This is a decent idea but it would have to have a huge cooldown and could lead to many glitches
Lol why would we give builders to clan mates? Haha
This would easily be exploited by people with two accounts. They would just use all the builders on one account
It would be nice but it's part of what make the game challenging. I guess some things are the way they are to keep it challenging and not to mention how badly exploited this would be.
really not diggin the idea
No just NO.first of all the builder is part of ur village and they will stay there forever unlike troops which will be gone sooner or later,so its basically like lending ur barracks to them
No No
Nah, alright but not great
Acquiring all builders is a must, your idea is ok but NO. Others have worked hard doing their achievements or bought gems, I suggest you do the same like us.
I'd do that because all of my 5 are sleeping..Quote:

In the beginning of a new townhall you use all your builders, and could have use for plenty more. The more upgraded everything gets, the upgrade cost increases, and usually you dont use more than 2-3 builders at the same time. 1-2 builders "sleep" from time to time and could be of good use somewhere else in your clan until you need them again.
So here is one way how it could work:
Implement a "builder-pool" where you leave one or more of your sleepy builders. The "pool builder" can then work where its needed. As soon as you need it again, it automatically leaves its construction and comes back to you. A new builder from the "pool" takes its place and continue the work. If no other pool builder is available, the construction is put on hold. The construction can be finished by a regular builder, or another pool builder, later on. The cost for starting a construction, using a pool builder, is the same as for a regular builder.
While being in the pool, working elsewhere, your builder works at 50% normal speed. The reduced speed could be gemmed up to 100% by the one using it. The gem bit would also let SC gain on it.
If you've gemmed a pool builder that leaves, and no other pool builder immediately takes its place - you get your unused gems back.
Your stats will keep track of how much you've contributed to the clans pool and how much you've used it. Good to know for leader/elders.
The ones in the clan who have used the pool least, will have automatic priority before others who have used it more.
You must have been in a clan for 2 weeks (one cycle) before you can start to use the pool. That will hopefully strenghten the clan and reduce clan hopping.
You can decide whether or not you want any of your builders to participate in the pool, and you have to have at least one construction going on at your own base to be able to lend out one or more builders to the pool. This will minimize dead accounts with active pool builders.
And you can only use the pool if all your regular builders' busy.
So, what do you think? :)
I like the idea of a builder pool. That's neat. I understand that people could easily take advantage of this, but people also take advantage of the troop donations, don't they? And when they do that, we just stop donating to them. It could be the same with this. And, as someone suggested, it could have a big cool-down time.
I could be wrong, but it seems that the only way we can help each other in the clan is by donating troops. (Except for the advice we give) I was just thinking it would be nice if we could help each other grow our villages. Obviously, some think I only came up with this idea because I want others to help me. Sorry, you're mistaken. I'm in a clan of 45 and I'm the top donator. I've done most of my achievements and gotten the gems. ;) As you get higher, upgrades take forever and cost a bunch of money. I certainly wouldn't mind helping someone out while I get money for an upgrade. It's better than seeing that little builder hut with zzz's coming out of it.
Thanks everyone for the constructive comments!
Or maybe if a clan mate wants to borrow a builder they have to pay something to use it. Like troops or gold/ elixir
So I can create 10 accounts and get 3 builders on each and have 35 builders on my main account?
Sounds good.
I think sc set max builders at 5 for a reason.
The more builders you get, the faster you can upgrade.
Especially for those who make 8~13mil a day.
The faster you upgrade, the less they profit.
Waiting is part of the game.
Pretty much sums my thoughs of this up as well...Quote:

Well, why do people give away troops, and give advices to each other? I think this would strenghten a clan further more.Quote:
