This page assumes you are already familiar with the information in the Clan Wars Leagues Overview on the Clash of Clans Wiki website. Be sure to read it carefully, first, and then come back to this page for details on how CWLs work in Narnia and Archenland.

Clan War Leagues

As you should now know from reading the Clan Wars Leagues Overview on the Clash of Clans Wiki website, "Clan War Leagues" or "CWLs" refers to a special Eight (8)-Day Event that occurs approximately once a month, as scheduled by Supercell.

During this time, our clan will war against seven (7) other clans, with each war having one battle day. CWLs begin with the first war's preparation day. Then, over the next seven days, the preparation day of the next war overlaps with the battle day of the current war.

In regular Clan Wars, each participant has two attacks. However, in Clan War Leagues, each participant has only one attack, making it much more important.

Clan War League: Pool and Rosters

Pool

At the start of each Clan War League Event, the Clan Leader will add (usually) every member of the clan to the CWL Pool. This group can include up to 50 members, so we usually include everyone. Being included in the Pool means that you will receive league medals based on how well the clan does in the league. These medals can be used to buy special items (such as magic hammers) in the League Shop. These medals are awarded after the CWL ends.

Rosters

During the preparation day for each war, the Clan Leader will assign 15 or 30 members to the CWL Roster (usually 15). These are the players who will actually attack or participate in the war. These players earn additional league medals for each star they earn when attacking during a CWL war.

IMPORTANT

Because of the way Supercell designed Clan War Leagues, it is essential that the 15 or 30 members selected to be in our Roster for each war are our HIGHEST-LEVEL players. Otherwise, we will be less likely to win. Not winning results in fewer medals for everyone.

We realize that this means that a significant portion of our clan members will not have the opportunity to actively participate in Clan War Leagues, but there is nothing we can do to completely correct this.

However, when two or more players are pretty much equal in war base strength, troop levels, and attack skill, we will do our best to provide opportunities for these players to swap in and out of the roster, giving as many as possible the chance to participate, as long as it does not hurt the clan's chances to win.

To those who cannot participate, we hope that you appreciate our efforts and recognize that you will earn league medals essentially without having to do anything in Clan War Leagues. While it's not as many as you would earn by participating on the active roster, it's still a pretty sweet deal!

Clan War League: Expectations

Participation

If you are one of our clan's top 15-30 players, then you should be prepared to be included in the roster for our Clan War Leagues. BE PREPARED.

This is not optional, because not including your higher-level base and not having your attack will hurt the clan's chances of earning stars and winning. Stars are important, even if we don't win.

If you are on the Roster and you do not attack in the corresponding war during Clan War Leagues, you will likely certainly lose your place on the roster, if there are others who want it, AND you may also be kicked from the clan.

The Clan Leader may make exceptions to this rule, but these will be very rare, unless he has given prior permission in response to a request from you (e.g., you're on vacation, etc.)

Standard Clan War Rules Apply

The rules covered on the Clan Wars page having to do with War-Base Donations, War-Attack Donations, and War Checklist still apply in Clan War League wars. Except for strategy - see below.

Clan War League: Strategy

Since each participant only has one attack per war, instead of two, we cannot simply attack the base beneath us, as we do in regular Clan Wars.

Our enemies' war bases will be revealed to us at the start of battle day.

In the absence of specific guidance, Narnians currently attack their mirrors on the map (#5 attacks #5),

However, if possible, a Co-Leader or other designated member in the clan may assign specific bases to each member on the Roster. These will be sent out via Clan Mail OR enemy war bases on the map may have a player's name attached to them. Check BOTH before attacking. Read Clan Chat for any changes, and to weigh in on the discussion or ask questions.

All participants are expected to attack according to the instructions in the Clan Mail/War Map, and pay attention to any strategy notes provided in chat or in the notes on the war map for your assigned base.

Overmatched Wars

However, if we are clearly overmatched (example: facing a clan where the mirrors of our TH 8s are TH 10s), then each player is to use his/her attack where they believe they can earn the most stars. While, in this case, it is technically first-come, first-served in selecting which base to attack, we ask that you keep in mind lower players. For example, if you are the highest TH in the roster, then please don't take the lowest base. That said, the lowest players need to attack as soon as possible after the war begins or risk having a much harder selection of bases from which to choose when they attack. Maximizing Stars is the Key Factor when we are overmatched.

Bonus League Medals

It is the purview of the Clan Leader to determine who will receive any Bonus Medals provided/earned during the Clan War Leagues Event. These are awarded after it is finished, since the number available is determined partially by the number of wars won.

The Clan Leader does his best to be fair in carrying out this responsibility, but makes no claims to perfection. And sometimes the choices are difficult.

In general, bonus stars are first awarded to players who go above and beyond the call of duty during Clan War Leagues. Examples may include:

Donating the majority of War-Base and/or War-Attack troops, because you happen to have the highest-level. This is an added expense that is not compensated for anywhere else.
Being the primary strategist for wars, as this takes time and effort, including sending out the Clan Mail/War Map.
Taking one for the team by having to attack a base with much less loot or on which you are sure to earn fewer stars than others, because it's in the best interest of the clan (usually at the request of a Co-Leader).
Sometimes, a member who was not even in the active roster will be awarded bonus medals to show appreciation for the positive impact they have on the clan in other ways (positive in chat, encouraging of others, promoting the Clan Guide, or just being a long-time loyal member). It's a way for the leader to say "thank you." Narnia isn't all about war prowess - it's ultimately about community.

While the above are considerations for the Clan Leader when awarding bonus medals, ultimately the decision rests with him.

Note: Simply doing well on your attacks doesn't necessarily justify your earning bonus medals. When you do well on your attacks, you earn more stars, which translate into more medals for you personally at the end. That's your reward for attacking well, not bonus medals.

Alternate Accounts: If you have more than one account, be sure to let the Clan Leader know toward the end of every CWL week which account you prefer to receive any medals you might be awarded. Otherwise, he will make his best guess, usually giving them to what he considers to be your primary account.

It should go without saying, but it doesn't - don't complain about the awarding of bonus medals. The basic thought process is explained above, but it often just comes down to the judgement of the leader. Be thankful for the medals you earned/received in CWL. Period. If you or someone else gets bonus medals - consider it an extra treat that isn't expected or owed to you.
