The complete guide to Clash of Clans
Clash of Clans was released back in 2012, but the game has remained one of the most popular titles among Android and iOS players alike. The game offers a unique mixture of base-building, real-time strategy, and PvP that is easy-to-learn and hard-to-smarter.
The enjoyable gameplay will turn people into fans almost immediately. Players have to create smart strategies that allow them to raid enemies while also keeping an eye on the security of their base. Some people found great friends in a clan, which is quite a feat for a mobile title.
Here are some interesting facts about the game:
- Clash of Clans continues to generate more than $5 million in revenue per day.
- The game studio has been recently valued at $5.5 billion.
- One of the most popular Clash of Clans players trained continuously for six months by playing on five devices at the same time. Some say that he took the devices in the shower with him.
- Another top-ranking Clash of Clans player has declared that he spends up to $7,000 per month on his village. The sum seems to be high but its only about 10% of what he earns each month.
- Almost 30 million people play the game each month, and new accounts are created daily.
The path to winning
The basic gameplay is not very complicated. You start with a small village that needs some help. The village will grow as you progress and more features are unlocked. To progress, you will have to upgrade your buildings and army.
Command and Conquer
Defeating other players in PvP will allow you to collect valuable resources. These resources can be spent on building upgrades. Each victory will also net trophies, which are used to determine your league level.
Participating in Clan Wars is a great way of earning valuable rewards and interacts with other players at the same time.
At the start, you won’t have enough resources to upgrade everything. The main priority is to upgrade your buildings to gain access to better troops. Upgrading is a lengthy process so that you will need lots of patience on the road.
Resources:
- Gems are hard to get and expensive to buy. Keep them for a rainy day.
- Gold is used for building upgrades.
- Elixir can be spent on training and upgrading troops.
- Dark Elixir is used to train and upgrade special DE troops that will be unlocked later in the game.
Keep those gems
Gems are a valuable resource that can be used to skip build times, troop training times and boost certain units. Spending those gems may seem tempting, but you save them to buy permanent items which are more valuable than skipping a timer.
Be patient
Some upgrades will take over ten days to complete. Waiting may seem a bit boring at first, but the upgrade will unlock new features that will improve your overall gameplay experience. Unlocking the five builders will reduce the downtime, but you will have to pay for them with gems.
Pick an efficient base layout
The strategies will change with each better patch and what worked today may not work tomorrow. Look on the internet for dedicated forums and videos that will showcase the best base layouts.
Gathering resources
Gold and elixir can be gathered from collector buildings, raiding other players or playing the goblin maps. Joining an active war clan will net some extra resources.
Don’t rush the upgrades
Upgrading the Town Hall as fast as you can seem to be like a great idea at first but it’s not true. With each upgrade, you will get a lower amount of resources from raiding low-level bases. Complete all the upgrades that are available, and then you can upgrade the Town Hall to the next level.
