Some words about guessing whether or not a Clan Castle has troops:
 * Active players may voluntarily choose not to request troops, or have their Clan Castle set to sleep (to save reinforcement troops for war, for example).
 * "Many tombstones" usually come in one of two cases:
 * Abandoned bases, which will usually not have Clan Castle troops
 * If you see a cluster of tombstones far out from the base, it is likely that a previous attacker attempted to destroy enemy Clan Castle troops. It is possible that they may have been successful but sometimes the Clan Castle troops (especially very powerful ones) at low levels may win instead.
 * Players with no clan may still have Clan Castle troops particularly if they only recently left their previous clan.

Extra: If you manage to destroy Clan Castle with Lightning/Earthquake/any combination of spells, without letting any of your troops trigger it, the Clan Castle will not deploy any of its troops if they have any. The defender won't lose them, but you won't have to face them
