Honestly, this is probably the first thread based on a troop idea that I haven't wanted to scream at haha. It has a lot of detail and it answers every possible question I can think of.

Just a small thing, does the troop change it's appearance slightly when upgraded? If so, how? Other than that, it's a solid 10/10 rating from me. :thumbsup:

Great work! :cool:

Haha thanks XD Anyway, I think his outfit will just get more fiery as you level him up - although, I can't add this artwork because clannis is the creator and he isn't on too much anymore.

Thanks for the feedback :cool:

As much as I'd like to say yes, and I'm really glad you like it, I don't feel comfortable with my idea going up onto YouTube. Just something about it makes me feel a little leery of it. I hope you understand, but I'm glad you like it enough to make a YouTube video about it. :(

What happens if he is on CC Defense?

Basically the same as on offense, except he won't cause the small damage boost at the beginning as it would be hard to implement.

After two years of playing, I have noticed that a new dark troop has come out every August except for the one of course when clash was first developed. The witch came out August 2013 and the Lava Hound was August 2014.. Let's hope the VM is next :)

They will surprise us, don't worry. ;)

Another great idea from Anthony! (I read the spell one before this) :thumbsup: I've read through the thread for so many times and I still can't think of any flaws to this unit

Just one question: dunno whether this has been asked before but if I read it right, the VM gives surrounding troops a boost upon deployment. Does this boost also apply to air troops?

I looked and I thought the Witch came out in July and the Hound in September; I may be mistaken, but yeah, it looks like it could be around the time for a new troop, and I really hope so. However, it may be Supercell's big ClashCon surprise?

Thanks! Yes, the small boost does affect air units as well, will help a lot with Lavaloon, maybe replace Rage with Haste now that the Balloons would have a permanent damage boost :smirk:

How about instead since this is pretty much like the wizard, the next upgrade on the laboratory for wizard will become this

I don't think you read the thread :) Try reading it, and you'll see that the only thing similar between this and a Wizard is the appearance and name. This troop has many special abilities that are very much different than Wizards'.

Don't worry here Anthony, this person is only being a troll and insisting the same sentence upon every other troop idea he sees.

Is that really its apperance ? , it resembles a wizard but just different power , i think its also good for that to appear as a lady or a monster-type. . . . ,just my idea.

Dude. No. Troops have their own specialties and turning one troop into another isn't a good idea.

I mean what differs is that it gives power boost to allies and it also deals a thing to the turrets to take more damage u can just add that in to the wizard upgrade since everything else is kinda same

You have no idea what you're talking about. You need to go back and read the thread, the Volcano Mage has a completely new purpose other than that of the Wizard. You must understand that he is not trying to re-create or upgrade one of the troops, but is trying to create another new troop with its own purpose and capability.

Please stop this arguing and look over the thread if you do not understand it.

Okay....I'm not the creator of the game, so I wouldn't be the one deciding what it looks like. Please don't judge this troop based on one small unnecessary detail.

Thanks.

Troops do NOT gain special abilities as they are upgraded, and in my opinion this is almost nothing like a Wizard. So please stop insisting on that, because I don't think you read it carefully enough :)

And congratulations to me! For reaching 300 votes for wanting to see this in the game :smirk:

I don't even think anybody needs to read the post to love it. Just scroll through the entire thing and see how much work and info there is, and everybody can respect that. I hope this gets added. And the idea is unique, nobody else has a troop like this. If it's added, we will all know where it came from.

It's really not. You can't just create a new aspect for a troop at an upgrade level. That would be like coming out with level 8 barbarians that can fly and hold machine guns.

Thanks for all the support you give to this idea :) I saw you suggest it on the "What you would like for an upcoming update" thread :smirk:

This idea is so cool Supercell's never gonna make it :cool:
I'll keep bumping it until they do ;)

