new ability : direct troops

I've been playing boom beach in addition to clash lately. One nice feature in boom is the flare which allows you to direct the movement of your troops in battle. I think it would be cool if you could do the same in clash.

You could go about this a couple of ways. First, you could use a spell to direct all of your troops to attack either a specific building or move to a specific region of the map. A second way to do this would be with a new hero - the general. This hero might have a weak ranged attack ability, but give the player the ability to direct specific troop types to specific targets on the map. Maybe allow the player to tap a troop type that they currently have deployed (ie barbarians), then tap a building or area on the map to send all of their deployed barbarians there. This would give attacking players much greater control over the outcome of attacks, and eliminate the annoying "why the heck did my Pekka and king just walk past that th?!" situation that we've all been in before.

Its a good idea but we already have a jump spell. It may not be the same as Boom's flare but it still is pretty effective.(If you place it correctly.) And I do realize that the jump spell is unlocked at TH 9 so lower THs cant direct their troops. But also what if you tapped on the town hall and it was in the center of a base. Would your troops break through each wall layer on the way? and how long would it last? In boom there are no walls so a flare works better. Just trying to point some things out!
