Give us a bench to choose from

So, during one of my many raid runs I came across a TH10 base with crazy loot that I would have loved to GoWiPe but had a Valk/Giant army prepared looking for abandoned TH9's when the following idea occurred to me....

Let us have a bench!!

Let us train say 450/500 troops to put on the bench but only allow us to use however many our army camps will allow (240 for me at max TH10). This would make raiding so much more interactive, allowing us to make changes to our strategies on the fly (swap a few hogs for a healer or drop an extra golem in place of a PEKKA and wizard etc.).

It's not that dissimilar to a Football teams bench, and would open up a lot more possibilities for crazy raids. Just a thought for the next upgrade guys

Thoughts welcomed??

This is a really good idea, but extremely difficult to implement, and get very confusing as well.

I love the thought, and if they could come up with a good way to apply it, I am down.

Although this would be nice for the person raiding, I feel it's overpowered.

You gotta use what you bring to the right, can't call in ringers.

This would work negatively against you too. imagine your DE storage is overflowing and the attacker on his other bench has 5 lightning spells queued. Goodbye DE.

Or even if it's not spells, they could cater the fight to expose your base weakness if a certain upgrade or few upgrades are happening to say air defenses or mortars or something. They can expose your weakness and rip you apart for a lot of resources lost, only because they were able to choose the perfect army to defeat you instead of pressing next because they didn't want to use all dragons against your base.

To me, the game is better without a "bench".

Not sure Kimchi, if I've got al Dragons I'll wait for a base with ads down or xbows empty before raiding, but I might have taken a BARCH that was too good to miss prior to attacking that ad down base if I could change on the fly. And if you're a good TH10 like me you'll be getting lots of resource on any atk you make and also getting plenty taken from you up in Masters and Champ leagues regardless.

That's exactly what I mean, you have to make the tough decision when you come across a lucrative base whether you want to use the wrong army for that base, or click next. It's usually still worth it to attack the base with the wrong army as long as it's not completely wrong. This is part of the game and should stay this way. It's overpowered to have multiple armies queued at your fingertips to raid an enemy with a specific army composition that just happens to be able to rip them apart, that's unfair. If you guessed right and got the right army to destroy them, that's good for you. SC can't make it THAT easy for us.

I think I'm doing alright with my 664 mil Gold Grab achievement. You're getting there with 65 mil.

And I think I'm doing ok with my 2993 trophies in my sweet victory achievement. You're getting there with 2608.

no, this would be unfair, I already have enough people with strong armies attacking me, this would just cause more havoc.

agree'd, I don't push further then my 2609 achievement, because no real incentive. (the bonuses are not worth it hen my army costs that much more)

exactly. Like you Phyxios, I also did the masters push at TH9. I could easily grind the trophies into champ league now if I wanted to, but the return on investment just isn't there, so I'm not going to do that push until I have maxed out my TH10 army. If TH11 comes out before I max out TH10, then I'll put off that push because once again, it's not worth the cost when you can be spending that time/resources farming and building up your base.

Having said that, there's nothing wrong with trophy pushing. It's just inefficient when you already have 5 builders.

Really, cos if you've been playing long enough to raid 10 times what I have and not got past the entry to Masters 3 I'd say you've probably ceilinged out but feel free to walk the walk and actually beat my trophy count (in a weekend big guy??)

Dude, he made it personal, I just pointed out I didn't get to Masters 3 and give up because it was too tough despite not raiding as much Gold as him. Hardly fighting, just pointing out Gold Grab isn't the only way to judge another player, or trying to educate pork if you will :)

Lol. First off, you've been playing longer than I have and I've raided 10 times what you have. I know you've been playing longer because you have removed more obstacles than me, and I remove every single one of mine the same day it pops up :rolleyes: Second, the last time I checked, the entry into masters 3 is actually 2600 trophies, so my 2608 would mean........ *drum roll*........... I surpassed the entry mark into masters! But keep working on that math, you'll get there!

Again, I did it at TH9 by balloonioning TH10s for the achievement + gems for 5th builder, that's why I ended the push there lol.

No worries Phyxios, I'll make this my last post on this subject matter. And a little friendly banter here and there spices things up :)

You just took it personally, I was merely letting you know that with 660+ mill GG, I kinda know what I'm talking about as you also claim, that's all man.

You clearly assumed that the reason I stopped trophy pushing was because it was too tough for me, but seeing the fact that I stopped the push just past 2600 means I clearly did it for the achievement + gems, not because I couldn't get any further ;) and I agree, we aren't fighting. I'm not even taking any of this personal, it's cool. I'm not even knocking trophy pushers or your 2993 highest trophies, that's a good achievement. All I was saying is that I know what I'm talking about and the 660+ mil GG is evidence of that. That, and I disagreed with your original suggestion, no biggie. Anyway, we've digressed far enough, I can leave this alone starting immediately.

I believe I pointed out that you hadn't git any further than the entry to Masters 3 so my maths is right. Perhaps take grammar tutoring??

dude, you assume you can get to 2993 in a weekend. Show me how. As we say here, you can talk the talk but can you walk the walk. Go do it and then I'll accept your drivel around your Gold Grab meaning you're a top player and concede my point. Otherwise, hold your opinion to yourself :)
