May 02, 2015 - Air Sweeper, Website Update, and Responses

5/1/2015

Woot new building, the Air Sweeper!  Not going to bore you guys with all the normal stuff since you've guys might have already seen it before hand and know all of it's basic feature by now.  I am so excited for this building though because it is the first 2x2 building with a radius.  There is so much potential and analyzing that I can do with this new feature and hopefully I will be the first one to post the most in-depth 'review'/analysis on it, and get more viewers for my website, hehe.

I've changed the theme of my website to be more 'professional'/ better looking for others to see, and I agree that the old theme was bad alittle due to the fact that titles are all in capitals but mobile view makes it more distinct...hopefully this new theme suits your tastes ^^.

I've have already made a [Current Meta] Page, and have move/will move more pages that is more related to the current stages of war to that section.

To those that are dedicated viewers, here is what I'm planning for when it comes to Air Sweeper :)

[Air Sweeper Analysis and Findings]
Since it just came out, I'm going to make a page dealing with my findings with Air Sweeper and my interpret of it's effect on the current anti-3 star bases as well as against lavaloons.  There are alot of subsections to this topic so I'll briefly say each of them.

~~[20 Grid - Air Sweeper]
I'm going full out on the fact that this building can be explained by my 20 Grid concept and makes it easier to understand how it's effect is.  Due to the fact it's new, I can really research it well and update as I need.  It's a fun topic and will probably get me more readers if I do it right ^^. Here is a sneak preview of my first time doing an animation with photoshop.
Picture
In the [20 Grid - Air Sweeper], it's divided into two parts, [Against Normal Loons Pathing] and [Against Raged Loons Pathing] which is influenced the reach of what the air sweeper can protect.  That's all I can say for now, and hopefully I can do these animated .gif more quicker since they can explain alot better than just text and pictures.

---[Three Uses of Air Sweeper]
Right now I got 3 uses (in terms of it's air defense quality) for which Air sweeper works.
[To Deter] Sort of like a mind game before the action because of the fact that you can see where the Air Sweeper is facing, it's basically saying " Look here bud, this is my anti-air turf, so think about it before you strike here," and causes a sense of avoidance.
[To Protect] Read my 20 grid Air Sweeper for the tiles, but the sweet spot of 2-7th tile is the best location to protect a defense building.
[To Delay/Distrupt] To push away and/or delay the air troops.

---[How it Affects Anti-3 Star Bases]
The next phase to my [Divisions] where I'll post the updates and impacts it will have on anti-3 star bases. For example, penta lavaloons are in trouble due to the fact that the pups are pushed away from the Queen and that changes everything.

---[Air Sweeper as a 2x2 Building]
This is BIG topic due to the fact that Air Sweeper is the first of it's kind to be 2x2 building (meaning it can be put between buildings) AND it has it's own perimeter, something that teslas don't have.  With that in mind, 2x2 buildings have a special characteristics of being able to save a wall space, and also the fact that since the fact that it can be placed almost anywhere, with it having it's own territory, it means you can create a weird section and it will still work with it.  More to be explained later when know more.


---[Southern Teaser Example]
Just a small demo of the effects and the placement of the Air Sweeper in a southern teaser base and it's relationship with it's territory.  I'll explain how effective it is at certain location and the impact it will have.  It'll just be a micro section tbh.

---[Air Sweeper Findings]
Any new information and discussions I have and will find in the future will be posted in this section.



Which is the Next Wednesday Update?

The Votes are in:

Supercell Poll
Base Break Down: 9 votes
20 Grid Concept: 8 votes
Characteristics of War Base: 6 votes

My Website's Poll
Base Break Down: 10 votes
20 Grid Concept: 9 votes
Characteristics of War Base: 10 votes

So the winner is Base Break Down with 19 votes, woot!  Thank you to those that have votes, and it shows me what you guys would like to see :).  I'll try my best to update the Base Break Down by Wednesday, but not going to make a big promise due to the fact that Air Sweeper is taking up a chunk of my time.  Those that voted 20 Grid concept have the pleasure of seeing the well done [20 Grid - Air Sweeper] soon XD.