Here I will keep a live log of the interview:
JN2K14: Hello, AnthonyVince. Thank you for taking the time to come here today to do this interview. Okay, first question. How did you come up with the idea of the Volcano Mage?
AV: Well, it started after I read an idea called the Alchemist. He made buildings take more damage as well. From there, I decided to change the theme to make him fit Town Hall 10, and of course adding the other special ability when he makes nearby troops do more damage when deployed.
JN2K14: How did you hear about the forums, and why did you want to join?
AV: I didn't hear about the forum, per say. When I first joined Clash, I was researching about the next update and found the sneak peeks
for the Lava Hound on the forum. I forgot about it for a while, then started thinking of many ideas for the game. I wanted to see others' ideas too, so I stalked the forums from October to March, when I finally decided to join the community
JN2K14: Okay.
So, when you stalked the forums, did you see anyone you know now? Like, maybe, I don't know, a guy who made his avatar a Volcano Mage?
AV: No sorry XD the people I remember from stalking the forums are Kowalski, FireThief, Smasher, Scavenger, and BattleBorn (who's now retired) :smirk:
JN2K14: If SuperCell ever made the VM in the game, would you want credit for it?
AV: Ummm...yeah, since I came up with the idea. :smirk: But of course I also think they should give credit to Automatum who created the Alchemist idea.
JN2K14: What would you want as your reward?
And would you want SC to actually say in the sneak peek, "Credits to AnthonyVince and Automatum for giving us this idea!!!"
AV: As a reward? Nothing, really. A while back when I first created the thread and it got immense support (that's when people started wanting it to come in an update) I really wanted a 2,000 gem reward, I think I even made a post about it :smirk: But now I've got my fifth builder's hut, so I don't really need any reward. ;)

No, I wouldn't say it has to be in the sneak peek or anything. But I'm hoping that since enough people know the idea, they would ask "Hey, didn't you get that from the Alchemist/Volcano Mage?" And Supercell would respond, "Yes, actually!" :smirk: That's all I really need.
JN2K14: Okay....<scribbles long VM furiously on notepad>
How did you get the inspiration for the Inferno Spell?
AV: Inferno Spell was my original idea. I really wanted to come up with another groundbreaking idea, since people wanted me to. So I was on a walk (which I absolutely HATE) and I just thought of the idea. It seems to be doing pretty well - over, what, 120 comments?
JN2K14: 165, actually.
How did the other forumers treat you when you were new?
AV: Oh, yay! http://forum.supercell.net/images/smilies/rolleyes.png

When I first joined, I'm sure many people were annoyed by me because I was pretty sarcastic. Now I try to be as helpful as possible when I do post - and that isn't very often anymore, it's either on one of my ideas or I'm VMing.

I made a retirement thread afterward, and I did intent to retire, but I couldn't because I like it too much here http://forum.supercell.net/images/smilies/wink.png
JN2K14: What would you say was your biggest forum fail?
AV: Biggest forum fail? Um....I don't really know. I try to forget about that stuff http://forum.supercell.net/images/smilies/rolleyes.png
JN2K14: LOL...
As you may or may not know, the former most replied/viewed troop idea is Jamesf01's Wolf.(James is now banned and the thread closed) What do you think about that idea?
AV: Well, he spammed my idea and I didn't like that http://forum.supercell.net/images/smilies/rolleyes2.png But the idea itself is alright. I would actually like to have that kind of troop, but the only thing is it just doesn't seem like it would create any new strategies; and definitely be useless now that we have the Poison Spell.
JN2K14: http://forum.supercell.net/images/smilies/xdgrin.png lol...
What do you think about TheOneTheyCallSmasher's Knight(which today tied Hascerflef's Cyclops for the second most popular troop idea on the forums), and Lukmin's Range Spell(the most popular spell idea on the forums)?
AV: About the Knight: Like the idea more every day, just feel it has a bit too much health. Maybe make it so the Knight takes only a % of the damage from defenses and reflects the remaining % back to them? Of course, traps would fully affect him.

About the Range Spell: I like it, just feel like it's too underpowered, even for a Dark Spell if it were to be one. http://forum.supercell.net/images/smilies/rolleyes.png
JN2K14: Okay, thank you for coming to this interview.
AV: We're done? Awwww http://forum.supercell.net/images/smilies/rolleyes.png

Shouldnt it be JG2K14 instead of JN2K14?
August 20th, 2015
Shiftybobo

I was just wondering about this on defense, will it boost the other CC troops to, or will it give two defenses closest to it damage increases? And would this not make wars extremely hard for clans without th10s who can donate this troop? I mean Th8s can goWipe but they don't have this troop, but if they get one in their clan castles won't that one clan become OP? And then won't strategies such as lavaloonion become OP? I hope I am not being to much of a downer :)

I hope I am not being to much of a downer :)

1. On defense the VM will neither increase defense damage or have the small damage increase. He will just make targets (which would be troops or heroes) take more damage from other units that are in the clan castle.
2. How would it make it hard? Town Hall 10 has no exclusive troop yet. And they can have a PEKKA in their CC, which can be more powerful. The VM is only very powerful with certain armies which is what makes it balanced.
3. There's always ways to balance out additions.

No. Visitor messages are already OP. They can send a message to a particular forumer and it automatically appears on their profile. Now you want them to make heroes and troops take more damage from other cc troops? That's far too OP. :smirk:

New name!

