Nerds

Nerds were from the Clash of Clones 2014 Event and are similar to the Gremlins from the Treehouse of Horror XXIV Event. Players start with a 40 nerd limit but this can go up by upgrading Castles.

Each of the three castles, Barbarian Castle, Boxingham Palace and Castle Recycle, generates nerds like a currency. The more nerds the player attacks with, the faster the player earns the reward. The fastest a player can destroy a castle is 4h while a house can be destroyed in 60m if the player uses the maximum amount of 9 nerds to attack. To defend the player's buildings against attacks, the player must tap the shield icon in their town. If a player's building is destroyed, they can tap it to instantly rebuild, with an elixir and Gold reward. The player's nerds were colored blue, while enemy nerds were colored red.

Attacking Other Towns
During this update, players can attack other towns to earn Elixir and Gold. This is done by sending Nerds to attack houses or castles.
