A new look at additional heroes - The Hero Bank
Hello everybody, I've been observing the forums for a while and only decided to make an account after this suggestion came to mind.
I've noticed that there is an ongoing battle between those who want additional heroes and those who do not. While I personally do not want additional heroes (I feel as if two are enough), I believe that this would be a logical compromise.
My proposal is the Hero Bank. With lack of a better comparison, I would relate this feature to the new village layout editor. This hero bank would allow additional heroes to exist in the game, but it would only allow two heroes to exist in a village at a time.
For example, say there was a hero for all 10 of the regular elixir troops in the game. Let's say I wanted to use my Goblin and Giant hero instead of the Barbarian King and Archer Queen. I would go to the hero bank, deselect the Barbarian King and Archer Queen, and select the Goblin and Giant heroes. In my village, the altars would change to accommodate these alternative heroes, and the Goblin and Giant heroes would be available to use for defense or battle.
However, simply creating a function like this would not be very balanced, therefore I also propose limitations on the hero bank's capabilities. Therefore, all recovery/upgrade times on current heroes would still have to be fulfilled before alternative heroes could be used/upgraded. For example, if I begin upgrading my Barbarian King to level 33 and then wish to bring out my level 3 Goblin hero, the Goblin hero would be displayed with it's altar, but the 7 days to upgrade the Barbarian King would have to pass before the Goblin hero could defend or be used to attack, even though the Goblin hero would only take 1 day to upgrade. The same goes for if I just used the Barbarian King in battle, and wish to use the Goblin hero in the next battle. If the recovery time of the Barbarian King had 40 minutes remaining, the Goblin hero would not be available for another 40 minutes.
This suggestion simply acts a compromise between the two types of people I've pointed out that exist on this forum. Let me know if anything wasn't clear. Thank you for reading.