I am thinking of the name Pyro which is used to define a person who shoots off fireworks, since the Mage shoots "fire" (Lava) I think this is a good name for him :)

Aye I had an idea; Instead of having the Volcano Mage throw lava at its targets, what if we could have it bring up lava from the ground to weaken structures? Lava is mainly underground anyways. Think about how neat this would look in war, with the Volcano theme layout.

interesting

I rather like the idea of a troop that makes buildings take more damage, similar to that inferno spell idea of yours.

Idk about the permanent damage increase though to surrounding troops..... That seems a bit rigged.... specifically if it's to a group of valks wiz or pekkas and then You rage them afterwards (followed by dropping that inferno spell if it's ever implemented).

Just seems like too much, though overall I like the concept I feel inspired by this and think there's a lot of potential for a troop type of this sort.

New Name?

Maybe instead of Volcano Mage we call it the Torch? Most of the characters right now only have one single name oppose to two words forming one name. Torch, Flare, Fury, Burner, Inferno, Firestorm, Lava, & etc. might be better IMO.

Here's what's new!
- Livvy's Agent troop added under possible units the Volcano Mage could work well with
- Jaron's Cannoneer troop added under possible units the Volcano Mage could work well with
- Damage boost decreased by 20% across all levels
- Subsequently, initial damage boost decreased by 10% across all levels

I think this would be a great addition to the game

But a few things need to be adjusted. Imo I think its health and att damage needs to be reduced. As to me it is a little bit to strong. I think it should have similar cons like the witch has.

The witch has weak hitpoints, weak att, however has a great ability to spawn skellies. Overall making it quite balanced in terms of pros and cons.

As it stands the Volcano Mage has quite good hitpoints ( more like a wizard ) att is relatively good considering its ability to weaken buildings at the same time. So to get to my point, i believe its slightly op and you may need to consider.

But I do like the idea :):thumbsup:

Well you see, the DPS and HP of the Volcano Mage are quite low. I don't believe Anthony designed the troop to be a major damage dealer, unless you count how the Volcano Mage will increase damage done to every building it targets :smirk:
But the point is, the Volcano Mage can't primarily dish out a lot of damage and can't take too much either.(The troop will be for TH10's anyway) The major purpose of this troop would be to support troops. 25-40DPS is quite low,but it's still better than nothing, and 142-206HP is decent for a smaller offense/support troop for TH10.

You have to be extremely careful when creating a troop that affects all other troops, within in a given rage. The healer is the only other troop that currently has this ability, and it doesn't even do damage on its own. I would say the current percentages make it far too OP. Essentially you have the damage increase component of a rage spell, just in troop form. If you protected it even semi-well, then it could provide a boost comparable to that of a decent level rage spell for the duration of an attack! Furthermore, a 50% permanent damage increase is insane. I would cut down on both the damage boost and the initial, permanent damage boost. Also, consider raising its hit points and not making it do any damage on its own. A troop that both increases the effectiveness of other troops, as well as attacks on its own, is running a high risk of being OP. I imagine that's why the healer is also the only troop that doesn't do damage to structures.

Thanks, I didn't want to decrease these stats any more (you should have seen them when I first created the thread :p) so I decided to take these into consideration and increase the training cost by A LOT across all levels. Hope this will make up for it :smirk:

Three words. Town Hall 10. :p Healer is unlocked at Town Hall 6, this at Town Hall 10.

I think this troop could die very easily, and in my opinion the stats are pretty balanced as it is. And actually, yes it may be slightly comparable because he could possibly last the whole raid, but if a Giant Bomb came, let's look at the differences....

MAX Rage Spell:
-Duration: Somewhere around 18 seconds?
-Damage boost: PLUS 170% of troops' original damage
-Speed boost: Idk, somewhere around 30

MAX Volcano Mage:
-Duration: Anywhere from none to endless
-Damage boost: PLUS 100% of troops' original damage
-Speed boost: None

Personally I think this is fair for what is a Town Hall 10-exclusive troop.

I do strongly object to the 50% initial, permanent damage boost though. You will find nothing that permanently increases the damage or health of a troop. Everything thus far is temporary.

Good to see you have balanced it a bit more. :thumbsup: Thats really the only point i wanted to add, because imo i good troop idea has to have a balance of good and bad statistics for it to work. :thumbsup::smirk: I hope it all pays off for you and we see the mage in action.

