Right now, for a few gems you can boost gold mines and elixr pumps for 24 hours; how about the same thing for defenses?
Instead of the item having a green swirl like the resources currently have, make defenses have a purple swirl... like a rage spell.
The exact boost percentage and gem cost I leave up to the developers.
This would be an alternative to buying a shield, and would still allow you to raid for resources, but help (hopefully) deter folks from attacking you while you frantically try to save 8mil for lvl4 dragons, etc.
Hidden teslas and bombs would be available as well, but would not show the purple boost swirl to the attacker until the trap has been sprung.
