More Diversity in Troops Please

This is a nice game, but I can't help but feel put off by troops presented in this game.

1. Most of the human troops are white. Hog Riders are the only olive-coloured (non-white) troops in the game
2. All of the female troops are ranged combatants.

So, having checked out the list of what's been suggested before, I'd like to request that whatever is chosen has some thought behind the toons that represent the new troops.

Some suggestions I thought of include, all of which I've tried to limit to the fantasy genre and/or cultures that lived in a Clan-like structure:

• Black male melee warrior:Māori (not as tough as Giants, but faster?)
• White female melee warrior: Shield Maidens (not as strong as Swordsmen, but will only target Defences?)
• Dark skinned female mounted warrior: Amazons (please give them actual clothes)
• Asian Clan-based mounted warrior: Mongols (on cute little Mongolian ponies)
• Middle-eastern Troops: Ifrit (fiery winged men/women), Djinns (genies: ground troops the phase through walls?), Mamluk (mounted warriors), Roc (Giant Eagle that could pick up an enemy ground troop and droop them off the edge of the map?)

Again, these are only examples.

The main point of this should be, when the design team are looking at new introducing a new type of troop into the game, can we please see some diversity in the toons? More females on the front line and some non-white heroes to use in Battle and/or to protect our Village would be nice too.

Not everyone that plays this game is a white guy, so it would be nice to see other representations in the game.

It's kinda sad that Green skin got a look in before black or brown. ; )

Interesting twist on the troops. I like it but it veers away from certain aspects of the game in a way. :o

So Valkyries are ranged troops? What about P.E.K.K.A.s (Technically they're female :o).
My point is, this is a game. I am 100% opposed to racism or s*xism, but we are not playing Clash of Clans to fight racism, we are playing it to have fun! ;)
You have a valid point, but I disagree; with only the limited amount of troops as they are, and many of them not even human (Goblins, Minions, Lava Hounds, etc), it would be impossible to represent all races and genders accurately. Are all white men either short, buff, blond and like drooling,or huge and fat? No! We all know this! That is not the point of this game! If it offends you, try to take it with a grain of salt. There are many, many more games out there in which women are portrayed much more in-accurately. :D

I like the idea and it may be great for the future, but reading this makes me wonder if you think people feel the need to relate to the troops. (Keep in mind that i like the idea lol).

I would also like to mention that it looks like SEE has made a theme for coc which would be the resson why all the troops can relate to the same time epoch, Dragons which giants may not be real but they sure were in the tales just like the famouse Mr T riding a hog and the Sumo wrestler who always wanted to be a samurai aka the Pekka.

Oh and the Valkyries/pekkas are female melee warriors :o

I'd like to clarify that I'm not expecting every race/nationality to be represented, just that it would be nice if the game could expand their cultural palette.

We don't play Clash of Clans to fight racism or sexism, but that doesn't mean that the developers can't take steps to ensure that these elements aren't in their game.

I am against racism and sexism fully. But you just said not every race/nationality be represented? Then those ones that aren't.. What are they going to do? The developers have taken the steps to make sure that this isn't in their game. They aren't sexist because the women fighters do just as much as the male fighters do. The white skinned fighters do just as much as the other skinned fighters do. It may sound wrong.. But the color of their skin is just what it is called.. A color.. It doesn't make them better then one or worse than one.. It makes them unique.

Bumping your threads is against the rules...

:facepalm:
What op needs to do is to stop viewing everything as oppression against a certain gender or race.

Diversity in this game isn't a problem until you choose to look at it that way.

Plus, there will be no end to introducing new troops if this was implemented. If we introduce, for example, new troops of Asian descent, which doesn't fit the setting of Clash Of Clans anyways, op would be complaining about he misrepresentations/ stereotypes involved in the new troop etc etc

What's next ? Getting rid of the dragon because it represents animal cruelty ?

Very good point, Clash is a game not a anti racism organization.... This thread is truly pointless...