Eh, the TL;DR wouldn't be like that.. In the troop bank I just put "A place to store troops". I'd recommend you just put something like "A troop that shoots lava while doing [Insert whatever here]. (Like I said I haven't read this thread in a while lol)

I get your frustration. But I think Vince has done a great job creating this troop to the best of his ability. He has put up many suggestions of the statistics of the troop, which is not set in stone and im sure if SC elect to proceed with this troop, they will do the required testing and modification to ensure this troop bends into the game. Without actually seeing this troop in action i think its best we support it if we like the idea and leave the final modifications to the SC team. :-)

Thanks, but again, that defeats the entire purpose of the permanent damage boost. Without it, and with the feature you are suggestion, this troop would again support troops only that have no favorite targets. I want this troop to support all troops. Without the current damage boost, the Volcano Mage would not be able to provide a damage boost to Giants, Goblins, Wall Breakers, Balloons, Healers, Hog Riders, Golems, or Lava Hounds, or at least not very much if at all.

I have already changed it so that this troop will not affect heroes at all, so I hope that helps.

Ah fair enough, I could see why the permanent boost would make sense so it could apply to those other troops that would be harder to keep grouped with him....

So how about this then..... what if the boost he creates only applies to troops within a certain radius of him, and if they can stay in that radius it is in fact permanent for an entire attack.... however once they step out of that radius it then initiates a countdown for it to wear off (id say about 30 seconds)

Imo I think that'd be a cool way to add a sense of balance to it.... so if you want troops like giants hog riders goblins or loons to get his boost.... when and where you place him then becomes more strategically relevant

And then if they return into his radius at some point (before or after the boost wears off) the duration countdown would be reset and not start again until they're out of his radius once more

Maybe it sounds more complicated that way, but I dont really think it would be much harder to implement

Annnd no worries bud lol I rather like the concept of a volcanic mage afterall; I think its pretty cool.... just wanted to throw out a darker themed alternative to see if it would spark your interest

Again, that kind of defeats the purpose. If I were to add that, it would support the troops for a while, but still would not support all of the troops, all of the time. I get what you're saying and it does make sense but I feel for a Town Hall 10-exclusive troop and most likely a new defense level to counteract him, this troop needs to be elite and useful.

And thanks, but I like sticking to the lava/volcano theme of Town Hall 10, and I make that pretty obvious seeing both of my ideas :smirk:

Good, and thanks. There are many ways to counter a specific troop; some of the things I was thinking of were new levels for Skeleton Traps and Giant Bombs, along with an increase in damage for level 4 X-bows (by a lot).

Hmm, no, I think the HP is fine where it is. Remember, this is meant to support by weakening all the structures for all other troops in your army, and isn't a primary damage dealer. 146-206HP troop will be difficult to keep alive, and this troop could make a big difference in a raid or war.

I think it is fine as it is now, but I have a feeling I will be changing something about this troop soon to make it more powerful, so maybe then.

Exactly. Now, for my main post:

I am looking to getting rid of the permanent damage boost upon deployment. However, I still want something that will enable the Volcano Mage to weaken many buildings at a time. I was thinking of an "aura" that follows him around and makes all buildings inside take more damage, but I thought that may reduce strategy. If anyone has any ideas, please tell me :)

I honestly think it's fine the way it is right now. I don't think I'd want this troop to be too easy to use and get used to, so if there were to be a little aura for the VM to rap around the nearest buildings, it may be even easier to destroy structures, and even less strategy, like you said.

I agree, but the permanent damage boost upon deployment seems like a weird feature for a Clash of Clans troop. I think there is a better way I can enable the Volcano Mage to support all troops :)

And a skeleton riding in a balloon would not be weird? :smirk:
Maybe the boost would only last 10 seconds??

I'll Suggest Change the Volcanic Mage to "Dark Priest"

"Dark Priest" is the Healer of Air Units Only. Because Volcanic Mage is look like wizzards only, i think that Volcanic Mage go to Level 7 Wizzard only ? That is my suggestion?

I think you should reduce the amount of buildings it can target at once...

Very sorry to bring this out of the depths, but this is the best troop idea on the Forums........

I still think having it unlimited only while within his radius is the way to go on that; and then once out of his radius a limited duration is initiated.

Think about it drop a VM, then follow him.up with loons, or giants, hogs, or gobs (or a rabbit lol) basically all troops thatll run off and do their own thing, but since they passed through his effect area they get his boost for like 30 seconds or whatever limit you wanna set. Even with a boost that's limited, its still.a pretty powerful effect that can make a big difference in a raid (especially if they also throw in that inferno spell idea of yours). Picture a hog raid, powered up by a vm boost then amplified by rage spell and having their damage spread to multiple buildings with inferno spell.

I picture that straight tearing open a new ***hole up in a base ♥♥♥♥.

I really like this troop idea, just sharing my.opinion on what might be a good way to tweak it
