Debug Font#

A Debug font located in assets\font\debug.png and assets\font\debug.fnt. This appears in every Supercell game.

RED Gems Offer#

Between November 24th and December 8th of 2014 and 2015, iOS users were able to purchase a special gem bundle to contribute to AIDS research. When they did, they received a red shield on their Town Hall. The bundle is still present in the game, albeit disabled, along with the red shield graphics.

Test Localizations#

Inside locales.csv, there are several unused languages, probably used for UI testing : Quad String, DoubleDouble String, Double String, Test Language, Empty Texts, Longest Word, Longest Text. The last one has a link to this site, presumably used for testing as well.

Unused Loading Screen Hints#

The following hints are currently visible to players with a Town Hall level of 999+, which is impossible to achieve in the game, therefore they are unused. They are stored in hints.csv.

Join the Clash of Clans Forums! Look in Settings - More.

You can't change the name of your village. Your villagers wouldn't know where they live!

Since name changes are now possible, this second hint doesn't make sense anymore.

Debug Menu#

Puzzle and Dragons#

This was used when Clash of Clans collaborated with Puzzle and Dragons to add exclusive troops in a limited time event. There is a file called promo_puzzle_and_dragons.sc in the game. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of interesting things in it:

Dummy Files#

To do:
List where are those dummy files. They are everywhereǃ
