Aim-able Defense / Village Layouts

First - I searched the stickies an threads if I missed it I'm sorry - Flame on...

I feel like I've seen every base layout imaginable. Making a NEW defense with a defense radius in the shape of a Cone (10-20% of a Xbow for example) would blow up the stale base layouts everyone is used to because it would only defend in one direction.

I think it may be easier with a NEW Defense (programming wise). It could be a catapult or some sort of modified mortar/cannon, really I could care less - Main thing is the giving a fresh look at laying out bases because now we've seen them all - everything currently is round big or small

I would like to see a defense that you build and then rotate it with a clockwise button to set coverage north south east or west...

I like the idea. A new defence added to th 6-8 would be nice

Good, just needs a little more detail

How many of these things can we build? whats the damage per second? how much health does it have? how many times can you upgrade it? This is a great post, it just needs some more detail.

Leave the details to SC... My initial thoughts..
- Only one unlocked at TH7-8
- Fairly strong - less then a mortar stronger then a cannon
- Maybe 6 levels - costs expense similar to x-bow/mortar
I want it to be strong enough for people to build there bases around it but not OP so much that it changes the attacking defending dynamics.

I don't really see much use in this, so someone tell me what they would target and I might understand.

This would give it some variety! It could cover up weak spots!

Ground troops... picture a catapult with the defense radius like a slice of pizza for example. It isn't so much about a new defense though as it is a strong new defense that is directional to change up all the typical base layouts/designs.

I like the idea, and what about a ballista for air troops?

Ballista would be cool, then it could target both air & ground troops. Powerful like say say 500dmg but slow to fire like a mortar and only single target.

500dmg seems like a lot (one hitting lvl5 hogs, 2 hits on lvl 6 giants) but remember it would have a narrow slice of defense completely vulnerably from the sides or back. Main goal is adding something that is strong enough to toss typical base layouts in the blender.
