The entrapment tower!!!!! Snare your enemies with this overgrowing new defense!!!!!

Yes yes I know.
However, previous threads have been made on TRAPS, not towers.

KEEP IN MIND: No need to nerf hogs if you've got this thing! It'll take care of the afro piggies in no time.

The SNARE TOWER. This tower ensnares your enemies using VINES to wrap the enemy and slow them down.

Unlocked at town hall level 7 or 8. (Maybe six, you guys give me feedback)
The stats listed are for the level 1 tower.

COST TO BUILD: 300,000 gold.
TOWER TYPE: Defensive damage
DAMAGE TYPE: Splash

DESCRIPTION: Enemies will be stumbling to attack you with this new defense! The entrapment tower snares enemy troops with vines, slowing them so they cannot move.

Damage per second: 5 (lvl 1)
Speed/dps decrease: 15% (lvl 1)
Troops affected/targeted: 2 (lvl 1)
Duration of vines: 4 seconds (lvl 1)

DESCRIPTION: Your enemies will be stumbling to attack your village with this new tower! The thrower hurls vine ropes at your enemies to slow them down.

Level 2:
DPS: 6
Speed/dps decrease: 17%
troops affected: 3
duration: 4.5 seconds

Level 3:
DPS: 7
Speed/dps decrease: 20%
troops affected: 4
duration: 5 seconds

SO. let me know what you think. If it's too underpowered tell me. Remember that this tower deals damage in addition to slowing down troops, and deals splash damage. More stats for upgraded levels will be up soon. Thanks for taking the time to read this!!!!

I like the idea, but I feel it's a little under powered. Even though it's level one it only does 9 damage, which isn't very substantial.

Will change slightly. Remember that dps is damage per second. Multiple 9 dps by the number of seconds the attack lasts and you have the full damage done to EACH TROOP AFFECTED. So in all, at level 1, 28 damage is being done to 3 troops, in addition to the fact that they are slowed in Speed and attack strength.

But you get the 9 from multiplying the 3dps by the 3 seconds. How did you get the 28? Oh and I think it should be unlocked at TH 7.

Okay. Have adjusted stats so it now is 8 dps at a duration of 4 seconds

Okay, that's better.

I think it sounds like it could be cool, probably should have a fairly short range, and no dps at all though. The slow effect is powerful enough without any dps at all, and would increase with each upgrade of the tower. As powerful of an effect as this is, it should probably be released at TH9, 10, or 11.

I love this idea but i would say th 8 for this or maybe even 9 i think it may be op if it is under 7 but great idea :)
Can you please do maybe levels 2 and 3 for this so i can just see your ideas for the upgrades?

It's ok. I was just confused.

I believe this could be the counter-act for hog rider attacks for th8 and th9. +1

I didn't think about that, but hey: It makes my idea look better!

(Maybe and a load cost to keep vines growing) No. This is like a wizard tower. You don't reload a wizard tower. It's not intended to be an x-bow or an inferno tower.

DESCRIPTION: Your enemies will be stumbling to attack your village with this new tower! The thrower hurls vine ropes at your enemies to slow them down.
(Mossy ground vines way better) Graphics are unimportant. Also, making vines grow from the ground seems too 'magic' and along the lines of a certain other game...

Level 2:
DPS: 6
Speed/dps decrease: 17%
troops affected: 3
duration: 4.5 seconds
(Load cost?) A suggestion will do nothing if you don't give me stats to put in.

Level 3:
DPS: 7
Speed/dps decrease: 20%
troops affected: 4
duration: 5 seconds
(Load cost?) Same as above.

Just a couple things on this idea and the above response post you gave...
First the response post:
The idea that was posted was not regarding the graphics as you are implying with your bolded comment... I think the persons real point was what I marked in red. That is would not be a slowing effect, but a stationary effect. Then remove the DPS as if the enemies are stationary, the cannons, mortars, and other defenses can simply deal out the damage... I kind of like their idea better because from a damage perspective, if you couple your idea and the defenses on a base with the tower, it might be over powered.
For example: Your tower gives out 8 DPS right? Then the cannons are giving out 8 DPS... Wizards give out 8 DPS... Suddenly all hogs are dead within the 4 seconds you have them snared...

