It has roughly the same hp and damage as well. and when the crows fly out and damage things it's pretty similar to the valk's ability to attack multiple buildings and the lava hound's lava pups.

That said, I really like the concept overall. It just needs a defining characteristic to set it a bit farther apart from the other troops that already exist. For example maybe the crows could target the specific defense that shot it last before it died? Or just go for the nearest defenses.

Eh.

SC didn't care about imitating the Lava Hound after the Golem as a new troop after almost a year. I don't see the issue.

I also don't know if it is just me but why level 7 barracks? (this may sound stupid!) but couldn't they implant it to like level 5 barracks or something like that? and sort of unrelated but is dark elixir like radioactive stuff now I thought it was stuff from another dimension.

It's actually the purest form of elixer on all of the Clash Universe.

Because level 5 and 6 introduce the witch and lava hound, they can't just replace these troops al of a sudden.

There are a lot of mysteries about the dark elixir, as Buttermink stated above; it's the purest form of elixir.

Here is a quote from the game itself about the Barbarian King.

Quote:

---

"The Barbarian King is the toughest and meanest barbarian in all the realm, whose appetite for Dark Elixir has caused him to grow to a giant size. He can attack enemy villages or guard your village."

---

It seems that dark elixir has some unusual side-effects, almost radioactive if you will.
These crows simply developed an appetite for dark elixir and just want more of it.

It's hard to balance a troop without testing it, you say it's to OP but i'll let Supercell decide that part. I don't care much for stats to be honest, the concept and abilities is what makes a troop original.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

That's the thing, lava hounds aren't copies of golems, they just both happen to be tanks. Before SC released lava hounds there was no air troop specifically designated as a tank, dragons had the highest health but they're more of a powerhouse like the pekka, not an actual tank.

As for the flock of crows; attacking the nearest defensive building is a nice touch but i don't want them to ignore clan castle troops. It's great when a flyer destroys the scarecrow the flock of crows retaliates immediately. Preferably attacking the defense / cc troop that destroyed the scarecrow might be an option. The ability to enrage other scarecrows is what distinguishes it from other secondary troops most.

Those are some good points,

A flock of crows can attack ground and air targets and is not bothered by walls.

Glad you thought about what I said :D This is better than what I originally proposed :) great addition!

Man, I really like the image, great job! :))
I hope we can keep this thread alive, and Supercell sees it some day, and adds this troop to the game.

But I don't have any high hopes, there are so many creative & fantastic ideas on the forum, and this year we got only 1 (!!!) dark troop, while last year we got 5... :)

Thanks man! I'm glad you like it so much. :cool:

If you'd like you can now vote.

Really nice idea. Your threads are so appealing because of the nice graphics. But the idea is very good . I prefer the Acidite one more though.
