Article: . It isn't advised that you start a new clan unless you're already fairly advanced, level 40 or so. If you aren't, almost no one will want to join, and you might be hassled and made fun of. This is an unfortunate part of that community, but you can get around the cyberbullying by joining another clan to get started and build your status. Once you've learned the ropes and become a fairly skilled player, start your own clan and plot your domination and execute it. One rule of thumb is that a clan should be created at Town Hall level 6 or 7. This is because if you are a clan leader, you must look powerful with your defenses, displaying large stores of mortars and other supplies. In Town Hall level 6 and 7, a lot of new things like Barbarian King are unlocked, making you more powerful, and a more attractive leader. There are three basic types of clans — Hardcore, Farming, and Casual clans. Planning your clan and attracting members for your new clan will be much easier if you have some plan for how you'll run things and your general strategy.  A Hardcore clan, better known as a Trophy Pushing clan, is constructed around the idea of constantly warring. They mostly always have wars that go from back to back, and usually never stop, so be prepared to invest precious time. Farming clans are basically the opposite of hardcore. Farming clans rarely have wars and "just like the name suggests" they farm. The only point in joining a farming clan is to get high-level troops for your farming. A Casual or a Hybrid clan is basically just a combination of the two, warring usually but not always and, farming a lot on your off time. In order to get new members in your clan, you should come up with a clan name which will attract people and make them want to join yours above all others, when new members are searching for clans to join. Unique clan names will be the only name that comes up when someone's searching for a specific term, making it critical that you avoid cliches or common types of clan names.  Try to come up with something fresh and exciting, and avoid boring clan names like "The Clash Clan" or "The Great Clan" or "We Do War." No thanks. Look at the most popular clan names and come up with very different types of names, names that sound like rad raider clans from the Viking days. Try out something awesome and specific, like "Witchsmoke" or "Dragon Eye." "Green Valkyrie"? Now you're talking. Try to give a symbol that goes with the clan name. For example, if your clan name is Fireworks Ahead, give a red background and orange strips. Be sure that your symbol is memorable and striking so that people will recognize it in an instant. A great symbol can do a lot to attract new members and strike fear into the hearts of your enemies. Take a while to write up a friendly bio of your clan, one that states what you clan is about. For example, if you want to be a trophy hunting clan put that in your bio. If you want to start a friendly or a farming clan, put that in your bio. There should be enough of substance in your description that prospective members will have something to grab onto, but not so long and involved that you might turn off casual members. Some players elect to include their clan rules in the description, while others choose to make that available later with individual clan members. Whatever you choose to do, it's up to you. You're the leader!
