I joined little house this morning

6/11/2014 6:52:51 AM

^^done

6/11/2014 9:02:12 AM

woke up and saw I got booted from the big house. harsh.

6/19/2014 8:06:18 AM

doh. they get a little banhammer happy sometimes. did you use both attacks last war/have a decent donation ratio?

6/19/2014 4:07:29 PM

i recall a town hall being left outside

6/19/2014 5:34:02 PM

^^yes on both
^moved it inside once I saw the message. Hadn't played since clan wars were a thing.

6/19/2014 10:47:00 PM

yeaaa thatd do it lol

6/19/2014 10:50:48 PM

My clan keeps getting destroyed by Chinese people. They're so coordinated it's ridiculous. Sometimes we'll be winning by a good margin and then in the last two minutes they have like 20 guys attack at once.

6/20/2014 1:08:07 PM

^we do that too. if you start an attack before the time runs out, the stars still count. so we usually start several attacks with a few seconds left.

6/20/2014 2:25:18 PM

I need a clan, guys. lvl 6 TH. Tired of playing with idiots.

What's the clan name of Tdubbers?

6/20/2014 2:40:50 PM

6/20/2014 2:52:00 PM

6/20/2014 5:42:26 PM

Ha. Friggin hook me up.

6/20/2014 6:05:21 PM

our lower few people are already getting hosed in clan war...your base doesn't look too great to be honest

6/20/2014 6:14:04 PM

7/2/2014 8:26:34 PM

Would like to join up because I am pretty active and enjoy the game, but you guys make The Big House sound like Probation lol.

have you joined "The Littlehouse" yet

7/4/2014 11:25:49 PM

Just joined...

7/4/2014 11:56:09 PM

Clan is about to be 33-3-1 in clan wars so far. The new AI changes for King and Queen have really changed my go-to hog raider attack strategy.

7/5/2014 10:17:10 PM

I saw they changed the AI of the King and Queen. What was the main difference in now vs. then?

BTW...someone hit me up to join a clan.

I fucking rotted in THELITTLEHOUSE for 2 weeks and did nothing. Not enough people to start a war, etc. Now im in a really active clan, but don't know anyone.

7/5/2014 11:37:45 PM

do yall use something like Groupme or Line or Kakao for all your battle plans? Or do they have some shitty in-app chat

7/6/2014 12:16:11 AM

Now they can't be lured out to the edges of the base anymore like the castle troops. So they just sit and wait for the attacking troops to get close and they don't wander far anymore.

7/6/2014 7:06:12 AM

i stopped playing this game like a year ago. Is it any better?

7/6/2014 8:46:22 AM

so that's why you ignored my invite lol

7/6/2014 10:13:00 AM

I just got home from a two-week cruise and saw the new updates. I haven't raided enough to form an opinion yet.

The amount of resources I lost while I was away is staggering. My attack history has a lot of 400k gold/400k elixir/3400 dark elixir losses -- mostly from hogs/heal spells -- but I only lost one trophy while I was gone. Still hovering around 2250 trophies. It looks like I may have to shed a few trophies to get the gold I need to re-maximize my Hidden Tesla towers.

7/6/2014 7:31:10 PM

I could probably be better than the bottom 5 or so guys in big house. Possible to get an invite to big house? Town hall level 7 I always donate and always attack. Name on the game is andrew and I'm currently in the clan ?wtf?

I'd prefer to know I can get an invite before dumping the clan I'm in even though it sucks

[Edited on July 7, 2014 at 10:08 PM. Reason : Guess I gotta join little house first.. I'm in there]

7/7/2014 9:50:58 PM

you people need to say who you are when saying you're in the littlehouse, unless it's the same name as on here (I haven't looked yet)

7/7/2014 10:17:45 PM

sorry, I am bertis in the little house

7/8/2014 9:22:53 AM

is the Big House clan all TWW and State people? I'm in a pretty good clan but we've been kinda sucking it up in the last few clan wars. I think we've won 21 though.

I have a non-rushed TH8 and range between 1700-2000 trophies depending on if I'm farming or not. I'll be going to TH9 pretty soon. I wouldn't be trying to hang around in a 12 person feeder clan though at all.

7/8/2014 3:27:04 PM

no, only a few of us are NC State

I joined it because a bunch of my coworkers were in it, and then I 'recruited' some State people

7/8/2014 5:49:53 PM

Started playing today... Pretty fun! Hopefully I may join the Big House clan... eventually... Galaxy Legend just doesn't do it for me anymore...

NCSUALUM, do you know about how to draw the enemy defense's clan castle troops?

