War Base vs Village and How to Edit Your War Base
War Base vs Village
You have a village from the very beginning of the game. You don't even have a war base till you rebuild your clan castle and join a clan.
Your village is what you are playing with from the first minute you're in the game. It's where you earn resources from mines and collectors, where you build and upgrade buildings, and where you make troops. When you tap "Attack" and then "Find match" and attack someone, you are raiding someone else's village. When you get a message saying your village was attacked while you were away, someone did it to you. When someone requests reinforcements in the chat box (you'll see a green donate button), they are requesting reinforcements for their village. When you tap you clan castle and tap request, you are requesting reinforcements for your village. These reinforcements sit in the clan castle in your village until used. You can use them on offense in war or in a raid. If you have them sitting in your cc when you get attacked, they will come out to fight on defense once enemy troops get close enough.
You get a war base when you rebuild your clan castle and it becomes important when you join a clan. When your clan is at war you can see the war bases for your clan and the opponent clan by tapping the war button (there are crossed swords on it, left side of screen). During war, the war button takes you to the war map. At first, your war base will be identical to your village. You want to change that, different things are valuable in war base and village, see Village and Base and War Defense. Your war base has all the same buildings as your village. It even has its own clan castle (cc). Donations to war base cc's are separate from donations to village cc's. Troops donated to war cc's will come out and defend your war base when the enemy gets close enough. We have rules about donations to war clan castles. If any of this information is new to you, you do not yet qualify to donate to war cc's. To donate to war cc's, click on one of your clanmates' war bases on the war map and tap donate. You will get kicked out if you do this without following the donation rules. High level players will fill your clan castles with excellent troops.
How to edit your war base
You can edit your war base by either tapping the "Edit War Base" button on the war map or by tapping the "Layout Editor" from your village screen (right side of screen, hand and two arrow), then going to the war base tab.
