For today's post, I wanted to discuss one of the important aspects of CoC, Farming.
The game gets pretty expensive resource wise as you progress. With upgrading of walls, troops, and buildings, you can burn through your gold and elixir quickly. To offset this problem, the solution is farming.
I learned that the game is like investing. A good farming army usually runs depending on level of your troops from 16k and up. For me currently, I'm at TH 6, my farming army of giants, goblins, wall breakers, and archers run about 20k in elixir. Add on another 16k if i decide to use a spell. Now with this initial investment in elixir, I only attack bases that give me at least 100k combined in gold and elixir resources.
The mistake many players make is that they attack any base without regards to investment and reward. If my army costs me 25k in elixir, why would I attack a base that only pays out 20k combined in gold and elixir. When you look at the game from this perspective of investing, you will quickly become a better player with a better base because you have more resources now collected.
For a video of where I learned all this, click here. Patrick the maker of the video teaches everyone great strategies for farming. Until the next post, have fun playing the game everyone.
Tony, good stuff, but I wish this could be more clan specific, because wouldn't it also give the opposing clans the tips to farm us? lol! Just a thought. I guess it doesn't matter too much though because with the tons of youtube videos out there, they all sharing tips on farming, base building and other tactics. I guess you can also start a new topic on how to attack (raid) to win 3 stars. stuff like that would be good because I know that advice is needed more than farming since the farming is relatively easy now :)
