When Darkness falls.

I have an idea for the game and I'm sure a lot of other players have thought about this too. So instead of a new hero that helps improve an army, how about an update that would change the whole attack approach depending on the time.
my idea is to add a day and night in clash of clans.
How would this be any fun? Well for starters, adding the night in clash of clans would give the game a new touch. The new theme would give the current gamers a new touch. Everyone wants something new.
Also, there will be new troops which I suggest can be called "Night raiders".
With that comes new defenses as well new structures. The darkness in the game will affect 3 things.

1. The torches will no longer be just decorations, they will serve as vision during the night and ONLY the night.
2. The defenses such as cannons, archer towers, air defense and mortars etc will have a smaller range of vision BUT that is why we have the torches.
3. Lastly it will affect the whole attack strategy in the game. Giving players a new attack style and even a preference as when to raid.
(Dark Troops of course would have a slight advantage here but then again there will be Dark Catapults or something) well let's have SUPERCELL work that part out

Aside from that, there will be a new defense structure. A hidden lighthouse. It springs up when enemy troops are in range and gives the defense their regular vision. And of course the enemy would have to get rid of that lighthouse in order for their attack plan to work. This night and day would give an attack strategy a whole new approach. It might seem complex but imagine the potential of new troops, defense, heroes and most importantly, the attack strategy of a player.
Let me know what you guys think about this.
Oh and one more thing SUPERCELL. How about allowing Clan vs Clan via Challenge? Leaders can challenge a clan leader for a war. Once accepted, things go as per normal. If rejected then it's simply rejected and no one will find out.
so here is my to you guys..
What will you do, once Darkness falls?

Royal Guard (clan name)
Eros (clan leader)

I really like this idea you have.

It could make all the difference of when someone started a war as well as decide when to attack in a war.

Definitely. But the Night troops are slightly weaker than regular troops but are perfect to counter structures and defenses that are meant for defending the base at night. So it would be a sacrifice for the attacker as well. As for the defender, it is hard but with the right structures, it could be fine as well. So then again, it's all really all about planning and timing with a bit of luck. :)
(SUPERCELL will find a way to make sure it's balanced)

How would this work with different time zones, or would clash have it's own time. Like one of ours days would be 3-4 Ingame

So can "night" troops be used during the day? Also is the lighthouse basically useless during daytime? Maybe give it a low dps so it can be somewhat useful

Every 6 hours will make the Time change. That gives everyone a balanced change. Thus allowing everyone to experience it regardless of the timezone.

Yes night troops can be used during the Day but then again, wouldnt really be a good choice unless these "Night" troops have certain abilities that makes them stand out from normal troops. As for the lighthouse, i suggest it does no damage during the daytime but maybe it could work like the Hidden Testla except that it is NOT hidden and it does less damage on normal troops. But against Night troops its pretty good.

I wonder if SUPERCELL is reading this and whether they will some how contact me to say that this IDEA is being put into consideration or if it's being RULED OUT.
I have seen some ideas out there regarding New Spells and New Heroes. For me those things can wait. Those are just additional things that gives a player 1 extra hero or spell. What i'm going for is a completely new point of view in which the time of attack can actually be the deciding factor. Who knows. Some players might be really good with Night Raids.

SUPERCELL are you reading this? :)

Well since my idea is about adding the night into the game, then let me talk about a Hero whose name is known world wide, "Dark Knight" but rest assured, he will not look like batman.

His appearance is actually inspired from a Warcraft character called the Lich King or Abadon.
For me he is the best example of how a dark knight would look like. I made him a little more colorful to suit the clash of clans theme more.
About this Hero:

Blinded by Dark Elixir he is filled with hunger for destruction. His blade drips with dark elixir.
Just like any other Hero in clash of clans, he charges into Battle, destroying anything in its path.
The path he leaves behind bares the mark of dark elixir.

Details:
level 1
Damage is 130 (hits slightly stronger than the barbarian king at level 1)
Health is at 1450 (250 less than the barbarian king)
movement is 20 (slightly faster than the barbarian king and slightly slower than Hogs)
Just like the Hogs he can jump over walls but unlike the hogs, he has no specific target. He will attack whatever is closest.
Regeneration time is 1 hour and a half? 2 hours? (not sure cause I am still new in coc and only have a barbarian king)
His special skill also requires a sacrifice of elixir or dark elixir depending on whether you set him as an Air or Ground unit.
At level 7 he unlocks a skill allowing the user to change him from Ground to Air unit.
(Turning his horse into a Pegasus or dragon)

as an Air unit, his movement speed decreases to 16 (same of that as a dragon).
The secondary skill he has is triggered in battle.
When the Dark Knights HP drops to 10% a black lightning will strike in a 4 tile radius and summon 2 smaller dragons that are level 1-2 on the random spot.

as a Ground unit, the Dark Knight summons 3 hogs riders level 1-2 at a 4 tile radius.

this might seem over powered but do keep in mind, this is a TH9 hero that will cost 8-10m Gold, 8-10m elixir and 50-70k dark elixir to make.
but of course this is just an idea and you guys could help me balance him if he seems too overpowered or if I should make him stronger.
I did my best to think of a way where he is not over powered.
Do give me a feed back. I would appreciate it.
