'Clash of Clans' October Update Review, News: Will The Game Bring Back Its Former Glory?

C. de Lacy

Supercell's most popular mobile game "Clash of Clans" is pretty serious with gaining back a huge number of players with the most massive update this year so far. Will this get a warm response?

The wait for the October 2016 update for "Clash of Clans" is almost over, though we've seen pretty much everything that the update will be offering in a number of sneak peeks. These features could either make or break it for the game, and fortunately enough, the long list of new features refreshes the game for both new and old players.

Army Troop Training

The Army Troop training system has been revamped and greatly improved. The October update eliminated the need to retrain an army repeatedly, which feels more like a chore than something that improves the players' defenses.

Two armies can now be trained at the same time and there's an easier way to retrain and make combo templates.

The video below provides a more in-depth explanation of the new feature:
