Clan Capital and Raid Weekends
Mechanics
Updated: 18 September 2026 · By the Goblins Farm team
The Clan Capital is a separate, collectively owned village made of districts, funded by capital gold that every member contributes. Raid Weekends are the attack mode built on top of it, and they run on rules that are unlike anything else in the game.
Capital gold and contribution
Capital gold is earned separately from your village economy and can only be spent on the Clan Capital. You cannot convert village gold into capital gold or the other way round, which means capital progress is genuinely a collective effort rather than something one rich member can carry.
Members contribute capital gold to specific upgrades, and upgrades complete when enough has been contributed. Two things worth knowing:
- Contribute where leadership asks. Spreading contributions across every building at once means nothing finishes. Most clans nominate a target.
- Do not sit on capital gold. It has no other use. Hoarding it helps nobody, including you.
How Raid Weekend attacks work
Raid Weekends run on rules that catch out everyone who assumes they work like village attacks:
- Damage carries over. If your attack does not finish a district but destroys most of it, the destruction persists for the next attacker. Attacks are cumulative, not independent.
- Troops do not return. You get a limited number of attacks, and each one uses one of them regardless of how it goes.
- Districts unlock in sequence. You must clear one district to reach the next, so the clan works through the enemy capital in order.
- Everything is shared. Your attacks feed a clan-wide result, and the clan's total performance decides the reward.
The carry-over rule is the important one strategically. A partial attack is not a wasted attack; it is groundwork. Clans coordinate by sending strong attackers to open a district and everyone else to finish it.
Raid medals
Raid medals are awarded based on the clan's raid performance and your own participation, and are spent in a shop that typically includes resources, boosts and items relevant to hero and research progress.
The same principle as league medals applies: buy time, not resources. A shop item that shortens a hero upgrade is worth considerably more than the equivalent in gold, because gold is the thing you can always go and get.
The practical advice for members is simply to use every raid attack, every weekend. Raid medals are one of the steadiest reward streams in the game and they cost you nothing but a few minutes.
Frequently asked
Can I convert capital gold into normal gold?
No. Capital gold is a separate currency that can only be spent on Clan Capital upgrades, and village resources cannot be converted into it either. That separation is deliberate, so capital progress reflects collective participation rather than one wealthy member.
Does damage carry over between Raid Weekend attacks?
Yes, and this is the most important rule in the mode. Destruction persists for the next attacker, so a partial attack is groundwork rather than a failure. Clans coordinate by having strong attackers open a district and others finish it.
What should I buy with raid medals?
Items that shorten upgrade and research timers, rather than raw resources. Resources can be farmed at any time; the timers on heroes and laboratory research are the real constraint on progress.
