War League Results

We competed in the December 2018 war league and despite a spirited fight we came third so didn’t get promoted. However that is a couple of places higher than last season. What was noticeable was that the engineered clan were absent which is far better than the last two seasons. To be honest engineering will only get those clans so far, once they meet a war team full of TH12s they will get thrashed !

Clash Royale Update

The new update landed this week and the main feature seems to be to give new things to do for maxed (level 13) players. This is welcome news and the changes are all positive.

The first thing is the introduction of star levels. This allows new visuals for maxed troops. It appears that each troop or spell has either one or three star levels associated with it and star points are required for each level. Star points are earned by donating troops e.g. 10 points for rare. So far the levels don’t look unobtainable.

Here’s a view of my normal deck where you can see my star points outlined in red, and the star level indicator outlined in yellow.

The next change is about max troop stacks. After the update it isn’t possible to keep gaining cards above what it would take to get to max. Instead any cards gained are immediately turned to gold. This used to happen in earlier versions of the game but was removed so it’s good to have it back. However previously it only happened once you had maxed a card, but now, even better, gold is awarded if you can max a card but haven’t done so. The below image of my cards shows some of the ones I could max but haven’t outlined in yellow.

Finally not related to the update I’d like to bring your attention to statsroyale.com. It’s a really useful utility for seeing what chests are coming next as well as checking on your progress over time on the trophy ladder as shown below in the image of my profile.

News from the Beach

We have been going from strength to strength in our Task Force including a bit of an informal competition to push up the leader-board from our higher level players. All good fun if somewhat challenging because past 600 most opponents are level 65 (max).

I will quickly polish my new Brigadier badge 🙂

On the operations front we continue to gradually beat harder and harder ones, and recently taking out Powder Key this week.

So all positive news; we continue to grow in strength and success !

Web-site refresh

I felt it was time to freshen up the site a little and as you’ll notice we have a new clan banner which reflects all the games we play. I’ve also removed old content and that which is hard to keep up-to-date. From now on more non-CoC content will be added regularly, and of course there will still be CoC too !

Farming with max heroes

Super crazy loot in Titan 2. If you wonder how I never have any builders take a look at my attack log from this evening. Just six attacks, but with a +300k gold / +300k elixir bonus for each win it racks up very quickly ! Also four 3 stars and never less than 92% damage and these are all TH11/12. The game is really easy at the moment.

Perfect War

It’s been a long time since we achieved this but this weekend we had a perfect 10v10 war. Some great attacking by our team meant we had this one sown up well before the end. Great job everyone !

A Cloudy World

For those of you who have got to Titan League you will see the clouds a little more frequently, maybe 5-10 seconds for an offer. But it gets worse. At 5500 I’ve seen 1.5 hours for any offer in the morning local time. How bad does it get ? Galadon is over 6200… his worst is 36 hours ! Just think about that… you click attack and a base is offered two days later ! I don’t think it is possible to get much passed 5800 with a normal life.

New Banner

Hi everyone, I think it is time to produce a new banner to show we span many games. Let us reflect them all as equal partners. I will work on this over the next few days. My attack as a TH10 is looking a bit old…

Cryo-crab update

The huge monthly event is on and I am really enjoying it. I don’t think our players below level 50 get much out of it but it is awesome higher up. I am currently climbing the UK rankings. Look at the level (65 is max) of the players who are on the table with me 🙂
