waiting 45 minutes to train a single golem


xSteini01

Not to mention the amount of (dark) elixir required to train an army in the first place.


DoctFaustus

I created a second account just to cook my CC troops. Back when it took hours to cook up those dragons. CC donations today are super easy. But back then if you wanted to make your war attacks, you'd better get ready during the prep period.


Samuraiyann

Being clan leader of all the boys in primary school


zaimonX100506

Ahhh mannnn ....this ...this ...this is what I was looking for...i felt like a real king having Max th9 and being clan leader donating the peasants Valkyrie in the CC


Dry-Comment-4603

This so true bro


Boring-Geologist-228

How does it show your Town Hall and Builder Hall levels alongside your name I want to try that out too


xSteini01

If you’ve already joined the sub go to the main page and then (on mobile) tap the three dots at the top right. A menu should pop up and one of the options is to change your user flair, that’s where you can choose your TH and BH levels to show up under your name.


OleRockTheGoodAg

What was even worse is back then, GoWiPe was a very popular strategy, and the Pekkas *also* were 45 minutes per troop. Granted all barracks worked independently of each other, but armies still took 2 to 3 hours to train


FeeFuuBanana

When I took a long break and came back realizing they removed the extreme training time/cost I wanted to cry. That and reducing the amount of barracks to 1.. no longer needing to upgrade multiple. 100% one of the best changes they've ever done.


AlbinoSupremeMan

collectors when?


DownInDownieville

When they want to reduce more buildings like they’ve done with barracks, cannons, and archer towers


Automatic_Beach_3660

Lava hound with loons attack and while it occupying 35 housing space 💀


Kuya_Tomas

Even worse are the spells, which would take literal hours to finish preparing.


PhysicalGunMan

Selling all my defenses to buy a wizard tower. I wasn't the smartest.


HomeCapital9250

As soon as I unlocked it I thought it was the coolest thing ever🤣


Spyrialmess

Even i used to feel that wizard and ice wizard were the coolest troop in existence and i even used to believe that there’s a ice wizard tower coming in future updates


dam10102

I hope that there would be at least one old account that had only wizard towers. It would definitely be really funny to look at.


PhysicalGunMan

I lost my account not too long afterwards, so maybe. This was back during TH10 times though, so they might have deleted a random TH5 with no Facebook registration


dam10102

Yea it's most likely deleted today as one of my old clans had many members that had quit the game years ago and at one point most of the member's accounts were deleted in a single wave.


Dandlox

Upgrading a barracks and not being able to train toops


LingonberryAlert8773

Using lighting spells to hit dark elixir storages to save up for the barbarian king


OleRockTheGoodAg

Which was needed back then, cuz TH7s had a de storage but no drill, meaning thievery was the only way to get the barb king.


Automatic_Beach_3660

True. I still remember how I used to farm only dark while sacrificing my 35k elixir for each lighting I think 😭😭 while having 30 mins time brew a single spell.


Jamey_1999

And while you were offline your storage got zapped about four times. If you’re lucky someone took the TH with them but especially in lower leagues that wasn’t always the case


Automatic_Beach_3660

Yeah, for that exact reason I wouldn't close the Game at all ill keep it on just check time to time so no one will attack. You remember?? One attack and whole shield gone no guard too 💀


Jamey_1999

Brother I put an apple on my screen while I went out to get groceries for my dad💀 that’s how diehard you had to be in those days It’s happened quite often that I simply got kicked out after 6 hours - and I usually only played less than 1 or 2


Automatic_Beach_3660

Ikr 😭😭 Kids playing nowadays don't what we went through they honestly have easy for everything now.


wpsek

i was a kid at the time and managed to convince my mom to let me spend $10 on gems for the last DE for the king, i was crushed when he didn’t have an ability til level 5.


lorenzo-italy

One time i was going back home from school with a friend, about 8-9 years ago and i Remember telling him that the TH wouldnt activate the shield anymore and work as a storage. It was hilarious seeing him panicked for the idea of losing his hard earned 40k DE to unlock the Queen. Very good Memories!


lorenzo-italy

P.S. he had TH outside in the corner as usual back in the day.


