Army Camp
The Army Camp
- Definition
- An Army Camp takes up a 5x5 space. They continue to function even when they are being upgraded, allowing you to keep your armies at full capacity at all times.
- In the Halloween update, Troops would not die even after one's camps are destroyed. Due to people's support towards keeping this feature, Supercell has made it permanent. Now Troops inside the camp, even if destroyed, don't perish.
- The Army Camp is where your troops go when they're done training. Some Troops may take up more than one space (Giants, Wall Breakers, Balloons, Wizards, Healers, Dragons, P.E.K.K.As, Minions, Hog Riders, Valkyries and Golems). Upgrading and building more Army Camps allow more Troops to be stored, allowing higher chances of victory in raids. The Troops inside will NOT defend your village; only ones that have been donated from your clanmates in the Clan Castle can.
- The maximum amount of housing space you can have for your Troops is 220 (4 Army Camps x 55 spaces).
- The Barbarian King does not take up space in the Army Camps; neither does the Archer Queen. BothHeroes either patrol the village or sleep on their own Altar.
- You should not surround your Army Camps with Walls, as they do not need protecting.
- It is always preferable to initially build all available Army Camps, and then upgrade the lowest-level ones first. Every time you upgrade (except upgrading to level 2) the camp only gains 5 more housing space and it costs more elixir the more you upgrade. The next level is at least 3 times more expensive than the one before it.
- Upgrade By Level
- The only major graphic change the Army Camp undergoes is at its final level.
- When initially constructed, the Army Camp is a large open grassy area with a cooking fire in the center. A bare spit appears over the fire at level 2, and at level 3 the spit is roasting a carrot.
- A small animal is turning over the fire at level 3, whith successive upgrades having larger animals.
- At level 7, the spit and food disappear. Instead, the cooking fire is surrounded by large black rocks with sharp edges.
