Battle for Artifacts

My idea would be to make a Treasury building and add Artifact items for which players could fight constantly and that aren't resources.

Treasury - A new building
The Treasury would be the place to store Artifacts and it has a limit of holding maximum 3 type of artifacts.

Artifacts - Lootable items that need to be defended
Artifacts are items that have magical powers which give some benefits to players who hold these items.

-Each artifact is consisting of 3 pieces so a maximum of 9 pieces of 3 different artifacts can be stored in the Treasury.
-The more pieces you have from an artifact in your Treasury the higher benefit you get.
-A full set of 3 pieces from an artifact type gives the highest benefit.
-Artifacts have powers such as they decrease of 5 - 10% of all building costs or another one to speed up construction and research by 5 - 10%. Another one could increase the HP of all buildings by 5 - 10%.
-There are 3 different types of artifacts available.

Battle for Artifacts
The way to receive Artifacts is to attack other players' treasury and loot artifact pieces.

-Attackers can only loot a maximum of 1 piece per attack.
-Attacker doesn't know if defender has any artifacts in the treasury and if they have which type of artifact it is from
-After a successful looting attacker can decide to keep or leave an artifact piece
-If you keep an artifact piece from looting it will go to your treasury
-If you leave the looted piece it will go back to defender's Treasury
-Attacker can only loot an artifact if he has Treasury that is not full
-Until you own all 3 pieces from an artifact type in your Treasury you cannot keep an artifact piece of the same type after looting

I'm looking forward to hear what you think about this idea.

This is pretty interesting. One of my initial thoughts is these artifacts could just be stored in the town hall then it would be a lot more valuable to everyone and also you would have yet another storage to protect.

They way you describe it there would be a limited amount of these items since they only come from other players. How would they be initially distributed? What happens when people quit and there villages get attacked less, can more be made?

Great idea! I would find the game more interesting if this is in a future update.

Perhaps building the treasury would randomly generate some number of these artifacts. Maybe 1 piece of each type or something.

Abandoned bases would be tricky as yeah they would consume artifacts. There would have to be a way to introduce more. However being able to build them would probably make them not scarce enough.

Definitely an interesting idea. Storing in the TH is also an interesting twist on the mechanic.

Wow, that's a wonderful idea! I love it.

I like your approach dahimi. Maybe those artifacts could be made available by beating the last goblin level or so and you get one random piece once. That could provide some extra motivation to do the goblin levels (and maybe any future final levels of other single player missions). And all those players who did beat the last goblin level already just get the item at next login.

But building them could be okay too I think, if it just takes relatively long. Maybe it could take 14 days to finish one piece. Gemmable or not, I don't know.

Wow, Good I idea. I like it al ot. It definitely would make it cool if you stored them in the TH and people had to defend it. It would also be neat if you could hide them somewhere. And maybe you had a character like an archeologist that you could bring with you in your attack that would be looking for them in other bases. Not sure what the cost of the archeologist would be, but I think that would work well with this idea...

I think this is a great idea and it would certainly add some extra depth to the game. The rewards for holding these artefacts sound great too. Come on Supercell, take a look at this =]

How is it that a quit persons base would consume artifacts? Do they get attacked less? Less resources over time so no one attacks it? Less instances of them removing a shield? The collectors still collect so.. I would still attack it?

I am missing how the abandoned bases hurt this pretty neat new idea? Once all of the pieces of artifacts are looted from their TH then they have no impact on this anymore


Maybe you get one piece of artifact for completing all the challenges

One for the goblin missions.

One per TH upgrade?

Add additional challenges and instead of gem rewards have an artifact reward.


Neat concept

In matching, active players/villages will come up in the queue before inactive villages, the are not gone but you are less likely to find them. In the OP the artifacts come from looting players, if that were they only way to get them inactive villages would all but remove them from the pool. This doesn't really hurt the overall concept they would just have to be more than one way to acquire them like building them, looting them off goblins, or like the ones you've suggested.
