The above are the current shields that are available in CoC.
I'm thinking that a few more shields would allow clans to stand out more, and become more original as with the thousands of clashers that play daily 51 shields don't exactly go a long way.
Searching through clan names, I see there's over 13 different "Kings Landing" clans, with each one having the same shield #32 (fourth row, fifth column), and similar situations with other top-notch clans since people can create clans with the same exact name as already existing clans.
I personally think there should be something put into the game that allows players to design their OWN shields at the cost of either loot or gems. I think this would also be a fun addition to clan making if you can put your own personal touch on your clan shields.
What features exactly would this shield generator have you ask? [More warrant to be added if this idea is liked]
- Shield patterns (such as the one's currently if you don't want to start from scratch).
- Color changer (which in itself would offer a variety of shield variations).
- Black CoC Troop Emblems (maybe a slanted Viking Helmet with two swords crossing behind it for Barbarians, a hog with an apple in its mouth with an arrow going through it to symbolize Archers, etc.) You could center these emblems, en-large them, and even set them up to cover blank spaces in your shields (ex. shield #2 in the first row, second column).
- "Save" Feature for your designs so you can upload them whenever you'd like.
Please give me feedback! Constructive criticism is appreciated!