Currently Recruiting for War Whales

Sorry for the advertisement hehe :P  Just helping the clan rebuild it's members, click on the link below to check out the recruitment page. This recruitment thread is hosted by me and I've also added alittle kick to make it more like-able which I don't think any other base recruiter has done.  I've made it so the new members have to select a base and describe you would three star it.  It keeps the bad members away, and also ups the quality/standards of the clan ^^.

Thanks for the Comments

Thank you to those that comment on my blog/sent the comments thru the new comment at the footer.  Was getting alittle scared that no one would comment after it was posted 2 days OTL, but you guys post it up and made me happy ^^.  Glad to see there are those that appreciate my work, and those that comment for me, and hopefully we can reach a point where we get a more larger reader base.  I know my contents are good, and although it might be easier creating youtube videos, I'm more content displaying my works in image format and I know that I can educate and attract those that want to learn/known more other than from youtube.

My mind is still endless on what I can spew out and I probably have enough ideas/future plans/stuff that I can create to last me until November minimum.  Base Break Down for example can expand almost 15x it's current size and info right now and cover almost alot more sub-topics.  

If you have any other suggestions (other than Attack compositions/How to attack bases), comment in this blog post.

Also a new sub section/ idea that I want you guys to consider if you guys want me to do it:

[HIMB - Base Break Down by Aki]
How is my base, Base break down by akiyume :P.  I'm thinking of opening up shop in the [How is my Base?] subsection of Supercell and also make it under my [Base Analyze] section for people to see how to dissect and comment on a base.  I think I'll only do if it the bases are Division A - Stage 4 and above of my Legend :P.  Tell me what you think.

Wow more awesome info. I was wondering how you did that air sweeper animation. So you are proficient also with Photoshop :)

Not really I just take screenshots and do it like how Skitch works, I only know how to do the basic photoshop XD. Photoshop has it's own 'timeline' thing where you can do the animation frame by frame and just adjust it each frame and make it into a small video file afterwards.

Still have alot to do, but I'm enjoying it

Damn I do Photoshop myself so will look into it. With the animations it takes your already awesome website to a whole new level. Personally I would like to learn how to build my own bases. I tried once and it held to 2 stars but I wouldn't trust it in a high level war as unlike you I don't really know what I am doing. I'd like to see more user interaction on your website too. The way it is now it's limited to comments under your new posts. Maybe you could put a forum widget here on your website where you and Tom and other top builders/attackers could discuss everything under the sun with a back and forth approach?

I have thought of that before but the forum widget would then need people to register and I don't think I have enough 'community' of dedicated members willing to register to talk. Mostly there are alot more silent readers which would rather comment once quickly. Also the fact that the forum widget doesn't really look that pretty/don't know where it'll actually work, as well as the fact that supercell forum is a decent place (but it's too spread out the focus isn't about learning/getting better.)

I do wish for it to happen though, but I want to build more reputation, build the traffic to the point where there is more reoccurring people then I would make a forum. I could technically make it now though.

Check out the [Other] tab and see the [Forum Testing] page to see how it looks like.

Hey I think it looks good actually, just need to start a topic (ex: thoughts on how the new updates will affect wars and base building) and get some feedback in order to see how it works. Your website forum wouldn't be a replacement for SC forum tho. I'm thinking more along the lines where you can really take over a whole discussion and have your colleagues really go in depth there complete with markups and test bases. Kind of like a discussion room. Btw I heard that walls and heroes now weigh more in the war search algorithm. A player I know jumped 8 spaces on the war map since the update. Have you noted this too?

Hey akiyume are you going to make a new base with the air sweeper or just add some minor fixes to the current bases and put in the air sweeper.

Hi there peter,

Right now I'm working really hard to make the Air Sweeper section presentable and all my thoughts towards it as well as do the Base Break Down I promised for Wednesday. I'm putting my Third Generation of Metaki on hold for now since I have alot on my plate. For the next base I make though I will take FULL advantage of the air sweeper's characteristics, and it would probably take a long time to make, so please look forward to it in the future :)
