Tower Line of Sight

So, basically, this has to do with helping attackers, hindering defenders, and tidying up those villages! The idea is this. Each of those automatically spawning trees, mushrooms, rocks, and stumps should have three stats: blocks line of sight (yes or no), defensive cover, and finally, removal cost. The removal cost shall stay the same as it already is in-game. Why ruin a good thing? Blocks line of sight and defensive cover are passive stats that aid raiders.

Blocks Line of Sight- If said item blocks line of sight, archer towers, cannons, heroes, and x-bows can't target anything behind them at whatever angle the tower is to the object. Mortars, wizard towers, and inferno towers however, can target troops where line of sight is blocked. Once troops move out from behind the object blocking line of sight, everything can target them.

Defensive Cover- certain items will be assigned a coverage bonus, so that raiding troops within a 1 tile radius of them get a small percentage of damage taken off incoming attacks.

Item	Blocks Line of Sight	% Defensive Cover
Tree	Yes	5%
Big Tree	Yes	7%
Pine Tree	Yes	7%
Trunk	Yes	3%
Fallen log	No	2%
Stone(all small)	No	5%
Stone(Big)	Yes	10%
Stone Pillar	Yes	7%
Mushrooms	No	1%
Bush	No	1%
Tombstone	No	3%

Attack is easy enough as is it

This encourages players to be active (to clear tombstones), and encourages them to clear obstacles (trees, stones, etc.). The attack bonus encourages the aforementioned points, and helps out young players, or players at the bottom of their league. The line of sight also adds a new level of strategy to raiding.

I have the perimeter of my base lined with bushes, I don't want them to help the attacker! :(

Unless this idea is incorporated into the game, they won't, but if it is you had better clear those bushes!

This is a horrible idea. Think about it

Abondoned bases will now become ridiculously hard to raid

First off, you don't know the definition of an abandoned base according to the Clash of Clans wiki. Bases are considered "abandoned" after 50 hrs of inactivity. (the amt of time it takes to fill lvl 11 gold and elixir producers). Second, this idea helps attackers, NOT defenders. So "abandoned" bases, as you say, would be easier (though not ridiculously so) to raid. Please read next time, it makes life easier...

Kinda hopin to get more voters in the poll....

I haven't played for three days and I haven't abandoned my base. Just because I have a life doesn't mean that I don't play CoC anymore.

Why bump old posts?

Don't bump old threads

That's the wiki's definition of an abandoned base, not mine. I go for long spells of not playing too. This just makes the game more realistic and in my opinion, more challenging and more fun.

To keep them alive and get new input in the poll. If it's not a poll tho, there is really no point.

Please do not bump posts. It is against forum rules and is very annoying.

I'm answering comments, not bumping. It's called thread upkeep. You should try it.

I'm not, I think that the cover provided by the obstacles will make raiding more interesting, as troops are harder to kill. I also like the realistic qualities of this idea. Real medieval and even modern bases have a kill zone around them that are obstruction-free.

I didn't realize that's what u were referring to. For the vast majority of my comments, I am answering questions, not bumping.
