Defence penalty for town hall loss

People (including me) sacrifice their TH to get their shield up. The penalty of loosing 1000 elixer and gold is worth it.

Make the penalty higher. I think the village would loose heart if the TH fell, so I think defensive fire power should drop when the TH falls. I think you would need to test the drop %, but I think maybe 1/3 or 1/2 would be worth looking at.

In response to the fair question of 'why'.
Because I think:
- it isn't very realistic, no village would sacrifice the TH normally.
- the game designers didn't intended this to occur.
- people use it to hide from genuine attacks.
- it allows people to rise in trophy ranks too easily by picking off THs with a few troops.
- it would open up the game more.
- it would remove elements where people are gaming the game, which I don't really like.

TH outside protects resources better. Having a major loss if the TH is destroyed will completely ruin farming; people will constantly raid you for resources and leave you battered. This idea will destroy farming completely.

I don't think it would completely kill farming but maybe you and I (and a whole lot of other people) would need to reinvent our strategies.

Change just brings on new challenges.

How about making raiding profitable at high level so people are encouraged to raid...

The TH loot penalty needs to go and be replaced by a league bonus (higher league = more risk but more reward)

The problem with farming is that it is necessary to progress because you are penalized for progressing in this game. People expose their TH because getting resources is pretty much limited to what your mines can produce.

My responses to this:
1) This game isn't very realistic honestly. If it was defenses like wizard towers and troop like dragons wouldn't exist.
2) It's strategy. I hope you realise discoveries are always made where game designers never intended.
3) Maybe.
4) If you played CoC as long as I have, you'll learn trophies basically mean nothing.
5) I personally think it would close down the game more.
6) What?

If this idea was actually implemented SC would have to make a lot of changes to the game.

I'm farming in gold III right now and it is very rare that a person does not do a full out attack on me with my town hall outside, increasing the penalty for losing your town hall would cause a lot of people to rage quit. And who cares about trophies anyway, it's not like they mean anything
