Edit for Clash of Clans

Clans
Clans are groups of players who join together to support each other, either materially (donating troops) or verbally (giving advice). Players can join or create a clan once they have rebuilt the clan castle.

A major facet of the gameplay of Clash of Clans is Clan Wars. Clan leaders and co-leaders can enter their clan into war matchmaking once they have at least 10 members. Once an opponent has been found, a 23 hour period of time called "preparation day" begins where the two clans can stock their defending clan castles with troops, make changes to their bases layout, and discuss attacking strategies. After this period of time is over, "battle day" begins, and will last for 24 hours. During this time, players can attack twice, and can attack any of the opposing bases they wish. Once a player has attacked a base, they cannot attack that same base again, even if they have an attack remaining. By cooperating with their fellow clanmates, players will seek to gain as many stars from the opponents bases as possible. At the end of "battle day," the clan that has gotten the most stars will be declared the winner. In the event of a tie, whichever clan has gotten the highest percentage of base destruction is declared the winner.

Players can receive bonus war loot if they gain at least 1 star from the bases they attack in war. This loot is based on the strength of the bases defenses, troops, and heroes. The highest ranked bases will offer the most loot, while the lowest ranked bases will offer the least. At the end of the war, the members of the winning clan will be awarded with the full bonus they earned, while the losing clan's members will only receive a 1/3 of the bonus.

In the May 2016 update, Friendly Challenges were introduced to allow clanmates to attack each others bases, however these battles don't exchange loot or trophies and don't consume the attackers army, nor the defender's clan castle troops. In addition, base layouts newer than 24 hours cannot be used in Friendly Challenges, and the layouts of the enemy clans bases are not revealed until the start of battle day.
