Blanking the last section
This was discussed in the Afd, and I think it is necessary. It is rather offtopic and WP:COATRACKish. Konveyor Belt   express your horror  at my edits   18:33, 23 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Query what is the Afd? I'm also querying this decision.  Facts directly relevant to the game are important.  Being aware of dangers (specifically documented for this game) that children are exposed to is important.  There are plenty of other games that effectively protect child players.  I'm inexperienced with the talk page, so let me know any feedback.  Thanks!  Merxa (talk) 01:54, 5 March 2014 (UTC)


 * It is relevant to note that SuperCell created a child friendly version of this game to address these issues: BoomBeach . In this event, SuperCell made an identical game, changing only those functions which by coincidence put children at risk in the original game.  Merxa (talk) 03:28, 6 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Some references, since this game is so popular and has no protective mechanisms built in, it is exposed to issues which impact on child users.

$
I think this article is more reliable than the $4/day, especially considering the incredible growth of supercell.

Relation to Backyard Monsters?
What is the relation between Clash of Clans and Backyard Monsters?

I ask, because I used to play Backyard Monsters years ago, and just now decided to give Clash of Clans a try, and they are amazingly similar. The graphics in Clash of Clans even looks like the same style as the graphics in Backyard Monsters did before they reskinned it. (The monsters used to be very cutesy.)

It seems I'm not the first to notice the similarities either. Eg [] and []. [] even goes so far as to list a screenshot of Backyard Monsters as a knockoff of Clash of Clans even though the timing clearly doesn't work that direction... Aij (talk) 03:47, 11 August 2014 (UTC

"Commercial Reception" "The game has been very successful for Supercell. As of April 2013, Supercell had only two games on the App Store, Clash of Clans and Hay Day, and had grossed $279 million. Daily revenue was at $2.4 million,[12] with 8.5 million daily players, and Forbes projected a revenue of between $800 million and $1 billion by the end of 2013.[13][14] They ultimately earned $892 million (compared to $101 million in 2012).[15]"

Boom Beach is also a Supercell game in the App Store.

Please make it " "The game has been very successful for Supercell. As of April 2013, Supercell had only three games on the App Store, Clash of Clans, Hay Day, and Boom Beach..."

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: This paragraph is time sensitive, as the sales figures and revenue are specific to the time period where only Clash of Clans and Hay Day were on the store.

2014 Kansas City Royals
This kansascity.com article discusses how some of the members of the 2014 Kansas City Royals baseball team became distracted during the season by Clash of Clans. It's rare that a specific game receives this kind of attention in this context. I wasn't sure whether this would be relevant to a WP entry on the game, so I'm posting the source here for comments. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 01:40, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Pretty interesting. Being from Ireland I know nothing about baseball or who any of these people are but IMO it is certainly worth a brief sentence or two in the article. Maybe somewhere in the section about the financial success of the game. Bertaut (talk) 08:16, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Please add information about clan perks and levels to the Clan Wars section of the article. With the recent update there are now 10 levels for your clan to progress through that all have two perks which unlock for the entire clan. These perks range from war bonuses to free troop upgrades on donated troops.

goblins
The statement "Useful for looting bases at lower levels, Goblins take 30 seconds to create." is incorrect.

Unfortunately, apparently some users don't read posts before deleting them and just decide what is okay to post and what isn't on a TALK page based on whatever their whims tell them.

I'm not asking a question. I'm making a statement. This information is wrong. 2crudedudes (talk) 00:32, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I would like the Gameplay section i.e. "Clash of Clans is an online multiplayer game in which players build a community, train troops, and attack other players to earn gold and elixir, and Dark Elixir, which can be used to build defenses that protect the player from other players' attacks, and to train and upgrade troops.[4] The game also features a pseudo-single player campaign in which the player must attack a series of fortified goblin villages.[4]" to be edited and changed with "Clash of Clans is an online multiplayer game in which players build a community(in form of a clan), train troops, and attack other players to earn gold, elixir and Dark Elixir. Gold and elixir can be used to build defenses that protect the player from other players attacks. Elixir and dark elixir is also used to train and upgrade troops and spells. The game also features a pseudo-single player campaign in which the player can attack a series of fortified goblin villages and earn gold and elixir.

Please remove this line - "Hero is an immortal troop of this game. Every hero can be healed again and again by keeping them in sleep or by using gems." from Clash_of_Clans section as it is quite wrongly written. Please rephrase it as "Apart from troops and spells the game contains 'heroes' which are considered 'immortal' and can be used to attack and/or defend." 180.151.92.40 (talk) 14:42, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Since neither the current content nor your proposed version cited a reference for "heroes" I have simply removed that line. I have to note, however, that this website's coverage of the Barbarian King and Archer Queen does sound a lot like the game mechanism in the original quote. Huon (talk) 15:19, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
