"Ex-Lab" - CROSS-BREED TROOPS in EXPERIMENTAL LAB

The "Ex-Lab" (Experimental Laboratory)
You can modify troops to BEHAVE like other troops:
- Archers that behave like Goblins, and just target treasure buildings 1st.
- Giants that behave like Wall Breakers, and attack walls, going to the next closest closed in wall after breaking the first one
- etc...

Basically, in the Ex-Lab, you can select a troop type and a drop down window of its NEW favorite attack style.

Troop: GIANT
Attack Style: Goblin
How Many: 10 (same as +troop for training)
Cost: 10 x 250 elixir

Obviously some will be more costly than others and only available at a higher level of Ex-Lab (Dragons that target weapons would be very costly AND.. if the new hybrid is TOO effective, maybe it is produced but has a negative effect such as lower health or lower damage or a lengthy train time).

The troop modification (maybe) can be performed ONLY on troops you have already trained (but you could do multiple at a time - Modify 20 Goblins to Target Town Hall with the time to train being minimal - who wants to wait longer for troops?)

In your Ex-Lab, possibly you could have a few "favorites", so you don't have to redo your drop down selection process each time.

This modification creates the opportunity for multiple variations of troops, BUT likely requires only modest programming changes. Basically the algorithm which defines a troop's behavior would be modified to be the exact same as one that is already written.

Love this game.. War ON!!!

Awesome idea make sure that Sc sees this

That could get really OP.

It can't get OP because if the OP parts could have negative effects like they said. If did combine something that is regarded as OP then that specific unit is dialed down a little as attack or health or just moves slower like Frankenstein lol

Unique idea, but there are too many "what ifs" and exceptions for it to actually work.

That's what it's about. .. test to see how to fine-tune the addition.

Not sure what you mean about the "What ifs" - pls add more.

Also.. how does one get an idea to the powers that be? If anyone communicates with connected gamers, pls ask them to check it out and fire an opinion

This idea is so OP. Think on Hog Ridas targeting resources, or WORST! Archer Queens Avoiding targeting walls. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Keep Clashing! ;)

What about a flying troop and a ground troop? How's that gonna work?

I don't think I want this in the game. It would be to op. You makes Dragons and/or minions target AD like lava hound and it is over.

So... yes good ideas of what you would NOT include. So NOT EVERYTHING IS MODIFI-ABLE into EVERY possible attack algorithm - roll your eyeballs on that concept.

PLUS: As I noted... " if the hybrid is too effective. .. " impose a negative to balance

Look if you are going to take the time to rebut, at least take the time to read so you don't enlighten everyone as to how short-sighted you are.

There is always a way to make something NOT work... clearly anyone could illustrate one of those.
Worthwhile refinements will come from a process with contributions designed to solve problems.
So going forward, perhaps a more helpful commentary would be a suggestion of cross-breeds that may not work & why,. Or req'd mods to HP & damage that might help.

Keep em coming pls

By too many "what-ifs" and exceptions, I mean that there are too many things that need to have special exception to be viable.

Good question.. no flying hog riders (think of the mess they'd drop)

I guess I just think it's just going to affect the targeting algorithm of the troops. The troop would attack the way that it does (Archers shoot arrows, wall breakers explode, etc), just instead of attacking everything, your Barbie would go after defenses, your Giant would destroy walls. As noted by Vskg51. . Hog riders going after treasure might be too much (-25% speed? or just an NA option).
The "do-ability" of this idea is the fact that they have written all this code already. The hybrid function would just alter the attack process to another character that they have already designed, and possibly modify some easily altered variables such as HP, damage, & movement speed.

Thanks for the feedback - I appreciate your question and how you express it.

You may be surprised at how little is required to modify existing code.
Absolutely leg work (more fingers than legs) would be required to include this.
Simply put, with a modest amount of coding, the designers could have a moderate impact on the game - Ideally, I would just want the ability to possibly make a MORE clever attack, by breeding the targeting of hog riders, with the vulnerability & damage potential of a wall breaker.. If that little skeleton makes it thru - kaboom
I thoroughly enjoy the clan war battles, because I can study my target, & try to drop my troops at the right place and timing to get the most effect with the least troops.

Thanks for the feedback. . Cheers

P.E.K.K.As targeting defenses, goblins targeting defenses, with this, i only gonna use goblins+giant mode. They are fast, green, and avoid almost all the traps. making the troops Smarter, make them Dumbest. Deal with it. Your goblins will never target an exposed TH.:rolleyes:

Keep Clashing! ;)
