* If you would like to be in war: opt-in. If we have an uneven number of participants the most inactive members will be opted-out (donations, trophies, league badge, etc.)
Participation
* Each member is expected to war at least 4 times in a season. If you have special circumstances that may prevent you from meeting this requirement, please communicate with the leadership team in advance (vacation, new job, other life event).
* New members are expected to participate as much as possible during their provisional period. The goal is to quickly establish whether or not we are good fit for each other for everyone's benefit.
* Missed attacks without prior communication will subject a player to discipline up to and including suspension from war or being kicked.
If you think you will be unable to use an attack, please message any member of the leadership team as soon as possible. The sooner the better. We understand this is a game, and real life sometimes gets in the way, but we ask you communicate at all times.
* Generally speaking, warring with hero down is not allowed and a green opt-in status means your heroes WILL BE available at war start. Veteran members MAY be allowed to war in with one hero down if they can show proof of ability to use non hero-dependent 3-star strategies effectively. However, if we get a tough matchup, you should be prepared to gem hero to completion.
Troop Requests
* War Requests should specify that they are "for war". These requests may only be filled with max level troops (your level +2 w/perks)
* If you want specific troops in your defensive war CC, set your request message accordingly. We would like to avoid partial fills for defensive war cc donations. If you cannot fill the defensive war cc request in its entirety, please coordinate with other players to get it filled all at once. Showing 5/30 or 20/30 to an enemy scout for a long period of time gives them more information for their fresh hit than we would like.
* Each war participant is required to fill the CC of the player beneath them (if you cannot fill that persons CC by yourself, it is your responsibility to find someone who will help). Troops must be max level after perks.
* Troop requests for resource raids should not request specific troop levels. We want everyone to be able to participate in general troop donations. The exception is if you are practicing a specific army composition that requires a certain troop level.
Scouting, Attacking, Planning and WarMatch.us
* WarMatch.us is a tool we use to ease communication during clan wars; it streamlines base selection and scouting notes, and you can read about how it works here. If you still have questions about how WarMatch works, feel free to ask an elder or leader in-game; we want everyone to use this tool effectively, so make sure you understand how it works.
* We control WarMatch through DISCORD. Reserve your enemy before attacking. A 3-hour or sometimes a progressively decreasing timer is used for calls. Once this timer expires, the base is eligible to be called again. After you complete your attack, Log the results through DISCORD. (*UPDATE* - We now participate in an AutoLog feature of Warmatch so attacks/defenses SHOULD BE logged for you when working correctly) Simple.
* Please create an account on WarMatch.us, search for your clan and claim your village. Let a leader/elder know when completed or if you are having any trouble with this step. (*Passwords are clan specific, so contact your clan leadership team for your clan's specific Warmatch Login Password*)
* We use DISCORD, and recommend SKITCH (or similar drawing tool), to plan war attacks. You can find a guide on how to draw up a plan here. During your 2 week Provisional period, please post a plan in DISCORD for every attack to receive advice and feedback from your fellow clanmates! The more eyes you have on your plan before going in, the better the chance of success. Sometimes just drawing the plan helps iron out some kinks or potential hiccups that you didn't see otherwise. If you absolutely can't draw it up, then at least talk it through with clan members to draw on valuable experience.
* You are required to use 3-star armies for both attacks. We never attack for loot and we never attack bases that are already 3-starred unless approved by a clan leader for practice.
Ask questions, don't be afraid to fail, and come prepared to learn.
