6th Anniversary Birthday Cake!

Every time we get an anniversary or pretty much a mayor holiday, we get a special decoration to celebrate. With the 6th Anniversary we got a new Bday Cake!

Yum
Why is it Blue? Idk, but its pretty nice. Im sure it will be available for the whole month until the 1 gem boost event is over, so make sure to make it spawn!

I got mine spawned in just today. You need to have quite a few obstacles around before it spawns, at least that was my case.

Have Fun!

Discussion: Why i think Engineered bases can still be done/used after the update

Engineering has been quite the problem for about a year now in COC. Case you didnt know, engineered bases are bases which focus on Offense AND OFFENSE ONLY, leaving behind Defenses, with the exception of Teslas and Traps, to decrease your War Weight, which is a hidden value which determines where you will be placed in the war map, helpful to get a lower level mirror.

Engineering a base can be much less time consuming and more rewarding overall, since you will just be upgrading your Offense and leaving your defenses behind. Some people confuse it with rushing, but its completely different.

Since the recent Town Hall 12 update, something was added to prevent engineering, which is having to build all buildings in your Town Hall level before upgrading... But does that change anything? The answer: Kind of, but not really.

Engineered base in 2017. This one is a TH11.

So how can you engineer after the update?

You now must "strategically rush", where you upgrade all your offense for your Town Hall level and then upgrade to the next Town Hall, but now you need to build all defenses. Leave said defenses un-upgraded, as you want to get to TH 10-11 as fast as possible, and yes, you will need to farm DE at TH 7,8 and 9, but its really the only farming you will do, since Gold wont be used much, and the most you will farm for will be for Elixir.

Now: Are they as effective as before? Not really, but if you want to engineer its an option and its interesting to focus your base to JUST war.

Engineering was more effective before, but thanks to the recent matchmaking changes, engineered bases arent as strong as before, as with a clan with so many engineers, they will get matched with more engineers.

Should you engineer in 2018? I still think you should! As i said, its fun and interesting to skip everything and just upgrade offense, plus if you hate the grinding and waiting of COC, engineering is a fun and fast way to go.

Birthday event: 1 Gem Boosts FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH!

Its boosting time! As celebration of the 6th anniversary of COC, Supercell has decided to give us 1 gem boosts FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH!

All of August, you can boost your Collectors for 1 gem only, including the Dark Elixir Drills, Gold Mines, and Elixir Pumps. How awesome!



Now lets run some maths shall we?

1- How much will it cost to run the boosts for an entire month?
It will cost about 510 gems to boost for an entire month. Now that might be a hefty amount, and its also at max level collectors, so lower leveled collectors will mean you will pay less, but keep in mind its optional. Personally, i recommend just boosting the Dark Elixir Drills if you dont have alot of Gems, since its 2-3 gems for those. 2-3 X 30 = 60-90 gems for an entire month.

2- Ok thats alot, but if i do boost for an entire month: How much will i earn?
Thanks to reddit user spideyismywingma, we got the amount of loot you will obtain. Here it is:

"If you have maxed collectors and keep them running constantly, that 510 gems will net you 216,000 Dark Elixir and over 21 million Gold and Elixir each. For context, that's about 13,000 gems worth of loot."

Sweet jesus. Now thats considering you dont get raided/looted, but its still an amazing amount.

Now for you Number Crunchers out there, reddit user Peldin83 got ya covered with this great answer:

"1 gem per collector. You have 7 gold and 7 elixir collectors. Total = 14 gems."
"Each collector produces 4200/hr normally. 7 collectors produce 705,600 per day normally. When you boost, you get an additional 705,600 gold and 705,600 elixir per day. In 2 days, you spend 28 gems (14 x 2) and you get 1,412,000 additional gold and 1,412,000 additional elixir. Now, if you account for the fact that you don't keep some of these resources because you get attacked, you're probably looking at maybe 1 mil or so of gold and elixir that you actually gain, give or take.

Alternatively, you can spend 25 gems on a training potion which will lower the training time of troops, heroes, and spells by 75% which essentially allows you to attack 4 times more often for an hour. Most farming armies take 30 minutes or less to train. So normally you can make two attacks every hour. When you use the training potion, you can make 8 attacks in the same hour using the same farming army. A typical farming attack should net you around 500k gold and elixir. So with two attacks per hour, you can farm 1 mil gold and elixir per hour. But with a boost, you can farm 4 mil gold and elixir in an hour. The difference is 3 mil additional gold and elixir.

So in comparison, boosting collectors costs 28 gems for 1 mil gold/elixir. Buying a training potion costs 25 gems for 3 mil gold/elixir. Of course, that 3 mil can vary based on the competency of your farming. If you are only netting 300k per attack with a 30 minute army, then a training potion will only make you an additional 1.8 mil gold and elixir. Still a lot better than collectors."

Now the only question remains: How will i farm those gems? Pretty easily actually. You just need to remove stuff from your village, and from the Builder Base. All this alongside having a Gem Mine in the Builder Base should give you a good amount of gems to boost everything.

Overall, i think if you have a good amount of gems, get those collectors boosted, otherwise just boost Drills so you can get a great amount of Dark Elixir.

As of now, im boosting everything, but as soon as i start hitting a low amount of Gems im going to start boosting just the drills, but we will see.

Have Fun!

Maintenance (30/07/2018): The grand Eagle Artillery rework

Maintenance day! Aside from the server keep-up, the Eagle Artillery is receiving some changes

1-No more Triple Damage against Golems: Was supposed to be live last update, but never made it in. I guess its because it made Golems underpowered? Then again, they have removed the triple damage to Pekkas from Teslas, so i guess they dont want more specific targeting and damaging buildings.

2- Eagle Artillery Lvl 3 now deals correct damage.

Aside from this, Replays will no longer be available once the maintenance is done, so rip those 2 replays i didnt get to record.
