4th Mortar in Clash of Clans Update - Pros and Cons

4th Mortar in Clash of Clans Update - Pros and Cons

October 2014 Update Rumors

After Clash of Clans October 2014 Update for the Halloween Weekend which occurred yesterday expect many surprises like Skeleton Traps, Clans search and interface improvments, player profile improvments and many more there was a big suprise : 4th Mortar.

Yea it's true, the 4th Mortar now it's avalibale to buy if you are Town Hall level 8 and above. Of course this brings a lot of confussion because 4 mortars are like a bit too much or will be hard to beat with Barch Strategy and for other players who farm a lot.

So here i'm going to write some pros and cons or having a 4th Mortar in Clash of Clans.

Cons of having a 4th Mortar in Clash of Clans :

• Lower number of trophies - this is so easy to notice and to take it in consideration, good defense = attack lose. So with a 4th Mortar in game there will be harder to win of certain bases and this will cause in lower trophy among all players.

• Every base design is outdated for Town Hall 8 and above - newest addition is going to throw in the trash can every base design for Town Hall 8 and above for some reasons. There is going to be some confusion and difficulties to adapt the 4th Mortar into base designs because this will force players to place something like Cannon, Archer Tower or even Dark Elixir drill outside of the safe walls.

• Farming or Barching get's harder - most of the players when they need resources or try to max their base then they drop a few leagues and start farming or barching. With the 4th Mortar in game this is going to get harder because splash damage they do it's deadly for Archers and even Barbarians after a few hit's. Even though Barbarian and Archer level 7 troops was introduced in the last update the 4th Mortar looks like a revenge to them.

Pros of having a 4th Mortar in Clash of Clans :

• Better base defense - of course the new Mortar will make Town Hall level 8 bases and above even stronger. They can be combined to make a square, diamond or rectangle and cover almost every corner of the base.

• New defense or troop - the new addition will make or push the game developers to create new defense buildings or troop. In the current update the added a lot of defense improvement the 4th Mortar and Skeleton Traps so obviously it's time that in the next update there will be added a Cannon, Archer Tower, Wizard Tower or a new defense buildings. The same thing with troops, all these new defenses will make the developers to create new troops to handle the defense, or at least that's what is think.

• Challenging game - this addition will make the game more challenging and will push players to use better troops and improve their army/strategies when attacking. Also if you are a hardcore gamer  that you'll love more challenge in game, right.
