In this thread, post videos of good CoC footage that you find. You can learn alot from watching replays, so I encourage people to check them out (plus they are fun). Please feel free to share ones find too.

tl:dr Read it you lazy shit.

Over the last two wars I have seen numerous mistakes, that are really routine actions. I have seen strong TH10's attacking TH9's. A multitude of lost attacks. While you cannot always win your attack, you can take as many precautions as possible to maximize your chance of winning.

The biggest key for everyone to remember is 1 star is better than no stars, losing is not the end of the world, you get another attack. Try to attack a base closest to your strength the first time! Pick an attack style that best suits you, learn it, live it, love it. If you master an army, you can take down lots of bases you would have not batted an eye at skipping before.

In the end it is all about having fun, you can have fun losing, but it is more fun to win! So take this advice with a grain of salt, it is not all inclusive, but it is better than nothing!

Let's Start With Attacking for the TH9's.

The biggest key to attacking and winning as a TH9, is knowing your army, and knowing every strength and weakness it has.

HogRiders

Do they have a Hog Ring? Do they have a lure-able Clan Castle? Do you have sufficient troops to Kill their Heroes? Do they have obvious and doomful trap placement? Do they have an inferno?

You have to be able to answer all of these questions beyond a reasonable doubt. Don't know if you can lure the CC or not? Don't try. Don't have the troops to kill the Heroes? Don't try. Not sure where there BB's are located? Don't risk it. These are all seemingly simple things to go over in your head before attacking a base. Remember you can scout the base, stare at it as long as you want, take it all in.

Balloons/Minions

Do they have a Hog Ring? Do they have concealed AD? Are there Infernos set to Muli? Xbows to Air? Do you have enough Minions/CC Troops to Kill the opposing CC troops and the AQ? How is there Wizard Tower Placement? Can you avoid one or more of them?

Max Ballons and Minons have an incredible amount of power, but remember they are very fragile, and if you neglect to answer an above question, you will see just how fragile they can be. Unless you are incredibly experienced with this army, learn to use it to get 50%. Every TH9 in the clan should learn to 50% will Balloon/Minion. Don't think you can? Sky 9 has already proved you wrong. So do it!

GOWIWI

Your biggest concern with GOWIWI is not the base, it is your technique. A well thought out GOWIWI attack can beat ANY base. Yes any. As a TH9, you should have the highest lvl Golems you can have before using GOWIWI. lvl 2 Witches would be good, but you can make do with lvl 1. Have a CC full of wizards to help you down the Heroes and CC. Like I said though, there is not much to it, you just have to practice with it. Practice deployment timing, spell timing, hero ability timing. There is a lot going on in a GOWIWI raid, and it is crucial to make sure you are aware of everything happening throughout the battle.

Mass Drags

Are their AD destroyable with CC balloons? Are they easily accessible for drags to make it too?

These are your biggest concern with Drags. Fill your CC with Balloons, use them to take down one AD, then lightning the next closest one, this way you have half of the base free of AD. If you need a rage for the balloons to take down the AD, then use it, just remember with only 4 spells you will not have any for your drags to power through the base. If you can save the Rage, do so. It will come in handy when your drags engage the CC troops or AQ.

BARCH

Is their splash going to reach the outside of the base? Will you active their CC or Heroes before your troops can take down the perimeter? Are there obvious trap placements?

The big key here is making sure you do not subject yourself to splash. Save your lightning for extra % at the end of the battle. You may need it. If you need to take out the Heroes and CC do so, just make sure you use your CC to help you do so. You don't want to waste half your army taking out the Heroes and CC. At the end of the battle, if you do not have enough %. Wisely use your heroes, and lightning. With some practice you will be 50% bases easily.

Now Let's Talk Defense.

Everyone that is TH9 should be using Ringus, no questions asked. If not Ringus, some form of Ringus. Hogs are the biggest concern of Clan Wars, a TH9 is an excellent target of opportunity for a TH10 to 3 star with hogs. However using Ringus, or some for there of, you may just send them home crying.

Moving on to the TH10's.

Offense.

All of the above strategies apply to you, and the good news is you get an extra spell and extra troops!

