Customisable Upgrades for Troops

Some people have suggested custom troops, however I think we should just be able to select how we upgrade our already existing troops in the Laboratory.

When you go to research troops, you would be presented with the normal menu - you can select a troop to upgrade; however, when you select the troop, let's say Giant, you see a menu asking which aspect to upgrade: speed, health, damage or target.

Of course there would be downsides, for example if I wanted my giants to target resources and not defences, they would have slightly less health or damage, to balance the change.

This feature would allow people to create unique armies and refine their tactics, and the balancing would prevent people making OP troops.

It has been indicated that people may wish to change their upgrades in the future, and so I have thought of this: the upgrades could be barrack specific - this means you could have one Barrack for training tank giants, and another for damage dealers.

Please help me let Supercell know about this idea and tell me your thoughts! Thanks for reading!

what if a player decides to change his mind, eg. i upgraded my giants as meatshield for barch but now ii want more damage to pull of giant healer,then?

Well I guess that's kind of your own fault, but I do see it being a problem for some. I was thinking maybe the upgrades could be barrack specific? This means you could have one Barrack for training tank giants, and another for damage dealers. I'll add this to the original post!

That's a great idea that would totally change around the whole aspect of the game

Thanks! Nice to hear your support!

This is a good idea to a point. I would really like to see like customizable in apperance, maybe have your clan flag on them or something like that. But as for troops, I think it should stay the same with upgrades, and troops like goblins and giants would stay the same (attacking resourses and defences) but barbarians, archers, and all the rest of them could change. Maybe once your done training them, tap your camp and your unit and you'll be able to select how many of a specific unit you want to do what. Say I'm farming but also trophy hunting, looking for that 1 star victory. If I want some barbarians to attack defence first, and some to attack collectors first, I could change it. Theirs good and bad about this, but I think its at least worth a try. Having more control over your troops like in boom beach would amp up every aspect of fighting.

This seems like my barrack-specific idea. You could train some of your barbarians in a barrack designed for collector targetting, and the rest in the one aimed at defences. I think a visual change to show your customisations would also be nice: resource targeting troops have a backpack or something?

This is a great idea but it would be A LOT of extra coding for Supercell. And could and would cause lag.

I don't like this idea. Troops each have their own individual style, and they should be kept that way.

No, It wouldn't. Or at least it shouldn't. As a programmmer myself, I see this as simply adding a few attributes to each barrack and upon the training of a troop, add the statistics to their default ones.

Although saying that it may mean the transfer of data takes longer when starting a battle or similar: having to send the specific stats of a troop instead of just the type of troop.

I see where you're coming from. Maybe you shouldn't be able to change their favoured target and just their speed/health/DPS? That way you aren't changing their style, just how good at it they are.

I agree with Sky... I think there should be more troops added if anything. We don't need to complicate things.

If that how you feel... Thanks for the feedback though :)
