Only OGs remember when someone would attack one of your friends or clan members bases then after you checked your friends base or clan members base the buildings would actually be collapsed until they logged back online. I wish they would re-add that, that used to look so cool
Heroes used to take a long time to regenerate health, so they gave you the option of whether or not you wanted them to defend your village. Now the regeneration timer is so short their really isn’t any point in having a guard button
6:30 Toggling heros to sleep actually was useful back then because heroes took a long time to recover if the attacker knocked them out while guarding, basically disabling from attacking for more than an hour. Nowadays, your heroes does not get penalty for getting knocked out in a defense which is nice
Man I still remember Th9 being the highest town hall level, I remember they hype for Th11 and the Grand Warden, it feels unreal that it happened so long ago in 2015. Time flies…
@@F0UR3V3RI joined coc April 18 2014 I think. Witches just came out or were at level 2 max. Being a Th8 with gold walls or something was like being a th13 at the time. I watched my school friend building bases putting rows of walls at one time with the swipe of a finger while I’m placing wall pieces 1 by 1 amazed as if he was hacking or somethin lol
I thought I'd go the whole series without not realizing a change, but I had no clue teslas didn't still do more damage to pekkas. Is it the same in clash royale now too?
Good old days when you progressively upgrade Heroes you're gonna notice that they get a small designs like Barbarian king getting more and more golder..
You totally forgot about the lack of water fall, and also when it used to have your first troop automatically selected so when you looked around a base you’d accidentally drop an archer and be forced to attack it 😂
Why is this making me feel so old, I stopped playing clash years ago but still almost have seen everything in all of these videos, I feel so old. But the nostalgic things is almost making me almost wanting to come back.
I didn't even notice heros couldn't be put to sleep anymore. The reason it was needed back then was that when your heros died on defence, they would need to recharge similarly to after being killed on offense. The only thing was recharge time on maxed out level 40 heros was 1 hour 41 minutes if I remember correctly, so if you were training an army or something and needed to go offline for a bit, you had to remember to put your heros to sleep or else you'd risk needing to wait almost 2 hours to do your next attack.
The 2013 Winter music is so wholesome. I started Clash in Jan 2013 at which point that very music was the first track I heard, and it's stuck with me all this time! Also that's so cool that you used my channel The Soundtrack Shack for it! :D
remember barracks having limits of training troops and when barracks were in upgrades we had to wait for few to be trained first and than add the remaining troops to be trained.
This video blows my mind so much because I started to play in 2013 right before I knew I was going to be a dad. I had a clan that we were like a "family" clan war came, we became close and played every day. I stopped playing when he was born. He is 8 now and we are playing together and we have our clan. Oh and btw is way more fun now. Thanks for the video. Lot of memories!
I am pretty sure that when you were getting a 3-star, the wizard and the archer in the battle end screen would not be shadows, but would instead show up in their colors
I miss old winter theme, because this was the only time winter would ever feel festive to me. The current theme is cool but the old one hits different. I also miss hero sleep because the button was a lot of fun to mess with. I remember wasting hours just spamming my king, because his whistling sleeping sound was amazing. The auto battle start was a nightmare tho. My parents would start talking to me about something completly different when I was looking for a base and I wouldn't notice until I suddenly had to attack. My poor mom would sometimes even apologise for it, when she noticed🤣. That was wholesome from her, but I'd always tell her that it is no problem. After all my parents are more important than a game. However, tbh that 3,2,1 countdown haunts me till today.
did u noticed back then that when u attacked, a troop was automatically selected and if u miss clicked and dropped a troop you had to attack it? is it just me or did everyone experienced that?
