Shorter Training Times To Improve Raiding.

For example, I have 4 million elixir ready all the time and spending it on troops would take ages. So what I noticed with the 6 minute dragon training times lately, everyone goes for fullscale raids, so more people go for storages rather than collectors, making the battles WAY more exciting and fun!

So my idea was that if all higher troops their training time was decreased, like wizards and balloons being 4 minutes and dragons being 20 and pekkas 30 minutes, more people would go for fullscale raids and we would see less resource collector snipers.


Let me know what you think! :D

This a good point only because the troops would remain expensive. Regardless of the training time, people wouldn't always resort to full scale attacks because they'd use all their elixir training expensive troops.

At late stage TH8? No, I have 4 mil elixir on my hands full time, if the training time was not so high, I probably would be using pekkas to farm.

Nah they wouldn't they're too expensive

I agree

With the higher troops taking forever to make the game becomes stale cause of all the waiting. Now at Christmas with that 1 gem boost I could sit there for hours doing many attacks, the game became interesting again. Either reduce the production time or lower the gem boost for speed up back to 1? I actually spent quite a bit over December cause of all the cheap boosts, I just don't think it's worth it atm.

Supercell receives a lot of profit from boosting. Lowering the cost wouldn't work

If you want shorter training boost your barracks.

all this would do is increase the complaint of loot shortages due to more and more higher troop level raiding.

Think about it from SC business perspective - the current training troop times forces you to boost to access the better troops which equals gem usage which in turn equals income for SC. Why would they want to sacrifice that?

It's not going to change

Their are PLENTY of strategies to farm inner storages, and this would be a horrible addition.
Collector raids are VERY common, but storage raids do happen as well, if someone wants to make an army for it.
Barch has become popular because of it's training times, but you arent going to get someones farming base's storages with it, which is why you use another strategy.
Reducing training times would make it so people use things like dragons or gowipe to farm for gold.. With the 6 minute dragon train time, there have been more storage raids, yes, but that is not permanent because it's OP AF to farm gold with..

Actually, all of my air defenses are upgrading, and i havent seen a single air troop used on my base. I dont believe drags/pekka would become a farming strategy

There is mainly two reason that the troops time will not be reduce. First troops will have smaller training will oftenly encounter and the elexar dumping will be fast for making troops and there will be also less loot. Which has been happened when there was 1 boost as every one will attack faster than waiting for the troops. And second one is that it will reduce the gems selling of supercell as people will not boost the barracks than what will be the use of gems for playing. Just fair point nothing more.
