Balancing and Update News:
*Much of the balancing this update is coming in the form of new levels and smaller tweaks.
Town Hall 11
* Cannon level 14
* Lava Hound level 4
* Balloon level 7
In Town Hall 11, air armies have dwindled in popularity. These new levels should help revitalize high-level air armies while helping to defend against the ground rush.
Town Hall 10+
* Bowler housing space reduced to 6
Bowlers just didn't seem to be providing enough value for an 8 housing space unit, and the bulky size made him a tough fit in a well-rounded army.
Town Hall 7+
* Spring Trap level 2-5
New Spring Trap levels with minor capacity increases will help catch additional units from time to time. They might even catch an extra Valkyrie!
Other
*Edit Mode tools: A bunch of features added to make editing layouts easier

===Version 8.116.2 - 26th January "Treasury, Loot Cart & Star Bonus"===
The Treasury
* Clan Castles now house a well-protected resource bank: the Treasury

* It's the safest place to save up bonus loot until you are ready to spend it!
* The previous concept of "War Loot Storage" has been removed from the Clan Castle info screen, etc.
* Treasury capacity is determined by Town Hall and Clan Perks levels. Clan Castle level has no effect
* Clan Perks for "War loot extra storage" have been changed to "Treasury extra storage” (Clan Perk values are unchanged, Treasury storage is similar to War Loot storage at most Town Hall levels)

Daily Star Bonus

Loot Cart

* Collect this cart to recover some of your lost resources
* Only one Loot Cart will appear at a time, so collect it right away!
* The Loot Cart appears randomly in the area village after any defense and it contains 20% of the lost resources
* If a Loot Cart is already spawned, its Gold, Elixir and/or Dark Elixir values will update if a subsequent defense would be worth more of that resource
* A Loot Cart cannot be collected if your storages are full
Balancing
* The Eagle Artillery now deals 3x damage to Golems and Golemites
* Second Air Defense unlocks now at Town Hall 6, third at Town Hall 7
Bug fixes
* Cases where Skeletons would get stuck in layers of walls especially when chasing Hog Riders are now fixed;
* Instances where multiple Dark Spells could be donated to Clan Castle are now fixed. Only one Spell can be donated.
* In some rares cases, players would start an upgrade and then go idle for a longer period of time, and upon returning to the game that same upgrade would wrongly show 20+ days left; this issue has now been addressed.
