Choice between 2 armies while farming.

During farming, most of COC players would commit to a type of army to get the loot. Most clashers either choose between a combination of Barbarians and Archers or a more tougher, more expensive army of giants or golems with wizards or PEKKA. And most often you would face a very good loot that doesn't match the army we have at hand. My idea is that clashers can train 2 armies troops and when attacking another village, we get the choice of one army to use. This way we won't miss the chance of a good loot just cause the base require a different type of army. We won't be able to use both armies at the same attack as the other army gets locked out as soon as you deploy your first attacker. I hope that many would agree with my idea. Thanks for reading Clashers.

Nah, in CoC you have to improvise a strategy

This is just a bad idea...I mean really? 2 armies for 1 attack? No...just no.

So when you are Barching and you find someone who have all the resources in the storages, how would you improvise that??

Just one army per attack. not 2 armies per attack. you get to choose which army to use at the beginning of the attack.

Exactly what i'm saying, way too overpowered. CoC is about strategy and planning. If you're farming bring a farming army. If pushing bring a pushing army. Really simple. No need for this...

so when you are barching and you find someone who has the loot in the storages instead of the collectors, what do you do?? don't you just skip it?
what am saying is that you don't need to skip that loot and just switch to an army with giants and wall breakers.
that's all, not gonna use both armies in a single attack.

You don't. That's the price you pay for building cheap troops. This dynamic is critical for game balance.

In that case, you not gonna use cheap troops anyway. You will be using troops that would work for that type of attack. You use that army and move on to training a new one. would still cost the same.

Whut? The question is one of balance not cost. You choose what your troops are going to be ahead of time. Cheaper troops have obvious advantages, but the disadvantage is it limits your target selection substantially. You're attempting to circumvent that with this idea.

Being able to easily switch between two separate armies (one cheap, and one not) at will against any arbitrary base would be a major balance shift in favor of the attacker.

That i actually agree with. maybe if it can be done with a penalty to the amount of troops you are taking to battle? That might balance it up.

Nope, you can't have it all, you bring one army to the battle and only one. It's not like your Barbs and Archers are suddenly going to transform into a GoWiPe. This is why it's nice to have a mixed Army Composition sometimes so you have the ability to take on harder bases.

Good idea, two problems:
1) how would you manage with army camps? You can't double them.
2) will SC allow to make double armies a non conventional deposit of elixer, subtracting it to the possible loot of outer attacks?

Just nah......

So you are saying that COC is supposed to make it easy to destroy bases? Seriously if your having problems with a base, don't make a request just to be able to counter it. COC is about improvising, if you can't do that, well, then that's not a good strategist it it?
