New troop category: artillery
I have been thinking a long time about artillery in clash of clans. We have infantry and we have flying troops so i thought we could implement this to add some more spice to the game. Basicly, it would be a 4x4 building (same size as lab and town hall). You would click on the building to build some infantry (it would cost elixer) in this building you will have the ability to build some artillery which would add the army camps space. At first I think these buildings would be only available at Town hall 8, as the units would be very powerful and another will be unlocked at town hall 10. Artillery units will not be able to be donated in the clan castle.
