to 'teach' or help others must accept that responsibility comes with a duty not to mislead people with unhelpful or erroneous information. AQ AI has changed but it is not broken or inconsistent. You have a platform to help others, I think it's important to do that.

    A YouTuber who has a wider reach than either of us similarly caused an issue for himself when he claimed that 2 stars win wars recently. A suggestion that AQ AI is broken or inconsistent is similarly unhelpful and the community deserves better than that in my opinion.

    I hope you understand the intent behind this is far from personal and more interested in creating the strongest, most helpful community possible.

    I wish you all the best with your coaching.
