New Building Idea: The "Garrison"
Everyone says that defense is lacking and that attacking needs to be adjusted...well here's an idea I came up with: The "Garrison".
A defensive building that periodically sends out troops while your base is being attacked. Different levels provide different troops, different troop levels, and how often troops are sent out. ie. At level 1 you can send out 1 Barb every 30 seconds, level 2 you can send out 1 Barb or 1 Archer every 29 seconds, or level 9 you can send out 1 Dragon every 2mins or a horde or Barbs/Archers/Wizzards, etc, etc. All of these troop types, their amounts, the amount of time per release, and levels they become available could be different, just that the higher the level the better it is, obviously.
Rate of deployment could be boosted with gems.
The Troop levels could be based off of the Lab Researches and troop restrictions based off of troops unlocked in the barracks. For example, you might have a level 9 Garrison which would have otherwise let you have Dragons but you only have a max level 8 Barracks which means your highest troop that is available is the Healer, so you couldn't have a Dragon. All numbers and troops could obviously be different.
It could have an interface for players to chose what kind of troops they want sent out; Barbs, Healers, Dragons, Witches, etc.
It could have a radius much like the Clan Castle and other defensive buildings and would only activate if troops came within the radius.
It could be loaded with elixir or dark elixir (depending on the desired troops) to operate.
Or troops could be be pre-bought prior to attacks. Troops could have an increased cost from attacking troops by a certain %. ie level 2 Dragons cost 30,000E for attacking, but in the Garrison they cost +50%: 45,000E. Or even +100%/+200%: 60,000E/90,000E respectively.
It could be only available in regular battles and not Clan War battles.
Buildings next to it or in a small radius could take a damage/rate of fire/dps boost/debuff.
It could even be a new feature for the Town Hall.
Pretty much any of these ideas or a combination would be cool. As far as I know its an original idea and I looked around for it before posting but I am new here so I could have missed it..., either way I would love to see some feedback on the idea especially from any moderators of the forum and even more especially from any developers if they would oblige ;)
Good and bad feedback, I love critiques. Rip it apart and throw away the junk, make it yours, whatever you want...let me know.
