hostage, idea to make town halls more important, introducing the king or queen
I read someone elses post who was suggesting taking prisoners and then being able to use them as builders.
I don't support this idea but it got me thinking.
What if.. in every town hall there would be a king, or a queen. And you need to protect these at all costs(sort of like chess). So rather than just losing a star and 1000 resources of each. Your king or queen could actually be kidnapped.
Which would then have a negative effect on your... I don't know: building time, troop training time...
The other way around would go as well, if you have more than one queen in your town with a max of say... 5? You could actually boost your training time, building time...
This would give people more incentive to not only protect their town halls but also to go after everyone elses queen rather than resources only! You could have her regenerate in time, sort of like the heroes heal, it would only take longer. And they could also "die" after a fixed amount of time in imprisonment giving no one a definitive boost in the game...
To make it absolutely rock, your troops would not only need to actually destroy the town hall, but would also have to physically carry her out of the map before the timer runs out :) Sort of like capture the flag, just with ppl...
You could then make dark barrack troops (or regular barracks troops) called kidnappers or something that specialize in this sort of thing...
Fine, I think that's good enough as a first draft of this idea!
Hope some people read this and like it,
Cheers,