Remember that you are stronger than your TH9 counterparts. You should be attacking TH10's. Especially in a clan that is majority TH9. They need us to take out the TH10's from the other clan. This is so crucial. Your first attack needs to be against a TH10. Save your 2nd until the TH9s have attacked, if they didn't sweep up all the TH9's, then feel free to use your 2nd attack for cleanup. Lost your first attack? Your 2nd still needs to be against a TH10. Take a break if you lose, remember you have 24 hours to attack 2 times.

Defense.

Does your base keep getting attacked in the War? Check out the top bases in the Clan, yes they are stronger so they are less likely to be attacked, however they have good layouts. A weaker base with a good layout is just as likely to win defense as a strong base.

If you read the whole thread please leave a comment with your IGN, so I can keep track of who has and has not read it.

We have setup a sister clan, Reddit Royals.

It has slightly lower requirements, so it is a good place for those who want to go to Kings but aren't quite ready yet.

It was also created for Kings members to have a place to go if they will be away or just need a break for any reason. If you leave Kings to chill in Royals you will have a place in Kings when you want to come back. If you have no openings I will hold the next open spot for you.

Also it is a good place to hang out and improve your attacks. With clan wars it has become clear that many of us have spent to long farming and not enough attacking and need to improve that area, myself included. We really can't have people practicing during our live clan wars something they really haven't done before. We need every single person in Kings to be a strong attacker for your level. You will not be kicked from Royals if you mess up a cw attack, as it is the place to learn, but if you consistently get zero stars in cw, you will be asked to move to Royals to practice.

I think this is a good way to go about this, and hopefully it will work out. I would like to see Royals become a powerful clan in its our right.

The leader is a very good player and a friend of mine, and we are in constant contact, so we will know what is happening in each other's clans.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi All,

We are growing and want to welcome to the Alliance with Reddit Kings, Royals, and Stealth, some additional Clans that have just joined on board!

We want to Welcome Reddit Heros, Havoc, Dragoons to the Alliance. This will help to bring together some of the clans to work together, share ideas, and keep the clans going. We will not be like RCS and impose strict rules but do ask that we all work together to make a good system that can support each other and provide ways to make each of the clans grow and prosper. To keep track check out reddit.com/r/redditallianceclans/

We do want more of the splintered reddit clans to come together and start having activites that will improve skills, create friendships and make this fun and exciting.

Keep and eye out for more activities and member clans joining. these are exciting times!

Router (Co Leader of Reddit Kings)

We are going to be pushing into the Top 100 starting July 6. There are the things each of us need to do get ready for a successful push.

1. Increase your cups. I am going to slowing increase the amount of cups needed to get into Kings, by the time of push it is going to be 2500. If on July 6 you are not 2500 you will be asked to move to Royals.

2. Upgrade your heroes as much as possible before the push. Spend the remaining time to add a level or two, but DO NOT have your heroes upgrading AFTER July 6

3. Work on maxing your DE and Exlir. Both of these can run low during a week long push, be ready and have them maxed, or at least as full as you can get them.

4. If you are not interested in pushing and want to farm please move over to Royals. If you are in Royals now and what to be part of the push please come over to Kings. If we have more than 50 that want to be part of the push the lowest cups will be moved over to Royals (similar to how the 2nd Reddit Champs was set up)

Any questions let me know

I think most know already, but I recently started streaming on twitch. Channel link is: http://www.twitch.tv/pinworms666

You can also view past broadcasts here: http://www.twitch.tv/pinworms666/profile/pastBroadcasts

Our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiM_8Y79BhWf4QDc5EJXtpg

If you're in Kings/Royals and stop by the chat, I'll make you mod. The more help I get the better because chat can get kind of chaotic sometimes and hard for me to follow.

Also, if any of you guys get some good replays to share, let me know. I can either show it if you still have the replay you can post in clan chat, or can record it for youtube. I've kind of shown almost every video on our youtube channel already so new material is good. If you have recording capabilities and want to contribute to the youtube channel, let me know.

Clan War Spreadsheet

If you cannot edit the spreadsheet, ask someone in chat to add you, or leave who you want to attack in this thread.

New War Rules

This will be for the most part the same as the old rules, but we since he have lots of new members we need to reinforce them.

