I need to learn to read and not skim, I thought it was like soccer where we picked the best of the two teams side by side....pretty confident the team I picked won't win. Oh well at least I still get a prize for being wrong.
Watch out, if other clans camp then they will get triggered.
What do you know? When a clan decides to hide in the back and wait for us to dig them out of course we will get triggered. Straight up fights are much more enjoyable to play because it's down to calls/gameplay rather than which clan has more hitpoints and decides to stick them in camping positions. Camping is a strategy but it is not one that we want to see because it feels like a one sided fight.
I just want some clarification on the actual prizing. 1-3. Will the clan only get 5-10k gold total or will that be each player? How about the bond rewards and the industrial resource? This isn't made very clear. Just wondering what the actual idea is.
Erm, yes I passed on some feedback about the prizing because it's pretty confusing. The bonds and styles/camos are the individual prize, Gold and IR will be going to clan treasury.
