The “hiding elixir” trick also served another purpose. I remember training a barrack full of a troop that was about to be upgraded and the finishing the upgrade and refunding the troops back for the new higher price

[@theprof4046]

One that always seems to be forgotten about - back around the time when TH10 was the highest, you could drop below 100 trophies, at the level you suddenly found LOADS of TH9/10 bases with insane loot. It was like a little fight club for looting! But the second you went offline you'd end up getting 100's of trophies in defences and have to work your way down again

[@thequantaleaper]

It was wild, abandoned bases galore. Back when a few hundred thousand of gold and elixer was a HUGE take lol.

[@187prashantkumar2]

Ah love those times

[@supremeking6694]

An exploit that could be added in a Part 2 (if it will ever happen) would be fooling the old AI of Wall Breakers. Today, Wall Breakers prioritize rows of walls before individuals walls. However, back in the day, the Wall Breaker would prioritize any wall, so it didn't matter if the closest wall was a lone one, or a row. The strategy behind this exploit is that players would make bases where lone walls would be placed 3/4 tiles (I think) forward the wall that protects the base. In doing so, the Wall Breakers would never go for the rows of walls, essentially making them useless. Supercell's fix was an AI change, where Wall Breakers first target for rows of walls, but their troop count was increased from 1 to 2.

[@HavocGaming]

I remember mentioning that a few times in videos, I forgot about that one for this video haha.

[@byeguyssry]

Oh yeah I remember doing this, then I came back to my base a year ago and was like, wait why are there random walls here?

[@arneshpal7702]

Nah wall breakers prioritize buildings lmao

[@md.sifatsarkar2775]

I noticed current wallbreakers dont target specifically wall they target wall which have buildings behind them ,also they have a detection range if the buildings are out of detection range then they will simply bust the nearest wall.

[@supremeking6694]

@@md.sifatsarkar2775 Technically, the Super Troop version of Wall Breaker do that. The original would target the nearest row of wall, even if there are no buildings near it.

[@HavocGaming]

As others have mentioned, loot from the treasury CAN be stolen, but I probably forgot because it’s such an insignificant amount, 4% of what it can hold. Anyways this doesn’t effect the “hiding resources” strategy, I was only showing features that have helped to keep more of your loot safe now a days.

[@leoe.5046]

Operation Blue Skies was a blessing and a curse... But they had no choice as people found ways to minimize their offline-time without shield. Especially for low th pushers - I remember a buddy who went full beast mode with that. Even the whole personal break system that was supposed to prevent stuff like this didn't work

Note on the storage shield 1: the storages are immune to all damage spells except skeleton and bat. 2: the Town Hall and Clan Castle were also given a spell shield to prevent easy star or even avoid CC troops 3: all collectors did not get a spell storage. You can still lose loot that the collectors picked up for you

A side note about the engineered base are the .5 bases that is set to trick matchmaking to be considered as a lower level town hall while having upper town hall attack strength

[@ghost_ship_supreme]

I used to hide troops all the time :) And the lightning spells destroying resource storages basically broke the game until they nerfed it. I also used shielding in EVERY base design! It was great! Removing it made me very sad.

[@goofyaahman3497]

For the xp exploit, they kind of fixed it Now players have customised request, you cannot donate anything else. So if u are changing clans for xp by donating, u probably have to wait for training different troops

[@zamasuawaken1908]

As someone who played from when the game released this was a good flashback of happy memories trying whatever i can to make my progress smoother in the game.

[@daleoldfield7961]

Clan perks like auto upgrade upon donated troops even if they are a lower town hall also you used to be able to donate maximum level troops to all the bases in your clan a good example is in war you donate max troops to your lowest level town halls and the attacking army would fail or struggle to star

[@Night_Rose_94]

I always cooked up some troops right before an event ended. For example, Golem event. 90% off of golems. Put them in the oven at low cost, event ends, cancel training, get the full 100% resources. I did that every time. Got a lot of free loot that way.

[@hokaloah100]

The exploit i absolutely despised the most was “ghosting”. It allowed players in war to start an attack, put their phone into airplane mode, and do a practice attack against your base for a short time. The loss of connection allowed them to reset and attempt the attack again. It was infuriating to watch this happen over and over again, then get 3 starred because they knew exactly where all your traps were. I remember the sinking feeling in my stomach whenever we would get matched with an Asian clan, because we knew that they would probably use this strategy. Engineered bases were bad, but nothing made me want to quit clash more than watching attacks being started against our top bases, then stopped, over and over again, until finally that person 3 stars the base.

[@sinksinksink]

dude i remember back in the day when they didnt give you a drill at town hall 7... everyone was just throwing lightnings at the dark elixir storages.... man good old days

[@awsometitanic63]

there used to be an exploit which let u skip the entire battle after placing down all of your troops by just force closing and re opening your game (im not 100% sure if this was the method) but it let u skip the battle entirely and get the battle result

[@DarchrowTheEnigma]

Leaving Town Halls (TH) on the outside of your bases was legit one of the best strategy anyone could find out back then. Though it was changed, it is still used on some Clan Wars similar to how Engineered bases still exists to this day and are still used by some players. It doesnt work well in Clan War Leagues (CWL) but TH 10 players benefit a lot with this strategy in normal Clan Wars with the introduction of Siege Machines. But Queen Walk was truly a miracle find. Whoever figured it out first back then was truly a mastermind in terms of strategy. I'm not sure as to how one could think of a strategy like that if it werent for their brilliant thinking skills.

[@nevermind5657]

maybe they just looked one day that: oh queen stays relatively far from defending things while attacking said things? and she has high health? what if i would put healer to follow her to heal the damage that she gets when she gets bit too close? ok that went better than expected, what if i would put 2 healers? that went even better.
