Based on previous reports, the October update for “CoC” will be a major one because it would bring a lot of changes in the game.
It was actually Supercell who disclosed what the update shall contain when it recently announced on its official forum that Arranged Wars or Clan Challenge is indeed in the works. The speculations are saying that such feature is part of the latest update while there are also rumors saying that it could be part of a future update to the game.
The Clan Challenge will usher a new way of doing clan wars. In the reported new feature, clans may issue a challenge to any clan it wants to go up against with. The clan issuing the challenge will set the details of the event, which include the preparation days as well as the duration of battle days.
There are also reports saying that “Clash of Clans” players could be rewarded with free gem mining in the upcoming updates, which they could use to finance the putting up of clan structures the players would need in the clan wars.
The game developer shall also be changing some of the present rules in “Clash of Clans” particularly with regards to loot and penalty. But there has been no further detail released by Supercell.
