Hello Gmacdonald52,

The name change bonus can be used to alter the player's name from player_(#'s). It can also be used if a player wants to switch clans and appear as a different person. However, if someone has added you as a contact to their list, they will still be able to find your town even under a different name. 

Wax seals can be used once the supreme thing has been built inside a clan's stronghold. They're there to exile Jarls from other clans from the Valley of the Aesir, or the border surrounding the stronghold, which means that if a player is banished their town is removed from inside the Valley.

Storing troops in the mead hall of a shielded clan mate is a common tactic, and it has two purposes: reinforcement of that town when the shield drops, and protecting them when not in use. You can reinforce any fellow clan mate under a shield and as long as that shield lasts, those troops are not able to be attacked. Just click on the clan mate's town, and select the "reinforcement" option from the pop up window on their town. This tactic can also be used to protect resources (many clan banks are permanently shielded to house a clan's resources that are not being used on the stronghold).  

Ofc you can change name,town name, hero name etc. But, as TERAHAWKEYES said if enemy added you to the contact list he'll find you
