Oso planning to go pro
Any Clash of Clan players here?
My kids play, does that count?
My pupils play CoC and it looks interesting.What makes it enjoyable as an adult gamer?
My kids play too but I play a lot more than they do. I just started my own clan so that I can watch who they chat with and to make sure the language is under control. The leader of my previous clan started dropping f bombs so it was time to leave. I'd like to get the clan up to 10 people so I can start a clan war. The clan name is the same as my screen name, MARQTTE.
Is the game worth downloading? I actually just got done playing a round of Civ II.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Disadvantages: Need an internet connection to the play the game.
My kids play Minecraft and I have to usually have to pull the plug on them. And that's usually followed by a "Well Grammy said, you and your brother used to play Atari all the time."
The draw to play Minecraft in my house is intense, and mom is constantly nagging the kids to stop.BTW, do you or your kids know about StampyLongnose on Youtube? He puts out a 25 minute Minecraft video every day. After 3 days, it'll have 1m views. How much does he get? Around $9,000 for each video. Can you imagine that? Each day, you wake up and decide .. should I screw around (??) and do nothing all day .. or play a video game for a half hour and make 9 grand.Guy is my freaking hero. 23 years old.
Never played Minecraft... never really got it... kind of seems like legos on the computer, and then monsters try to attack your lego house. Sure I've seen some really amazing 'art' and people recreating movies and cities on it, but that is way too much work for me.
I've been playing CoC for a couple months .. for anyone here starting up, a few things I wish I'd known:1. Don't so much worry about being attacked. It's going to happen. You're going to lose. About the best thing you can hope for is to (eventually) make your castle look too scary to attack, then people will pass it up. Eventually, someone will crush you. But that's ok, you only lose gold and elixir and just a fraction of what you really have. (You don't lose any of the things you've built.) -- For the same reason, don't worry about losing your shield. If you've sat down to play, play.2. Upgrade your town hall until level 6. Once that happens, things get tougher, in that, all the raids you go on, you'll be penalized for having a higher town hall than your victim, so you get tiny amounts of gold/elixir if you win. I didn't know that, and when I upgraded to TH7, suddenly most raids either weren't worth the effort, or were way too hard to be competitive. Sit at level 6 until most everything is upgraded. True, level 7 gives you another camp, which means you have 40 more guys to throw into raids and that helps.. but the raids are worth so much less.3. Naturally, your raids have a cost. Example ..10 giants cost you 15,000 elixir. No point in attacking someone with less than 15,000, as you have little to gain. 4. Gems .. if you don't mind spending real $$, do what you wish. If you do, never spend gems on "speeding things up". Admittedly, I invested $10 in gems and bought two builders. That helps you get things started quickly .. after a few months, though, I'll often have a builder or two not working because you won't have enough elixir to get them working, so they sit unused. Any other tips from players?
5. Place your clan castles and heroes nearest to the center as possible. You don't want your castle troops or heroes to be triggered until the attacking troops are engaged with buildings/defenses. Especially important during clan wars.
