"War Bid" system to coordinate attacks
My idea is regarding trying to coordinate which members of a clan attack each base during a clan war. My suggestion is to establish a "War Bid" system during Preparation Day in which a player can scout the bases of the enemy clan (as we can do now), but also have the option of "bidding" the number of "stars" they believe they can get on a base. Example: let's say my I'm ranked 20th in my clan during a given war, but when I scout the enemy clan, I'm sure I can 3-star the player ranked 15th. I could place a 3-star bid on that base. Other players in my clan could match my bid if they like, or they would be freed up to look at other bases knowing that I have #15 under control. It would be up to each clan to make a rule about who wins in the event of a tied bid.
This accomplishes a few things:
1) It communicates who will attack a given base without everyone trying to communicate it in the chat when not everyone is on at the same time.
2) It bridges the communication gap created by language barriers for clans that are international.
3) For clans that use an "Attack Your Equal Rank" strategy for first round of attacks, it essentially allows for higher and lower ranked players to "trade" bases to attack based on troop/defense match ups.
4) Helps eliminate fights about who was going to attack whom during a war when leaders have worked out a strategy, but a player was unaware there was a plan in place and attacked the wrong base.
Please consider this suggestion. Thank you for a great game and keep up the good work!
