Clash-of-clans – How are people bypassing the limit

clash-of-clans

How are people attacking me with more troops than they are supposed to be able to?
220 is the cap and I am being attacked with up to 245 housing spaces worth of troops.
Are they cheating, or I am I missing something?

tl;dr: 4 x Level 7 Army Camp (55 troops) + Level 4 Clan Castle (25 troops) = 245 troops

It is possible you are thinking back to an older limit, but 245 is the new limit. You don't have to do anything fancy to get 245, just max out your Army Camps and Clan Castle. The level 7 Army Camp which allows 55 troops was introduced in the Winter Update version, so possibly you are thinking back to a time before level 7.

Also, I believe there was an undocumented change with the 3.54 patch which started to include the Clan Castle deployed troops in the overall troop count. This means you will see 245 + the CC banner, but the banner doesn't mean 25 more troops it just tells you the opponent deployed CC troops (so the total is still 245).
