Ironman mode

Diablo 2 had this mode called "iron man mode" or something, if your hero died it was gone for good and you had to start all over. Why not make an iron man league mode where loosing 100% of the base means you loose the base forever and has to start over?

This would be a fun and frustrating mode at the same time. What do you think? Or maybe make the mode a little softer, loosing 100% of the base means loosing 100% of your resources and maybe reset the timer on current buildings getting upgraded "upgrade destroyed". The possibilities are almost endless and I think it would attract a certain type of gamers.

So basically the first people to gem their base are undefeatable.

Ok I don't like this idea the way you posted it but how about this,

You get a second base, that will be reset every two weeks,if your base is destroyed during those two weeks your base is reset and you have to start from scratch, you can only attack those that have been destroyed the same number of times as you or below! So someone who was destroyed twice could not attack someone destroyed three times!!!

Everyone starts with the same number of gold/elixer, and you have to battle for the rest! Every base gives a certain amount of resource depending on their level vs yours! There are no mines to collect from and no wait time for upgrades!

Troops would Level up based on the number of battles they survive (for the purpose of the mini game your troops come back to camp if they survive) the longer they survive the more more experience they get torwards the next level! If they die they and there level are gone!

Your base is not placed to be attacked until you upgrade it and place your defences, just like when you first started the game!

At the end of two weeks resources would be rewarded based on how long you lasted, the number of times you were destroyed, and the number of successful attacks! These resources would go to your main base, and because you spent no resources from your main base that means that all resources gained, are completely profit!

Then your base is reset for the next two week battle of dominance!

And you could use 500 GEMS after being destroyed to start with your defences already in place with the starting resources able to be used for upgrades instead! But you cannot gem your upgrades! However you can use more GEMS if you don't have enough elixir for troops!

I think this was called "hardcore" mode, wasn't it?

The difference between that and what you're proposing is that in D2 it was under your own control to proceed a new area cautiously. However, in CoC, you have absolutely no say/input into who attacks you, nor can you actively "proceed cautiously" on defense because you have zero control, you just have to sit there and hope your base does its job to protect you from 100% annihilation.

The fact that you can easily be 3-starred by any overpowered player that has decided to drop their trophies into your trophy range along your journey of the game, that would make a "hardcore" mode a lot more difficult to work than compared to in D2, IMO.
