A guided troop, new warp defense, and fusing some buildings.

Hey yo.

So i havent seen these ideas in the 'refused' idea pile or otherwise, but apologies if they have already been discussed.

1st - A new troop (i envision a ninja) that once placed will only move in the path that you set for it. Eg, once troop is dropped you draw a line through the base and it will follow that line attacking everything on that line.

2nd - either a pitfall defence, or warp gate of sorts. You build an entry point and an exit point, and any troop that gets too close to the entrance gets shunted out the other side. Can strategically place the exit point surrounded by massive defences, or in the corner of your base to seperate the army etc. the catch is, both points look the same so you arent sure which is which.

3rd - allowing a fusion function to be used could be pretty neat. Example, you could fuse your air defense with a mortar, so it is essentially both buildings occupying a single 3x3 space. The fusion process is irreversable unless you use, lets say, an equivalent to a shovel of obstacles. And upgrades still have to be carried out seperately, such as upgrading the mortar half first and the air defense half second. These new fusions could cause a lot of debate as to which combinations are the most useful. And with a potential limited amount of fusing, careful planning would have to go into which ones you want.

#1 I will always be against a guided / manual targeting troop feature. That's way too powerful. Base building is such a huge part of the game, as is learning how to funnel your troops. Something like this would make all of that basically irrelevant. Aside from that, I guarantee that once we can manually target one troop, people will start whining that we get it with all troops.

#2 How close is "too close?" Does it only activate once, or is it continuous? What happens when the exit portal is destroyed?

#3 Pretty sure this is on the ruled out ideas sticky.

Thats fair, but in my mind it would just be the perk of using that particular troop, such as, we dont get complaints that every troop should jump walls like hogs right? Other troops can be made to jump like hogs with a jump spell, respectively, other troops can be made to go where you want with good funneling. This troop just takes it a step further at the cost of lets say, high storage space. This troop wouldnt be game breaking i feel unless you made it as such. By giving it ridiculous Hp and dps. If they had the hp of a goblin, and storage space of a pekka, they would be all but useless you feel me? Haha. Wouldnt be impossible to strike an acceptable balance. In regards to base building, that could be an issue yeah.

as for number 2, i would leave those finer details for the creative minds on supercells team to decide what is perfectly balanced and not too overpowered. The distance for activation would be whatever makes sense. In my mind, melee contact range works. And yeah i did figure it would be continuous, but shut down if the exit portal was destroyed.

In regards to 3, my mistake i must have missed it. Thank you for your feedback :)