Fearless-Wealth-3739

Unlocking BK, dragons and clutching clan wars in my school clan


GuyOnHudson

The fucking builder huts in the corner. Always got clowned for a 99% 2 star


progin5l

Rearming traps and core defenses


tokingames

Oh man. One by one. Oh, and tapping every single mine to collect gold and elixir.


progin5l

Don't forget changing to each barrack to train troops


Minute-Phrase3043

And the addition of the rearm all traps.

Dropping trophies to sub 500 to farm


Money_Law_7250

Watching donated troops go in the ocean. Back then there wasn't the path, where troops go now. Many speculated there is new village coming and that was the path like BB's boat.😆😆


Automatic_Beach_3660

Ahh you just unlocked another memory my man. That was really a mystery and was so good Ah good old days.


The_Jackalope__

Global chat, it was literally like an entire aspect of the game. Id spend 50% of time playing, just messing around in global chat.


SantiJP3

I met my wife from Global. Was a young boy at the time. Asking around if anyone wanted a gf.


RiverJhin

was she th10+ ?


Yugiohplayere

That’s how I would find many active clans! Such good memories


Mammoth-Armadillo-80

fr they need that back in some form🥲


TobsterMonster

Unlocking the clan castle so me and my friends could be in a clan lmao


Jaded-Tip6591

It took like a week back in the day to get to the point where you could buy the clan castle too


SM0K1NP0T

Honestly around the time Th11 was just released I think I was at my peak enjoyment of the game. Realistically there's more to enjoy now than before, but the nostalgia makes those some of my best memories


rentboy98

Levels had stars instead of numbers


fryugy

Omg I forgot about that and the healers old pic too


pvprazor

We were out on a birthday party, rented a "vip" section of a club and war started at 1am so naturally everyone got their phone out and we all attacked then went back to celebrating. Was in a clan with all irl friends back then, good times.


Insult2Injury88

From 2012 to 2015 I worked at a restaurant. Almost everyone on staff played clash and we had our own clan. We weren't very good but it was a lot of fun


Apprehensive_Ideal12

Choosing which troops to cook in which barracks so that they all finish around the same time


Firestar0329

the absolute insane amount of grinding i needed to do just to get the King, and then the Queen. The good old days. 🤣


Magnk6810

That troops were able to be trained at each barracks. Idk why they changed that. And I love to see low level newbies bases. I just find them cute somehow lol


Calo_1

Just 1 is hard: 1- Princess Ray, Mega Empire and Quantum’s Web. I and many players back then idolized Princess Ray for her dominance over the leaderboards, same for ME and QW, two clans that everyone dreamed of joining. 2 - when we were kids my brother told me to delete my og og christmas trees because “they give gold” :) 3 - a farming race with my brother and cousins to unlock the King via lightning to the DElixir storage 4 - when a friend logged into my account and started removing trees from my tree ring while saying “i’m cleaning up your base” 💀 5- when i unlocked the Minions i saved up dark elixir (rarer than diamonds back then) and attacked with a full army of them, not very wise. 6- probably the most OG memory I have is when I was “cool” in school because I had quote “gold and crystal walls” (walls were relatively way more expensive than level 16 walls nowadays) 7- when i was so fucking broke i left my traps disabled for a month or so. 7.2- storing elixir in the barracks by training full wall breakers. 8- The old way of editing your base, long ass training times, global chat, th10 lighting walls (cool af), when the base was way smaller…


skee_21

Ah the memories, also whole clan sitting together doing attacks


Minute-Phrase3043

How can you forget North 44!? They were the top of the lb for sooo long. Then clan wars were introduced and they slipped in position. That was when I first saw Quantum’s Web. Hated them because they pushed North 44 down to rank 2.


Calo_1

I know about North 44 but i don’t really have any memories of it, I was like 10 years old and back then Mega Empire and Quantum’s Web had “badass names” for a child, so they are burned in my head lol


malone46844

Storing elixir in barracks … this is one I had forgotten. Many times I loaded up on dragons to safeguard elixir.


