It's that time of the year again! So here's a spooky Halloween update with a couple of limited-time treats:
*Harvest some bonus Elixir from special Halloween Cauldron obstacles.

===Version 7.200.7 - 9th September 2015 "Spell revamp & War tiebreaker"===
Spell Superiority and a Clan War Tiebreaker!
* Improved Lightning, Poison, Earthquake and Freeze spells!
* Lightning Spell level 7 and 25 new Wall pieces have been added to Town Hall level 10.
* Total Destruction is now a Clan Wars tiebreaker – if the score is even at the end of the war, the Clan with more destruction percentage in their best attacks will be the victor!
* Attack and Defense tabs have be added to Clan tabs in the War Stats to quickly see all best attacks in the war for either clan.
* The appearance of Wall level 11 has been revamped and looks TOTALLY EPIC.
Recharged Lightning Spell

* Increased damage for Lightning Spell levels 5 and 6.
* Lightning Spell bolts now strike closer together to miss less often.
* Lightning Spell level 6 is now available at Town Hall 9.
Reworked Poison Spell
* Troops in Poison Spells now take less damage at first, but much more over time.
* Poison Spell damage now increases to huge amounts and lingers after leaving the spell.
* Poison Spells now also reduce the attack rate of defending Troops.
Reworked Earthquake Spell
* Earthquake Spells deal much more damage, regardless of a building's current hitpoints.
* Repeated Earthquake Spells now deal diminishing damage to the same buildings.
* Four Earthquake Spells will still always destroy any level of Wall!.
* There are no longer any special "building execution rules" for Earthquake spells - a building just needs to be reduced to 0 HP.
* Example: If an Earthquake Spell has 25% damage, the first Earthquake spell cast on a building will ALWAYS deal 25% of maximum HP damage, thus destroying any building with under 25% HP remaining. Repeated Earthquake Spells on the same building deal less damage: 25/3 %, 25/5 %. 25/7 %, etc. This diminishing damage means that it is still impossible to destroy buildings only using Earthquake Spells.
Game Balancing
