Clash of Clans Best Tips – Here’s How to Create Your Own Troops

Clash of Clans is one of the world’s most popular multiplayer mobile games. The game is set in a fantasy world where players need to build cities and then do their best to defend them. Not just that, but players can also create elaborate strategies which will help them take over enemy cities and steal their resources. Nonetheless, the best thing about Clash of Clans is the fact that it encourages people to team up in clans and send out coordinate attacks or defenses.

What many people don’t know about Clash of Clans is that its gameplay can be improved through customizations. One of the best ways to do this is to add new troops that can be created through the special COC Troop creator and editor. With that said, today we are going to present Clash of Clans fans with a couple of guidelines they need to follow when creating new troops.

Creating New Troops

The first thing that fans need to do is to head over to the Clash of Clans (COC) Troop Creator website. The next step is to add a description of the troop, but not before choosing the language this troop marker needs to be in.

Players will be able to type in whatever name they want such as “Terrifying Dragon” or “Savage Beast” and then set a level for the troop. We advise fans to choose level one because it will make the troop easier to play. Moving on, the description box is quite large, and this gives fans enough room to accurately describe the troop that they want to introduce in the game.

Artwork and Properties

After choosing a name, level and description for the troop, Clash of Clans fans need to introduce some artwork in the imagine box which will represent the troop. Moreover, fans can head over to the properties section and select whatever values they want.

Apple Watch 4 and Samsung Gear S4 – Best Improved Features

Apple and Samsung are preparing to launch their new smartwatches and they’ll come with several improved features

Samsung and Apple have always tried to revolutionise the tech market by offering their customers amazing devices with practical features. Nowadays, both companies are preparing to launch their latest smartwatches, Apple Watch 4 and Samsung Gear S4.

According to experts from the field, these next generation gadgets will be released before the end of this year. Until then, it could be a good idea to learn more about each of them, so let’s analyse what we know so far.

The new devices might come with better battery life and improved health tracking

When they first appeared, smartwatches didn’t have much success, but as time passed, Apple and Samsung managed to set high standards for these wearables. It looks like their new ”toys” will be important updates of the predecessors Apple Watch Series 3 and Samsung Gear S3. Furthermore, the Gear S4 will be thinner than the S3, but will have the same design with round face.

What’s new within the Apple Watch

The first details about the new smartwatch from Apple arrived this year from the producing company. They revealed the fact that the device will work on their watchOS 5 upgrade and this means that active people will count among the first customers. They will be able to use features like Walkie-Talkie, Workout Detection or Activity Competitions.

In terms of technical specs, the watch will have bigger display, thinner design and longer battery life. Apple is expected to focus on developing even more health apps, since their smartwatch is considered one of the best heart monitors in the world. The device could come this autumn.

We could see the Samsung Gear S4 for the first time in August this year

Although Samsung had enough success with the Gear S3, it has been almost two years and the watch didn’t receive any update. Also, SamMobile claims that a wireless charger for the Gear S4 has just been certified, so this could mean that an updated smartwatch from Samsung is on its way.

If it comes, the device could be available in two versions, Classic and Frontier, but the most striking difference is that Samsung will give up on the Tizen operating system for a Google software. In addition, they will introduce improved health and sleep tracking capabilities and other features to keep the user healthy and in good physical shape (for example, the capacity to measure blood pressure).

All these features will be available in various colour schemes, including Gold and will be supported by a larger battery. Its capacity could be increased to 470mAh and this means that one charge will last longer than before.

The Surface Pro 6 from Microsoft Might be Redesigned Until its Launch in 2019

These days, tech fans were thrilled to find out some news about the new laptop which Microsoft is preparing to launch in the next future. It looks like the device will be called Surface Pro 6, but the information is not 100% sure. According to some reports, the company is planning to redesign the laptop as it’s working hard on preparing the launch.

Experts claim that Microsoft won’t release it until the half of 2019, but possible users should expect to see a totally different design than what they’ve heard about so far. No details about the laptop’s technical specifications are clear so far, but we know that Microsoft is preparing a whole new look for Intel’s latest version of 8th generation processors. To avoid any leaks, it looks like Surface Pro 6 received the codename Carmel.

What should we expect to see within the Surface laptop

Tech experts speculate that the new laptop might come with the latest processors from Intel, but we don’t know if it will have an USB-C port added on any of both versions, Surface Pro or Surface Laptop. This would be a logical addition, since the company recently introduced another device with USB-C port, the Surface Book 2.

It looks like Microsoft is planning to keep the Surface Connector until other generations, because now it focuses on a brand new Surface-Branded headset. In terms of specifications, the mystery around the headset might be revealed; we know that it is similar to a Jabra Evolve.

The latest rumours connected to the Surface come from a Bloomberg report released last month. They launched the idea that Microsoft is working on a top-notch tablet for competing with Chromebooks and iPads for the educational department. The new tablet will feature a 10-inch display, charging by USB-C and will be lighter than the Surface Pro devices.

Soon after a footage demonstrating a jailbreak of iOS 11.4 appeared online, another video shook the virtual environment. Although the subject is similar, this time, next to the beta version of iOS 11.4, viewers witnessed a successful jailbreak of the beta version of iOS 12.

Just like when the previous initiative appeared, some people were curious to see the video, but now, since they had seen an iOS 11.4 jailbreak before, the demonstration wasn’t such a big surprise. After this, people are still wondering what will follow, but nobody can anticipate the tendency and how will Apple react to this.

The video was posted by the security researcher Qixun Zhao. The expert is also known as SorryMyBad in the online environment and he made the footage public on a social network. The whole idea behind his initiative is to perform a safari based jailbreak of the beta versions of iOS 12 and iOS 11.4. What made it even more interesting is the fact that it was performed remotely.

After he posted the video on Youku, Zhao used Twitter to announce it. So far, we don’t know if he intends to make the jailbreak public, but if he does, the event won’t happen before the official release of the final version of iOS 12. Then, the operating system becomes available and the public would know what to expect.

What will follow

At present, people are waiting for an Electra jailbreak of iOS 11.3.1. The author, CoolStar, announced that it’s on its way and it will arrive soon. In addition, Jonathan Levin announced his plans to update former versions of LiberiOS and LiberTV. His intention was also promoted on social media.