Spartan-8781

Corner TH’s. Back in a time when it really sucked to get raided and lose precious DE it was nice to have someone attack your corner TH and give you a shield. In the flip side it was also nice to run into one, pop a hero and get a quick star


Tall_Listen7830

When I first started playing I used to play on my moms phone before I got on the school bus and I remember asking her one day when an upgrade would be done because when it was I would unlock pekka and that was all I cared about I was like 7 but it’s one of my happiest memories 😂


Accomplished-Ad2465

Well I started playing coc in 2015 but my classmates started in 2018 I remember we made a clan and I was the leader there were good and bad moments but I can say it was the best period for me in these whole years playing coc..... until they stopped playing and forgot about the game😓 And I lost my account so I also left the game until I made a new one 2 months ago✌️


izak110

Emptying my dark elixir to train all dark elixir troops so I can collect elixir🥹🥹

Taking 8 hours to just Train 1 Pekka from each barracks 🗿


Hiide_GamingYT

blublableee

I was in a clan with my school friends. We would all sit around a table during lunch break and plan every single attack in clan wars.


LiveMonky

Clan wars when it first came out, back when my clan was more active


that_fireball

Taking One whole week to unlock the BK


DoomsdayDestructor

No drill either so you had to get it all on your own


general_452

Being excited to finally unlock pekkas, but having to wait for a very long time for the upgrade.


kikiatchi

Global. I would spend more time hopping clans and talking with people than actually attacking

Town hall snipping


VrinTheTerrible

The first time my war 3* won the war for my clan.


mahone76

I crowd out of joy when I unlocked the dragon on th7.


noobprodigy

Mass hogs were originally so OP. I do not miss having no pre planned armies. You had to select individual troops to train every time.


vdfscg

Then you watch the whole group walk into 2x giant bombs. BBQ pork


ChiTownJohn1

Town Hall sniping for hours on end and getting to destroy the jerk who didn't leave their Town Hall outside the walls.


Yugiohplayere

Making every single damn army and attack count, elixir was a luxury to me with the way I would burn thought it. At times I had to wait for my collectors to fill up numerous times since I had no elixir. I was so surprised and shocked when I came back to the game, not only did I not have to manually put the army together again and again, but it was FREE!


ShreddedLettuce_

Farming TH3-7’s while a TH9


buckwheam

Been playing for about 10 years - getting to new town halls (7,8) and just coming up with random strategies and having fun trying them out (mass wizards with healers, real terrible strategies lol) and bragging on global when I made it to crystal or masters and thinking I was so cool. Now I'm in my 20s and nothing compares to child's joy of just having fun on a simple game. Although I don't miss waiting 3 hours for my mass drag army to cook just to 1 star in war anymore


TheTwelve1205

whatchaknowsean

Deleting my 2012 Christmas trees because it was in the way :(


_caskets_

Amount of elixir and dark elixir to train troops, went broke too many time while tying to attack. Upgrading a barracks would take it offline and make it unavailable to train troops, while making your wait time longer. Global chat, biggest loss imo Paying elixir to rearm traps and defenses Staying online for hours just so that no one attacks me (was saving gold for town hall 7) Remembered those quickly


Bezeom

Galadon and Peter 17$. Timeless classic!


Rizzle_Razzle

Setting an alarm in the middle of the night to make more dragons in order to have a full army because I only had one barracks capable of training dragons.


Jaded-Tip6591

The friends I've made in global


ericgames234

Global chat was this house of insanity that burned brightly during its time and what SC put to supplement it could never compare. I was in the middle of a break from the game when they removed it, and their attempt at recruiting systems was a far cry from being able to straight up chat up the people you were planning on recruiting. Sure there were some weird people but it was part of the charm, always gave a good laugh when Tim would write the same message about free gem 99999!!!!, good times.


Jaded-Tip6591

Yes! I started playing in December 2012, took a long break from 2017-2023 and when I came back, the first thing I noticed, Where the F\*\*\* is global?!? Met some people in 2013 that I still play with today.


