So what if they had a map, with your village in the middle and other things such as: mountains,forests, icy hills and a death forest.
you could colonize this places by battling, once you defeated the defenses its like a second village.
you could only make resource buildings and defense buildings(no barbarian king and archer queen though)
Each place also adds a boost to your resource collecting: mountain=more gold , forests=more elixir , death forest=more dark elixir. the icy hills adds more loot bonus in battle.
so this is my idea, thanks for reading it.
if i come up with more specific ideas , i will edit it
ps: i know my english is bad
