And also, I have responded less than half of the time, which means I don't respond to everything. And by the way, where do you find these results? I don't know how to see those or see who voted for what on the poll.Quote:

The range is on the original post, it's 3.5, like a Wizard.Quote:

But I think that when it's on 6th place in Dark Barracks Lava Hound, there will be too much lava if there will come Lava-Volcano Mage on 7th place...
I made this: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...ameSketcher%29 - Dagurn troop (no lava), so this(or another troop without lava) could come on 7th place and Volcano Mage on 8th... ;)
Thank you. I'm not good with pictures and I think this is better for DB level 7. And please don't advertise your idea on my thread. :rolleyes:Quote:

Now that I think about it, I think I'll increase the damage boost instead.
Thanks for everyone for the enormous success this thread has gained, making it the second most popular troop idea ever on the forums! Keep posting and I'll keep answering your questions. :)
I have made a post because I have started work on another troop, will be coming soon, hopefully by the end of the month...:smirk:
Wow, It really takes you THAT long to create an idea? No wonder my ideas all die. I normally figure them out within a couple hours.Quote:

This idea is just perfect! But if could, make us a artwork of it!:D
If it's not a problem, could you see my Upgradeable Skeletons idea? Would help me a lot!
Thank you, however I am not creating any more artwork.Quote:

Thank you, am glad you like it. I think it would work well with the newest update.Quote:

Great idea! Only it isn't really clear, do they rage up other troops or not?
Glad you like:)Quote:

Anyone know what that little mail symbol is for?
Not a great idea for 4 months word its just a wizard???

Supercell should add this. Assuming the people who said it needs changes now say yes, that's almost 80% of the people who want this troop in the game, and not every addition has a 100% approval rate.Quote:

But very good idea, very well balanced, Supercell should add this.
Hey not trying to be annoying, but what makes this any different from a regular wizard? It seems like it's pretty much the same thing just with different stats and a different appearance/name.
Um. no. it has the ability to increase the damage dealt by allied troops to a building.Quote:

If it had different stats, name and appearance, what's the same? Oh yeah... it's a ranged troop.Quote:

Why this is not similar to a witch...a question I never thought I'd answer
The only thing similar is that the Volcano Mage is a ranged troop, and does low/medium damage. However, the Volcano Mage does not spawn skeletons, he attacks buildings to make them take more damage. Also, what's different about their damage levels is that they have similar damage at level 1, but the Volcano Mage's damage DRASTICALLY increases while upgrading levels. The Volcano Mage's max damage per attack is 105 and the Witch's is 35, I think.
Why this is not similar to a Wizard
There are three main things that could make you think this is a Wizard at first glance. Probably because of its name.
mage
[ māj ]
NOUN archaic literary
noun: mage · plural noun: mages
- a magician or learned person.
Yes, a Mage is synonymous to a Wizard, but a Witch is very similar to a Wizard as well. Secondly, the Wizard is a high-damaging super cool attack troop, while the Volcano Mage is a medium damage terrorizing-when-used-correctly support troop. There is no similarity, really. Finally, the Volcano Mage has a special ability, and I have already explained that which you would know if you read the original post.
I hope this explains to all of you who think this troop is similar to a Wiz/Witch why it's not. But if it doesn't, feel free to comment and tell me why. Thanks.
Well, this troop is THE EXACT same thing as a P.E.K.K.A. After all, they both should be in Clash of Clans.Quote:

Also mortar towers go after the troop that is the closest and again it would hit the barb king. So maybe add something like he takes more damage from some type of defense.
Seriously... ALL ranged troops attack ground and air. So the only thing that REALLY makes him similar is splash damage. A dragon is ranged. A dragon does splash damage. A dragon attacks ground and air troops. Is a dragon like a wizard? NO!Quote:

Looks can be changed first. Also, it throws lava, not shoots fire. Finally, 63% of people like this, plus probably about an extra 10 from people who voted needs work, but now like the idea.Quote:

Although, "Mage" is somewhat equal to "Wizard". Maybe something like Volcano Scientist? Well I dunno:smirk: but the idea in theory sounds GREAT.:D
Anthony decided that were NOT going to submit any more name ideas. (I still like my MagMagician). SC can change the name to whatever they want.Quote:

However, I've got some things to say about this.
1) It shouldn't attack
Personally, I believe it should work like the healer - standing on the ground spreading an aura (within a radius) which strengthens allies. It boosts the 'babysitting' role of the Mage annd makes it even more vunerable to defenses. It would significantly up its use because it means that many targeting different buildings can benefit from additional attack damage. Affected troops should glow reddish?
2) A buff in HP is due
It has a measly 3 tile radius, the equivalent of a Wizard and shorter than a healer. It's guaranteed to fall to mortars along with archers and wizards - it can't boost when it's dead!
3) Too much DE to make?
I understand it's supposed to be a 'next-in-line' troop that is stronger, but it's cost surpasses the witch - in fact with it's current stats, wouldn't the endurance and attacking power of the Witch be better than the Mage? I think it should be scaled to make it more affordable in a normal army - it has a relatively low cooking time and army camp space after all.
Sorry, I really couldn't think about anything else. I'll post more feedback when I can think of more points.
But really, it's a really well thought out idea - it might need a bit more thought into applications and practicality.
Thanks,
Kyumin2lee
Thank you for your detailed feedback! That really helps.Quote:

2) It is meant to be weak, to strategically place it safe behind other units. At level 1, it has the same HP as a level 6 Wizard, and this troop can be a menace when used correctly. I don't know. As usual, anyone comment if they agree.
3) I will decrease the DE. I agree, the high cost could drive people away from using this troop, and we don't want that :)
If you have anymore questions or concerns, feel free to post more feedback! :)
I think this troop is great and should definitely be in the game but the damage should be low (like the Witch) and also the name makes me think of it as a Wizard hero. But great idea man.
The damage is low, and I have greatly decreased the damage per attack. Thanks.Quote:

Also, look for my new troop. Should be coming soon :)
The Juggernaut?
No. That was a test run troop, not really official. It was mainly to see what people liked and didn't like in a troop to use for later.Quote:

How come? It needs more attack speed to attack more buildings, right?Quote:
