I am the leader of The Vipers in your Clash of Clans game. We have the 11th most wins in Clash of Clans, and I want to give you some feedback on how to make clan wars much harder for the top clans.

After talking to some people that use it, here are my suggestions to help destroy the sandboxing feature available that some people use to ♥♥♥♥♥ in war. I am a software developer as well, and I think these suggestions might work.

  1. Allow a player to specify two different locations for every giant bomb/tesla. Each time a player is attacked, send the exact placement of the giant bombs and teslas based on a randomization function.
  2. If a player or coleader is watching a base get attacked, allow them to trigger the defender’s king/queen ability.
  3. If someone is attacked by a much weaker opponent and gets only 20% total destruction or less, increase the damage of the defensive units by 5% for all subsequent attacks. This will penalize a bunch of sandboxers who put one archer down and then quit.
  4. Allow archer towers to prefer to target either ground or air troops. Or, maybe randomize the feature every defense. This will just add complexity to attack. So many of my clanmates see the matchup and immediately exclaim things like ‘Look at 11, that layout is so easy to three star. Every single CW I have ever been in has someone that has 11’s layout.’
  5. Allow a player already attacked to switch the places of his teslas.
  6. Hogs released in the first 30 seconds do not trigger giant bombs. Sandboxers send singleton hogs out because they know the location of the bombs.
  7. While this will not hurt sandboxing, reduce the attack time from 3:30 back down to 3:00 or 3:10. I thought this was a bizarre change that helps everyone three star all bases. Since this rule came out, The Vipers are getting a perfect war every tenth war we fight. It was a really bad idea.
  8. Allow a player to specify how many seconds an xbow will shoot at the same target before switching to the next target, or, randomly determine this each game time.
  9. Allow players to switch air mines to giant bombs and vice versa.
  10. Have air pumps disrupt poison spells. In my opinion, poison really hurt the game. It switched CC’s to all Dragon or Lavahound. Gone are the tricky witches and wizard combo!
  11. Instead of getting a CC spell to bring to war, can you specify a spell that would be less effective when a person attacks?
  12. Have CC troops come out in the same order they are put in. Again, this will add variance.
  13. Healers in Clan castle should focus on queen, then king, then defense.
  14. The second time a village is attacked, have the defense in war be 1% stronger.
  15. I bet if you constantly added or subtracted 1 pixel to the map size every attack or defense, you would destroy the ability of sandboxers to get tesla locations from replay.
  16. Only let someone watch a replay of a particular village ONCE in the same 6 hour period. This will disrupt sandboxer’s ability to practice for a whole day.
  17. Put the word ‘REPLAY' in a random location in a random color. I think this will disrupt sandboxer’s ability to grab tesla locations. Maybe put it over at least one giant bomb or tesla.
  18. If a person has an attack to do and replays a base that is not three starred, first play 5 seconds of a replay of ANOTHER base. This should mess up the sandboxing programs.
  19. Let people switch what is in their clan castles after every defense.
  20. Figure out people’s three star percentage and calculate that into your clan war matchups.
  21. Have clan war win % ever so slightly impact clan war rankings.
  22. Allow Teslas to double damage to either Pekka, Hog or Balloon, player specified.
  23. If someone ever uses the word “♥♥♥♥♥♥” in chat, immediately suspend their account for an hour and do not put comment in chat. People learn about sandboxing via other players.
  24. If someone previews a layout, ensure that the heroes are sleeping, the x-bows are empty and that the inferno towers are empty. Currently, this disrupts the person sandboxing the first attack because it makes it seem much easier than it is.