Now my question on your idea:
I ask this question because it is not covered in your idea and maybe you need to think about it, or maybe you want it to be something of a mega powerful defense. Not sure...
How many troops max will it ensnare? If it is an AoE attack, then will it ensnare all troops?
Example: Let's say it is a 10 tile diameter defense. 10 troops go in and 10 troops are snared? 30 troops snared? Or will it snare 10% of the troops while others escape it?

You get my point...

If you look at the original post, you'll see a stat that is labeled as 'Number of troops affected/targeted'. This is the number of troops that it will snare per level per attack.

Okay: If I got rid of the DPS for this tower, would that be good? If I take away the DPS for this tower, than the other defenses can deal with it while the tower traps them.

The big thing with this is that it will prevent hog riders from jumping. Nothing can move when ensnared.

Ah! I guess when I first read it, I missed the troops affected part. I even double read it but still overlooked it! Wow. Think I need to get my eyes checked... :p:p:p

Well, this is your idea... Your choice. I think it would be a good idea to put up a poll with the two options. Something like:

Which effect would be better?

1. Slow troops and do DPS (damage will be done by the tower, cannons, and mortars)
2. Stop troops and let other defenses do the damage

Personally, I like both options, but number 2 makes a player think about the best placement to be effective... The first one does the same, but I think I might be lazy about it...

Maybe... I like the idea though! So it is on the right track.

Interesting idea! Maybe there could be an option to make it appear as a regular tree obstacle so you could place it outside your base to allow it to have a sneaky approach

Thanks for the support!
The idea of disguising traps/defenses is in the sticky already. (Not ruled out, but suggested/on the table.)

Seems as though you and I have quite a few similarities, but two somewhat different towers.

Yours is weaker but unlocked earlier/cheaper. It has a similar multi-target idea as the inferno tower. I also wonder about how either of our ideas would work against rage spells. Also does your tower affect Flying troops or no?

The tower does affect flying troops, but only slows them down instead of stopping them completely.

Interesting, my idea doesn't affect flying troops, but then again most flying troops are slow to begin with (with the exception of Minions)

And the Entrapment tower stops the troops completely for a few seconds? Interesting Idea!

Yeah.
I used to have the stats so that damage was done to troops that were ensnared, but someone pointed out to me that placing the tower in the core would be OP, as it would allow the defenses to attack the ensnared troops all at once. Discos and wizard towers combined with this tower would be deadly enough, which is why I've reduced dps for this tower.

I agree, considering everything that SuperCell has added in (Disco towers/multi-target and such) this would make things extremely difficult for attackers. My only thing would be that this shouldn't be offered at levels 7 or below, and possibly not even lvl 8.
SuperCell is trying new ways to add in content for high level players so that they can keep playing/paying money, I like the idea of this tower and it's not over powered at all which is nice, just saying they probably wouldn't add in something like this for lower lvl players.

You're probably right, but if this were implemented at lower level town halls, it would prevent complaints about higher levels dropping to sub- 1000 and raiding with hogs and dragons.

But what do you think about the idea?

I think that should act like a mortar, like enemy forces would be able to out run this defense only to be vulnerable while destroying buildings at a enemies base like it should only hit hogs while they stop to destroy defences.

I think it should be slightly exponential in its growth. That way, it would end up having enough damage to get close to killing a lvl 6 barb or something like that

I like the idea. I think it should cost maybe, 500k gold, and unlocked at town hall 7.

good idea but like he said, underpowered

hahahahaha I like your voting pole "Mr T"

I would change 'afro piggies' to something else, some may perceive this as racist and/or insulting.

I'm sure that people will find it insulting now that you've pointed it out

I think that since it should deal with the hogs, I think it should be unlocked at Town Hall 8, from my experience, didn't have to really deal with hogs much until Town Hall 8

How much range would it have and how large would the building be? Also would the slowing effect be stackable? But overall a good idea.
