Fabulous news from Supercell, the next update is going to focus on making the game a more full on experience; one in which you can attack much more often with whatever type of army you want. And it’s a simple change; a massive reduction in training time for troops and spells and hero regeneration time.

No longer will you need to wait 2-3 hours for a war army, and that also means that you can potentially practise war army attacks more frequently. For those of us with heroes over level 20 the change couldn’t have come soon enough. 1.5 hours to regenerate my heroes has been ridiculous and you need to gem boost to actually farm. Getting rid of this game tax can only be a good thing and will make the higher level game accessible to many more people; in particular those who aren’t yet old enough to have some disposable salary to occasionally buy gems. This was a huge concern of mine because our clan has a great bunch of attackers at senior school level and they would have really struggled to play full on through TH10 and TH11.

Reading between the lines I think there are going to be big war changes coming; being able to spin up war armies more quickly would allow for tournament play and shorter and more frequent wars. If I’m correct this is going to be great news for skilled war players.

For more details check out the post on the Supercell forums, and below is a vid from Galadon describing the change. Note that the change is described as the May update so it’s coming soon !

Personally this is brilliant news, within a few weeks I will have max AQ and BK so will finally start my serious push to Legends league, and this will enable me to train decent armies in sensible amounts of time. I can’t wait.
