Role of decoration

What the decoration are for? They're cool, but player wastes resouces and space for nothing. I think that, at least, decoration should act as any other building, in the sense that enemy troops couldn't be displayed close to a decoration object. But, in my opinión, ornaments should also give some general benefits to the village. Why? As example, a villager would be happier -and therefore be more efficient- if there are gardens in the village.
Some general improvements could be:
- torchs: increase defense by 1%; if destroyed, the effect disappears
- gardens: increase 2% production of mines/extractors each.
- wheather vane: increase 5% power of archer towers and air defenses; if destroyed, the effect disappears
- White flag, direction flag, meeting flag: mislead and "attract" enemy troops with random objectives, so they're are slower to fix a new objective; if destroyed, the effect disappears
- national flag: increase all your defense 5%; if destroyed, the effect disappears
- skull: increase 2% production of DE.

I like where you're going with this, at least the concept behind it. The cost for the decoration would have to increase substantially if it produces such a benefit. But I think it would add to the game. I would like to see more beneficial decorations unlock at achieved experience levels as well.

Agreed.

In the beginning, I had more gold than I could spend, so I bought all of the decorations available. As I progressed, I found it tedious to have to place all those flags etc. every time I rearranged my base, so I sold them all at a loss.

Here are a few ways to use decorations:

1. Put decorations around your exposed TH to show potential attackers there are no hidden traps (I do this).

2. Put decorations all over your war map where you think the enemy will likely want to lure your CC (making it tougher to see what's going on during battle).

3. If/when your storages are maxed out (such as when you're waiting to hit a new TH), buy decorations that you can sell back for extra resources once you arrive at the new TH (so you will have full storages to spend, plus small refund on flags, etc.).

I really like this idea, but yes the cost would go up a LOT.
