Pop-Up Walls! A unique trap

First of all, I didn't think of this myself. I saw the general idea in another thread with about 9 other suggestions and since the grammar is sloppy and the thread is long, I figured few people would get around to reading it. But I do think it is a great idea. Now...

Unlocked at TH 8, these walls at first seem like ordinary walls. They cost the same, look the same (actually, these will have to look different so you can differentiate between the two types, just haven't thought of it yet), and have the same upgrades. But! They aren't just walls, they're pop-up walls! ​ The deal is, just like traps, they are invisible to the enemy until they get within one tile of them, and all of a sudden they pop out of the ground! Troops wouldn't know they are there just like you, so if there is a cannon just inside a row of pop-up walls they'll try to go get it, only to be stopped! Wallbreakers will not target them until they appear, of course, and all that...

You unlock 10 at TH 8, another 10 at TH 9, and finally 5 more at TH 10.
Unlike damage-dealing traps, these do not need to be re-armed, like regular walls.

I think these walls would make base designs even more interesting and add some surprise and strategy to the game.
What do you think?

IMO, this is one of the few good ideas that come out of this Sub-Forum. It would add so much more strategy to the game. This would be a pretty interesting idea to have, and would spice up base design a great deal.

it would be too obvious to guess where thes walls are.

not if you are sneaky! If you don't it it has any value, it might as well get added and not harm anything. It's actually great and slightly balances defense vs offense

Not really. Most people would spot it as funneling.

Sweet idea +1 from me

No more than Hidden Teslas...

I think this is a ridiculously cool idea.
But for the sake of balancement and playability in all styles of the game. I just can't see it being a good idea.
It would be brilliant for lower levels of game play. I can't see it really effecting much of the 2700+ trophy range, as their bases aren't set up for that kind of thing. It's only going to really affect farmers, and 1800-2400(ish) trophy range in my opinion.

It's just going to make farming, other active players harder. Which can be particularly hard trying to find a person with a decent amount of resources anyway. Let alone the strength of their defences.

To be honest I love the idea, it could make base designs much more important, and would improve mid level trophy gameplay. But, on the downside defence would become a lot better for just mid level game play.

I think I'm sitting on the fence.
I would love to see the idea come into the game, but I can see it being a love/hate relationship.

I actually like this idea! +1 from me!

So you're saying it's a really good idea but defenses are already strong enough, loot is already difficult enough to gain?
I see what you mean there, completely understandable.

Love this idea, however I think you should have to rearm a wall if it is destroyed.

Awesome idea! I would love to see this implemented, although I think they should pop out farther than just 1 tile away.

I thought about that too, but I decided it wouldn't be a good idea because since they upgrade like regular walls... would you want to spend gold on building a wall over and over again? Walls are just too expensive for that, and also, they don't explode or anything like bombs, so it isn't like it would be consumed after being triggered.

This is a very cool idea. I think that if you put some inside a base, the attacker would see a non-segmented part of the base, like where all of the loot is in one compartment but it is really not :D. Since traps now have to be re-armed, I think that these wall should have to be re-armed as well.

A certifiable idea, good sir!

Sincerely,
TheEmperor

Stamps the seal of approval

people who say it is easy to "spot" i agree since if you see a opening in the wall chances are there are popup walls there to obvious unless you are really good at camouflaging it

I love this idea! Plus supercell loves wall (because $$$) would be nice for some invisible barriers between defenses. Will be easy to spot if people use improperly, but both ways adds an interesting new tactic to the game

I would love this to be implemented, I don't think they should have to be re armed or I wouldn't use them, 500k for a trap is a little excessive. I don't think they would be easily spotted because it seems like the new trend is bases that are spread out into smaller bunkers. By the addition of these, it would most certainly add a whole other way of making bases that we really need.

Again, I would love this!

I really like this idea as it would add so much more planning to bases. I've seen lots of people just spam TONS of Wallbreakers at my base, and some of it make it through. However one potential problem I do see is that will the wall still take up the space in which troops will be placed? Because if so, that would be kind a problem. If you don't understand what I mean, look at a wall. You cannot place any troops within a radius like
VVV

Would that still apply? Nice idea though +1

Interesting point! I'm not sure how that would work. If they did take up space for troops' deployment, the walls would be a lot easier to spot, severely limiting their use. If they didn't, well, what would be the use? For them to come up after the troops have gotten through?

I didn't think about this at all. Anyone got suggestions for this?

Maybe it should be a certain percentage based on wall level. Such as...
Lvl 11- 1% (40,000)
Lvl 10- 1% (30,000)
Lvl 9-2% (20,000)
Lvl 8- 2.5% (12,500)
Lvl 7- 5% (10,000)
Lvl 6- 10% (7,500)
etc.

First of all, love the idea. As for this problem, it should probably be kept as a trap and have no spawn push back, so it would be cool if it acted as a spring trap (Pop up) when troops are spawned on it, the walls would come up and the troops get flung off.