I definitely remember winter them and when the vocals come in it's sounds so catchy and calming and I do remember that I was opening the game just to hear the sound and not to attack, man good old days ☺️
1. There was a time where national flag was part of decoration, some time I used to spare a person with a national flag of my country. 2. before introduction of dark spells, normal spells taking housing space of 1, and total spells carrying capacity was half than today. 3. when you have to move whole base one by one if it is not designed centrally. 4. Some time amount required to rearm your traps exceeds the amount you lost in entire attack. 5. when it was not possible to just swap the positions of defiance buildings. to swap archer tower with air defiance, first make empty space for archer tower , shift the tower to empty space, move air defiance to the right position, put archer tower to the space where the air defiance was, refill the empty space created initially. 6. that " UNABLE TO FIND VILLEGES TO ATTACK" sign after literally 30 minutes of clouding. 7. Dr.Mujtaba supremacy, he was everywhere...
Yes good old days. I remember back then when troops are very long to train. I think 1 Golem is trained for 30 mins back then. Also remember when you are clicking next but drops troops when you click on the map. Good old days
i just started out clash of clans again after like a 7 year break, and it blows my mind how much easier the game got. I still fear teslas with my pekkas, i still stress my shit when the timer goes to 3,2,1 and i honestly completely overlooked the fact that indeed some buildings are smaller now. crazy times we live in. Quality of life changes tho
11:00 I did not know that you could leave after the timer without losing Before now I would think I had to attack if the timer started When did they make this change cause nobody told me
Galadon posted a couple of southern teaser base videos very recently, they're fun to watch and a great example of what you mentioned when you talked about them in this video.
do you guys remember how you were used to collect the gravestones of fallen troops on other people's bases? at least when i checked a base on my friends list i could tap a gravestone but im not sure if i collected it. that was a really long time ago and it's not a thing anymore
The winter theme brings back so many memories. Just me being in school farming a base while my teacher was talking some bs in biology. Lol I hadn;t gotten to the part with the increased damage to certain troops and while watching the southern teaser base I thought hmm didnt the teslas use to focus Pekkas exclusevly, checked my phone and no the dont. Then u mention it a couple minutes later lol
I hadn't even noticed the damage multiplier on tesla was gone. I kept checking to see no mention of it and every time I attacked I still thought my pekkas were taking x2 damage from them. I also didn't know that the attack timer running out wasn't a big deal anymore, I've luckily made good gains when I'ts run out and I thought I'd have to attack.
Hey havoc. Not sure if you’ve mentioned this in previous videos but do you remember when if you were searching for an attack and ur finger missed the next button and hit your screen your troops would spawn in completely by accident and 9/10 times would completely ruin your attacks. Yeh. Painful stuff thank god they fixed that
9:15 , Dark elixir is 3x more powerful than Pink elixir that's why the Dark elixir was given a cubical storage ( your reason isn't wrong or right either ). This info is written in Dark elixir storage.
I Dont think you have mentioned it before. that back In the day when you were looking at a enemy base to attack you ALWAYS had a unit selected and the "next" button was small so you often accidentaly dropped a unit or spell when you missed it, forcing you to attack that base or lose trophies. There were actually bases built on the left side of the map just so players would accidentaly deploy troops and surrender, giving you free trophies. Since it was either trying to win a base you were going to skip since it was too hard and possibly losing. Or surrender so you Dont have to Cook another army for an attack.
God it was awesome back then. Remember pushing to champions with a th7 and suffered for months LOL and there was this clan where all members had a mini base and would push trophies and another one where it was just bases with a gem box that could enter
I just got back into clash and I was so confused were my barracks went. I thought I was crazy . You just mentioned it and I now realize they got rid of them.
The Skeletons are most effectively used as a disposable distraction for medium to high-hitpoint units, such as the Prince, since they can stop charged up abilities and distract enemies. Against building-targeting troops, they provide a high amount of damage per second for 1 Elixir, and they can stall single-targeting troops for a relatively long time considering their Elixir cost. Although they will often not counter units by themselves, the support and time they provide to other units is valuable. However, they will quickly be defeated by ranged area damage units like the Wizard, so the player should try to defeat or distract these types of units beforehand. Generally, it is risky to use a spell on Skeletons, as their 1 Elixir cost means any spell will be a negative Elixir trade. Plus, even a level 1 Princess Tower can fully take them down without taking any damage. However, if the opponent is relying on Skeletons in order to defend, a quick spell can allow for major damage to the opposing Crown Tower. If the player knows that the opponent will use Skeletons against a remaining Prince, they can use a Zap spell as soon as they see the Skeletons, potentially allowing the Prince to deal damage it would not have done otherwise, making up for the Elixir deficit. The Skeletons can be used to counter a lone Princess. If played just after the Princess fires, the Skeletons will eliminate her quickly. Be careful, as if they are deployed with bad timing, the Princess will easily eliminate the Skeletons with one hit. The Princess player may also quickly react with a spell on the Skeletons, allowing her to continue firing at the tower, so be prepared to follow up if necessary. With the help of a Crown Tower, Skeletons can counter medium-health troops like the Musketeer and Mini P.E.K.K.A.. Against single-targeting ranged troops, one should place the Skeletons on top of the troop to negate the range advantage, Against melee troops, the Skeletons should be placed in the center so that the troop has to walk farther, giving the Princess Tower more time to chip it down and the Skeletons time to deploy. Their 1 Elixir cost makes them an effective distraction against a Sparky, leaving the player with more Elixir to deploy other units to destroy her. Skeletons can also be deployed directly on top of her to surround her, which will counter her for a 5 Elixir advantage with the help of a Crown Tower. However, an adept Sparky player may preemptively Zap on top of their own Sparky as it crosses the bridge. Players relying on Skeletons to surround and counter her in this situation this will suffer major damage to their Princess Tower, so the player should switch up their tactics. If the opponent places an Inferno Tower to counter a tank, Skeletons can stall the Inferno Tower for a short time, giving the defender time to place another card to counter it or reset its damage ramp-up. Since it costs only 1 Elixir, it can shuffle the player's deck quickly and add a significant damage boost to an attack. Better yet, since they are also easily defeated by many cards and Crown Towers, not many players are willing to play cards to only take out Skeletons, given that their 1 Elixir cost will almost always result in a negative Elixir trade for the player countering them. They are very good to be split behind the King Tower while shuffling the player's deck, as it can discourage the opponent from immediately attacking either lane, due to the Skeletons' slight defensive presence. Skeletons can provide a cheap, but threatening boost to a small attack due to their Fast move speed and high combined damage. For example, a Miner accompanied by Skeletons will be much more threatening as the opposing player will take much more damage if they ignore it, as opposed to ignoring a lone Miner. Skeletons can be used along with certain other cards like Knight or Mini P.E.K.K.A. to easily counter high damage single-targeting troops like Elite Barbarians and Prince. Use the Skeletons to pull them into the center while absorbing some of the damage then place down Knight or Mini P.E.K.K.A. to finish them off. This can then assist in a counterattack. If the player thinks their opponent will try and send a Goblin Barrel far behind their Princess Tower, they can try and activate their King's Tower. The Skeletons should be split behind the player's King's Tower a few tiles before the barrel's shadow crosses the river. One Skeleton should go in the lane of the barrel while the two go in the other lane. If the opponent does send the barrel to the back of the player's Princess Tower, the Goblins will defeat the Skeletons and one Goblin will head towards the King's Tower afterwards instead of towards the Princess Tower. Even if the opponent does not send the barrel behind the tower, the player will have sufficient Elixir to counter the regular placement. Against an offensive Mortar on the center of the bridge, meet the Mortar vertically and play the Skeletons on the first tile in front of the King's Tower slightly before the Mortar's deploy timer is three fourths of the way finished. The Mortar will fire its shell at the Skeletons just as they are deployed, and the area damage effect will clip the King's Tower, activating it. Skeletons can fully counter a Bandit. Before the Bandit is about to dash, place the Skeletons on the third tile vertically from the King's Tower and the third tile horizontally from the Princess Tower. The front Skeleton should appear to be slightly more forward than the Princess Tower. If executed correctly, the Bandit will be in range of both Princess Towers after her dash, resulted in her being whittled down quickly and getting no hits on the player's tower. Skeletons have very high DPS/Cost ratio. A strategy is to place an Ice Golem to distract a troop, and Skeletons in the opposite of said Ice Golem to severely cripple them, if not, destroy them. Skeletons can be used as a cheap way to kite air troops placed at the center of the arena. Split the Skeletons so that one goes into the lane the air troops is staggered towards, and two go into the other lane. The single Skeleton will tank an attack and buy time for the two Skeletons in the other lane to distance themselves from the air unit, allowing them to live longer. However, this will not work against the Flying Machine, as its sight range is equal to its attack range, meaning that if an enemy walks out of its attack range, it won't try to follow them. To counteract this, players should place Skeletons in front of the Flying Machine to distract it. Placing Skeletons and then placing down a single grounded unit on the same tile right afterwards will cause them to spread further apart from each other while deploying, allowing them to be targeted individually by certain area damage attackers like the Baby Dragon, making them more effective at stalling these units. This tactic is most effective if the grounded unit is a ranged attacker, as it will not continue to collide with the Skeletons upon deployment and will not be susceptible to area damage damage until after all of them are defeated. This tactic is ineffective against cards with a large enough area damage radius, such as the Mega Knight and his jump attack
I was absolutely sure that the last thing is the same as before. Every time when I attack, I’m scared that the timer reaches zero, so that I’m forced to attack
For that "ringus" bases thing... later on a creator on the old CoC forums named Pingfao made ring bases so iconic everyone had his base designs in 2014. They disappeared after the big Troop AI overhaul in I think 2015 doe....
Something I rarely see mentioned is you had to re buy traps. Everyone remembers rearming them but I remember a time they were one use and once activated you had to re buy them from the store. For this reason I just straight up never used traps
I don't know if you already mentioned it, but, I remember the time where, if you tapped in the grass with no selected troop, the game will select the first troop in your bar, and place it down, now, if you tap in the grass with no troops selected, nothing happens
I still remember the 2013 winter song. I thought it still played to this day. I didn't know bc I eventually turned off the music around 2014 so I can hear certain sound cues during my attacks. I did turn music on when new installments come so I can hear their unique music, but I later turn music off.
I still use the Southern Teaser base as a TH13. Still works wonders most of the time. I tried several other modern styles but none could come close to it in defending effectively.
Yeetus deletes, there goes any troops in my clan castle..... cause you can't make them sleep. Oh and your online now and none of your teammates are. Hope you get troops!
Remember when the people put the town hall in the corner with defense and the rest of the building and walls in the front because you had to attack the front and not the rear
Ah yes, I remember when the time Eagle artillery really hated Golem and Tesla really hated pekka, and at that time eagle artillery would instantly activate when you put golem down (as far as I remember)
I don't think this was discussed but I remember as og back in 2014 or so. I remember at one point during Christmas you can make a christmas theme spell, which was literally santa. I remember keeping it on for a few weeks before I threw it. Not sure if they still do it. Also, the archer death sound is different.
I NEVER realised that you could leave a battle without losing trophies.

I'll never forget that first time I saw Hog Rider singing Clan Wars. It's one of the only ads I never skipped.

With the help of a Crown Tower, Skeletons can counter medium-health troops like the Musketeer and Mini P.E.K.K.A.. Against single-targeting ranged troops, one should place the Skeletons on top of the troop to negate the range advantage, Against melee troops, the Skeletons should be placed in the center so that the troop has to walk farther, giving the Princess Tower more time to chip it down and the Skeletons time to deploy.
