My Clan Wars Idea and More, In the Style of Mastermind

Okay, so I think most people agree that clans have a lot of room for improvement.

I've seen many comments on this, but none that go into very much detail. I decided to do this in the style of Mastermind, because his threads get a lot of participation, and also because... well, let's face it, he's a genius. ;)

This is what I envision:

First, we need co-Leaders. co-leaders will have all of the same privileges as a regular leader, with the exception, of course, of assigning co-leaders:

One leader, plus two co-leaders should be sufficient.

Many people have requested bigger clans, but I don't think that is necessarily the direction to go. Many clans already have other clans that they are associated with. For example, my clan, Exiled Militia, has a feeder clan, Forgotten Exile. We need a way to connect the two clans, in game. I will use my clans as an example of how do do this--The clan leader will search for the clan and invite them into an alliance:

The other clan's leader will get a message in their inbox, with the option to accept or decline the invitation. If accepted, the two clans will become an alliance:

I'll leave it up to Super Cell to decide the maximum number of clans that may be aligned.

One problem that often occurs is that it can be difficult to recruit for a feeder, and when people do join, it can be difficult to keep them. Connecting the clans in an alliance will allow new recruits to see the full potential of the clan they have just joined. Also, by adding an 'Alliance' tab to the chat, all the members of the clans will be able to communicate with each other. Leaders and co-leaders will need the ability to reassign members to other clans within the alliance:

This will allow the "main clan" to recruit all levels of players, and reassign them accordingly. Adding an 'Elder' tab to the chat will allow elders of the entire alliance to communicate, in order to collaborate on trophy pushes, recruiting, reassigning members, etc. Most clans already do this with apps such as Kik, but that is a pain, as it means leaving the game in order to do so, if a second device is not owned:

Notice the new message indicator on the 'Alliance' tab. Adding these indicators to the tabs will keep chat active, encouraging people to participate.

I do believe that we should only be able to donate to and share replays with our own clan--Not the entire alliance. If a member wants better donations, they now have an additional motivation to work toward clan promotion.

What about clan wars though? Some people have given the idea of a community base, which will be designed and maintained by either all members, or a select group... I am against that idea, as I believe the core design of the game should not be changed. The main objective has always been, and should always be, improving your own base, and battling opponents.

When a battle replay is shared, there will be a button visible to only the leader and co-leaders, to declare war:

I considered the option of requiring a specified number of votes in order to declare war, but ultimately, I thought it was a job best left to the leader(s).

Choose carefully, because you may only be at war with one clan at a time.

What does a clan war battle look like? Quite simple--Just like any other battle. If you should choose to battle in a war, the same battle matchmaking that that is used for the rest of the game will be used here, but the pool of opponents in which you will be matched with, consists of all of the members who were in the enemy clan at the time war was declared.

If you are attacked in war, you will have one opportunity to revenge, just like what we currently have in the game. Once both battles have taken place, a winner is determined. The winner is the player who destroys the highest percentage of their opponents base. If they both three star each other, or end up with the same percentage, the loot total will be used to determine a tie-breaker. The loser is eliminated from the war, and the winner may go on, to fight another opponent of the enemy clan:

Once all opponents are eliminated, or a set time limit expires (72 hours?), the war is over.

The participants of the winning clan will be awarded a prize of gems, which will vary, based on the number of trophies won and loot taken in war, and will be awarded based on the participation of the individual. For example, if there are 50 battles, and you win five of them, you will be awarded 10 percent of the prize.

Members who join the clan after war has been declared are not eligible to participate, and anyone who leaves the clan while a war is in progress forfeits their eligibility to participate, or collect winnings.

There can be an icon on the main screen, or elsewhere, that links to the War Battle Log:

And that sums it hope. I hope people like my ideas.

***Edit***

With co-leaders and clan wars a reality, now we just need alliances!

Wrong sub section.

Plus, isn't this ruled out?

I like this idea. The Co-Leader Idea is great. I was going to suggest that myself but someone beat me to it. Co-leader(s) i think should be maxed at 3. Give them the same privledges as the leader with demotion cool down period. Some time you get a elder that needs to be gone and the leader is not around Co-leader should be able to kick them. As for the war it is a good idea, but it should be up to super cell to match clans up fair same trophie counts. Other thrn that i LIKE this idea alot.. :):):):cool::cool::cool:

Great post and images really seem to work well I think. They're never going to give out gems though. Resources as a reward is sufficient.

WOW! Love the ideas!

I followed in Mastermind's footsteps, posting in General. A mod may move the thread if they should see fit.

I do not believe that any part of this idea has been ruled out. Keep in mind however, even if an idea is ruled out, that may not mean that it is ruled out forever. It simply may be that no one could visualize the idea well enough to put it into action.

That is why I included automated match making, rather than choosing who you attack.

I'm fine with that. This is simply an illustration of how it could work. Of course, Super Cell, would decide the details.

I gotta admit, I laughed at that. Nice comeback, but yeah... IFR.

As for the actual idea, I like the whole alliances system quite a bit. The "reassign" button in particular is a nice touch. My only concern here is alliance chat, that feels like a bit much, but I guess it could work well in small-ish alliances.

Clan wars... you have a nice start here, but it still needs some more fleshing out.

Specifically:

• Are there any checks against mismatches? Your lowest player may have attacked their strongest player allowing a war to start. That system for starting a war seems easily exploited.
• Why is it an elimination system instead of some kind of total count? Wouldn't large differences in each sides total members affect this greatly?
• If people aren't eliminated until a revenge has taken place, that opens up plenty of issues. What if a player attacks but intentionally doesn't revenge? What if a player tries and tries to revenge, but never gets the chance? Can the defender attack any other emenies before revenging the first attacker? Can the original attacker still go ahead and attack other enemy members or must they wait until they are revenged?

The elder chat is ruled out but im sure the rest arent.
I like the re-assigning.
I hate kicking people out so they can move.


Sincerely,
TheEmperor

They need to give gems. Other games that I'm not allowed to mention give out gem-like rewards for clan wars, and let's face it: this game doesn't reward skill. If clan wars rewards gems, players will finally be rewarded for winning! And anyway, Supercell won't lose customers. The gems should only be around 50 or something for every battle. Gemmers will still buy, and people who want builders will still buy. At the same time, Supercell will bring more customers in, and renew this dying game.
