Inactve clans will not be very successful in content that requires activity.  

Good news is, I imagine your next oppnent is in the same boat as you repair-wise at least.  Now , if they are more active and just ran into a Trips delivered crushing defeat... then you are screwed again

I will say the repair costs do seem outrageous, we won 7150-2850 but our repair costs will be 5k alone for SH

you cannot set bonuses in destroyed buildings. they also get a reduced number of defense team slots, but it seems like that effect doesn't start until you've levelled up your buildings (i think. our opponents only managed to get a couple defense towers so i don't know if the other buildings follow different rules).

if i'm correct about that, then there's basically no disadvantage from having destroyed buildings at this stage and you're probably better off not repairing them.

Ok

We  at Raid or Die did win ...but to be very honest I am confused by  a lot still. I hope some CCs  on YouTube cover this topic and/or  I see some  more  informative posts to this thread about all things  LOL

Like  I  clicked the victory chest  (since we WON)  and  nothing happened..I was able to collect the other rewards  on the screen though (mana  orbs etc)

I am such a  noob  :(

Check your 'just new' in your accessory inventory and see if you have any feral set pieces.

none...I go back to the siege screen / says we  won and the pts say so / I got the milestobe rewards when clicked  on them but click on the victory chest and nothing

click the 'i'  and say you must have won  a defense  or won an attack to get the victory chest. The screen says  I won 2 attacks  but appears I did  not win any defense battles..   guess  I did not qualify??

also why is the siege screen  in  another prep stage allowing us to place  troops while still showing us the  enemy clan we defeated??

very confusing. makes  me think we are in round 2  or something preparing for another fight  against the same clan

Sounds like you should talk to support.

Did you fully destroy the enemy Stronghold?

You can only win a Siege, and earn a victory chest, if you beat the enemy clan on both points AND destroy their Stronghold.

Perhaps not.

Two things can result in both clans losing 

1) They score an equal number of victory points and both destroy their opponent's Stronghold 

2) Neither clan destroys their opponent's Stronghold 

Unfortunately I would imagine #2 was a fairly common scenario 

#1 happened on the forums here too

i

this   #2

Well I'm glad we figured out it's not a bug, at least.

True  but when you consider  the Victory chest has the fragments for the  Champion....It tells me I will be waiting  a very long time for that rewards  (5ish yrs   or  more)

oh come on, bot, you're not even trying

The bots are here to help us with gummies and I guess foundation repair now...

At least they are diversifying 

And ensuring your basement is without leaks.

Really, this is what Matrim gets for posting about repair work. :D

Dry basements and stronghold repairs do go hand in hand.  Bot just piggybacking properly.
