Nicely improved, but... – Clash of Clans Review

I have been playing this game a couple weeks now and I'm really enjoying it. I've been a World War player for the last 2 years and this is the most fun I've had in a long while. This is a game of strategy (of course), but it isn't your standard strategy. Wins and losses are unimportant. The focus is on trophies and your job is NOT to get as many trophies as possible, but to win and lose trophies in order to manage your gold and elixir. It's a bit convoluted, but that's part of the fun. The graphics are very good. Even when you aren't fighting, the characters are constantly moving like a colorful ant farm. (Follow up review) I have been playing for more than a year now and it is good to see the constant improvements to the game. Adding the war feature breathed fresh life into the game and being able to have a battle set up specifically for war is super. Kudos to the developer(s). My only caveat to the game is there seems to be an imbalance now between uses for gold and pink elixir. Changing potions to elixir put quite a burden on the user since the mines and pumps generate at about the same rate. More often than not a player will run out of elixir while having plenty of gold, especially when most equipment has been upgraded. All said, the game is fun, as fast paced as you want it to be, and full of potential attacks, by you and against you. (Follow up 4 years later) I have been playing this game for 5 years now, so obviously I like it. The developers continue to keep the game fresh by adding features and rebalancing features. A comment I would offer is as the troops and buildings go up in level, the training/upgrade times get progressively longer. Having to wait 2 weeks (or longer) for a building or troop to upgrade is excessive to my mind. If I were to stop playing for those two weeks, which is quite possible, I may not come back to the game.
