Clash-of-clans – way to view the clans I’ve been in

It is a bit weird at first - the destruction of your base only yields a hunk of your resources being stolen. Repairing your base takes only a few seconds and costs very little.

The overall goal in the game is pretty murky. There are ever-increasing base upgrade goals to be met, which you will gain either by waiting for your own resources to collect, or more quickly by raiding other people's bases. Pride in your town's strength and building levels could thus be considered a major goal of the game.

However, I would argue that the overall goal is to rank highly in the player-vs-player leagues, which require you to amass tons of trophies by successfully attacking other bases or defending your own.

If someone in your clan asks for "Level 5 Hogs" in a language you don't understand you wont be able to help them and you may give them what they DO NOT want. In war it is very important to give the troops asked for because war strategies are chosen in advance. Giving the wrong troop results in additional troop request delays.

In our clan we not only require English, but that the player names also be in the Latin alphabet. I cannot read or write in Mandarin, so how would I address or communicate to a player with Chinese characters in his name?

Finally, for a war clan, it's not just language that matters... being in a similar timezone is very helpful. If you are asleep while the rest of your clan is planning and attacking and v.v. you will not be much help or receive much help.