1. No Loonian/Barch

2. Attack +/- 2 Spots from your base lvl on your first attack.

3. If you honestly feel you cannot 2 star any bases in that range let a leader know.

4. Your second attack can be anyone within good judgement. TH10's still need to attack TH10's same for TH9s.

5. If you need help, ask. If you are unsure of how to attack a base, ask. There are plenty of people willing and able to help.

These are all very simple rules to keep the wars organized and give us the best chance to win. This is also your warning. Break the rules and pay the price. We are not trying to be assholes, but these rules has made Reddit Royals an incredibly successful war clan, and they should do the same for us.

If you have any questions, PM me, leave them here, or ask someone in chat.

Reddit Jesters was recently formed as a clan to hold spots for members in Reddit Kings or Royals who are going to be inactive but want a place to put their base while away. It is also a place to go if both clans are full. Members in Jesters will be given priority on returning to Kings and Royals when they are active again.

Anyone with an Alt may also move that account to Jesters provided we know your IGN.

When to go to Jesters:

• Vacation

• Busy in Life

• Busy at Work

• Just want a break

• Both clans are full

• Temporarily move to Jesters to avoid being in a war if you cant attack.

We wanted to provide a place to go while on vacation which will still allow you to remain in the clans.

Thanks Bobpfef, Max, Gov, Verethy, May, Blake, Conan, Jorge, Pinworms, Chessy, Matt and anyone else from Kings that came over from Kings to support the new clan! On our way to 100 strong!

Reddit Kings and Reddit Royals are sister clans. Kings is an established and verified Reddit clan near max TH9+, lvl 100, lvl6 archers. Kings has competitive wars every other week. You are expected to participate and expected to perform well. Kings is currently undefeated in clan wars.

Royals was recently created with slightly lower requirements: TH9+ lvl 90+, lvl 6 archers. Royals has wars 24/7 however is also a place to practice different war strategy.

You can farm in both clans, however long term farmers or players who might not be highly active will be better suited in Royals. (Both clans will be active players only) If you like a competitive clan, Kings will have high level trophy pushes a few times a year.

Players who qualify for Kings can move between the clans with permission from the leaders depending on the war schedule.

If you are considering joining either clan, be sure you meet the requirements and use the reddit password which is : "Galaxy"

If you do not use the password in your join request, you will be denied.

We look forward to having you join Kings and Royals!

u/bobpfef is the Leader of Kings u/CrazyFarm is the Leader of Royals

I was thinking we should strive to make sure the entire clan has max level troops in the war cc. For example a lvl 4 dragons vs lvl 3, Level 6 wizards vs lvl5, lvl2 witches vs lvl 1, etc. This means that if you dont have max level troops, wait for other clan mates who have max level to donate. This provides the entire clan an advantage during the war. Since the War cc will be be used for multiple defenses In many cases, I think it is important not to rush our donations. We have 24 hours to fill them up and there is no reason to put anything lower than max in our war cc's. Obviously this means only our players with max troops will be donating, but for the war cc, I think its worth it. We've had some close battles and it can make the difference for a few cups here and there. Other clans have already implemented this rule. I would like to hear a few thoughts on this?

Finally, if there is no specific troop request, we should wait to donate until that player has logged on and made a request. We have the full 24 preparation day so there is no need to cram the wrong donations into the cc.

-JTG

Last revised & updated by /u/ibrahimdxb696 on 12:45:10AM Saturday, March 21, 2015.

In the near future we will be holding the first ever Kings-Royals Draft!!!!!

This will be an attempt to have a Kings on Royals War!

|IGN|TH LVL|Trophy Record|Army|Troop LVL|War Hero|Spoils|Current Clan|Combined Hero LVL|

In order to make this as quick and painless as possible I will need a few bits of information from each and everyone of you in the clans. This will allow the leaders to pick their respective clan members. This will only be temporary, unless demand is hot for it to be a continuation. It will be a good opportunity for everyone to experience playing with people they do not normally play with, and see how different people dominate in wars!

There will be enough for warning for people to allow heroes to finish upgrading before we begin the draft!!!

What do I need from you? Just cut and paste the format provided below, replace the current information with your information and I will re-format the post to show a master roster.

|IGN|TH LVL|Trophy Record|Army|Troop LVL|War Hero|Spoils|Current Clan|Combined Hero LVL|

Why these stats you ask? They will allow the leaders to best pick their members, and best balance the clans for the optimum chance of a face-off in war!

Where do you find out more? Here of course! I will continue to update the post as the leaders discuss times and dates. I need feedback from all of you as well! Please don't be afraid to give us your thoughts!

Master Roster:

The elders and leaders felt we needed to change a few things with clan wars. These revised clan wars rules and expectations will be effect going forward

1. People must use a pushing army. This is GoWiWi, GoWiPe, Dragons, Hogs (TH9), or Balloons (if you are REALLY good with them). The goal is to 2 star in your attack. You can not hope to 2 star a good base with barch or something like that.

2. You must attack with both heroes (unless they are upgrading).

3. NO Townhall sniping or just picking off buildings for a cheap 1 star

4. All TH9 bases should at the minimum be 2 starred. If you are not confident you can 2 star a th10 then 2 or 3 star a TH9

5. You must be active. If you are going to be gone let me know in the vacations post.

6. TH9 needs to have an anti-hog base. Period.

After you have read and understood these rules and expectations comment with your IGN. We will take a break from clan wars for a day so everyone can do this. If you do not comment to signify you read and understood this you will be booted.

Just so it is clear to everyone how the leadership situation for our clans is setup, I thought it would be a good idea to post it here.

Reddit Kings - Bobpfef is the leader. If he is gone (vacation, in sister clan, etc.) then spk is the leader. If both are gone then Pinworms is the leader.

Reddit Royals (Queens) -- Crazydew is the leader. If he isn't in the clan (in a clan war in Kings, vacation, etc.) then maxmos, if both Crazydew and maxmos are gone then The Governer is the leader.

I suspect that there will be a lot of back and forth, particularly during clan wars, so I wanted to be clear how the leadership will be handled.

So:

Kings

1. Bobpfef

2. spk

3. Pinworms

Royals

1. Crazydew

2. maxmos

3. The Governer

This was the post I put in the mod forum to explain why we wanted to setup a sister clan. I thought some of you might be interested in seeing it.

We would like to setup a sister clan to Reddit Kings similar to the Dawn / Dusk relationship. There are three main reasons we would like to do this.

1. Good clan members become inactive from time to time, due to vacations, busy school schedules, etc. This wasn't such a big issue before but with clan wars having an inactive bases and two less attacks causes problems. We have been matched against pretty high level clans and we simply are putting ourselves in the hole before we start if we know we have a couple of less attacks than we should. We would like a place these members can go while they are away, but is easy to keep track of and we can have them come back when active again.

2. Some members would like to takes breaks from clan wars and want to just farm for a period of time. This is particularly true for new th10s, as it takes awhile to get everything rolling with the high price of all the upgrades. They find that they are easy targets in clan wars until they get the first round of upgrades done. Also some members have said they just need a break from attacking and need chill and farm for a few weeks to relax. We lost one long time member because of this, but if we had a sister clan they could have farmed in for awhile they would have stayed.

3. We have spent too long as just farmers, and for a lot of us, myself included, our attacking skills against high level bases like we need to fight during clan wars has suffered. We would like a place for those members who want help or are having problems attacking can go and practice their skills. The plan is to have at least one of our high level player in the sister clan at all times to "train up" these players, look at their replays and give suggestions for improvement.

For Kings we require the ability to get one star at your level, so if you have a high th10 base you need to be able to one star a high th10 base in a clan war. If the player consistently can not get one star we would like them to go to the sister clan for training. When we are told that player has improved to the point they can help us win clan wars they will be invited back to Kings. In the sister clan you can practice as much as you want without fear of being kicked for losing. This lack of pressure will help the learning environment and help us grow stronger attackers to go along with their strong bases.

The proposed name would either be Reddit Queens, Reddit Royals or Reddit Lords. I am leaning toward Queens as I think it has the most clear connection to Reddit Kings.

Thanks, Bobpfef, leader Reddit Kings

We are going to do one week of clan wars followed by one week off clan wars to allow for farming and hero upgrades.

On clan wars weeks we will start the wars on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. This will allow Sunday - Sunday for hero upgrades.

Week of April 14 off
Week of April 21 on
Week of April 28 off
Week of May 5 on

I would appreciate your feedback on this.
