Clash of Clans 2018 Updates: 9 Things We Want Next

The hit mobile game Clash of Clans is six years old and it’s still going strong. Now that the Builders Base is a year old and Town Hall 12 is taking over the game, what’s next? The June Clash of Clans update was the biggest one in two years, but we believe more is coming in 2018. With that in mind here’s what to expect and what we want to see next.

The developers at Supercell constantly listen to player feedback and make improvements to the game. We saw a lot of that in the March update, and the TH12 update is exactly what fans wanted. However, most Builder Base players have maxed out at BH8 and want something new.

Now that players have two villages, Clan Games, better Clan Wars, and special events, a lot is going on inside our villages. However, that also means there is plenty of room for exciting new changes, game modes, and additional features. We know an “end-game strategy” is coming eventually, and Clan War Leagues, but here are a few other things we want too. This is a Clash of Clans 2018-19 update roadmap and wishlist.

What’s next for Clash of Clans? More Siege Machines, Builder Hall 9, the Goblin map, and maybe a fourth Hero. For those keeping track, Town Hall 11 arrived in December 2015, and the Town Hall 12 release on June 11th, 2018 was nearly three years later.

Before that, the last major update was around over a year ago, in May, the Builder Base. So Town Hall 12 was right on time, and now we’re waiting for more. A big Reddit AMA from a Supercell employee earlier this year shared tons of exciting information. That’s a great place for any fan to start, or check out our slideshow below.

That said, the main village is only one aspect of the game. The Builder Base is starting to mature, and Supercell could take it a bunch of different directions. Blend both villages into one, let players use both for Clan Wars, or just keep each one separate and continue to improve them. I really want Builder Base 9 with another new troop, or potentially spells of some sort.

The Town Hall 12 update was a huge step in the right direction. Simple because new troops and balance changes can only take things so far when we’ve played for 5-6 years. Siege Machines and the Electro Dragon have completely changed how I attack, putting excitement back into the game. Supercell also made a lot of changes to lower prices, increase rewards, and help players continue to complete tasks and upgrades. Was this update enough to get you excited about Clash of Clans again? Would you rather see the focus on Builder Hall? Maybe our suggestions below are what you want.

Here are some potential new features or changes we want (or expect) from Clash of Clans in 2018 or early 2019. These are changes based on what the community wants, what I want as a Town Hall 11, and a few general changes everyone can appreciate. Whether they’re to Builders Base or both villages.

Versus Battles in the Main Village

The Main village and the Builders Base are completely different. They each have pros and cons, or strengths and weaknesses. However, one thing we see often and want is versus battles in the main village. Basically, something to make it exciting again.

In Builders Base you don't lose gold or elixir from battles, and instead, battle someone head-on and whoever deals the most damage gets the loot. This way we don't lose tons of resources and don't have to worry about gold or elixir while we battle.

Wouldn't it be nice if Supercell added the same vs battles to the regular base? Would it even work? Right now you can attack people with the battle button, Clan Wars, or Clan Games. That's it, but we want one more option. Versus would be a perfect way to earn more money and practice attacks without worrying about competing. Not to mention every percentage counts, and huge bases in the home village mean these will be very tight matches.

The only potential problem is matchmaking, and ensuring these vs battles are fair. With such big bases and tons of defensive structures, finding a fair balance is likely a huge challenge for the developers.

Hey, even a 2v2 mode would be amazing, where the highest overall percentage and stars between the two groups win. The Siege Machines and a Town Hall 12 that fights back will make things interesting, but we're not sure it's enough.

We do know they're planning some sort of Clan Wars League, so each war isn't just a one-off event. Work your way to the top.

Plz sir name changing option for 3 rd time provided for coc player. These is the most problem each one player faces. So i want u to request you to take step. You can change in that way such only the gems you can change the third time (for 5000 starting) or whatever it like be i must say 5000 is the best because it collects for player almost 1.5 to 2 years so in such period player get an idea about the game and put the suitable name for village plz sir my humble tequest u to take a action for my reaquest. I am positively respnse for your answer. Thanking you

Add a new Barrack called the special barrack or something that has all the seasonal troops that have come and gone such as the giant Skelton and the ice wiz and the battle ram as well as some new troops :)

How anout light elixer and a whole new troop ensemble. It could be made up of troops that don’t necessarily target building or structures or cause damage but instead assist in defending your troops during an atk. Boosting defense or power. Healers would basically fall into this new category and it could be used to create another series of buildings assisting in lower lvl ths as well as giving higher lvls something to focus attention on. Revolutionizing atk strats. Or these light troops could even be used to protect home village. Strengthening wall sections or slowing atking parties.
