Clash of Clans October Update events

Every big update brings new options, and it's no different this time around. A new option to add a goblin builder has been made available for the players who already have maxed out their own bases, and at least at level 7. While the goblin builder will be available to acquire for a few gems, here are the terms and conditions:

• Resources are still required to upgrade using Goblin Builder.
• The Gem cost of Goblin Builder depends on the construction time of the upgrade. The longer the upgrade time, the higher the Gem cost.
• Boosts from the Season Pass will reduce Gem cost.
• Canceling an upgrade Goblin Builder is working on will still refund the 50% of Resources but the Gems used are not refunded.
• Any upgrades that remain unfinished when the event ends will continue upgrading until the construction is completed.
• Goblin Builder can only upgrade one thing at a time.
• Builder Potions affect the upgrade speed of Goblin Builder.
• If all Builders and Goblin Builder are currently busy, attempting to start a new upgrade will still give you the cheapest Gem option to complete an upgrade.

A goblin researcher will be available to help players to get one additional research.

Additional Clash of Clans October update changes

• The Troop info screens have been drastically improved to provide easier to read information, easier access to unit stats, and really cool preview animations of each unit and their abilities! Check them out and let us know what you think!
• If your Village is "rushed," attempting to upgrade your Town Hall will give you a notification recommending you upgrade your offensive abilities. While this pop up doesn't prevent you from upgrading your Town Hall, it serves as a notification that attacking after upgrading your Town Hall may be more difficult if your offensive capabilities aren’t upgraded enough yet.
• Events now have a dedicated UI button for increased visibility.
