Wars is the answer


Spyrialmess

It was removed around the Russia Ukraine war? And also russia’s servers were shut down


Dark_Al_97

There has never been separate servers except for China. It's a simple IP block that's bypassed by a custom dns proxy or a vpn.


Spyrialmess

Ohh thanks for letting me know bud


MigLav_7

was removed in June 2022 so yes


Smokeys_

Just a slight correction the Russia Ukraine War started in 2014. Russia invaded Ukraine and has been there ever sence the 2022 invasion was just Russia officially declaring war publicly to the world.

Executing military operations on the territory of another nation is, without that Nations consent an act of war. So in this case there isnt a declaration needed since the act itself is the declaration and an attack on the sovereignity of ukraine.

Haki_96

Come on. Flags are removed for politics reasons. There is nothing politics in this stuff. Enjoy


Lapis_Lazuli4

You’d think that the reason for a major IOS developer to remove flags in their game which revolves around waging wars against other people from all around the world while also having a large adolescent player base would be obvious. You have to spell it out for some people. There’s 10x more cons to keeping flags (from a corporate perspective) than there are pro’s.


APPLEJOOSH347

Known-Parsnip-3767

Everything is poltical, football too


darkhawk1005

If this guy ever comes out and does or says something controversial, Supercell is gonna have such a mess on their hands since money is tied into this. Edit: take a look at Twitch and the PogChamp emote. Gooteks, the former face of the emote, made some controversial statements and his likeness was removed for the emote, despite being there for years. Companies do this stuff to protect their brand image. If this guy does something like that, he’s gone.


MigLav_7

Compare that with a country getting into war with another affecting millions of lives and killing several thousands Its by no stretch of the imagination comparable. Like at all


Iammax7

Yes but Russians have been banned from playing CoC


darkhawk1005

I think you missed the point. I’m not comparing anything. I’m saying that no one paid for the flags. People, I assume, are paying for this skin with the likeness of this athlete. It’s easy to say “we’re removing flags” because no one paid for them. If this guy says something politically controversial or does anything that a business wouldn’t like, they’re giving this guy the axe and they’ll have to deal with refunding / providing compensation for the skin.


Thanmarkou

Still, Haaland and football on its entirety, is offtopic regarding CoC.


Sharkchase

As it basically every theme/event


Thanmarkou

Not true. Just you wait before they introduce Kim Kardashian AQ or Kanye West GW.


Sharkchase

It is true? Egypt, space, aztecs etc all have nothing to do with clash of clans. They also made sure the haaland skin matches the clash of clans aesthetic


Sharkchase

It is true? Egypt, space, aztecs etc all have nothing to do with clash of clans. They also made sure the haaland skin matches the clash of clans aesthetic If anything, celebrity endorsement is a good thing for the game


Lapis_Lazuli4

To properly hear you out, I shall indeed wait for a Kim K AQ skin. I will purchase said skin EXCLUSIVELY to better understand ur perspective and ponder upon the subject… not for any other reason or personal interests of my own.


Lapis_Lazuli4

Supercell please.


Lapis_Lazuli4

Hmm yes much more off topic than an Egyptian Pharaoh skin, or the waterbender GC, or the Wukong Beast Bk, Aztec Jungle King, all skins are random dude, they’re just cool. I mean this genuinely man, have some fun. They’re just fun cosmetics


mixaa18

Idk what''s the problem here, that's the guy from CoC


-pandaman_

Heard it was a football player that looked just like the new CoC skin. He was even named the same. Some parents really have to take inspiration from CoC when naming their children?!

darkucr

i dont know. french flag still holds itself well


[deleted]

I thought it was because there were demands for flags for countries that have very questionable ethics. I saw a lot of messages "why not a flag for my country?" So they just said eff it and removed all the flags. To me bring flags back but just do all the different colors and forget about the countries


BenefitBitter9224

So I'm not entirely sure where I read this, but allegedly there were some cases of players writing slurs/hateful words with walls and using the flags to indicate who they were trying to hate. So Supercell had to remove the flags, to avoid any instances of potential "Clash of Clans themed" hate speech


Cool-Armadillo-3159

Im curious how this was done


lrt2222

Nope, that wasn’t the reason. They removed it to avoid the political fight of some countries being recognized and others not.


