clan castle idea

ive come up with 2 clan castle ideas.

1. the castle has room for troops on top of it, but its never used. what if there was an option to change the way your troops spawn into battle from the castle? the way troops defend your base right now is by running out to face their enemies once triggered. what if a new button was added to the castle, this button will be called "defend". when set to "defend", archers and wizards in the castle will shoot from the top of the clan castle, the range of the castle will change to 7 tiles, so the archers and wizards on top of the castle will defend from there. melee units will run out to battle once there are enemies within the 7 tile radius, this means they can help defend the archers and wizards on top of the castle. if you want all troops to simply run out and attack all enemy troops with the larger clan castle attack radius, you can set your castle to "attack". there will be a limit of 5 troops on top of the castle, so if you have all archers in your clan castle, only 5 will remain on top and the rest will run out to battle. if you have 2 wizards and the rest are archers, 2 wizards and 3 archers will be on top defending.

pros: stronger clan castle defense
cons: shorter radius means your base will not be entirely safe if the clan castle is never triggered by enemies.

2. some people like using their clan troops on raids, but their clan troops are never safe because they can be summoned to defend your base at any moment. what if there was a button to "lock" all the units inside. when set to "lock" your troops wont defend your base, rather, they are safe in the castle and can be used on raids from the player. the troops locked inside are not lost if the castle is destroyed. if the player wishes for their troop to defend their base, they will simply tap "unlock", then the troops will always defend your base.

pros: you can save your clan troops for raiding
cons: your clan troops wont protect your base

what do you guys think?

We don't normally BUMP - but i'm actually glad you did anyway, this sounds like an interesting idea - kind of a hybrid archer/wiz tower

Anyone have any thoughts?

im glad you like it. i would totally set my castle to "defend" if this choice was available. ide rather have my castle act like a monster tower rather than a castle that releases troops to their deaths.

Love the idea. People in game have mentioned something like this but this is the first post I've seen about it. Would strongly support this. Question though, would the troops on the cc be targetable or would you need to destroy the cc to kill them?

this is a very good idea, i would get wizards to do the defending job in the castle. imagine 7 wizards (28 troop space) that are level 5, standing on the top of the clan castle doing 170 dps AREA SPLASH. that would be awesome!!

yes, you would have to destroy the clan castle to kill the troops on top.

Ah, well unless they lowered the hps I don't think it would be feasible.... Cc is already hard enough to get around without having a bunch of troops firing on you at the same time.

Sounds good, but to be fair, you would have to reduce the number of cc troops that could be on top at a time and reduce cc hit points.

perhaps the top of the castle can have a limit of 5 troops, kind of like how you can only donate 5 troops to each person. you could have 5 wizards on top, or 5 archers on top and the rest of the archers and melee troops will run out to fight.

I like both ideas. Locking them in would prevent luring them out into a Thor, and defending from the top would act as another defensive building. Finally, a fresh idea!

The first bit is basically my idea, see thread: Clan Castle Improvements. But the second bit is ok.

With this idea, WB's could defend by dropping or tossing their bombs from the roof top, giving a new use for the breakers, and a reason to donate another troop type.

LoL, Good point. Maybe they have a stash of their bombs in the CC, and would be relieved from their suicidal tendencies due to their tossing the bombs.

They jump off the roof and then blow themselves up. ;)

Overall good idea. Also you could have a setting for ALL the troops to run into battle.

thats what the clan troops do now. if this idea is implemented you would be able to choose the way your clan troops defend. thanks for your support.
