Would the illusion mimic the current / selected level of defense, or will it require upgrading too?

Thanks for the positive support guys! Maybe they will come round to their decoy building idea. Will add a lot of interesting gameplay dynamics.

@dinner: My thought was that it would mimic any structure you wanted. So if you had levels 4-5-6 AD's you would have to pick which level would serve as the "decoy" ... gives people incentive to develop their base better. Because if you see three different levels of things then you know at least 2 that are real, etc...

adding a new defense would be cool but you would have to add a new troop to level up so its not to op

Sounds fun to me and I thinks supercell should consider it seriously

Given that it's a defensive structure that doesn't actually "do" anything, I don't think it could ever be considered OP. It might cause headaches in attack strategies. So maybe psychologically OP but not gameplay OP.

Lets say you are at TH 9 or 10 and you want the Illusion to be an Xbow or an Inferno Tower.. if destroyed.. would it count towards to achievements of destroying these two defenses? Same question could be asked about the mortar and whether or not it would count towards that achievement as well.

GREAT idea though!

I can see it now, all bases will have 2 DE storage's. Which one to zap.

Lol that is good :)

Good idea.

But why not storages? It would make it harder to choose which ones hav loot, and it would lead to attacking the wrong one.

Yea this is true. I'm not sure why I put the no storage restriction in there. But you guys are right; adds complexity to based with 2 DE storages, etc. I take it back! :)

Maybe Chief Pat could even pitch it to SC one day. :)

Perhaps instead of 1 hp which would require troops to attack The Illusion, instead, once any troop comes in range of the trap it will "mystically disappear".

The range would be around 5 spaces, (in between a tesla and a big bomb). I feel thats a good balance for the range.

The reason for it disappearing instead of 1 hp would: 1. goes better with the theme of "the Illusion". But also 2. Giants wouldnt be forced to attack a wall for 10 seconds trying to get to a fake cannon. As long as the cannon is within 5 spaces that is! (This is assuming defensive targeting troops would target fakes)
