I was thinking it would be great to be able to attack your clan allies' base design. You don't actually attack the real base, but just a replica of it and share the replay to help test each others' design.
The troops and spells expended would be used up as normal to prevent people using server resources all day long. No loot or ranking is gained or lost.
there are already similar threads on this topic.
What if your friend changes his/her base to what the war target/ revenge target's base looks like. This has been explained many times, it is EASILY exploitable.
Things can always be don't to avoid exploitation though, you just have to make restrictions. For example, during a war this could be disabled.Quote:

You can still use this for a base you want to revenge.Quote:

And the likely hood of your clanmate having all the structures the same level is slim and to also be able to place all the hidden traps in the same spot is impossible. I know I've had a majority of my troops wiped out by a well placed giant bomb. If you practice with one of those in the wrong place and you get over confident it might actually end up lowering your advantage over the other base.Quote:

That is exactly like saying that scouting on the war map is enough and already gives away the defense.Quote:

I'm not seeing how being able to attack your clan mates' village in a practice "duel" of sorts would lend to any "exploit". The benefit is being able to practice attacks and see how different setups work for defense. You can adjust your base any time an attack shows a weak point anyway. It'd just speed up the process some. Plus you could teach new players easier on how to attack different set ups for YOUR base. Not any base. Just yours.
If training practice troops took the same amount of time as real troops it would limit how often you could launch practice attacks, even if there's wasn't a cost in elixir/gold. Even at half the time to train practice troops I don't see it as exploitable.
The only real problem I see is that, yeah people would probably use it as a mini game and log out less. Ok, so allow attacks while someone's online. Defender get's to deploy his CC troops manually. Different topic though. AND wouldn't having people more active in the game be a good thing?
That's why it should use real troops that cost real resources at real spawning times-- not phantom units that cost 50% or 100% less.