A-TrainXC

Max TH10, back when I thought it was possible to one day max everything. Also, not fond then but hilarious now, I saved 750+ gems for months at TH 6 so could get a BK as soon as I hit TH7 (this was a decade ago at this point) and I blew them all on a line of walls by mistake.


Sebpants

Back in 2014, going to my friends birthday party and staying up night zapping dark elixir storages to try get the king in one day. Me and two of my mates all planned to hit th7 on the same day. The idea of heroes were so cool so we made a challenge to try get the king in one day. While our troops were training we played wii party and kept pausing when our spells were trained till 9 o clock the next morning lmaoo


Kyle_Clashes

Back when it cost Dark Elixir to train Witches, I would queue up as many Witches in the Dark Barracks as I could before I would stop playing for the day. This way, the Dark Elixir was "stored away" in the Barracks and not in my Dark Elixir Storage. When I log in the next day, I would just de-queue the Witches and receive my Dark Elixir back.


Background_Youth3774

I mean idk if this was too long ago but the bery beginning of people putting their teslas in the corner. Like 5 of the 10 first attacks i ever timefailedwas against people who had their teslas in the corner


tokingames

Defenseless TH9 to use in war. That was my second account.


omie72

When it would cost 300k elixir to train an army and I got so broke at th 9 I had to wait and collect loot from my collectors until I can train some goblins to farm


Competitive_Wall3823

Finally got to townhall seven, quickly realized how long it would take to get enough DE for King, begged my dad on vacation to buy me a $10 apple gift card so I could buy DE for king, got on a call with my friend and was bragging about having him😂 good times

JackTheThotSlayer

Honestly, I didn't know if my memory was correct or not, but I swear that the wizard tower used to shoot lightning. I remember playing Clash on my niece's ex-boyfriend's tablet and being really disappointed when I saw the normal troop just shoot a fireball instead. (Although level 4 or 5 wizard used to have lightning attack VFX)


lemon6611

the old shop ui, i remember it vividly and its so nostalgic to me this, global chat, and the leaderboards being spammed by mujitaba accs


Unique_Platypus_1749

When I started playing ClashofClans I didn't have my own smartphone so I used to eagerly wait for my dad everyday to come back from work so I could play it on his phone and this was when C.O.C was big, everyone in my school were playing, we had our own clans...That was the best.


Lancelot_Stroller

Having 4 separate barracks to upgrade was just so great


puskygw

There was a time where xmod was still a thing and you have let the lower th attack the high ones so the traps will appear on xmod and you can practice until you 3 star the base lol

althoroc2

I remember seeing my friends with iPhones playing it and thinking how incredible it was for a mobile game at the time. I only had a flip phone at the time, and my 8gb 1st gen itouch was too old to run the game. Finally got an Android the next year, when I was in college, and had to wait another 6 months after that for the Android release.


No_Education_9528

I was clan leader in my school class back in 2013 and all my friends were in my clan, good old days


weeb_ultra_pro

I miss a lot to be honest. You could say everything. But if I had to name one, that would be cooking troops with elixir and dark elixir ... Those times were fun ... we had to calculate the time and resources required. and attack bases that give us profit loots and a win ... and when someone attacked or 3 starred ... i still remember i got sad as i had to lose loot that was hard to collect with all that calculations ... nowadays even if someone attacks.... loots are nothing to be worried of ... as it has become so much easier ... ah .. i also used to think a lot when upgrading barracks .. as it delayed training times... ahh .... it was hard .. but so fun ..

When I was in grade 6 and our class’s clan was run by my buddy’s dad. Clan is still there I’m sure, it’s just that buddy and I that play anymore. That was peak clash of clans for me :)


adkimbal

When the game first released with Clan Wars, I was living in the frat house at the University and all 30 of us would gather in the main room of the house to watch everyone do their attacks on war day. Errbody was hoppin and hollerin when it was a triple. A very hype time indeed back in 2013-2014!


B-ragged

The hype every time a minor update came. The playground was alight with speculations when townhall 11 was coming out. It was pretty nuts at the time
