Start and End Wars Quicker
This idea is simplistic in nature. While the 24 hour prep is great. Often many of the hours are unneeded. So with this new feature here is how it works.
Once the Leader of a clan feels that all troops are inside the clan castle and that his clan is ready to start the war. He clicks the "Ready Now" button. This will send a message to the other clan that 'Clan X' is prepared for War. Clan Y will be able to click "Ready Now" whenever they are ready. If they choose to not click the "Ready Now" button then the normal 24 hour time period will still be the threshold.
On the back end of the War. If a Clan Leader feels that their Clan can do no more then he may click the "End War" now button. This like the ready now will send a prompt to the opposing clan letting them know that they wish to End the War. The other clan may choose to either accept this and End the War as well. Or let the remaining time tick off.
There could be several reasons for wanting to End a war quickly.
1) You have securely won the war and the other clan does not have enough attacks left to claim enough stars.
2) You realize defeat and wish to end the misery and start a new war.
Pros:
Clans may be able to war more often.
Cons:
Clan's could choose to end the War early simply because they feel it is an unfavorable match up.
A clan leader could end the war before some people in the clan have a chance to use their attacks. (Although this would be more of an internal issue than Supercell issue).
Last word - I don't see any negatives to starting the war Early. It seems this would be a productive use of time. I do see potential consequences to ending War's early. Hopefully for those of us that fiend War's this can be considered!
