example:

trench with rocks/water/sludge/tar slow troops down; thicker the liquid, slower they move. Acid and Lava cause
damage. Smaller troops will trudge through if its a short distance from their goal, but walk around if it's Acid/Lava. Larger troops(giants,pekka,ect.) will walk right through and receive some damage depending on their level.

Could actually be kind of interesting.... maybe you buy them in 3x1 tile segments and you get X amount based on TH level, like a normal trap.

Cool idea! Needs some tweaking but I can see buying trench space similar to buying wall space. There needs to be some AI adjustments such as troops calculating whether the path through or around is ideal, however, if you add in the damage aspect then that complicates that dynamic. Unless the target was not accessible without traversing the trench, then the troops has to make a decision whether the path around is longer and the damage taken from the trench is worth that time saved or not. It could get a little hairy. Then you have to think about how ridiculously hard it would be to attack someone with level 11 walls and the highest level of trenches surrounding them. The limit would definitely have to be low enough to ensure that one couldn't surround all or even most of their base. It could be cool if game dev people who are much smarter than I put some real thought into it.

Its cool but honestly they seem to do the same thing as walls

somewhat. trenches with Tar, Acid, or Lava deal damage.
