Is it time to redesign the troop selection bar on bottom? Many times i see people forgetting troops or spells because they were off screen....
SC wants us to use multiple troop combos, but, how about improving deployment mechanics?
Why not drop the troop square off when its empty?
Why not allow users rearrange troops based on how they want to deploy them?
Not sure what it would look like, but, what if heroes or spell selections were moved to the right veryically.
Good suggestions. I also wish they'd finally make no troop be selected by default so you don't accidentally attack a base.
All good ideas that have been mentioned before in the Ideas and Feature Requests sub-forum where this should also have been posted.
Please review the sticky notes there for further details about Supercell's standing on these ideas.
I guess my post wasn't a request for enhancement as much as a call for action.Quote:

Besides, I didn't see it in their sticky over there. And, as far as things go, regarding 'fix this, fix that,... Please,' well we know how that goes.
Only wished you knew the number of bruised scalps from players banging their heads on the wall on this issue. It's DOA op! :p From SC,nothing to see here.
We had that same discussion every month or more. Recently, a mod or staff added to the discussion that the ‘vanishing’ tile was tested and worse than sliding them, as players were getting confused more than anything else.
Yet, something still needs to be done.
My opinion was and is still, that players should get the choice to arrange their tiles:
- as they wish in the current one line,
- have 2-3 templates of tile arrangements that fit various screen’s aspect ratios (the wider the more icons, but the less height of screen):
> 1 line as current,
> 2 lines at bottom for higher aspect ratio (iPad, ‘square’ tablets’), since they are narrower/more height.
> 2 columns on either sides for lower aspect ratio (iPX, 8s/9s), since they are wider (sides are less used space)
> 1 line bottom, one line each sides, as alternative.
The above so that most number of tiles, up to 20, fit on any screen.
20 tiles = 3 heroes, 5 spells, 12 troops, which should fit most combos.
Add to it a revamp of the tiles’ size depending on the template.
To me also, a fixed location of tiles is better than a dynamic one (sliding or vanishing when used).
Ps: I will look it up, but the more I think of it, the more I remember Lach or Smolson... maybe I’m wrong about the test.
Edit: this QOL was my latest entry to the dev’s discussions.
PS Irishman: I assume developers arent too bad at the game ;)
If vanishing tiles confused people I doubt they're the kind of player that's good at the game anyway, lol.
I put a comment above in my previous reply.Quote:

There are many ways to fix this. Once again, SC just does not have the capacity to problem solve. They just can't seem to do that.
First off, why do the CC troop have their own square? This is an annoyance, you have the same type of troops in the CC that you usually already have, yet, they are separated because? As an example: I have a Golem and another Golem in my CC, I want to deploy both of them at same time, but I have to select different locations to deploy them. How is that logical? The CC square could be eliminated.
Second, why not make the squares a bit thinner. Even on a phone, if they did that you could still easily pick the ones you want and have more room so all troops are visible.
It's not rocket science.
Indeed, not seemingly rocket science, yet still here.Quote:

Thinner, less tall, ... etc should be feasible, except as an excuse for failed attacks :facepalm:
