Engineer

I have a fantastic idea for a troop.
-would be one of the five un made dark troops
-would be fairly expensive in Dark elixer terms say 50 dark elixer for a level 1
-wouldn't take long to produce
-Would look someone like a large rat and would be equipped with a electricians tool belt, a flashlight and a construction hat
-would change from light grey coloring with yellow belt, flashlight and hat to darker grey almost black with burgundy belt, flashlight and hat
-would be extremely fast and fairly weak
-only harmed by cannons or traps like bombs or spring traps excluding teslas
-troops wont attack defenses, resource buildings, town halls, clan castles, or any other buildings
-the sole purpose of this troop would be to seek out hidden traps and set them off...which would in turn kill them
-one "Engineer" can set off one trap no matter if it is in range of multiple traps. Perhaps with a higher level "Engineer" it could set off more than one if in range.
-can tunnel under walls instead of hopping over so to get to traps on the other sides of walls
-troop would immediatly die and turn to a dark elixer grave if all traps were set off
-would only take up 1 space in an army camp

Those are my ideas for the "Engineer" troop ive thought up.

I'm not sure about everyone else but traps have ruined several of my raids by flinging multiple giants or wizards off the map, Blowing up masses of my minions or blowing up huge clouds of my barbs and archers.

Also several defensive victories ive had can be credited to the strategic placement of traps.

I know id be willing to pay the price of precious dark elixer on a free of my little "Engineer" Rats hahahah and I'm sure server all of you would agree with me 100%!

I like this.

I think there could be a few tweaks to make this better/more feasible.

It takes a long time to seek out traps. (It gets faster when you upgrade it)

AND

Takes up 3 spaces in the army camp.

Other than that it sounds pretty good.

that is why u test for traps with one barbarian so my my answer is they will ruin traps which can ruin funnelling and as a base designer that will ruin half the bases out there

If a trap should define how good a base is then that base isn't note worthy in my book. Although I use the barb testing on the regular... However its hard to barb test for giants once they've pushed into the center of a base and then "boing" a large group of your giants that have packed together are GONE. This troop would be for that purpose. Note the tunnel under wall clause. And to the first responder I agree maybe a little op how i originally posted it.

Many of the best bases are amazing not due to how strong traps are but to how well there placed personally I would stop designing bases

Too modern for the theme of the game, it also defeats the purpose of traps.

That is why the cost would be exceptionally high for these troops...they would be a rarity of sorts to see during an attack...maybe best uses for Revenge attacks. Cost would go up by 50 DE per level so max level 5 engineer would cost 250 DE. Thats real costly for a troop thats gonna blow its self up or get flung off the map on its on accord or cut the strings to an air trap only to float up up and away with the balloons.

Not to modern it would be subject to a sort of barbaric engineer look. With maybe a torch instead of a flashlight and a tattered engineer belt with stone tools. Also it would not defeat the purpose of a trap. This would be a rarity due to the large amount of dark elixir it would cost. At a max level 5 "Engineer" I assume it would cost 250 DE to make. Thats a lot to spend on a troop thats soul purpose is to kill its self by blowing its on self up or floating away with the balloons of an air trap after cutting them free or even jumping on a spring trap to purposefully fling itself off the map. Also it may not even make it to its destination that is a hidden trap. A huge gamble on dark elixir. Making the troop a rarity. I don't see how you can knock this idea. Everyone would love it. Even you though you probably won't admit it

New idea.

-once max level 5 is reached they would drop tiny bombs every 3 spaces traveled that would do small amounts of damage to anything that is within one square from it. Of corse the less spaces traveled to reach a trap the less bombs placed but the more likely it is to set off a hidden trap!

OP you aren't aloud to make multiple threads jut for 1 idea

I haven't done that with this idea i accidentally did that with another.
Nothing at all is OP about this..it's rather weak and has a simple purpose

OP as in original poster, not overpowered

Oh so you're just another one of the "forum police" you just hunt on the forums to point out people who have violated some rule and say nothing about the actual idea...it's not the people who re-thread or bump post that are causing problems in the forums it's people like you. Cause if people actually commented on the idea some wouldn't feel the need to re post or bump a post so maybe someone who actually has something good to say about the idea will notice.

Well you were the one talking about it being OP as "over-powered"... but the guy that said that didn't mean that.

Im kinda 50/50 on it. It should be able to test more traps as you upgrade it, and takes up more space as you upgrade, since they test more traps. Also, as we all know the sucide rat, the lemming, I think that may be a better name for it, The Lemming. Maybe upgrades cost more than usual upgrades? other that that, splendid idea

Thank for you feedback...that name sounds cool but it's too advanced of a name when you have names like barbarian wizard archer...I think engineer is a better name but ofcorse then name isnt reall what matters the use of what it is does. Thank you for the positive feedback:)