Their 1 Elixir cost makes them an effective distraction against a Sparky, leaving the player with more Elixir to deploy other units to destroy her. Skeletons can also be deployed directly on top of her to surround her, which will counter her for a 5 Elixir advantage with the help of a Crown Tower. However, an adept Sparky player may preemptively Zap on top of their own Sparky as it crosses the bridge. Players relying on Skeletons to surround and counter her in this situation this will suffer major damage to their Princess Tower, so the player should switch up their tactics.
If the opponent places an Inferno Tower to counter a tank, Skeletons can stall the Inferno Tower for a short time, giving the defender time to place another card to counter it or reset its damage ramp-up.
Since it costs only 1 Elixir, it can shuffle the player's deck quickly and add a significant damage boost to an attack. Better yet, since they are also easily defeated by many cards and Crown Towers, not many players are willing to play cards to only take out Skeletons, given that their 1 Elixir cost will almost always result in a negative Elixir trade for the player countering them. They are very good to be split behind the King Tower while shuffling the player's deck, as it can discourage the opponent from immediately attacking either lane, due to the Skeletons' slight defensive presence.
Skeletons can provide a cheap, but threatening boost to a small attack due to their Fast move speed and high combined damage. For example, a Miner accompanied by Skeletons will be much more threatening as the opposing player will take much more damage if they ignore it, as opposed to ignoring a lone Miner.
Skeletons can be used along with certain other cards like Knight or Mini P.E.K.K.A. to easily counter high damage single-targeting troops like Elite Barbarians and Prince. Use the Skeletons to pull them into the center while absorbing some of the damage then place down Knight or Mini P.E.K.K.A. to finish them off. This can then assist in a counterattack.
If the player thinks their opponent will try and send a Goblin Barrel far behind their Princess Tower, they can try and activate their King's Tower. The Skeletons should be split behind the player's King's Tower a few tiles before the barrel's shadow crosses the river. One Skeleton should go in the lane of the barrel while the two go in the other lane. If the opponent does send the barrel to the back of the player's Princess Tower, the Goblins will defeat the Skeletons and one Goblin will head towards the King's Tower afterwards instead of towards the Princess Tower. Even if the opponent does not send the barrel behind the tower, the player will have sufficient Elixir to counter the regular placement.
Against an offensive Mortar on the center of the bridge, meet the Mortar vertically and play the Skeletons on the first tile in front of the King's Tower slightly before the Mortar's deploy timer is three fourths of the way finished. The Mortar will fire its shell at the Skeletons just as they are deployed, and the area damage effect will clip the King's Tower, activating it.
Skeletons can fully counter a Bandit. Before the Bandit is about to dash, place the Skeletons on the third tile vertically from the King's Tower and the third tile horizontally from the Princess Tower. The front Skeleton should appear to be slightly more forward than the Princess Tower. If executed correctly, the Bandit will be in range of both Princess Towers after her dash, resulted in her being whittled down quickly and getting no hits on the player's tower.
Skeletons have very high DPS/Cost ratio. A strategy is to place an Ice Golem to distract a troop, and Skeletons in the opposite of said Ice Golem to severely cripple them, if not, destroy them.
Skeletons can be used as a cheap way to kite air troops placed at the center of the arena. Split the Skeletons so that one goes into the lane the air troops is staggered towards, and two go into the other lane. The single Skeleton will tank an attack and buy time for the two Skeletons in the other lane to distance themselves from the air unit, allowing them to live longer. However, this will not work against the Flying Machine, as its sight range is equal to its attack range, meaning that if an enemy walks out of its attack range, it won't try to follow them. To counteract this, players should place Skeletons in front of the Flying Machine to distract it.
Placing Skeletons and then placing down a single grounded unit on the same tile right afterwards will cause them to spread further apart from each other while deploying, allowing them to be targeted individually by certain area damage attackers like the Baby Dragon, making them more effective at stalling these units.