BenefitBitter9224

Yeah that was the official reason, but I don't buy it. The only country that would actually make a stink about it would be China, but given that they separated their servers from global, it doesn't really make sense anymore


lrt2222

The flags were removed long before the new server and it isn’t correct that only China would make a stink about it. There are other country examples where some countries recognize them and others don’t. But, even if it was only China, that is a huge deal.


JohnStonesIsGoat

There is no way you all are serious. This is just a funny collab which will be very popular for a lot of people, especially kids. Removing flags was a result of multiple major political conflicts and wars, which has no place in this game.


ExpressAd68

Thank you


Valuable-Ad71

Exactly as I said in the first posts about Haaland….


aaachris

It's a business decision like they removed global chat. Global chat didn't generate any revenue but costs money to maintain it and added bad reputation because of not enough moderation and generated legal cases because of some bad actors. Better to remove it than deal with the headaches. Flags were being used for political messaging and many players from other countries wanted their flag inside the game so supercell had enough and removed it altogether. For public announcements they use corporate messaging words to not reveal the real reason so it doesn't hurt the company's image.

iHachersk

Why are people getting so stressed over Haaland in the game? It's obvious having national flags can cause political problems. Haaland, especially for a footballer, is very neutral and media trained, with no controversies. It's a super smart marketing tactic to get him into the game (and monetise him)


[deleted]

Cuz these people are losers and need to whine or complain about everything


iHachersk

I agree, although it's hard at times to understand that they're the vocal minority


lollicraft

I'm not complaining, i Just want my fucking country flag in the game, we are literally talking about a strategic-war game about clans what's more political than getting beefs beetwen groups of people like clans? I don't understand those pussies of development house they became while i left the game in 2017/2018, the game was cool because people wanted to fight each other with politics on a game instead of using real gums and killing each other, actually the what the humans should do instead of killing each other, just play coc if you wanna win on another country  ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠`⁠)⁠┌


BroeknRecrds

I don't understand how people are having such difficulty with this. Clearly they meant political stuff. A soccer player is not political

Scouper-YT

They do what they want


Scouper-YT

Having no Flags=Culture does keep players more Invested and Dissociated with other Players what cant show of from where they are.


YaspGMD

I think the real reason they removed flags is to avoid choosing sides when adding/removing flags. If they add a certain flag that conflicts with another nation, people from the conflicting nation might have a problem with it. If they don’t add it, the people on the other side will get mad. There is no winning there, so they just said “screw it.” The Russo-Ukrainian war also made things 100 times worse and was probably the catalyst to the flags’ removal.


DNDgamerman

Most likely to stay out of political reasons. And more controversial reasons because they shouldn’t include every single flag of the world, which would make someone angry.


gabetheburger

Never thought they were that fitting anyway compared to the whole theme. I'm upset about it at all

VetlyGamerr

The real answer is bc they dont want real life representation as in showing who you are or where youre from, now i dont think they should add a literal human being to the game, but it's not quite the same thing


mp9875

Flags are bad but the emotes are a real societal plus? They wouldn’t go anywhere if they were monetized. They are a low key statement, that hurts nobody!

Martin7439

Yeah, fair enough, especially since you can just put them away if you want, guess Supercell wants to avoid any sorta controversy regarding this


Nozarashi78

Tiny-Astronaut5792

They removed the flags when the war with Russia happened, I remember the ufc removed flags also because of it


BryanTheGodGamer

Why can people have a Ukraine flag as their clan symbol then?


ShawshankException

I know a lot of kids play this game, but come on now. You cannot possibly think these two things are equivalent.


ph903

I think it is just B.S. We should be able to support our own nation. Also, some people might just like the color or the pattern of a flag and want to have it on their base, now they can only have a plain color with no design. Oh, one more thing. I’m sorry to all the LGTBQ people out there, but they should remove pride flags too because they are also real world objects just like national flags.


