Defensive Range Reveal & Village Name Edit
Hello fellow members of the Clash of Clans community, SkyeHigh01 here with a suggestion. Before you decide to jump to conclusions and post, please read the entire thread before posting useless information that I'm already aware of. I know what has been ruled out and what has already been suggested.
==========
Defensive Range Reveal
I'll keep it short and simple. You know how when you click on a defensive structure, it shows the range of that structure? If you don't, then you aren't playing Clash of Clans.
My suggestion is to simply have that as an 'automatic' function, but only in Village Edit Mode. When you enter Village Edit Mode, all of your defensive structures' ranges will be revealed. This will enable the ability to efficiently find the best way to setup your base, so that your defenses cover the preferred areas.
Ranges that overlap would become brighter, to show that it is covered by multiple defenses. For example, if the range of two archer towers were revealed, and they happened to overlap, the overlapping area would become brighter (think of it in the sense of a venn diagram). The same would apply if three archer towers overlapped, although the overlapping area that contained all three ranges would be brighter than if only two ranges were overlapping. Simply put, great addition.

Village Name/Username Edit
As my other topic was locked, I will continue on here because those who posted don't seem to understand my reasoning. I believe that it is necessary to allow the option to change your village name/username in some way. I understand that this has been ruled out, which I believe is an atrocious decision.

Dear jakewebs, you posted the following on my latest topic. I just wanted to know if you even bothered to read my topic, because I highly doubt you did. My whole point was to clear confusion. Your post displeases me. Please make sure you read the topic before posting.
Okay back on topic. I will try to make this clear so that players will understand why I'm suggesting this, despite it being ruled out and against the forum rules to suggest. I'll start with a simple example:
- You have a clan.
- Your clan has 50 people.
- 5 players have the same village name/username.
- All of their names are 'tyler'.
- All of the players named 'tyler' in the clan are in Bronze I.
- 'tyler' asks a question.
- Another 'tyler' is being very rude.
- Another 'tyler' said he would be back in 5 minutes.
- Another 'tyler' is still sleeping.
- Another 'tyler' responds to the question asked.
- The 'tyler' that was sleeping is kicked for rude language.
- The 'tyler' that was being rude says "I'm back" as a coverup.
- 'tyler' appeared to be talking to himself and was then kicked.
- Members of the clan without the name 'tyler' are confused.
My point is, do not allow a player to chose a village name/username if already in existence. This causes confusion among clans and players sharing similar usernames. I'm not sure exactly how to accomplish this, but a simple way that could possibly work would be that accounts in which are linked to Facebook would replace your village name/username with your Facebook name/nickname.
To make this clear, the name that shows up in the chat box when you type is the name that I'm suggesting for the ability to edit and or change, even if only possible once.
