New building: academy

Making an overpowered upgrade expensive just means that paying players will crush non-paying players. And non-paying players will leave. And paying players will end up fighting each other, not win, and leave because the game is a ghost town now. So ridiculously pricing stuff is not a solution. Nerfing is not either. It just has to add something interesting to the game.

Also, I think that changing troop targets (like making your barbs go towards defenses) is like radically changing hp and damage (like making your balloon or wb with lots of hp). The way you build your army is based on the units' behavior and stats, so you should not be able to change their targeting (too much).

I think this is a very good idea and I hope supercell will take this into consideration in a future update. The price of these "upgrades" should be high so it will be hard to upgrade. Although I'm not totally onboard with the special targeting the other ideas are excellent and I hope this is implemented

Ummm, yeh the last lvl 6 allow you to choose what troops attack!! Did you think that one through? It will be all Pekkas and Dragons. Taking down bases..... Not very good.

I love the idea of where this is going, but some of the upgrades seem very overpowreed and complex.

Maybe when you choose to upgrade something, you can choose between 2 traits to add on a specific defense. Here is an example.

Trait 1:

Mortar Knockback increased by 50%

Trait 2:

Mortar explodes upon death; explosion radius of giant bomb and 30 damage.

(just ideas)


I don't think upgrading the train time of barracks will EVER become possible.

As I said before, I rethought it and see that the changing troop AI should be scrapped, way to OP

I like the idea of a commander to influence the troops AI. it's like the king but has no attack but has similar health to the king he buffs the troops round him and let's you override the AI of any troops near him say in a ring like a spell has if any troops are inside this ring they can be directed manually by the player to any if he dies you lose the buff and ability to control troops, it heals like a king as well
if you had the ability to move him around by tapping the screen as well he could be a very tactical weapon.
you could give him 2 rings a target selection ring ( bigger) and a influence ring.( smaller)

It Is a good idea for the future. I have some of my things to add to this idea, but changing what can be upgraded and where they are upgraded, and how they are upgraded. Please look at the OP before reading on.




Instead of a new building, they should just be upgraded in the lab. You will only be able to research these defence upgrades at TH8 and 9.




The idea is to choose between 2 traits to upgrade on the defence. These wont be boring upgrades like 20% more dmg or something. Here are some of the defence upgrades.
-------------------




Archer Tower




Trait 1: Rebellious Ammunition (Passive)




Archer Towers will fire flaming arrows, dealing damage over time to the target. The fire damage can stack up to a cap of 3 attacks.




Trait 2: Team Targeting (Passive Trait)




Archer Towers can fire at ground and air units at the same time.
----/-----------------




Mortar




Trait 1: Shrapnel Overload (Passive)




Units will be pushed 50% farther than usual. Giants, PEKKA, Wizards will be pushed now, with the force of a mortar without the upgrade trait.




Trait 2: Volcanic Eruption (Passive)




Mortars can damage air units if they are underneath the mortar explosion. The mortar cannot fire directly at air units.

I love the idea and would love to have one. However, it seems a bit far-fetched and overwhelming. Great idea though!

How about if, since at level seven+, for example, you have three archers on the tower, each archer can fire at a different target at 33% the damage?
