Epic Clan Castle Suggestion

Soo...

How about a change so that if I am visiting one of my clan member's bases and view their clan castle, I automatically have a green donate button to click on somewhere on the interface?

This would obviously not appear if their castle was full.

It would benefit in a few situations:

1) you can watch out for your clan members while the are sleeping and possibly resupply them after a battle while they are away.

2) in the case that you cook troops specifically for donation purposes such as DE troops or like dragons for your Clan when you otherwise wouldn't use them, this would give you a way to donate them even if there are no active requests. There are times I've done this and have had to debate whether or not I should go dump the troops on a goblin map so that I can finish making my preferred attacking army, and it wouldve been easier if I could've just found a clan mate to dump them off to.

Just thought this may encourage people to donate more in certain cases and give clans more ways to help each other.

Awesome idea, I'm a clan leader, donating 1500 avg a week. There's times where I'm asking clan members to request troops. Love the idea

I like this idea but that would defeat the purpose of cool down of requesting cuz if you can't request, come to my clan castle and donate :)

I honestly kinda hope the cool down is to eliminate spammers more than anything. Clan troops don't really unbalance the game... Every 20 minutes is dumb anyway because armies take longer than that to cook, so you're not really keeping anyone from having them on as many raids as they'd like by setting it to 20 minutes. I don't think this would be a problem. If they decided it was a problem I'm sure they could figure out a way to implement that timer into the process, pointless as it may be.

I have suggested this in the past, it's a very good idea.

Ohhh no you don't! MY idea. :)

Seriously though, I appreciate your support :)

I like it too. I can be like santa and give troops to my clan members while they are asleep.

Everyone would like this but don't make it a good idea, would it bring unbalance to the game?

i like this idea.. its really good and i like though that when your clan members are away you could refill them n give them an extra bit of defense.
as for the timer, well that could be implemented so that there is still a timer.. this would really help. i hope this can be added :)

In what way can it bring unbalance to the game that couldn't otherwise be attained by someone clicking "request troops"?

The "worst cast scenario" for this change concerning balance would be that an active donating clan might always have troops in its CC's to defend with...something that does not unbalance the game at all.

It would give people an option to gain exp faster (which does nothing to advance you in the game), so I don't see that as unbalanced.

Not sure what else you might be alluding to...care to share?

There is already a big unbalance between the large clans at the top and the lower clan, this would help them more i feel and if clan was was introduced to the game this may unbalance there too, like I say I'd like it as its nice to always have a full CC but not sure to the whole game it's positive

im on the fence myself

I like this idea. What I think it needs additionally would be an option for players to set what kind of troops they want to receive in the Clan Castle. I suggested the following in another thread:

My idea would be that pressing the request button [or clan castle] would open a similar screen than the donate button, where you can just click on/off the troop types you would like to receive. Only those options would then be open for clanmates when they click the Donate button.


This is needed in my opinion, because even though you may ask for specific troops in the clan chat, it is as the OP said: people don't always read those and even if they do, they might still donate something else. It also clutters up the clan chat with endless "archers, please" that will stay there even after the donation requests are gone.


I donate Archers and Wizards exclusively unless someone asks for something else, like a Dragon or a Healer. I use my Clan Castle primarily for defense, so I ask for Archers 99 % of the time, but don't mind receiving Wizards, Minions or Dragons either. However, I do get annoyed when people dump worthless Giants or Goblins on me when I specifically asked for something else.


Also, making the clans enforce strict "archers only" and "we'll kick you if you donate goblins" rules that I see around just creates a lot of annoying micromanagement and is not something that will contribute to a nice and friendly community environment within the clan. Why not just let people ask for what they need? If you don't have it, don't donate - simple as that.


As a second idea, having the possibility to delete specific troops from your Clan Castle would help. It would allow you to make room for a new request without having to go and dump the whole castle somewhere.

There should still be a cool-down period for donations just like with requests, so that you may not receive more than five units in 20 mins from the same player, be it from donate button on the chat or donate button on the CC.

nice one +1

I like the idea, would be nice to be able to keep my clammiest cc's full for when they do come online or for if they get attacked.

Simple solution, you can't donate if the cool down is still in effect.

as long as u cant donate during cool down im good

Agreed. And being able to release unwanted troops in your CC would be excellent.
