Maintenance break and update 3.25 - Archer level 11 etc.

Clash of clans was down for a maintenance break today, it is now back online. There was also a new update for the game released last week which is now version 3.25. This increased the levels some units and buildings can be upgraded amongst other things.

here are the 4 units from the clash of clans Facebook page (minus the archer):

The archers looks as it does on the level 11 archer tower which is pictured below, one advantage of the level 6 archer is a level 5 mortar will not kill it with one hit.
The giant, balloon and barbarian all look quite impressive.