7/9/2014 11:14:34 AM

Never really needed to in the past, but i think I have the hang of it after watching some other battles.

7/9/2014 4:51:53 PM

I never had the need to worry with enemy clan castle troops until I got to about 2200 trophies, and by that time, the clan castles were usually placed well enough that the CC troops couldn't be lured. Either way, I just throw 40 balloons, 20 minions and a CC dragon at the base, and that, along with my spells, will take care of business regardless of what he's hiding in his castle. I do keep one lightning spell on hand to take care of a castle full of archers if the need arises.

7/9/2014 5:22:19 PM

So, how important is clan castle? Should I rush to get it set up? what are my priorities with 2D left of shield and a TH3?

7/9/2014 7:20:54 PM

If I were you, I would disregard the shield altogether. You can steal resources by raiding far quicker than you'll lose them to attacks or by sitting on a shield.

You have to have a clan castle to join a clan. Your clan mates can donate troops, which are an excellent defense, particularly if you are just starting out and join a clan with moderately strong troops.

Some general tips for starting out:

- Don't worry about trying to earn trophies at first. Resources are more important. Therefore, attack bases where you can steal as much as possible from collectors/mines that are outside the walls and unprotected. If you get 50 percent and a victory, great. If not, it really doesn't matter. I can't remember how much your storages hold at town hall level 3, but I don't attack anything with less than 200,000 gold and elixir. Down there, I'd probably target bases with at least 25,000+ (or whatever the max your storage units can hold).
- Maximize everything before upgrading your town hall. This can be ignored for town hall level 3-4, but once you get to TH5, it becomes very important, as you get a loot penalty for attacking town halls that are lower than yours.
- Put a priority on resource collection and storage early in the game, followed by maximizing your army camps (more troops = more loot) and then finally your defenses.
- When you get up to town hall 5 or 6, I'd reverse the order and start focusing more on defensive upgrades. (At TH3, you're going to get smoked by pretty much any focused attack anyway.)
- For defensive structures, upgrade anything with splash damage first (wizard towers and mortars), followed by archer towers (they can target both air and ground), cannons and finally air defenses.
- Don't ignore your walls. A lot of players do. I did, and it took me forever to catch up.
- Speaking of walls, your base should be heavily segmented. Protect your gold and elixir storages and your defenses before anything else. Many players (myself included) like to "farm," which means placing your town hall in an unprotected corner of the map. This encourages players to take the easy trophies by beating your town hall and getting one star. The upside for you is a free 12-hour shield in which no one can take your loot.
- The only reason to care about trophies early in the game is to try to race to 1250 to get 450 gems, which you can use for an extra builder hut. (Don't spend gems on anything other than extra builder huts.)

7/9/2014 10:24:02 PM

Thank you for the advice. I've saved every bit of my gems so far, even in the beginning when they said "hey! use gems to accelerate the build time!"

I've got resources. What I don't have is enough time upgrading everything... Sounds like I'm on the right track Thank you.

7/10/2014 12:09:10 AM

^to add onto the part about looking for resources outside the base, most people at that level put everything in a row and all together (one side mines, one side pumps) and look at the pumps to see how full they are. Mines will almost always show gold in the tray but look at the pumps because if they're full, the mines will be too and if the storages are empty, most of the gold/elixir available will be in those outside mines/pumps.

on the same token, protect your mines/pumps by spacing them intermittently with barracks or whatever other non-defensive structures so they can just spam you with goblins.

also, I found this out super late but when you pull up your barracks to build troops, there's an arrow tab that lets you select between your barracks. I was putting them all together because I was clicking them individually to build troops and it was easier

7/10/2014 12:12:32 AM

If it hasn't been said yet, you can usually avoid bombs (when raiding) if you see that there are still tombstones that the other person hasn't collected yet, this also means their collectors might have a good amount of loot, especially if the storages don't look like they're full. If the tombstones are there, then the base probably hasn't reset their bombs/traps

7/10/2014 7:51:10 AM

Well... I joined the little house. Still a TH3, but most of my buildings are maxed out. 336 gems to boot. I feel pretty good since I started playing about 70 hours ago.

Started playing recently myself. Just been upgrading resources heavily so far

7/12/2014 3:24:03 PM

I see plenty of cash for walls up there...

7/12/2014 4:14:54 PM

I'll buy defenses in the last 24 hours. Don't need them yet with the shield.

7/12/2014 4:33:55 PM

ahh gotcha, didnt even think about that

7/12/2014 7:38:51 PM

I'm moving up the ranks in The LittleHouse

457 gems...only 43 more for my 3rd builders hut...and i didnt waste any of them on the tutorial...i've seen that trick in too many apps
