a couple ideas

#1 preset base designs- you can keep multiple (around 5) base designs that you can easily change between instead of spending a lot of time redesigning your base when you want to farm or when you want to gain trophies.
#2 freeze traps- 20,000 gold to buy, and 2,000 to rearm ( and it goes up by 1,000 per level). When troops hit the trap they freeze temporarily (maybe 20 seconds).
#3 change of scenery- you can change the background for your base. Instead of the small patch of grass, a forrest , and the ocean; there could be one that is an island, one that has just the Forrest around it, or anything. Just a change of scenery.
#4 NIGHT TIME!!!- make it to where the time changes, my villagers are in need of sleep.
#5 care packages- if we ate going to have an ocean near our village we might as well use it, have random packages fall into the ocean. They could give small amounts of gold/elixer/dark elixer.

Thank you for reading my ideas and I hope that you like them.

The freeze traps could either be set to ground or air, and unlock at th8 or 9.

#1 I agree, this is a nice tool and i think its favored by more people.

#2 Mm, i'm not sure but i think spells are fine atm - also if this would happen life 20 seconds is WAY to long - If all your "tank" troops would get stuck for 20sec they'll die for sure. Don't like this trap idea much.

#3 I don't need something like this - But a option you can toggle this on or off would be fine. It gives people a choice and thats in my opinion always a good idea to do in games.

#4 Same opinion as #3

#5 i like this idea too - I don't need to recive any elixer or gold but its a fresh idea - if we'd get the same from those packages as trees and stuff its enough

Thanks for sharing, some nice ideas i'd like to see
