A tweak to improve loot and reward "fun" game play.

Thanks Daddy! Perhaps you could drop this suggestion direct to Supercell? (Please remember who suggested it and how he's current short about 20,000 gems :rolleyes:)

This is a great idea man!

It's very simple really, depending on the number of stars you earn, you get a % of your troops killed/spells used cost back.





Your thoughts?

I think this is a fantastic idea!!! Loooooong overdue. i cant remember the last time i attacked anyone outside of clan wars because the amount of loot/army cost and time at the higher levels makes it simply not worth while.

As with many other games, recovered troops could be put into a "hospital" [basically a new barracks showing the troops in there with cost, which heals when selected, rather than trains] on your base that you could then heal for a reduced cost [or dismiss if you want different troops].

25% for 1 star, 50% for 2 stars, 75% for 3 stars available in said hospital sounds fantastic.

Alternatively, a set 50% of troops for any win with the cost to "heal" reduced by those amounts

Given the VAST number of clash of clans copycat games out there now, need to keep ahead of the game. I have found one already that returns troops to the camps that were not killed in the winning attack.

I don't think you should ever get 100% of the cost back but the idea of a percentage based on the success of your attack has merit. It would certainly promote the use of some different strategies and make more villages viable targets.

I like it, personally. Not sure if I would have those 50/75% (maybe a tad lower) and no idea if it's been suggested before but it doesn't hurt to ask

Very interesting idea. I like the overall concept, and obviously the %s could be tweaked.

Not bad OP, positive responses from a Mod and a SC employee!
I agree that 50-75 might be a little much, but with a little tweaking we might see this in the future!

Maybe I missed this in OP, do you mean you get refunded for your entire army for a 3star? I think your surviving troops should get refunded, whereas dead troops are well... dead :)

Edit: On second thought, although the above makes more sense, refunding surviving troops encourages lower trophy counts whereas refunding killed troops rewards getting into higher leagues.... don't mind my rambling

More importantly, refunding the cost and not the troops is a great middle ground for SC. If they refunded troops it would negate things like Barrack and spell factory boosting. Great for us but not great from a business perspective. SC still needs solid/consistent avenues for gem spending.

This is is a really cool idea.

Cool idea but it saids 1 star = 50% 2 star=75%
Does that mean if you 3 star you get all army costs back or is it stopped at 75%??
Also 75% and 50% seems a bit high it should be slightly lower
