Maybe donation queue troops can't be refunded.

Don't get me wrong, love the idea, just need to discuss and refine it. Also would you extend this to spells as well or lock it to just troops?

definitely agree on the no refund part so that it does not get exploited in any way.
and yes your ideas are much appreciated.
could have a queue for spell donation too. i never considered it as i always have a poison to donate but it certainly would be useful too.

4: when people join, get them to agree to "give and take, not give and take loads"; keep and eye and warn those who do

I have been in clans where these rules have been used and its promoted activity within the clan. However, I personally prefer donating 30k+ a season to clans who dont have quotas.

thank you for your suggestions. i dont really mind donating anything be it dark or elixir troops.
we have a rule of 1:1 donations to give what you take. so it really doesnt matter what they give or receive.
i request giants all the time so almost everyone has them and so my requests get filled instantly. but when it comes to these type of troops no one really has them and so they remain unattended. (they still continue to request them anywayXD)

personally i think having this feature would encourage people more to donate and build team spirit as they do not have to mess up their sessions.

Our clan likes to give everyone the freedom to request what they like to use, or that's useful to their army comp. Also OP idea doesn't just pertain to raiding donations, it'd be nice to precook war troops (or specialty troops for raids) and have on standby for when war kicks off.


I think you would need to do spells especially since town hall 11 got the upgraded storage on their CC.

The people in your clan need to understand which troops others use and which requests will likely take a while to get filled. A generic "Any" or "Air/Group Only" request should be filled very quickly. A more specific request of "MAX Golem" or "Witches Only" will take longer. You need to make sure the people in your clan realize that if the request is too specific it'll take longer to fill.

That said war requests should be specific and for the highest level troops the clan can offer. And for me war requests always trump normal farming requests (although having a donating account really helps in these situations).

This is a good idea. As for the raiding problem, you can make the donation troops non-refundable, or maybe subject to capture?

I was thinking about this today, and am really glad that I'm not alone on this. I think I have a bit of a unique approach though, so ... here's my idea on this:

1. Clan member posts request.
   
   1. Instead of just typing text, they select the exact troops they want to request (i.e.: select 35 Archers)
   2. They could also do standard text request as is done now (Barb or Archers, please)
   
   
2. No matter what is done, other clan members can choose to Build & Fill or Fill from existing troops in the camps.
3. If a clan member is filling from camps; it's the same experience as it is now.
4. If a clan member is building and filling, and Option 1.1 was used:
   
   1. He/she selects Build & Fill and his/her barracks will start producing troops.
   2. When complete, troops skip the camp and march off screen; going directly to the clan castle that's to be filled.
   3. The entire clan sees greyed out donations with a timer showing a pending fill is in progress.
   4. If the member filling the request is already building an army, the queued fills go after his/her army; to stick with the FIFO queue system.
   
   
5. If a clan member is building and filling, and Option 1.2 was used:
   
   1. He/she selects the troops he/she wants to donate.
   2. When complete, troops skip the camp and march off screen; going directly to the clan castle that's to be filled.
   3. The entire clan sees greyed out donations with a timer showing a pending fill is in progress.
   4. If the member filling the request is already building an army, the queued fills go after his/her army; to stick with the FIFO queue system.
   
   
6. Another clan member can intervene, choosing to donate his/her 35 archers that he/she has ready in his/her camps.
   
   1. This will trump the in-progress queue; cancelling it for the other clan member that was filling it.
   
   
7. Another clan member can assist, to also queue and start building archers as well.
   
   1. This will help the queue process faster; meaning the recipients will get their troops twice as fast. This would not actually increase build times per troop; just increase the number of workers processing the queue.
   2. When the entire queue is filled, the remaining queue is cancelled for all fillers.

I know I didn't make it clear, but the exact same thing would apply for the potion donation.

Also, this could easily be applied to multiple requests. The entire clan can easily see how long before the requestor gets their donations; allowing other members to assist on queues with longer wait times.

This system should prevent exploits because no one is storing surplus troops. They're simply being built and sent automatically. It's already programatically supported because if my army camps are full, and I have a troop that's done being built, but just waiting on space in the camps ... I can donate that troop; skipping my army camps.