This tactic is most effective if the grounded unit is a ranged attacker, as it will not continue to collide with the Skeletons upon deployment and will not be susceptible to area damage damage until after all of them are defeated.
This tactic is ineffective against cards with a large enough area damage radius, such as the Mega Knight and his jump attack
Now I want that OG winter theme music back
Your videos never get old 🙂
Really love it all
Aside from the winter theme the elixir collecting sound was changed too every time I hear the old sound it just takes me back to the good ol days
best series by far! was so hype to see this in my recommended
Clash of Clans back then was really nostalgic.
11:00 how am i just discovering this after playing for 8 years
I was absolutely sure that the last thing is the same as before. Every time when I attack, I’m scared that the timer reaches zero, so that I’m forced to attack
I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY FOR THINKING THE LAB AND ARMY CAMP WAS OFF 😭
Bro the old winter theme hits hard 🥶
I'm at level 227 now, and looking back I feel like the grind to TH 10 was the worst.😂
As a player from 2014-2015. I can remember at most the th11 update, troop remodel, and * as troop levels
The old level 11-14 archer towers looked so amazing.
Barracks are now only two, you were right by saying “when we used to have four barracks”😁 4:08
For that "ringus" bases thing... later on a creator on the old CoC forums named Pingfao made ring bases so iconic everyone had his base designs in 2014. They disappeared after the big Troop AI overhaul in I think 2015 doe....
Am i the only one who notice many old thing are removed only by this video.. like army camp size and dark elixir in shop i still thought as old...🙂
1:38 man i didnt think i played the game all the way back then but that music gives me flashbacks
Something I rarely see mentioned is you had to re buy traps. Everyone remembers rearming them but I remember a time they were one use and once activated you had to re buy them from the store. For this reason I just straight up never used traps
I don't know if you already mentioned it, but, I remember the time where, if you tapped in the grass with no selected troop, the game will select the first troop in your bar, and place it down, now, if you tap in the grass with no troops selected, nothing happens
I legit didn't realise the last one until this video
Feels Good to be an OG
Love it I've played it since it started lost some accounts but still been playing the entire time
Good video as always!
I still remember the 2013 winter song. I thought it still played to this day. I didn't know bc I eventually turned off the music around 2014 so I can hear certain sound cues during my attacks. I did turn music on when new installments come so I can hear their unique music, but I later turn music off.
Love the video bro thanks ❤
I still use the Southern Teaser base as a TH13. Still works wonders most of the time. I tried several other modern styles but none could come close to it in defending effectively.
Yeetus deletes, there goes any troops in my clan castle..... cause you can't make them sleep. Oh and your online now and none of your teammates are. Hope you get troops!
I have played clash of clans on mute for straight 7 years....i didnt even know the music was changed
Remember when the people put the town hall in the corner with defense and the rest of the building and walls in the front because you had to attack the front and not the rear
When wall breakers only destroyed one wall at a time so doubling up was common
Ah yes, I remember when the time Eagle artillery really hated Golem and Tesla really hated pekka, and at that time eagle artillery would instantly activate when you put golem down (as far as I remember)
Oh my god hearing that old winter theme actually took me back to the old days. woah!
1:39
Is it me or this the current music??
it is so weird looking back to all the different changes the game had. just the good old days
Yea, I especially miss the old winter theme it was my favorite one
Damn... The winter music...so many memories
don't forget to refil your inferno towers with Dark elixir and x bows with elixir after you get attacked
I didn’t even know the last fact before 😨😲, I wish I had 😅
1:48 That's what i call nostalgia
I don't think this was discussed but I remember as og back in 2014 or so. I remember at one point during Christmas you can make a christmas theme spell, which was literally santa. I remember keeping it on for a few weeks before I threw it. Not sure if they still do it. Also, the archer death sound is different.
As an OG I can confirm that I remember these
i started playing clash in 2015 when i was 9. i’m 17 now time flies man
Seeing those big ringgus bases bring back so many fond memories.