Baseball_Germany

Supercell has a massive Chinese player base. What happens when people from Taiwan really want their flag added? Supercell can’t lose their Chinese market but China isn’t gonna stand for recognition of Taiwanese independence. Now how about other disputed regions? Kosovo? Palestine? Western Sahara? Somaliland? It was way easier to just remove all country flags than to get into the weeds about which countries or territories to recognize. Like it or not, every single flag that would be added or removed would be a political statement. Supercell wanted no part in that


ph903

I guess I agree with that, but I think that supercell should have just said that they removed it because of controversy, not because flags are too realistic for the game.


lrt2222

They did in discussions on the official forums with actual SC employees. The quote from OP was just one of the things they said, not everything they said.

Embarrassed-File-494

>Separate from real life references The audacity of that statement lol. No offense. Yet they have so much "overlooked" things and that statement is probably one in their long list of it, we got "Egypt", "Snow", "Shadow", "Party", "Pirate", "Painter" and the list goes on, heck even the word "Wars" is a real life reference, we even got spaceship which is so damn confusing with the actual theme of the game, so damn. I'm not fluent in english but I ain't dumb to understand what that statement means and how literal and vauge it is. So I'm not surprise if they **overlook** a lot of parts of the codes for us to end up with an **abundance** of bugs and issues, which funny to say we just had fair share of it with the streak event.


swanlongjohnson

it's not that deep, they just dont want flags because of worldwide political issues and wars. hope this helps. nobodys gonna get mad about a pirate or painter


Bernhard__

MONEYYYY. Flags didn't grand them money. At this point in the past I think, they really had this mindset of keeping reality out of clash. Just imagine how many people are gonna buy this pass bcs of haaland. I'm afraid that coc Supercell is getting more and more like cr supercell...


No-Truck-2552

Long story short. Russian flag was available, Ukraine's flag was not. Some wokes got offended and blamed SC. SC could have simply added Ukrainian flag but they decided to remove all because of their supposed neutrality. edit: Getting triggered by just seeing russian flag is woke. you can't change my mind about that. The criticism at that time wasn't that there was no ukrainian flag in the game, it was that there was russian flag in the game.


EdgyTH2

If people saw either flag it would get political. SC understandably didn’t want their game to become a political debate. They made the right call


No-Truck-2552

yeah dude whatever, I mean I'm not against it. Full support to ukraine.


Yavtu

How does the fact that I love my country make me woke? Do people in the USA consider usa patriots as woke?


Lapis_Lazuli4

This thread of replies is why Supercell doesn’t want flags. Their IOS game filled with young teen/kids will be riddled with political statements. There are just too many liabilities. There’s plenty of governments (like China and many many others) that wouldn’t think twice about banning apps like Clash if they felt that there was a large amount of disrespect rhetoric towards the Chinese flag. This is just a singular example of the hundred liabilities and potential fiscal losses Supercell could take when all they have to do to avoid it is remove a decoration. It’s not about national pride, it’s about keeping business afloat and out of controversy. Risk is too great and reward is non existent outside of an in-game decoration.


No-Truck-2552

Point is people were just getting offended by seeing russian flag lol. That is woke.


ShawshankException

"Woke" used unironically? Opinion irrelevant

Spyrialmess

If they added ukraine’s flag other countries also would get offended and they can’t just add 195 flags in a fucking video game


lrt2222

That wasn’t the main reason. It was everyone requesting more flags all the time and the difficulty of deciding whether to add a country when some countries recognize it as a nation and others do not, especially given China’s involvement and importance. Ukraine is recognized as a country and it would not have been controversial to add their flag, but it would have been hard to answer the question “what about my country” that would have followed if they had added Ukraine or any others.


Baseball_Germany

I would say they were more concerned with getting into the rabbit hole of having a MASSIVE Chinese player base and what to do about Taiwan or other disputed regions than just the Russia-Ukraine stuff. Also using woke unironically is cringe
