An Increasing Bounty on Villages that get skipped.

Add an incentive to attack all these villages that offer no loot.
Some of the villages I come across must get skipped over hundreds of times.
1) Every time these villages get skipped a bounty bonus would increase.
2) You can win the bounty by taking the town hall or getting 3 *s. Will encourage people raiding with stronger more expensive armies too.
3) Once the village is attacked, the bounty will reset to zero whether the bounty was won or not.
4) The bounty will be capped at a certain amount.

I think this would be a fun addition to the game. It will help with the economy too.

Hope you like my idea!

To the OP: Would this bounty be materialized out of thin air or would it be taken from the storages? If the latter is true then you could technically lose all your resources if you only had perhaps 20000, if the first is true than they would artificially add so much loot it would run the risk of polluting the game.

As for the idea i think it's a pretty good one as it will kicked people not worth attacking after a few next and helping reduce the loot problem, but i would say that the bonus will be accorded to someone if he win, not considering how many stars he got.

*Not from storages.
Originally was thinking it could be a portion of the cost to next. But that would leave the bonus just being Gold (not that it is a problem if just gold). So technically not out of thin air.

i think this would be an awesome addition.

we know that this idea has been ruled out:
*Bonus/award if attacker skips your village – partial payment to you on match fee

but this new idea doesnt give the bonus to the defender.

im going to attack. my cost for attacking is 580 gold.
first base i come to, i decide it is not worth my time, if i hit next, lets say 10% of the gold i spent to attack would be deposited into that bases TH. so, now that TH would have 1058 gold, instead of 1000. then, someone else comes along, but their cost to attack is 1000. they skip it, 100 gold gets deposited into the TH.

the best part about this is that the attackers have no idea how much is in the TH till once the round is over. If an attacker doesnt destroy the TH, the bounty remains.

this loot is coming from us. i mean, where does the gold go when we spend it to attack?
no one gets it, it disappears.
it could even be more than 10% since we are the ones funding it. it could be 25%, 50%.
shoot, why not the whole amount?
the owner of the TH would not have access to it, they cannot collect it.
this would also give more people an incentive to not just snipe TH, but actually try to take out the whole base.
this might also cause more people to put their TH outside, which i think is a good thing.
good idea man.
thoughts?

Sounds good!

There is already quite the loot bonus in the higher up trophy leagues, so the 'from thin air' bonus may not be that bad if balanced right.

Assuming it is balanced enough, that would make things less monotonous.

Maybe instead of a loot bonus, the one you get from just winning by one star, you have a small loot multiplier. The more loot you get, the better the bonus. You will have more of a reason to actually attack for loot than you would to just town hall snipe and get money for nothing from some farming bases.

The bonus multiplier would be self limiting, since as soon as it gets high enough for one person, one out of tens or hundreds checking it out, it would be reset after the attack. The loot multiplier could be mostly transparent, since it will show the available loot after factoring in the multiplier.

As for the source, personally I don't think having it taken from the defender would be too popular, since even a 5-10% loot loss, depending on how much one has, let alone a 20% loss, is painful enough as it is.

One thing is for sure, the 'Skipped/Nexted' count idea I suggested we have, as a way to see how good your base is, would be very much needed if a growing loot bonus from each skip was added. People would like to know the skipped count, so to know when they are likely to be attacked from the sheer bonus loot tacked onto thier heads!

you lost me on that multiplier spin Warrenjames.

I kind of like the idea of the bounty being deposited in the town hall. After all, I got the idea from constantly hitting next on villages with less than 80K combined loot and protected town halls. These villages really need an incentive to attack them (like a village with no storage loot and low level full collectors with nothing to offer). Why would anyone ever attack them? But I do think the bounty should be somewhat challenging like taking the protected town hall.

The farmers with the town halls out would never have a large bounty. They have two kinds of attackers on the hunt for them already, the town hall snipers and the people going after loaded storages.

The idea on the loot multiplier was an incentive to attack more of the base, than just the Town Hall. As it stands, the current loot bonus is given when you get one star, be it 50% damage, or a TH snipe. The loot bonus at the higher level trophy leagues gives some people the incentive to push for a high trophy count, and TH snipe for the bonus. It isn't that easy when going up in trophies, since doing 50% damage gets harder as bases get more walls and defences compared to other buildings, and many Town Halls usually get sniped fast and become unavailable quickly. (sorry about the rambling)

But anyway, I see your logic in having it in the TH. That wasn't exactly stated before, but it does make sense that already sniped THs in farm bases wouldn't have a progressively increasing bounty on them. That's pretty well thought out.

Now that I think about it, wouldn't that make the farming base more popular in a way? Not wanting to be attacked and lose loot is what everyone doesn't want (despite it being a key part of the game). Granted, they will have a marginal amount of loot to lose, but getting mostly or totaly wrecked and sometimes losing a lot of trophies, even when normally 'safe' from attacks from looking unappealing would be discouraging. Then again, they would be attacking just as hard, since more villages would seem more worth it to attack.

I don't know... It is an interesting idea, but I'm finding it a bit hard to figure out how it would affect the dynamics of the game. Heh, good job, I'm a little stumped :p It would heavily depend on what the bounty is and how fast it increases. Also, players would want to know how high thier bounty is getting, or how fast it increases as they log off for the night.

The speed of the bounty increase is key. The time spam between no loot and fat with loot can change in the spam of 24 hours or less. If the bounty is high, and they go out to loot, especially not knowing how high that added bounty is, they will get sacked sooner than expected, especially in the time period where they are off line for a few minutes for whatever reason. But many other bases could have the same issue, so as an attacker, the number of targets increase.

You have one heck of a feedback loop sensitive idea here!

It would be a cool feature to know how many skips your base gets. I always wondered about that when I use a hybrid base and don't get attacked for a couple hours. :cool:
