Plan an attack, step by step

Choose New plan, upload a clear screenshot showing the whole village, and optionally name the plan. The image is the background for your placements and notes, so use the same view your clan will discuss.

In an existing plan, use New to start another plan or Duplicate plan to try a different strategy without changing the original. Recheck placements and grid alignment after replacing a screenshot.

• Choose a troop, spell, hero, siege machine, or other item from the deployment bar, then click or tap the village to place it. On touch screens, select the item first, then tap the map.
• Choose a drawing tool to mark entry points, directions, and movement paths. Press Enter to finish a movement path; use Backspace to remove its last point.
• Switch to Select, then drag an item to move it. Select an item to adjust the available settings, such as count, size, range, or style. Click an empty part of the map to clear the selection.
• Use Undo and Redo to step through recent edits. Ranges toggles range outlines.

You can plan without calibrating the grid. Placement starts in normal mode, where items move freely; range outlines use an estimate and may be less exact. Align the grid when you want accurate tile measurements or grid snapping.

1. Open View and choose Set grid (or Edit grid to adjust an existing alignment).
2. Drag the four corner handles to match the village edges. Auto-fit can provide an experimental starting estimate; inspect and adjust the corners yourself.
3. Choose Save grid in the View menu to finish. Placement pauses during calibration, while canvas pan and zoom remain available.

Calibration and Snap are separate: alignment makes snapping available, while Snap controls whether supported items follow tile positions. Show grid only toggles the visible lines, so you can hide them while snapping or show them while placing freely.

• On a touch screen, pinch to zoom and move two fingers to pan.
• On a trackpad, pinch to zoom. With a mouse, hold ⌘ on Mac or Ctrl elsewhere while scrolling.
• With Select active, drag an empty area to pan; you can also hold Space while dragging.
• Use the zoom controls or + and − keys to change scale. Choose Fit view to show the whole image, or Fullscreen for more canvas space.

Editable plans save changes automatically. The Save control shows when changes are saving and when they have reached the server. You can also choose Save to send the current edits immediately.

• Offline: edits cannot reach the server yet. Keep the plan open and reconnect so it can sync.
• Save failed: reconnect, then use Retry if it is offered.
• Conflict: Save local copy keeps your edits in a separate plan. Load server version replaces the local edits; save a local copy first if you want both.

Choose Share to open Plan access, invite people, and set link permissions. Anyone with an edit link can change the plan; anyone with a view link can see it. Restricted plans are limited to invited people and, for workspace plans, workspace members.

Preview opens a presentation view in a new tab. Check the saved status before sharing or posting a plan so others see your latest edits.
