Ok, so I was thinking, I often pre-set my training in the barracks so they can train while I'm attacking.
Sometimes I dont use all the troops I have trained and I have more of them then I wanted. The solution now is I donate them to clan members but I can't always do that, because they are not always online/have space etc.
What I do then is I dump them at the goblins, but this feels like quite a waste (especially more expensive troops, like healers and wizards).
So I was wondering if there could be a new building, The Dump (probably an other name, open for suggestions) for your unwanted troops, where you can take them out later, or like a clan dump where everybody in your clan can take the troops. This dump could look like a park, a bar or any type of amusement themed building where (some of) your troops will be shown waiting. There will be some issues but I have thought about that.
The following description is described in a personal situation.
To avoid problems I came up with some rules:
- You should only be able to dump a limited amount of troop capacity, depending on your town hall level. Sure you can use it as a storage bank, but it is limited. You also can use your barracks like this so why not 'The Dump'?
- The amount of housing points dumped can be a penalty on the training capicity on your barracks. Also, you should take out the dumped troops before training new ones. Example: You have dumped 4 wizards, and you want to train new ones, the 4 wizards should be taken out of the dump before you will be able to train new ones (the wizard button in the barracks will be grey).
- You shouldn't be able to dump all the time, after dumping a certain amount of troops there will be a time penalty to dump again, much like the Request Troops option in the Clan Castle, but a lot longer cool down (1hour? 2hours? Maybe even more to avoid abuse ♥♥♥♥♥ing on training times).
- Maybe, to avoid ♥♥♥♥♥ing on the training time, you should wait for the troops to be rebuild, but this will be free.
The following description is described in a clan-dump situation.
What if you could do the same thing, but in a clan situation? There would be a building every player could build, storing troops everyone (in the clan) can take, or maybe can be bought from others (at a slightly lower price than in the barracks, like 90%-95% of the normal price). If it is the case that troops are going to be sold to others 'The Dump' should be called 'The Market'.
All of the rules as shown above in a personal dump should apply as well.
Edit on personal dump rules (in a dump situation,
not a market situation!!!):
- You can train the troops that are available in the clan dump. This might not be a big issue since you can just take the dumped troops for free.
Additional rules (in a dump situation,
not a market situation!!!):
- First troops in, first troops out. Example: When Player A dumps troops, lets say archers level 4, and Player B also dumps archers level 4, the archers of Player A will be taken first. This is important because there is a limit you can dump.
- There might be a limit on the amount of the same troops in the dump.
- You can only take out the amount of dumped troops you have dumped. Example: If you dumped a dragon, which costs 20 housing points, then the max. amount of troops you can take is also max. 20 housing points (like 20 archers or 5 wallbreakers and 10 barbarians etc.).
- You only can take troops you can train yourself (or lower levels)!
Rules in a market situation:
- First in, first troops out will not apply. You can buy troops from a clan member you like more so he can dump new troops.
- Like I already said, the price the troops are sold should be 90%-95% of the normal price (You should not be able to change this price, this will be a pre-set price).
- You can't buy troops you can't train by yourself, however, you can buy higher level troops you can train by yourself up to 1 level higher. Example: You can't train a P.E.K.K.A., you can't buy one. You can train goblins level 3, you can buy goblins level 4 or lower.
- You can loot your market (if you sold something) in a way you loot your (dark)elixer drill/goldmine.
- People raiding your villige can take 100% of the loot which is in your market.
- Limit on the troops might not be neccesarry since you are selling them for a lower price you train them.
