Add a place similar to clan message where a leader/co can post a message that is easily see when viewing the war map. The idea is a strategy can be put there instead of clan message or clan chat. Allow it to be edited at anytime as well.

This exists. You can leave notes on every enemy base in war and CWL. Clanmates will see little envelopes next to the bases with notes added
Which in my experience there's a 50% probability it'll be completely ignored.Quote:

What I am asking for is a banner of sorts to post a general message for a strategy.
you can try Clan Mail. I believe it still is in the game. What's the need for other feature with same purposeQuote:

There's no guarantees either will be read. That's part of clan culture which leadership should foster.

Clan mail works, but not exceptionally well. It is limited by one mail per account per hour, and by number of characters. It would be better if were were much less waiting time between messages. I would prefer a large free-text tab, where I can edit the message, the strategy, as the war develops.Quote:

Not 100% sure but I think a free form notice box is ruled out

Yes, I too prepare messages off-line, which is very tedious and part of the problem. It's good with bluestacks, OK on an iPad, and terrible on a phone. The reason that you have to do this is you cannot edit the clan mail, when typing, and least of all after it was sent. This is why a free-text box (like the clan description) would be better.
The very limited ability to communicate to the clan on war strategy is the very reason we, and you it seems, are forced to a very simple strategy that is loath to change from war to war.
We have tried discord. It is great for players who join the discord group, which happens to be everyone who doesn't really need to read the message.
If a free form notice box is ruled out, that is news to me. I haven't seen it pushed for a long time, and SC seemed to respond by adding the war map notes. These notes are good, but make the envelop icon bigger, and add one more for the summary for the whole map please.
How is Co sending clan mail unrelated ? My Co work to the same war plan as me and know the capabilities and attack preference of clan members as well as me. They are capable of directing war plans in my absence and might do this in chat when another members asks for target instructions or they might send a clan mail.Quote:

"A large text area for clan rules that just the clan can see (separate from public clan description)"
Just borrow the magnifying glass from matchmaking.Quote:
